Where does the m23 come from? I think it could have been mine being delivered back to me!!!

Thats between 170 and 200 pounds!!!!!! I can't imagine that they will be so cheap in the UK!!!! I did just check on the US ebay though and there was ,some cheap gear on there compared to here...problem is they don't deliver here!! Rob

Cheers greg I'll take the mirrors tomorrow providing the car comes back working.....no guarantees with that thing!!! I'm keen to get good looking disks to go behind some nice rims but thanks for the pad advice I'll be needing them too!!!!! As for the suspension you suggested i do like my cars low...for cosmetic reasons not comfort!!! Are these adjustable height wise?

I know this has probably been covered a hundred and one times but new products may be available...who knows!! Anyway my ill fated zed :wack: is due to grace my prescence again tomorrow evening :dance: having had the tubs replaced and the engine 'tuned' and all the dodgy old pipes replaced for good measure!!! I'm looking for some good brakes to go under some 19" rims I'm eyeing up!!!! Not only must they do the job but I'm also looking for some good lookers with loads of grooves and drilled surface area!!! I don't want to spend an absolute fortune....although I probably will as usual. While I'm at it does anybody have...... Standard electric folding jap mirrors in black A suspension set up 19" rims going cheap.... regards Rob

What didi it look like apart from being black.....mine is in brighton at the moment!!

nice one! Always used to hate the kids at school who used to come up with these things!!!!

Just checked on autotrader....looks like you can find the odd one for £11k...gorgeous vehicles

Can you get an S15 for £10k?

oops almost opened the old C.O.W then :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

My old dad called to say he'd seen the car and pulled over to have a look see what improvements they'd got over mine!!!! He said it was a tidy one! Rob

changed my mind!

Well thats what I'm hoping no problems reported from the garage as yet so I'm really really hoping this is it.....I'm going to make this Zed one of the best on the forum if all is ok now.....lets wait and see!!

Cheers mate!! just picked up a can of fosters myself :duffer: having said that I'll need more fingers crossed than just yours if my appalling luck is to stop!!!!!!

As many of you will have read I've had no joy with my Zed since purchasing it over a year ago!!!! Indeed I have only covered about 500 miles in the bugger....ever!! Anyway the point is she's coming back home from Brighton having finished the filming and allegedly.....hold breath....she is fixed. Should be back on tuesday please all say a prayer to smooth running....at least for a while!! Happy for now... Rob

God it would be nice if you could get things so cheap eh?!!!! I think they need to come up with a better story ...on reflection there is nothing believable about a man or woman who takes a car abroad then suddenly decides they want to sell it in the UK weeks later!!!!

The latest reply: Hello, As i told you, i am from a short while here in Spain and i am not able to use Escrow because i don't know how it is working here. I have closed some deals through eBay untill now and everything went OK, so i would like to close this deal through eBay so we can be both protected. Yes i assure you that you won't have to pay any import taxes. Just the price for the car I'll explain you how it is working right now: 1. You have to make 20% downpayment to eBay, your money will be kept in hold 2. I'll start the shipping to you after they will confirm me that the downpayment has been made 3. You will recive the car within 7 days, after you will recive it you have 14 days to test/inspect it. 4. After inspection period you have to confirm to eBay if you are satisfied with the car. 5. If you are satisfied with the car and you want to keep it they will give me your money and you will send me the rest of money 6. If you are not satisfied with the car, you will send it back(taxes paid by me) and they will return your money because they will hold your money before you will confirm them your decision. I hope you understand that this is safest payment method. If you agree with that please e-mail me your full name and address and they will provide you with all the informations you need to make the downpayment. I am looking to hear from you soon. Thank you.

I've just recieved a reply to another enquiry on a different car...this one is in portugal too!!! Don't really get the part about it being hard to drive a RHD car in Europe.....why take it there then!!! I hope nobody ever falls for these scams. Surely driving a RHD car in Europe isn't as hard as having to sell your car for half price!!! Rob

Case solved you have all confirmed my thoughts!

Thats what I thought...its at least half market value!!! :rolleyes:

Not that I thought it wouldn,t be but sometimes....just sometimes you get a genuine one!!!!!!

