Z3M
Sadly I have decided to sell my Z3M. I bought the car in April after it had been stored for three years and put it back on the road. I have replaced the radiator, the oil cooler and some hose pipes and had the car serviced. Since then I have had the ECU overhauled and the brake cables replaced. Underneath the car there is no rust. However the body work is a little scruffy. Some minor pieces to the car are missing ie plastic engine undershield The mileage is at 149000 which is an average of 8000 miles per year. It runs well and does not seem to burn any oil. The air con does not work but everything else seems to. The car had the clutch replaced at 125000 and the boot floor was welded at 128000. I have all the bills for the car along with the service manual. The last owner had the car detailed at http://www.spiderve.com/bmw_roadster.html but these pictures make the body look much better than it really is. This M is the cheapest M roadster on the market and I am looking for £8500 http://www.bmwmregistry.com/detail.php?id=15539

Saw it pop up on Ebay today.

I'd add a little more info about the boot repair.

At the moment it just says "boot floor welded"

To us we know what that means, but to someone that doesn't know they may be thinking why it's been done.

Just a thought.

Gone from Ebay....sold already? I bet it has at that price. £2,000 spent would make it worth £12-14,000

Just waved goodbye to her as she went off towards Heathrow to her new home. Her new owner also has an Z3M coupe so she will not be lonely. Just hope he joins the forum. I will never sell a car on Ebay again. 40 messages and counting.

At that price your phone would have melted if you put it on a site such as Autotrader where people could call you!
With Ebay at least you can reply without having to speak to anybody.

Hi, who's the coupe owner? Assume they're on the coupe site?

Sadly due to privacy I cannot name him but I am trying to get him to join the forum. He had stripped out the car and rebuilt it. His theory on why the coupes are worth so much more is that they were built in Germany and not in the USA. I will keep working on him to join
