Hi all,

I'm picking up a great 2002 2.2 Z3 this coming Saturday. Has a great spec, including heated, electric seats, 25% locking LSD, Harmon/Kardon HiFi, amongst other things (huge list, actually!)

Won't be my first BMW, I also have a 2010 e92 M3 and a 2011 e82 120d, and have owned an e46 M3 and e87 120d in the past, too. However, I've had an itch for a convertible for a long time and these are looking so right with their retro looks right now.

Hi and welcome, looks like you have a very nice 2.2 sport, as it has the sports seats and appears to be lowered, so may well have the msport suspension pack on it, enjoy! :welcome:

Welcome fellow 2.2 Sport owner :welcome:,

She looks in great condition and full of toys :)

Looking at the side on shot, it looks like its standard Sport suspension. I will dig out a side on shot of mine when I'm next on my PC to compare ;)

That Agean Blue of yours looks really good.

I have to admit I'm not entirely new to top down motoring, having owned an MX-5 1.8is (NB) about 10 years ago. Well, it was the now ex-wife's. Did have some fun in that, but this is a much more grown up car.

Welcome, lovely looking car you have there, love the colour. Another tell tale of the sport spec is the brushed aluminium centre console. are your wheels 16"?

Picked the car up yesterday. Drove 140 miles in some of the worst rain this year, not one drop in the cabin, so very pleased. :)

Got a dry day today so going to re-proof the top with Autoglym Fabric hood treatment.
