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!
