Hello from Scotland

[CB1]

Hello all, picked up my Z3 2.8 with 164000 miles on it yesterday and am absolutely loving it. Little tatty round the edges but nothing major, finished in blue with 17” wheels.

I’m a complete novice in the Z3 game and only slightly past noob mechanically but I’m handy with a socket set.

Plan is to keep the car OEM with only minor tweaks planned, stuff like a strut brace etc. First on the to do list are replace all exterior seals, tidy the roof up, throttle body clean and replace the cable and sleeve and strip the interior for a full deep clean.

I’ll post up pics tomorrow before I start tearing the interior apart, and document progress. I’m sure I’ll have a million questions soon, but glad to be on board with Z3 ownership.

Welcome from Rochdale enjoy the fun.

First quick question, how does everyone go about tracking down part numbers? RealOEM doesn't appear to have the Z3 listed? Looking for a supplier and part number of the throttle cable and sleeve.

Edit, I'm an idiot and had current rather than classic selected...
