Outside of the workshop, my favourite part of Wheeler Dealers was when MB would introduce a small business specialist - so I really enjoyed meeting Mike at The Zed Shed. There's something great about someone finding a niche market and building a business within it. I doubt there is anything Mike doesn't know about Z3/Z4's. More of that sort of content would be very welcome. Merry Christmas.
Great comment. I used to get my old spider serviced at a place in Canterbury called MOBITECH. Similar sort of deal to the Z shed - there was nothing he didn’t know about old Alfa Romeos. Great days
Absolutely Bob! friend of the family is a Jaguar specialist in Manchester of some fifty years, sadly he's not very well now, but seeing Mike in that video is exactly how I remember Steve in his workshop surrounded by ten or more Jaguars at a time, all varying ages and states of repair with near encyclopaedic Jaguar knowledge. Desperately trying to break away from my daily filming duties to shoot a mini doc of him before he's no longer capable.
@HighPeakAutos now someone else will now have a greater awareness of what might be wrong with their roof. Top stuff Matt, keep it up as I really enjoy the content.
It almost makes me want to buy a Z3, ONLY so that I can visit Mike !! Mike is a legend. Properly, decent, knowledgeable and friendly. You should do more videos, where we can see the mechanics & trademen, that you use.
What a cool and lucky little car, and nice to see the Z-shed. When Matt decided to throw in a roof, after previously saying that was not the plan, I instantly knew the budget would be blown out of the window.
Really enjoyed your slight departure from your norm. The mechanic input and whoever was getting in there with the camera was very interesting. Great to see you mixing it up a bit.
Absolutely superb. The best car show not on TV. The fixing the roof technical bit was great as well because unlike programmes like Wheeler Dealers it was all real and not made for TV. It's great to see a Car channel that's not trying to be Top Gear or Grand Tour.
Seeing you’re video make a me very happy. I bought myself a z3 in summer for £1300. I only spent £550 on it on a full service and a catalytic converter. So not bad 😊
The 3 liter in manual was an absolute peach of a car...I had one in the early 2000`s in South Africa, great around town, fun on little skirmishes at traffic lights and really really good on long drives across the country.
Of all the fixer upper videos you do, this for me was by far the best, it has a bit more of that Wheeler Dealer “technical” stuff in it. Love seeing the cottage industry getting involved at sensible rates looking after older cars. Brilliant, more like this 😎
This Z3 suits you really well, Matt. I think you should consider making it your Christmas present. These cars are likely to appreciate in value quickly, and you should find a suitable buyer in no time. No one manufactures cars like this anymore. And if I'm not mistaken, this is a 6-cylinder, which is a good specification. Excellent job on this one; it's a find of the year for me!
@@lash9400 As far as my knowledge goes, the BMW Z3 boasted a range of petrol engines across its model lineup: A 1.8-1.9 L M43/M44 inline-four powerplant, the inline-six category featured engines spanning from 2.0 L to 3.0 L, denoted as M52/M54, and 3.2 L S50/S52/S54 inline 6.
As Jeremy Clarkson observed, nobody lets you out of a side turning if you're driving a BMW...... Have to confess I don't let BMWs out of side turnings on principle.
The Z shed done you a favour. I thought you had bought a boat anchor 😂. You should keep this one Matt. Will only appreciate in value. Happy Xmas to you and your team
Lovely car,i think the styling of them is spot on. You have saved a future classic and although you may have "m.o.s" it should appreciate in value. Loved the coverage at Mike and the mechanics. Very interesting. Would be great to know what happens to the z3.
You know Matt effed up when he says something like this! Lol 😆 27:17 By the way, I enjoyed the extra bit of content with the guy explaining everything about fixing the roof! 👍💯
I love my 2.0 ‘00 Z3, been waiting for the day you get one in. Currently at 104K and I spent the summer treating rust under the sills, foggy lamps and replacing a corroded power steering pipe. Super easy to work on, even on a driveway and feels like a go kart, even with only 150 (minus 23 years) horse power. Mechanically sound after 7 years of ownership and looking forward to many more summers with it.
I love these cars . I feel a future if not an actual classic . The sweet spot is the 190hp 2.8l 6 cyl. The shooting break version is demanding very high prices . I would put up for £4,995 .
Always thought that if I had the means (and space) to buy future classics at their cheapest and store them for future profit, the z3 would be one of them.
These cars are real good fun drive very well, I’ve had two one a 2.8 roadster the other a 2.8 coupe the 2.8 has the wide body with bigger arches looks much better.👍👍👍
Lovely car, especially since it’s a 6 cylinder. Like you well said, this era of BMW’s were a cut above the rest back then. The competition was very poor, unlike today. Keep up the very informative content. Cheers from Malta 🍻.
I love these sort of specialists (like the Zed Shed) that work in a myriad of Industrial Units up and down the country, solving problems and keeping cars like this on the road.
I have the same car and love it. I paid £5000 for it but it is immaculate. Never charge the battery at the back, there is a charging point on the offside wing under the bonnet that protects the circuits from surges. Keep your eye on the temperature gaugh if it does not warm up it needs a thermostat (common fault) very easy and cheap to do and do the pump while your in there. Try BMW dealer for a key they are clearing old stock of these and did me one for £30. Keep the car values are going up. Cheers Peter
Interested to see that the Z3 was originally registered on the Isle of Wight - Hence the 'DL' numberplate. The supplying dealers (HGL) were Hunnyhill Garage Ltd who for many years held the BMW dealership for the island.
Really liked the section at the Zed Shed. Could you consider doing something similar with your mechanic perhaps? Considered purchasing one of these a few years back but was put off when my mate described them as a hairdressers' car!
A brilliant video. I loved the fact that you filmed the Zed Shed guys too. I would love it if you could do that more with your mechanics, Jimmy the Magician etc. Bravo for saving your Z3 - you should probably add it to your collection Matt. I doubt you will get another one, and not in such good condition (now).
