first Z3

[Patrick Taylor]

Hi all,
I ma Patrick Taylor based in Cheshire and have just bought my first Z3 as a project for the next few years. My car is a metallic light blue 2000 2.0i six cylinder and in great condition for it's age with only 76k on the dial so really looking forward to getting into bringing the lady back to original spec and condition.

If anybody has a similar vehicle and would like to offer ant friendly advice or tips on the car I iwluld be eternally grateful. Looking forward to meeting some fellow owners when the opportunity arises and again if there is a run out in my area please let me know

Best regards

Pat

I live in Whitehaven, PM me when you're up to see if the Planets align. Generally bullet proof TBF. Bushes, shocks, springs, tyres are all worth a look, if your Zed tramlines it could be any one of those. Electrics are good but the loom of doom in the boot has a habit of breaking down over time.

Hi and from Surrey, I second what Andy has said, as the mileage builds up supension could do with a refresh also the cooling system. With good maintenance they go on for ever.
