Why would you?

Dead easy to remove and strip the instruments in a Z3. So I wouldn't use the stickers they always look "tacky".

Why would you?

Why would you buy a Japanese import? Or why would you convert the dash? Which do you mean? Or perhaps both.

 

[HST]

I mean when there are plenty of cars based and registered in the uk, that don't require any work..why would you bother? Jap cars also have their speeds limited..you would also need that doing.

 

[mrscalex]

Can’t think I’ve ever seen any UK car in the sort of condition a high grade Japanese car usually arrives in. Some of them literally look new underneath.

Have you seen underside pictures before?

 

[HST]

Yep I get that...but, you do know that a lot of the Jap market cars didn't get the same weather protection from the factory? Not sure if this applies to BMWs but its certainly true of other makes.

Check all the rubber and hoses, as I’ve heard a lot of people who buy imports have to spend a fair bit on engines that have a rough idle or low power performance.
