Dear all, as is a tradition I guess on these forums, his a little about me.

New to Z3 ownership having only bought my first Z3M in February this year.

However, I am no stranger to M's in general, having owned my first E36 M3 in 2001, and since then I have owned (not at the same time) at least 18 x M3s, including 10 E36's, 5 E46s and 3 E92s. (and a Z4M Coupe for a short time too)

I'm heavily involved with the BMW Owners Club, and have been for some years, and was lucky enough to have my E36 M3 Imola Individual featured in the 25 years of M feature ran by BMW Car magazine back in the day.

I enjoy shows, and track days, haven take both my E46 and the Z4M around Anglesey Circuit, and Oulton Park, as well as many sprint days at Corobrough Sprint Circuit.

Petrolhead through and through, but still learning as I am no mechanic.

Since passing my test in 1990, yes getting old now, I have also owned some interesting cars, including a few MR2's, Celica GT4, EVO 6, 996 C4S,996 Targa,E39 535I Sport, Hawkeye Scooby WRX, Cilo RS200 and a DC5 Integra, but always come back to the BMW M's in some guise.

cheers.

J.

Cheers, I did wonder about cross over. I was recommended over here by the Z3Coupe Forum.

If anyone on here wants to see how I'm getting along on my build/refresh, links below.
