My new weekend toy.... (well, new to me...)

[Corsair7]

Spent some of my redundancy money on this....
I think its a little beauty.
First rear wheel drive car for 15 years...
First petrol car for 5 years...
First car ever with more than 4 cylinders...



Ok. so its not exactly a 'supercar', and it rather old.....

but its mine. And I like it.

What the hell have you been driving all your life, dishwashers?

Had a couple of turbo / supercharged cars, but other than that, nothing interesting.

Describing some of them as a 'dishwasher' would be talking some of them up!!!

[Craiglamuffin]

I like it too. Bravo

[Graebob]

Nice

Don't like the chromey vents though (although they might be standard, not too familiar with Z3's)

[marcosgt]

Enjoy!

What engine is it? I do like the Z3, think it has aged very very well.

[Dalto123]

Very nice what engine does it have then?

[lewisf182]

That is very nice, always loved the look of z3's. Black on black suites it well.

What litre and BHP do these have? (in general and this particular one)

[anonymous-user]

Nice one. I like the black alloys, suit it well

[Corsair7]

Engine is the 2.8 litre. Has some slight engine mods, gives around 210-220bhp so I'm told. But it sounds like its got more!!!! Very 'grumbly'.

Enough bhp for me, seeing as I have been driving FWD for most of my adult life (had a couple of MR2's years ago, and some 3 series BMWs) but nothing RWD for about 15 years.

Thanks for positive comments. I could have afforded some early Z4's, which would have undoubtedly been better cars, but this seemed to have more charchter.

[freakybacon]

Nice one. I like it a lot.

[Ari]

Good shout, like it!

[Baryonyx]

Should be a nice car to have a bit of fun in.

[iva cosworth]

Good choice ,quite like the Z3 ,bit fugly up front but meh to that.

[Caruso]

Nice Batmobile spec.

[Grandpa Potts]

Well done you. Spending any spare dosh on a noisy impractical 2 seater sports car makes you a fully paid up Pistonhead!

[zaphod42]

Nice. I love the Z3, especially the spitfire type vents either side of the bonnet.

Not the best handling of beasts (we had a lowly 1.9) but huge fun, and personally I love the looks; quite timeless.

[snotrag]

Interested to know how your getting on with this car?

Where did you find it?
