Hello from Glasgow

[Andrew Logan]

Hello all, a quick introduction. I'm the owner of a '98 M roadster, which I have had under my ownership since about June 2014. The car has has been really well looked after and is living a life of relative luxury in my heated garage at present given the arctic conditions in Scotland at present! I've upgraded the brakes all round with new discs and pads, refurb'ed the alloys, replaced all the suspension on all 4 corners, fixed a leaky roof, fixed the seat bushes and also replaced the VANOS with a new VANOS unit. So, it's been a busy few years! The car performs really well now, is stable in cornering and under acceleration. My project for the last 6 months has been to source a replacement interior part where the switch buttons are for the hood, heated seats etc, as the plastic has broken. I'll probably start a new thread on that and hope someone can help once I explain it fully! Hope to hear from any other Z3 / M fans in Scotland or further afield!

Hi, welcome from Mansfield.

Sounds like you’ve been treating her right. Can’t wait to see some pics.

In terms of parts @spurs fan in a coupe might be able to help.

Thanks all - I'll get some pics up when I can. The car is presently under covers etc and SORN'd so it will be some photos from the summer - i.e. in Scotland, the one or two Sunny days we get up here!

I think the main instrument panel for the M is a bit different to the standard Z3, which makes it a complete pain to try and get replacement parts for! I've been going through my local main dealer, who have been in contact with BMW Germany, ordered the part, had a delivery date of the beginning of Nov, then failed to deliver! This was after the original order had been placed about April of this year!

Unfortunately not which makes them hard to source
