It's for my woman not me!

Anyone know of any good ones forsale, don't say there aren't any!

Looked at 2 today both not up to the job, one had been painted front an rear very badly and had a genuine 38k on the clock. I thought otherwise!

The other had an ashtray full off fag ends was a bit scruffy with a knackered throttle cable as it was extremely heavy and the gearbox was being awkard. Final one on this was the rear screen splitting right in half when i tested the electric roof worked!

My mums got one which is my yard stick as it's in top order with a very sweet engine and they go like f**k. Seems i might struggle to find one as good. My missus doesn't want it as it's green

2.8 Z3's are rapid make no mistake, they fly

If i wasn't a loser i'd be out buying a Zm3 coupe. I can't imagine what these are like with an extra 130bhp 8O

2.8's are very quick indeed.

A good Z3M which actually makes the power is immense.

The S54 engined ones are simply mental and surprisingly always make the quoted 325 bhp.
