New Z3 Owner

[zelejel]

Hiya Folks,

I recently purchased a 2000 2.3 Z3 in sterling grey metallic. The car sat neglected for 4 years so I am finishing up a complete overhaul of all major components. The previous owner also did some questionable work so a lot of energy has been spent to restore this car to its former (stock) glory. So far it has been rather enjoyable but I am looking forward to cruising in this beaut of a car!

Any opinions on what the absolute worst job on this car is? In the moment, replacing the soft top was quite daunting but looking back it wasn't too bad in retrospect.

Cheers!

Top of my list for 'best' job. The bushes either end of the rear cross member can be interesting. They usually need doing on a 25 year old z3 (if they haven't been done before).

Few post on the forum about it.

The absolute worst job thats easy that is any job you do that goes horribly wrong ( broken bolt in wrong place for example) and attempt to repair seem to be making things worse rather than better till you finally get on the home straight for repair so yeah even what should be straight forward can go down this road .
