Hello from Oregon

[hellrot96]

Hello!

1996 Hellrot Z3 1.9 5spd here. First time BMW owner. Coming from the classic Saab/Volvo world, this car is an absolute blast. I picked it up in Northern Idaho and I'm told it's originally from Salem, OR. Sooner or later I'll have to run a Carfax.

According to the VIN, production date was April 30th, 1996. As far as options, it’s got nothing but air conditioning, cruise control and a LSD. Unfortunately I snapped the air con bracket while replacing the belt. So no air for now..

Here's some shots from a recent trip to central Oregon as well as down the Columbia Gorge to Mt. Adams (for some reason I never take photos of the front of the car). Within the next year I want to head on a trip across Nevada, maybe to Vegas or somewhere into Arizona. We'll see....

Good to meet you all!
- Christian

Hi Christian and welcome from me near Lincoln UK. We were intending heading out west from our home in Kissimmee FL. this spring until this Covid 19 spoiled everyone’s plans. Hope you get to make that run sooner rather than later.

Tony.
