Hi all, last year I turned 30 and I wanted to re-purchase a motorbike after previously selling one for an engagement ring. However, my now wife didn't agree with that strategy and I went for a 2 seat convertible that would fit my garage instead. BMW z3 was the primary choice due to it's straight 6 engine, good looks, overwhelming support and it being a James Bond car.
I bought my 2002 Z3 from a gent outside of London with only 36,000 on the clock. It has the M sport packaged so it has the nicer seats, aluminium trim and glow in the dark gear knob.
Since then I've done numerous fixes, pulled the full history of the car and kept it stock to maintain it's overall value. Apart from fitting a Bluetooth unit to the existing BMW CD43 player.
It's had the ABS module fault and since been replaced for £650, so now I enjoy traction control and ABS. The car is stored away for Christmas whilst I also retrofit Cruise Control and an OBC.
The plan is to enjoy it to the maximum for 6 dry-ish months out of the year whilst not throwing too many miles on it, after all it has 37,000 miles on it and is 15 years old!

From Wales, Ryan. Where are you based?
. Enjoy your Z3, they don't mind being taken out in the winter, honest!