Hello People, Now I know you weren't too keen on the M3 idea but I do value your opinions in general and wondered what you thought of the following response I received. Seems way to cheap...about half market value in fact and I couldn't understand why she took it to spain in the first place. Has anybody had any experience of this kind of thing...maybe its genuine? What kind of payment protection can I get? By the way it was advertised in the exchange and mart. Thanks Rob Hello, Thank you for your e-mail and being interested in my car because i really need to sell it ASAP ! First of all i would like to let you know why i am selling my car so cheap: one mounth ago i moved in Spain because of my job and now i live here with all my familly. The car has the steering wheel on the right side and nobody wants to buy it in Spain because all the cars has the steering wheel on left side here, so i need to sell it to UK because the car is still registered in UK and it's very easy to transfer the registration onto your name, without pay any import taxes or other taxes. Also i need money to buy another car certified in Spain with the steering wheel on left side so i can drive it here, really is not so easy to drive a car with the steering wheel on right side here. Some words about the car: Registered 13th June 2003 03 Reg - 46,151 Miles SMG II Sequential Gearbox Silver Grey / Black Hood Full BMW Service history inc 1200 mile service 9 Months BMW Manufacturers Warranty Inspection II service just completed 19" M3 CSL Original OEM Alloys worth over £2000 Heated Black Leather Electric Seats Facelift Model with LED Rear Lights (see below) DVD Sat/Nav Professional with Widescreen TV Bluetooth Phone Preparation Folding Mirrors Front Centre Armrest Harmon Kardon Hi-Fi Upgrade Hard Top Preparation MOT until June 2007 Taxed until End of November Service Book Stamps:- 7/5/03 - Pre-Delivery Check 01/07/2003 - 1,226 Miles - Running-in Check 19/01/2004 - 10,468 Miles - Oil Service 02/08/2004 - 19,647 Miles - Inspection 1 17/03/2005 - 31,381 Miles - Oil Service 08/06/2006 - 42,052 - Inspection II Also, Break Fluid Stamp on 18/03/2005 at 31,381 miles My car is fully specced and in a fantastic colour combination (Silver Grey is a CSL colour that came out in April 2003). It has an Official BMW Warranty until June 2007 that I purchased at the cost of £1050 only 3 months ago. I also took the car in for its costly inspection II service which cost over £700 in June. There is roughly 9,500 miles before the £140 oil service is due and then another 14,000 miles after that before another inspection 1. The Warranty also includes the well respected BMW Emergency Breakdown service which includes European cover if I'm not mistaken. The Warranty and BMW Breakdown are Fully Transferable with the car. The Car is protected with the Factory Category 1 alarm system as well as a Tracker Monitor system (transferable for a small admin charge and yearly subscription). Most insurance companies won't insure an M3 without a Tracker. Check yours first. I hope you'll agree that this car shouldn't cost you a penny until next June unlike most M3's being advertised. I have the original M3 19" Alloys stored in case you are not interested in paying extra for the CSL Alloys. I believe these wheels make this car something extra special but I am willing to sell the CSL alloys separately where they should fetch around £1500 with tyres. The price includes the ORIGINAL 19" Alloys. The Service schedule has been adhered to and the VERY IMPORTANT 1200 mile service was completed within the 400 mile window that BMW allow. Without this service stamped (or if its later than 1600 miles), BMW will refuse warranty work on the major engine and gearbox components of the car. CHECK EVERY SERVICE BOOK BEFORE PURCHASING YOUR M3. The price is 12,000.00 GBP including all the shipping taxes and inssurance to UK, the car will be shipped by AIR and will arrive within 7 days after the downpayment has been made. Now if you understood me and you are really interested to buy my car, i am waiting your e-mail with your decision and i will provide you with the informations about shipping/payment method. Best Regards !

So I will win then!! how do the smae stats for the zed look alongside the porsche ones? Oh it is just a 4s by the way although my director has a turbo on order due in march with the new anti lag tubs and a 0-60 of 3.7s!!!!!!! I think I had better race him in the dry though!!!! rob

How would a zed fare against a porsche carrera 4s...my boss has one and says he'll murder me in a straight line race. Obviously I'll have to wait until mine is back from filming but will I be able to make him eat his words? Rob

Excellent point.....mind you as long as they still fix the turbos I'm not bothered....I'd love my only problem to be a knackered door!!!!!!!! :D

Thats the chap!!!!
