Hello from Australia

[AussieZ3]

I recently purchased a 1997 Z3 Roadster, 1.9 litre M44 engine with odometer reading 110,000km. The car has had two previous owners and I have just completed a full service including engine, gearbox, differential oil change and coolant change. I am in the process of getting to know the Z3 model and will be in touch with other members of the forum in the near future.

Welcome @AussieZ3

Just shout if you have any questions, they are a lovely bunch once you get used to them

Cheers, Gary

HI Aussie, great to see another aussie in the club. I joined about 10 days ago and have enjoyed every minute. I pick up my Zed on wednesday, a 2001 2.2i with 99,000 k and 5 speed auto steptronic. I live in tasmania.

Welcome from me too.

Welcome! You've certainly got the weather to enjoy your car.

I suspect heated seats aren't a priority option in Aus!

Big welcome from me, I see your already an M44 Massive member!

Welcome from New Jersey. Glad to have you with us. Got a '96 myself. Please believe me, it wasn't a warning when Gary said "they are a lovely bunch once you get used to them". We say that about Gary.(just joking). You'll get all the info you need here and a lot of laughs to go with it . They really are a great bunch of guys. Frankie

Hi mate and a big welcome from here in Lincoln, England. This is a great forum with loads of accurate info and just a small amount of banter.

 

[Mint]

from me too. You've found a great place for info and banter. Enjoy your Zed and post some piccies when you have some.

Welcome Ozzz
Whereabouts in the great down under are you?

 

[AussieZ3]

Thanks everyone for the great welcome!! To answer some of the questions, I live in Sydney and the car does not have heating elements on seats. The photo shown on the Avatar is my Z3 and I will post more pictures soon. I will certainly need some advice and also some spare parts that are difficult to source here in Australia. I own two other cars, 30 years and 15 years both maintained by me. Once again thanks for welcoming me to the group.

A big Canadian welcome from me. You've landed in the right forum especially for someone not familiar with the Z3. Look forward to your pics and comments, JIM

Here is a photograph of my car; It's mostly original except a set of Eibach springs fitted by the previous owner which has slightly lowered the car.

Hi Aussie, welcome from Bonzo and Zelda. Nice pic. Well, the sun has gone over the yard arm so I'll crack open a tinny on your behalf!

All the best cobber!

 

[Cooper]

That is a sweet ride Aussie. Well done getting your hands on her.

Hi and a veeeery belated welcome to you! You may or may not have gathered by now but I live in the same town as Cooper in Tassie, but, I've had mine longer (just!) haha. Nice to see another great Auslander on the forum!

Welcome from New Jersey.

 

[AussieZ3]

Thanks to Flux, David and Frankie for the welcome. Flux, I knew that you and Cooper are from the same town in Tassie but both of you live across the pond from me. May be I will meet you both when I visit Tassie!!

Is that something like a '73 Pontiac Grand Am parked on the other side of you?
