    Another year has flown by! Just had MOT, no advisories so all good.

    Miles driven this year well down, now 225516 showing (just over 3.5K this year on the MC). Upside is costs are well under £1K (including tax and insurance).

    Must get her out more in 2016. (my only NY resolution!).
    S54 Titan Silver metallic. Black leather, most factory options including sunroof, Becker Cascade and Becker Silverstone changer.

      I gave my own Z3MC a bit of extra love last month.
      I've got about 57k miles on it now.

      £845 at the main dealer for:
      - Inspection 1 service
      - Replace driver's seat bushes
      - Replace chrome boot-lid handle

      CB
      98 S50 Cosmos Black/Black interior (previously 98 S50 Estoril Blue/2 tone blue interior)
      My band’s debut album Killer Diller by Drinking Bird Experiment is available on Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, Amazon, Google Play and all the usual other digital outlets.

        Another year has passed, passed MOT today, no issues or advisories.

        Bad news is have only done 2800 miles this year, I failed on last years resolution.

        Good news is total annual cost just over £2K (oil service/bonnet cables £446, tyre £143, sat nav update £169, arm rest £273, Tax/MOT/Insurance £580, petrol circa £600, misc bits £100).

        Roughly 90p per mile for driving a vehicle with "supercar" performance is a bargain in my mind. No depreciation now and, given seemingly increasing values, cost of ownership might even be "free".

        Happy days!

            Could you post a photo of the armrest sometime and tell me where you got it from?
            Cheers

                  Ian,thanks for the pictures - that looks great. And assuming the cup holder comes with it, it's just what I want. I'll drop them a line
                  Many thanks again

                    No worries, yep the armrest and cup holder bit is all included.

                    I have run a power socket in to the box below the armrest to power mobile etc. out of sight. I'm very please with it.

                      Sorry, one more question.
                      Does this attach to the centre console without damaging it? If so, How does it fix in place?
                      Just wondering about maintaining originality as well as getting an armrest and cup holder!
                      Thanks again

                        Uses existing mounting points so fully reversible, as is the additional power socket.

                          I found the cup holder section left marks on the leather console when I removed mine but fixes in a way that leaves no signs as Ian says. May be possible to add some material to the bottom of the plastic to stop any marking.
