Bump with price reduction.

and calipers painted black again ;-0

[NLW73]

reduced price again as she needs to go sadly.

out of space and some building work to do before xmas.

[HGoward]

Surprised this hasn't sold, it looks so good, and well looked after.

[NLW73]

HGoward thanks for the comments

I guess it's the market , the cost of living crisis and getting to winter. plus they are a rare car and quite an acquired taste. E46 M3s are much easier to shift and more in demand.

am sure it will go. I will probably put it in storage come november as I wont use and no point in taxing it.

few viewings this weekend so you never know. and a sunny day on Saturday too.

[d2olf]

Can you send me more photos of the engine work etc

[NLW73]

Sent you a pm

Advert on pistonheads has more pics

so a weekend of time wasters....

please don't come if you:

a. have a car to sell and defo don't turn up in a 3 litre Z only to see what the difference with an M is. it's an M car so it's special and very difference to general munich stuff!!

b. if you are not sure what car you want next....a Z4MC is rare and unique. if you think you might want a 911 or even a M5 then the difference is a LOT!!

c. you have nothing else to do at the weekend bar kick tyres. ruins it for future buyers who are genuine.

d. if you have kids and think you can get them in. get a 4 door for christ's sake!! E90 M3 v8 maybe??

I thank thee.

Oooh now that's a cool 2 car garage (I assume there's more than 2 cars to be quite honest though!) I'd absolutely adore a v10 M5 touring!

Well done on the sale chap, hope you hang about!

[NLW73]

Thanks.

He has a very nice collection

[Zedebee]

Well done on the sale mate, I’m not enjoying seeing decent cars hanging around.

Good to know you got there in the end Nick, and that it has gone to an enthusiast.
