SHIPPING A PRISTINE BMW Z3 3,500 MILES!

[@danilonentertainment]

A tour of Bermuda sound great

[@oWR3CKL3Zzo]

A tour maybe, stuff living there.. telling me I can only have one car 😂

[@23gatesy]

I hear the triangle is nice this time of year

[@cindybetten7573]

If I were you, I’d book a cabin on the cargo ship and literally accompany it to NY and make sure no rif-raf happens. Then witness the transfer because any kind of “shit” can and will happen there! Yes, and then the final leg to Bermuda. I want to see it all! Does anyone else want to see the whole adventure?

[@chrisberg7009]

Most companies stopped bringing passengers onboard for cargo journeys during COVID and it's never really picked back up again, more hassle than it's worth it seems.

[@peterd4011]

I'm sure matt has a couple of weeks spare to spend in a cargo ship cabin without Internet (and cabins used to be expensive). The car will be in an enclosed container, nothing to see.

Great content 👍and great car. I have a 2001 Z3 2.2i sport in silver, I bought it as a mid life crisis back in 2008 from a certain Nick Ford at a place called Romiley garage! I still own it and it makes me smile every time I drive it.😁

Yes a Bermuda video tour sounds amazing 😊

[@HighPeakAutos]

Coming soon!

[@davooman1178]

Stunning little Z3. I've just put a deposit down on a 98 1.9 genuine 57k miles from new. Prices are rapidly rising on these classics, now is the time to buy one !

I bought my 2.0 in January, love it

Not hating but your financing a 8k car ? How are you not buying it out right??

[@miglia116]

​@@dannyjayke8695I guess it's a deposit to secure the car instead of financing

Had the privilege of a week in Bermuda with the Royal Navy. Loved it, and the Z3 is perfect for their roads.

Ah lovely

[@johnkeenan4184]

Ahh, Matt, Bermuda! Visited my sister there in 1992 . She worked there as an accountant. Flatts inlet, Mangrove Bay, Johnny Barnes R.I.P, on the Hamilton roundabout. Beautiful place.

[@GiantHaystack]

What a great new bit of content, hopefully there are 3 or 4 videos generated from this journey.

[@jprince176]

Great video! Can’t wait to see it get collected on the other side 😎

"No, Mr. Taxman. It was not a holiday. It was a work trip" 🙂 In the spirit of Liverpool .... "Calm down !". Sorry, I couldn't resist. Beautiful car. If you don't go to the Bahamas now, we'll all sulk

[@watchthis7620]

Looking forward to a Bermuda vid Matt. I stayed with a friend in Paget a few years ago, but fell off my hired moped after a rainstorm - it suddenly turned the roads into oil slicks! Be careful in that Z3! 😂😂😂

[@HighPeakAutos]

Oh dear. Yes you have to be careful. Paget was where I lived (and was born too)

[@andrewcairns7719]

Great video Matt, would be great to follow its journey 😎

[@BurtonOutdoors]

I've been to Bermuda many times, my mate worked there, so I visited a lot and used his spare room as a base. Just the perfect island, unless you get nicked for speeding every time you drive a scooter when you visit 😂

[@Jackley.32]

I enjoyed this video a lot. Particularly looking forward to Bermuda!

[@monikacorgi]

It makes such a huge difference when someone takes a proper care of their car regularly. I think it'd be your sunday car once you buy your house in Bermuda 👀 Have a nice weekend, Matt 🙂

[@harveytr7106]

I was completely underwhelmed by these when they were current but now, a quarter of a century later, I think they look like a fun and cheap weekend toy. It’s not always about being the fastest or flashiest.

[@HighPeakAutos]

I agree. It’s just classy. Like the old 507 BMW

[@stoker98]

One of your very best videos, Matt. Yes, please give us lots of Bermuda content. I cannot wait to see what you will produce!

[@HighPeakAutos]

Thanks! Will do!

[@cadizsummers3078]

I’ve bought a 2.8 Z3 for a bargain price, 96k fsh. I’ve changed the water pump and stat before any heating problems and put a new MOT on it and now drove it to southern Spain where I am getting it on Spanish plates etc. Best car for my retirement in the sun and only go up in value . Happy 👍👍👍👍👍

[@dominicedwards9117]

I look forward to seeing your Bermuda trip, I last went there some 40 years ago, my father lived and worked there before I was born and we very nearly moved there when I was a kid.

[@davegee7621]

Hello Matt, what a cracking little soft top... sure it will enjoy it’s new life in Bermuda especially if you’re there to hand it over AND we get to see it. Vicarious car tourism, like your road trips but more exotic on this occasion. Get a flight finder website on the case!! Another great content... loved the ‘pool’ subtitles 🤣

[@ironkcirb285]

Matt there one thing you totally forgot to do , a set of "high peak autos" number plates.

[@LucozadeClw]

It'll have a new registration soon anyway.

[@shauncampbell969]

Hello, I enjoyed your Ford ST, video. I drove a Ford Festiva, in Paris, France. I found the shifting difficult. Ok viewing your vids. Great, video, great cinematography, audio and great product knowledge. All the best, Shaun, of New York City 🗽

[@markfroggatt591]

Genuinely you going out to film everything would be amazing to see .hopefully you can make it happen. Really looking forward to watching it.

[@peterbloom8569]

Been to Bermuda a couple of times, absolutely love the place. Last time stayed at Cambridge beaches. Hired 2 scooters and buzzed round the island. Z3 would be perfect for the place. Now you have got us at it!! We might just go back.

[@HighPeakAutos]

Lovely, that’s where David Bowie lived

[@Lauren_B]

Matt, I bought a 2.0 z3 because of your last video you did on the black one, great fun wee car

[@dmc9487]

Somebody has to do it Matt. It will be great to follow its journey. An excellent example of. Once had a 1st date & the lady turned up in a blue Z3 & took me to a pub nr Preston. My one & only experience of a Z3. Looking forward to te follow up(s).

This is quality content. I can't wait for the next part. Bermuda looks stunning, I've owned one of these 1.9 140bhp Z3's in black. Lovely cars. So much fun. And like you said Matt what a perfect little sports car for a tropical island 👌

[@HighPeakAutos]

I will. I won’t let everyone down. Thanks 👍

[@peterbradley2216]

When we lived there my dad was a mechanic at the Esso garage opposite Port Royal Golf Course. He went to the port to pick up a brand new car for the man who owned the garage at the time which he'd just had imported. It was "too wide" due to the 1970's huge sticky out door handles. Luckily the car was collected, door handles changed and it was then OK. It was a bit posher than the Hillman Imp we had! LOL! Looking forward to seeing the island again on your future video.

[@HighPeakAutos]

That’s interesting

[@ianmacfarlaine]

Yes please to a road tour Matt. I lived in Bda for a coule of years and miss the place lots. Driving an NV200 van for work in the middle of the night down tiny roads....Please take a run diwn Valley road for me!
