99 Z3 2.8 Roadster Convertible

[jfinley]

If all goes well, will take possession of a 1999 Z3 2.8 Roadster hellrot w/ 61k miles. Went through a checklist and marked off many "possible" issues. The car was garage kept and serviced meticulously. It sat for the most part of 7 years with periodic oil changes and trip around the block. I know this because it was my neighbor's. Always admired from afar. Since their passing 2 years ago, sat in the garage.

Just wanted to say hi!

Hi, That sounds nice, my first Z3 was a 2.8. I'm guessing from your introduction that you're in the USA so welcome from Derby,UK.

Purchased the car! Yes, US based here.

Spent a couple days top down, driving at night, .First convertible - enjoyed it very much. Wife more so!

Currently in an import shop giving it a once over, fluids, brakes, etc. So late in year, disappointed it will be sitting in garage for a few months. Couple items that need work on which will be winter projects.

1 - Radio replacement (has code requirement). Would like to update with a carplay model if it fits properly - nothing "gaudy"
2 - Driver seat seat warmer does not appear to work
3 - airbag light showing but also "dim"
