On Saturday i went to Birmingham to pick up a Z3M, unfortunately the work was too much for me as listed below so i walked away from the opportunity. However people on here might be more able to take the challenge on.

It's a 1998 (S) Z3M with 105k on the clock. It has part service history, a gap between 2006 and 2011 however it has stamps for every other year regardless of mileage.
The seller will take offers at £9,500 for it, maybe less, and he does take credit cards if that helps.
- The gearbox pins need swapping out, its a struggle to get into 5th gear and when out, stays below 5th. It's a £3 fix but gearbox out
- The roof is missing the interior liner that covers the bars, that needs adding
- engine has flaking paint on the rocker cover and the vanos chrome is peeling, but this is cosmetic, the engine had no other visible issues
- Alloys have benefited from a powder coat and the tires are all still quite meaty
- Bodywork is in really good condition, bar 2 areas, front drivers door has some bubbling rust under the paint and near the passenger sills
- Underneath, certain components like anti roll bar and suspension arms need stripping away, sanding back the rust and painting, but nothing is corroded or falling off, just needs TLC
- it has Bilstein dampers on the front, think it's stock springs though?
- interior drivers seat bolster has broken
- all electrics work when i saw it and everything was present and accounted for. Including arm rest tape deck and boot mounted CD changer
I wanted this car, but I would have put every penny into buying it and then needing some time to save up and do the work.
The car is drive-able but the gear pin issue put me off.
Tej was a great guy, really helpful and wasn't angry when i chose to walk away from it. So i highly recommend him.
In addition, he'll throw in a toy version of the car for free, haha.
If anyone has some queries, i'd be happy to try and answer, if not, reach out to Tej if you are interested in the car. Just MOT'd and centrally based if you want to get the train in. £4 taxi from Birmingham New Street
