Hi, my wife has a lovely Boston green 1998 2.8 Z3. Our local garage used to look after it but now is unable to help. Can anyone please suggest a garage in the Bracknell, Berkshire UK area which has experience of looking after a Z3. thanks dvdv2020

TWG great although Will has retired for those of you not aware .... I use them for the Z3 and the E53. They are the only people I trust (so far) with the E53. I did go down to RBM but my experience wasn't that great as regards them phoning me back after I went all that way ..... I'm just down the road in Knaphill so welcome .. also Boston Green 2.8 so may see you around sometime ...

Many thanks for your reply and suggestion of TWG, Camberley. I'll give them a call and see what they can do. There are a few things that need attention: handbrake system which is at the limit of the "pull" so likely to fail its next MOT; very slow oil leak (around one drop per week) which looks like it's coming from the engine sump area; door sills rust in usual places; ABS dash light intermittently comes on/off; small surface scratches. And, of course, there's the things that we can't see!

Thanks for your suggestion. I'll give them a call too after I've spoken to TWG, Camberley.

Welcome to the forum from Bicester, Oxfordshire!

Mine is also a 1998 Boston Green 2.8, would be a perfect photoshoot!

Thanks for reaching out. I've seen a few silver ones, black ones, but so far no Boston green ones in Berkshire. My wife's car has a few surfaces scratches, and the usual door sill rust near the wheel arches, and a few other non-cosmetic issues that will need attention before too long. Hopefully, it will be fixable at a reasonable cost. All will be revealed when we get advice from RBM in Hook, and TWG in Camberley.
