How overpriced is this turd!
http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p
It looks in good condition bodywork wise but the rear silencer has seen betters days.
Low mileage and original except the wheels and lights.
£4500 seems about right to me.
What do the zone Mafia think?

Being an R reg it more than likely would have started out with a nikasil block but its easy enough to check if its been replaced and tbh, nikasil isn't that big a problem now.scott180gtb wrote:Will this suffer from the dreaded Nikasil problems?

Is that for someone to carry out the swap Pete.
I can wield the spanner. It looks like you can use the original box.

I'd like to see how they get around the detent spring issue. I have seen some interesting 'fixes'
Just buy a manual one , unless the SMG turd is MUCH cheaper , why bother ?
A converted car will always be a b4stard and worth less than an original manual car.

Not many good ones left jon.
RE SMG to manual, we have a convertible evo in for work thats had the conversion and its poo. Still got various brackets, spare loom plugs, a pissed gear lever and the instrument cluster is still SMG. (doesnt have an engine oil temp gauge like the manual cars)

Last time I looked on PH there was only circa 17-20 for sale. As a comparison there is normally 10 z3m coupes for sale.
Getting a good one would require 8k and be a risk for sure.

Barely any Z3M coupes made compared to E36 M3's to be fair.

I hear what you guys are saying about the SMG
This is over on the cutters site.
Its a 3 owner car. The chap who owns it is the third owner. Its the right colour combo for me.
http://forums.m3cutters.co.uk/showthread.php?t=85547
Its top end money. I have arranged to go and have a look Monday.
What do we think a sensible bid should be at.
Are the values of these going to creep up over time?
I'm looking for some summer fun that won't have my pants down when I get bored.

Looks ok but £6k. Add another 2 and you would have a vastly better E46 M3 with less miles.
Steves car is rarer, has less miles, has had more (expensive) work done and is £2k cheaper. No brainer imo.

18's. 255 at the rear and 235 front I think.
If I could space the rear out more i would be happy. But as you know the Hartges already have integral spacers built in. The wheel bolts are already long.
