Got a 2001 1.9 !! in good condition for her age . 79000 .

Since the Z3 first come out I've thought it to be one of the most beautiful cars on the road. My first two seater in 30 years!

She handles well except for a bit of tram-lining accompanied by brake shudder.But I'll sort that , thanks to the enthusiastic and constructive members on here who've had the same problems and assisted others.

Off now to do some reading on how to change wishbone bushes etc. Can't drive the Z3 .... the wife's doing that ....
