Hi All,

Recently just bought a Z3 Roadster 2.2 on a whim as a summer toy for me and the girlfriend and fallen in love with it, so much fun to drive!

Managed to find a Y Reg (2001) with only 57,000 miles on the clock, went up to view; body work and alloys all in immaculate condition, and using my limited mechanical knowledge checked everything thing i could. I was happy enough so parted with the cash on the spot!

Since buying have had to replace both track rod ends and needs a new rear screen. Other than that all seems good! (fingers crossed)

Thought i'd join as i've been reading a few helpful posts on maintaining and fixing my Z3, and hopefully become part of the Z3 community. Any tips and advice more than welcome!

Hello @Tom W and welcome from just down the A31 Nr Winchester. You have found yourself a great little Z3 too. I hope you will join a few of us in the New Forest on Sunday 10th May, if you wish, let me know and I will send you all the details, you will also find the information on the forum under forthcoming events I think. @GazHyde will help you with all that stuff I am sure.

Any problems with your girl, drop myself a line or any of the others on here as we are all nuts when it comes to the little Z3.. Apart from a few Z4 owners.. who we won't mention too much..

Wow thanks all for the positive and welcoming comments!

I've just checked with work and unfortunately working the 10th but I'll make sure of attending the next.

I'm sure I'll be posting some issue that needs fixing soon enough! Rear screen soon to be ordered!
