  • Performance BMW Z3M Coupe - STOLEN - Please help

    Hey everyone,
    It’s Joel from Performance BMW magazine. Last night my 2000 Estoril blue Z3M Coupe, REG W702 SKJ was stolen from outside my house. The thieves broke in through the back, ransacked the place then made off with the M, as well as other sets of keys while I slept upstairs. The car was taken from Edgware, North London.
    Now guys I know you all have your ear to the ground, especially on the BMW front so I just wanted to ask for some help. I need you all to keep an eye out for the car, or more likely the parts we’ve added appearing anywhere (Listed below). I’m sure the thief didn’t realise the car was from a magazine, so I’m hoping someone somewhere may recognise it parked up or have seen it being driven about. I know I’m being hopeful but that car was very important to me, so I’m trying everything I can and being positive.
    Thank you guys for your help, if you hear anything at all please email me or give me a call. jnewman@unity-media.com – 01732 748 000.
    Whoever can help me find it will be rewarded, I promise…
    Joel

      Absolutely gutted for you, as although it was a 'company project' car i was led to believe that you had really taken to the little blue coupe!
      Never got to speak to you at Bimmerflex but did see your car being valeted(mine was the black modified mc).

      I have a lot of contacts in the motor trade so will spread the word.

      Fingers crossed for you fella!!!!!

        Sounds like the same people that tried to take mine and resultantly took another forum members car when they eventually got round to breaking into the garage to find my engine sat on the floor.

        Really had hoped that they had been caught by now though

        Gutted for you mate and I have my fingers crossed that you get it back in one piece. I think the other estoril that was stolen was found intact in a multi-storey car park, one of the guys was caught too....probably got rewarded with a free trip to spain or something.

          Thank you everyone. Although the car is run in the mag it is a private car, and yes, I have grown more than a little fond of her : ( Can't imagine driving and enjoying anything else nearly as much.

          @Chippy thanks for helping mate, your car is very special. I know it well and love it.

          If you could all just keep your eyes peeled, especially on the auction sites because if the car doesn't turn up, then the parts will. It's a pretty tight circle of MC owners so I'm hoping this gives me a better chance of seeing her again.

          Fingers crossed
          Joel

                  the car thiefs tend to park stolen cars up in carparks for a few days just incase they are fitted with a tracking device, if the police dont retrieve the car then theres a good chance they cant be tracked! hope they find this car!!!

                    Sorry to hear this joel, everyone on this forums worst nightmare. Hope you find it intact.

                    I'll keep my ear to the ground over in Ireland to see if anything ends up over here. I'll mention it on a few of the irish sites as well.

                    Chin up fella.....

                        Hi Joel,

                        Sprry to hear the bad news mate, quite worrying to hear as you only live up the road from me!

                        I will keep an eye out and pass the word around to keep an eye out for it.

                        Cheers

                          update

                          AS per Joel email

                          Hi Euan
                          Good news. The car in Yorkshire is not my car. My Z3M Coupe was flashed by a speed camera this morning on the Barnet way/A1 at 5.50 am (05/11/09) in Edgware with the original plates. The car is still in tact.

                          Please post this on the z3 forum if you can as i am away from the office.
                          I'm hoping this is a very good start