4K for a fully sorted, proper old school roadster.... Bargain. Was great seeing the whole journey, including the car's visit to the Zed Shed. If I didn't have my (very pampered lol) GT86 I'd be very tempted. Keep these videos coming, we all love them 👍
Really enjoyed this video with the diagnostic on the z3 added a bit extra to the video be good to do this to more cars but only specific cars rare ones.
Nice addition to the video showing someone explaining the mechanical bits. Would be good to see a bit more of this and good advertising for those who’s services you use. You could also do a half hour video of you taking off and fitting new plates to show us how it’s done.
Yeah Mike at the Zed Shed was very helpful, you gave him a cracking advert. Just looked at it on ya website, thought you might have done a picture under the bonnet to make it even more saleable. Great pictures though.
I loved this video Matt you should include more of your associate trades people who help get you these motors back on the road. You must know locally all the best specialists by now around Cheshire even as far as Warrington. You certainly moved out of your comfort zone in this episode. Had to laugh when I saw you start adding subtitles when Mike started speaking which is a must soon as you get west of Chester Rd. God know whats gonna happen if you have to visit anyone in Sheffield eh ??
Great video. I sold many Z3s at BMW in the late 90’s, they made about £2k over list back then, as there was a 12 month waiting list. The black/black cloth spec, I use to upsell white lotus leather trim for the seats, door cards, handbrake and gear stick bag for £1,250, it really lifted the interior, better than the factory leather and gave it a nice smell too. The 2.8 model was the best to have, as the Z3M is a bit too costly for a Sunday ragtop.
I bet it's a harder job doing these clips with the servicing, but, man is it so much more interesting! I already love your channel, but I really appreciated the inside into the repair. Hope you have time for more! Cheers!
I did enjoy this video with the new format where we can see what needed to be done to put the car back on the road, so to speak; rather than 'as if by magic "voila"!!!
I do think the Z3 has aged really well (but I think the same about the Z4) and I can appreciate the softer suspension compared to other cars of the era; makes it reasonable on longer journeys. I find the interior feels more spacious than a Z4. It’s probably just the shaping and angle of the dash, in which case it’s credit to BMW. A friend recently bought a 2.0. She needed a new car but despite her best intentions she couldn’t help herself, she wanted something a bit special as well as practical for one person.
If you sit in a Z3 on a medium to long drive then go into a Z4, they are worlds apart. The Z3 feels special as a weekend car but it's nowhere near as nice as the Z4
Great to see some of the people who work behind the scenes to get your cars working again, would love to see the faces of those who clean & make those cars shine. Lovely video, big ups to the Zed Shed
Roofs have come a long way, you say, Matt? Well, your Nineties R129 magnificence needs....a press of a button. Thats it. No latch release. No 'helping along...' - just opens....great video though. Merry Christmas / Feliz Navidad!
For a low mileage 6 cylinder you did quite well. In Australia they're selling for over AU$10k these days in running order, which represents a AU$3000 profit on the costs you've outlined. I picked up a '98 1.9L last year in the same colour for AU$2500 + $650 shipping but it's a non-runner and has 309,000km on the clock. Even then, if I do the required work myself it will be a screaming bargain.
Another enjoyable video Matt, I think I should send you copies of the invoices I have from my local Saab specialist that I've paid to keep a 14yr old Saab 95 diesel on the road for the last 3 years! Now that is 'Massively over spending, 😢👍
One thing that spooks me is the tyres replaced - really ? - You get the Aerial, Lights, Roof etc etc... Replaced Do show the viewer the replacement otherwise they don't believe you!!!!!! ~ I do believe you.. just a bit more evidence and a lot less sofa cushions 😂🤣🎅🎄
Hi HPA, sorry High Peak Autos. Just a thought, how about a separate channel where your bro focuses on the preparation side? Wheeler Dealers...except for REAL.
ahahah just found this channel and been watching some content , then I realise you guys are from Stockport, I used to live in Manchester :) , then you take it to Zed shed in Warrington , I looked it up and its 10min from where I live ! ahahah small world hey !!!
Great video, have to agree with the comments of showing more of Mike & other similar specialist businesses. I hope from this Mike gets more referrals and customers!!
Seeing Mr. Parker in action at ZShed was an absolute Marvel. Cobwebs all cleared out of you wallet too! Nice job on a future classic. Needs a garage with a carpet and central heating now. Unfortunately I haven't got one, but if ....
The car looks great, I would buy it, but I don't have 4,000 because it's worth that all day long. If I were you I would keep it, but you probably have too many cars already 😂😂👍
Love seeing Z Shed do a real job of being a mechanic and stripping and repairing things instead of being new part fitters and just replacing - sadly becoming a lost skill.
Great video Matt Great to see the Zed saved .. and a 2.0 six not the hateful later 2.0 four Ace to see Mike on the channel, absolute genius when it comes to Zeds and my go to for anything on mine .. to the point that I bring it over from Ireland for him to work on it Top bloke 👍 Great video yet again
I think the guys at the Z Shed did you a big one there. Who puts Landsails on a car like that, I know its only a Z3 but its still a drivers car, why spoil it with ditch finders.
The inclusion of the visit to the Z-shed was a good idea. I have had a ride in the passenger side of a BMW Z3 and I felt about as uncomfortable as I have ever been in a car. Not something I would ever decide to buy but I can understand that some people like them.
Electric seats were standard on the Z3. 1999 V is the 'wide body' facelift and the introduction of the 1.8 (actually 1.9 litre) SOHC and the 2.0 six to replace the original 1.9 DOHC. Z3 sills are bolt on covers so aren't structural. DL is an Isle of Wight registration. Very often it's easier to remove a dead hood pump plus the hydro pipes and give it a distance test (see how far you can throw it) so it goes back to being a manual hood. FYI, a BMW dealer would have sold you a suitable battery for about £90 all in.
Don’t you just LOVE an expert who knows exactly what he’s doing and doesn’t talk bullshit?…long live the Zed Shed..🎉❤
hi mate where is the Zed Shed, ive a Z4 that BMW couldn't fix

