When was the last time you saw a “well fitted” BMW Z3? It’s certainly been a few months for us. As a matter of fact the last time we saw one it happened to be out Europe, just like this one. Actually the only Z3 we can think of here in the states is the one that Fluid MotorUnion out of Illinois built about a year or so ago. But let’s focus back on Ziyaads ride before we get carried away. It’s our second feature of the year & first ever Z3 and we are very excited to share it with you! Ziyaad previous ride (VW MKIV) is what brought him closer into the car scene where he really started personalizing it and meeting other fellow car enthusiasts. It wasn’t until he was given an opportunity to blog for a local site (LowLifeUK) that he really got into the “fitment” scene.

Ziyaad did a great job keeping the exterior clean and simple regardless of all the changes and additions. Up front he added a small yet effective front splitter along with “black kidney grills”, tow hook and smoked side markers. He also all red tail lights with yellow fog lenses which we love very much. Take a look at the photo below though! It features a quick release deep dish suede Steering wheel and a freaking fuel filler nozzle gear shifter. You gotta love creativity and uniqueness! Let us know what you think of the gear shifter in the comment box below.
That brings us to what attracted us to this Z3 the most. The way it sits. Those beautiful wheels are made by a company called Image (HT 3 piece splits) sized at 17×8.5″ all around with 205/40/17 up front and 225/40/17 rears. Suspension wise it sits on Prosport coilovers with custom rear springs and stance solutions static+ kit on the front. It may not be throwing around sparks (though it probably still does on those UK roads) left and right but it sits just right in our opinion. Lastly Ziyaad added a K&N panel filter to the 2.8 Straight 6 M52 motor and a Longlife custom cat-back exhaust system. As always, make sure you hit the Read More link below for more photos!
“Future plans on this awesome Z3 include a few interior changes, new sound install and improvement of the rear fitment.” Big shout out to Jason Easton for hooking us up with these awesome photos as well as Ziyaad for allowing us to share his beautiful ride with our fans. Make sure you hit us up at snfeatures@gmail.com if you’ve got well fitted ride!

The gear lever is funny. As a joke. Looks out of the place in that othervice cool Beemer.

I think the shifter is pretty bad ass, hey I have a aluminum heiniken bottle as my shifter
Hah.
love the car the shifter looks ugly AF though is it a gas pump nossle?? looks uncomfortable to shift with
the car is super clean and i love them very nice performers. the gear lever is quite retarded for a performance aspect. but it looks like it is probably just slipped over the threads. but anyway to each their own as i always say.
that gas nozzles huge. not tall. its just huge. but im kinda feelin it. haha
Respect n love the car except for the freak in retarded gas nozzle for a shifter! Not call creativity but stupidity. To each their own.

how the hell does the get a petrol thinngy for a gear stick?!!

What. The. Fuck.
I like everything about it but the gear stick haha.
If the fuller handle operated the clutch, THEN it would be cool.
My dad used to have the gas nozzle as a shifter in his rat rod it was pretty sick, I’ve been wanting to put it in my r32 lol. I’ve seen acouple other dudes do it I like it.
step above a miata, but far from an s2000
this car is sweet, he goes to one of our local meets.
@owen felty WTF lol how is this far from a s2000 ? … well yeah maybe behind it haha . why is it that s2000 owners think their in a class of their own or next to ferrari ,GTR,M5,etc etc dude its a really really nice car but its still a HONDA and theirs nothing wrong with that ! hondas a great car dude geez
@WOW – because why? because Top Gear Season 3 Ep. 2 Z3>Boxster>S2000 proven by the Stig.

——-s2k owners ballinggggggggg lmfao.)—————-
this is a cool z3! there is one out of canada (either toronto or quebec area) its a black convertable, bagged on schmidts th-lines.
That would be a Z4. :)
nice car :)
Ya the guy with the z4 lives in Hamilton, Ontario around the block from me. Sexy sexy car. This z3 is also the inspiration for what I want to do with mine.
@Bojangles said it before I could but the only way I could rock that shifter is in a rat rod. Its just to big for that small of a cockpit but like others are sayin too “to each his own”The cars stance is sick though
Is that 17″…seriously look alot bigger…awesome ride
