97 Z3 new guy

[pilsberry]

Hello all,
Just picked up a green 97 Z3 1.9. Bone stock.
It’s very clean And fun to drive. Even though automatic, using sport mode (3 on shifter) provides plenty of around town speed for a 1.9L.
Already fixed both seat bushings as well as vertical function.
Secondary air pump needed some gentle tapping to get “thawed out”. Took care of check engine light. Car hasn’t been driven much lately. Will attempt to clear airbag light if I can locate right diagnostic tool.
im very familiar with the e36 series. Swapped an S52 and 6speed into 318. Also had 95M3.
Looking forward to learning more tricks here.
Bryan

from a fellow 1.9 auto ('98 European spec). Slight differences to yours. Sports mode selected from slider switch. Airbag light can be a pain but easily reset with INPA or similar.
