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.
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.
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.
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 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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 !!!
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
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.
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.
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! 👍💯
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.
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 👍
Just got rid of my Z4 and Mike at the Zed Shed is a Z forum legend. For what he does, he's very cheap and there isn't much he doesn't know! So glad Matt included that bit of the video, amazing advertising for him
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 .
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.
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).
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
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 🍻.
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.
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 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 ??
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!
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
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.👍👍👍
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!
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"!!!
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.
Zed Shed...Fixing the car live with commentary about diagnosis whilst being filmed. Ian Tyrrell has a brother from another mother. It's so so good watching an EXPERT perform effortlessly. Thanks, High Peak Autos. 🎄🎅✨
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.
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.
Britain's cheapest Citroen Ami as Matt's daily driver for a week. Come on High Peak make it happen I want to see his pain. Also Matt the specialist part was BRILLIANT.
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.
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 ....
Absolutely love specialist's. The amount they know is amazing and they can save you money and keep your cheap old car on the road. Well done for highlighting the zed shed and showing Mike's diagnosis.
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.
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

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’d love to do more of this it’s just a bit more time consuming
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
It was SO worth it, brilliant move Matt.@@HighPeakAutos
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.

@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.
Good job showing the guy doing the roof fixes, gives an extra value to your videos
Thanks 👍
Gorgeous car!
I loved seeing the zed shed segment. More of this please!!
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
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…
That BMW guy is first class, wish all mechanics were like him.
Thanks!
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.

Thanks!

Liking extra content at the z shed
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.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really enjoyed watching the roof fault diagnostics. Great to see the skills and experience of the people and businesses that you use.
Thanks 👍
I get you buy boring 2000s hatchbacks too, but this right here is the type of content we like to see!
Good to see you show the work in the background. Would love to see more like this :)
I loved the way you were nodding knowledgably when Mike from The Zed Shed was explaining what he was doing.
👍
Really enjoyed this one,specially when you were at The Z Shed,
Mike certainly knows his stuff on Beemers.
Proper old school, Sunday morning blast, sports car. No fuss, no gadgets, just you, the car and the road ahead.
How great is it that we got see the work shop and an expert at work?!
Could watch experts like this do their thang, all day long. 🙌
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

I have one. And yes an amazing little car….it’s a pity we can’t attach a photo

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:
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.

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 😂
Z shed are the heros in this one. Almost makes you want one to get them on the case.
Have owned a '98 Z3 for 9 years. Very reliable wee car apart from some bodywork issues. Glad to see another one saved 😊
great to that guy he knew his old BMW's u should do wheeler dealer type videos matt
Love to see a little bit of the work getting done like this. Greetings from Sweden.
Thanks 👍
The input with Mike from the Zshed was a good addition the video
Thankyou
The interaction with the mechanic is great viewing matt. Love your channel.

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
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! 👍💯
Glad you enjoyed!
So much nicer from the front than any modern BMW
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.
Jeez, there are specialists left in the world, encouraging and heart warming!

My 99 Saab 9-3 cabriolet had fully electric roof-and it had a proper glass rear screen! I miss Saab! 😢
I always appreciate the witty narrative and humour Matt 😊👌
Mike is a Zed car legend, I live 4 hours away and still take my car to him for some stuff!
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 🍻.
Matt, yet another one I should not have sold ! (Manual roof, perfect leather). Well done.
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.
Love these guys at Z Shed . They are such great guys who know what’s needed 👍🏼
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!
Mike knows his stuff. The car is now well sorted and with a low usage as a classic will last for many years.
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 ??
34:39 cheeky wheel spin
Love these especially a 2.8 or 3.0
Shame they didn't do a V8 but a 6 will do!
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!
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.
Mike is the man, love people who know their cars, in and out
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
Putting the radio on always cures rattles!
Love a bit of fault finding ...it's a skill that's fading fast ... 👍
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.👍👍👍

FIRST !!!!
You arse.
nooooooooooooooooooooo wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy so cool
With BMWs current design choices the ones from the late 90s and 00s start looking better and better
Late 90's/00's were the best BMW era for me
awesome video, really enjoyed the bit at the Zed shed, felt like a mix of High peak Autos and Transformotion
Roof segment was really interesting, the car looks amazing now definitely a future classic 👌🏻

You can be proud you've saved a future classic, and someone will be well happy especially in spring, summer.
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.
We repair rather than replace wherever possible. Needed with the prices bmw charge for some parts..
Really nice looking motor. You know some brilliant specialists to bring these back to life, back to reality!

The 2.8 model was the best to have, as the Z3M is a bit too costly for a Sunday ragtop.
Thats a good price for a good condition Z3, at least who ever is buying it knows its been sorted put