Seeing that the video is over 30 minutes long....I'm guessing you're going to massively overspend.
Yeah its a lonnngggg one
Nice work though Matt, you’ve done that zed proud
😂😂
@@HighPeakAutosthat's what she said 😅
It is so good Matt.@@HighPeakAutos
Good job showing the guy doing the roof fixes, gives an extra value to your videos
Thanks 👍
It almost makes me want to buy a Z3, ONLY so that I can visit Mike !!
Mike is a legend. Properly, decent, knowledgeable and friendly. You should do more videos, where we can see the mechanics & trademen, that you use.
I think we should be introduced to your paint man, and also the upholsterers.
Just thinking the same…
Really good vid today matt ! was great to see an expert diagnose your car for you on screen
Thanks!
What a cool and lucky little car, and nice to see the Z-shed. When Matt decided to throw in a roof, after previously saying that was not the plan, I instantly knew the budget would be blown out of the window.

Really enjoyed watching the roof fault diagnostics. Great to see the skills and experience of the people and businesses that you use.

Are these 2 litre ones a 6 cylinder? I know the bigger engined ones are, wasn't sure about these smaller
I was wondering the same thing, I remember BMW had a 6 pot 2.3 L but not sure about the 2.0L
@@lash9400 As far as my knowledge goes, the BMW Z3 boasted a range of petrol engines across its model lineup:

Yep 6cyl. Engine compartment is full and exhausts are twin.
A cheap Beemer?🤔 Fantastic car to drive till It breaks down. Then you'll "massively overspend"💷💷.
The repairs / makeover you have done to that ageing Z3 has transformed the car. It’s another quality classic saved from the scrap man. Well done Matt
As Jeremy Clarkson observed, nobody lets you out of a side turning if you're driving a BMW...... Have to confess I don't let BMWs out of side turnings on principle.

The behind the scenes with the BMW specialist is great content, seeing how they diagnose and work
Nice to see a pro using ISTA rather than me muddling my way through the screens 😂
I love these sort of specialists (like the Zed Shed) that work in a myriad of Industrial Units up and down the country, solving problems and keeping cars like this on the road.
That roof is ridiculous, why bother making it electric when you've got to open it manual half way anyway. Should have been manual like an MX-5.
Have owned a '98 Z3 for 9 years. Very reliable wee car apart from some bodywork issues. Glad to see another one saved 😊
If the car continues to be looked after and kept away from rain, snow, salt etc. it will last well and 4k doesn't seem at all unreasonable.
I have the same car and love it. I paid £5000 for it but it is immaculate. Never charge the battery at the back, there is a charging point on the offside wing under the bonnet that protects the circuits from surges.

Splendid car with that inline six motor sound. I really believe you could upgrade the price since it is a (future) classic! Greetings from Belgium.
I loved this video Matt you should include more of your associate trades people who help get you these motors back on the road.

Roof segment was really interesting, the car looks amazing now definitely a future classic 👌🏻
The interaction with the mechanic is great viewing matt. Love your channel.
Great video. I sold many Z3s at BMW in the late 90’s, they made about £2k over list back then, as there was a 12 month waiting list. The black/black cloth spec, I use to upsell white lotus leather trim for the seats, door cards, handbrake and gear stick bag for £1,250, it really lifted the interior, better than the factory leather and gave it a nice smell too. The 2.8 model was the best to have, as the Z3M is a bit too costly for a Sunday ragtop.
I bet it's a harder job doing these clips with the servicing, but, man is it so much more interesting! I already love your channel, but I really appreciated the inside into the repair. Hope you have time for more! Cheers!
What a cracking lad the zed shed guy! more of this type of content. It's Gold!
Love these especially a 2.8 or 3.0
Shame they didn't do a V8 but a 6 will do!
I did enjoy this video with the new format where we can see what needed to be done to put the car back on the road, so to speak; rather than 'as if by magic "voila"!!!
Great to see you at Mike’s! He’s the man for Zs! I’ve taken my Z4M to him a fair few times!
It's one thing to own a hairdresser's car...but it's another thing to have a car that looks like a hairdryer. 😉
I do think the Z3 has aged really well (but I think the same about the Z4) and I can appreciate the softer suspension compared to other cars of the era; makes it reasonable on longer journeys. I find the interior feels more spacious than a Z4. It’s probably just the shaping and angle of the dash, in which case it’s credit to BMW.
A friend recently bought a 2.0. She needed a new car but despite her best intentions she couldn’t help herself, she wanted something a bit special as well as practical for one person.
If you sit in a Z3 on a medium to long drive then go into a Z4, they are worlds apart. The Z3 feels special as a weekend car but it's nowhere near as nice as the Z4
Oh Matt, it's a BMW Z3. Of course you massively overspent on it. The real intriguing part is.... by how much? Honestly, surprised it was *that* much.
Love a bit of fault finding ...it's a skill that's fading fast ... 👍
Matt, yet another one I should not have sold ! (Manual roof, perfect leather). Well done.
6 Cylinder. Naturally aspirated..
VERY interesting seeing how Mic and the mechanics trouble shoot the Z. Now a nice little car to drive around in the summer that the U.K never has.
Great to see some of the people who work behind the scenes to get your cars working again, would love to see the faces of those who clean & make those cars shine. Lovely video, big ups to the Zed Shed

I always appreciate the witty narrative and humour Matt 😊👌
For a low mileage 6 cylinder you did quite well. In Australia they're selling for over AU$10k these days in running order, which represents a AU$3000 profit on the costs you've outlined. I picked up a '98 1.9L last year in the same colour for AU$2500 + $650 shipping but it's a non-runner and has 309,000km on the clock. Even then, if I do the required work myself it will be a screaming bargain.
Mike is such an expert and you can see that!
Great video and work as always Matt! :D
He comes across as the sort of bloke who wants to fix the car, not the customer, up.

I think about Golden Eye 007 & Top Gear Middle East Special.
Great video, really enjoyed the mechanics fault finding footage.
Love the part where you show the car at the BMW specialist, you should do more bits like it with upcoming cars
Great video, as always ...the Zed-Shed part make it even better!!
The inclusion of the visit to the Z-shed was a good idea. I have had a ride in the passenger side of a BMW Z3 and I felt about as uncomfortable as I have ever been in a car. Not something I would ever decide to buy but I can understand that some people like them.
Love these guys at Z Shed . They are such great guys who know what’s needed 👍🏼
I wish I had that zed shed near me here in New Jersey, USA. I have a black 2.8 with a few dozen oil leaks
Electric seats were standard on the Z3. 1999 V is the 'wide body' facelift and the introduction of the 1.8 (actually 1.9 litre) SOHC and the 2.0 six to replace the original 1.9 DOHC. Z3 sills are bolt on covers so aren't structural. DL is an Isle of Wight registration. Very often it's easier to remove a dead hood pump plus the hydro pipes and give it a distance test (see how far you can throw it) so it goes back to being a manual hood. FYI, a BMW dealer would have sold you a suitable battery for about £90 all in.
People are real pigs. If you sell a car maybe you should clean it and vacuum it. People have no self esteem unfortunately 😢
2:00 "Perfect weather for buying a Z4 isnt it?" It might be, but that's a Z3 😉
