    Hello all.
    I will appologise in advance for this lengthy story.

    I was introduced to the ZM range five years ago when my son pulled up in his latest purchase, Estoril blue Z3M roadster.
    I was offered a test drive after saying I had better test it to make sure it was safe for him!
    Initial reaction was that it was a bit cramped in the cockpit but, that was soon forgotten after winding it up on our largely deserted back roads round here.
    I eventually brought it back to him with a large grin on my face.
    I was hooked!!!

    As I have had quite a few convertibles in the past I was immediately drawn to the Z3M roadster.
    I have had the Cosmos Z3M roadster for about 4 years now. This was purchased when prices were a lot less than what they are now.

    I started looking for a Z3M Coupe about 18 months ago with my limited budget but could not quite get my head round the value difference between the Roadster and the Coupe so did not really commit fully so just looked occasionally and kept muttering 'price has gone up again'

    Anyway.......I decided now is the time to do it.

    In order to do this I would have to have a bit of a clear out.
    Sold my Honda CB750.
    Sold my E36 M3 convertible
    Funds available so now time for serious looking.....

    Looked at the Pheonix Gold one at Target in Eindhoven but could not come to deal. After looking on the forum recently I found one for sale fairly near me.
    So, I have now Bought my 1998 Coupe, Estroril blue with blue black interior.
    Must go now as it needs a clean and polish.

    Bye for now

    Welcome to the M Coupe Forum, definitely been a good time to purchase the way prices are going. We need some pictures after you've finished polishing.

    Did you actually get to see Phoenix Gold one at Target in Eindhoven or was it just phone conversations. Seems that Target are not keen to shift on price, even Mike Brewer couldn't get any!

            Estoril Blue

            I bought the car from another member benny-g
            It is a 1998 S reg.
            The car has recently had some work done to her including a full respray and refurbished wheels as she had started to look a bit rough around the edges.
            I have got the before and after photos showing rusty sills, front wings and some other surface rust patches around the car.
            All in all she looks quite good but there is a few things that I need to see to, like, cleaning and detailing the engine bay, especially the engine covers and plenum chamber as the have got the dreaded ally corrosion.
            Also i need to get the leather recoloured as it has been done but is not the correct shade of blue.
            I could use some pointers with that!
