FOR SALE *REDUCED PRICE* BMW Z3 Arctic Silver Hard Top

Post by silverz3m98 »

Hi I have for sale my immaculate Arctic Silver Hard Top from my fantastic 98 BMW Z3M Roadster.

My lovely Z3M Roadster went to a great home but the new owner didn't require the hard top and accessories.

The Hard Top comes with original documentation, case, key and portable stand.

For pictures please see pistonheads advert 1822815. I am advertising the top at the reduced price of 450 pounds and feel this is an amazing price looking around at the few others for sale.

Please call me (Nick) on 07941 404937 if interested. I am based in Milton Keynes and looking to clear some garage space.[/b]

Thats a great price for a titanium silver with stand :wink:

Does it have the fitting kit (ie did you remove it form the car?)

Good luck with the sale

Are you sure its a Tianium Hardtop ?

your car was a 98 model which means it was artic silver :puzzle:

I assume the top was a different shade of silver when fitted to your car then (the two are quite different side by side) ?

I could kick myself now but I left the fixing kit in the car (didn't realise there were other parts to remove).

As far as the colour is concerned I am not sure where I got the idea it was Titan silver, the top seemed to match with the car. The car was definitely registered in 98 but the hard top has a part number sticker on it with a 99 date on!!

99 could be either ie <04/99 Arctic & and >04/99 Titanium.

If it matched your 98 car perfectly then its Arctic Silver not Titanium (you would have noticed the difference in colour) :wink:

From what Jonttt says it must be Artic silver. It matched the 98 car perfectly. Sorry for any confusion to anyone.

***price Reduced Again****

Post by silverz3m98 »

Hi

This is crazy but I am reducing the price again. I need money to spend on my new car and I need space in the garage.

This top is immaculate. It comes with a portable stand, cover, key and original documentation.

NOW BEING SOLD FOR 400.

I have seen second hand hard tops for double this price. What a bargain even if you don't use it too often its a great accessory to have with the car.

Please help me out here. Whilst I agree that £400 is a steal is there not a similar amount to pay for the fitting kit etc etc.

You can get non BMW kits off Fleabay from about £150. The OEM kits is around £260.

You will also need the heated rear window switch and wiring.

Maybe you could contact the person who bought your car and explain you forgot to remove the vital fitting kit... and could you go round with a spanner?

Not many are sold with the fitting kit as usually people sell there carsw first then thr hardtop as in this case.

My first Z had the fitting kit and I did not even realise it so its always worth checking if your car has it already :wink:

Hi Tim,

Your Zed is definitely Titanium Silver, same as mine paint code 354. Arctic silver is paint code 309. Is there a paint code on the hardtop? but as Jon pointed out you would have noticed the colour difference if the top is arctic silver :lol:

Would stick me neck out and say Titan silver as yours is after 04/99 :lol:

Although I would have it sprayed up gloss black, then you can show me what it looks like on your Zed :wink:

Yep, 12/99 production will be titanium silver as they stopped manufacturing Artci silver from 04/99.

Yours is an early titanium silver (its still a current colour) and so that probably explains why the paint label changed for later zeds :wink:
