Hi All,

Been toying with the idea of a Z3/Z4/Boxster since the beginning of the year, and my decision was made when this 2.8 came up at a great price and I couldn't resist.

Needs a little tidying here and here but nothing major. I'm in Bath. Anyone else nearby?

Welcome on the forum @Storm.
You are better off uploading photos direct to the forum by the way.
Looks like Photobucket has just booted you off.

Yes looks like they've just switched to a Paid Service (only $399 - I don't think so), and hadn't noticed until I posted the link! Now switched to Imgur!!

Thanks Bonzo. Miles are high (156k) hence why she was a good price. Drives spot on though apart from a little tramlining which I'm looking into!

Mods - Not many. It obviously has the 18" inch MV2 style alloys and some recaro style seats (see pic below). Centre console has also been carbon wrapped. I think it's standard apart from that!

Would be worth changing all the fluids unless paper evidence shows they have been changed recently. Also springs, shocks, bushes and hoses may well be long past their best. Use the search button for 'tramlining' to get the gen on this. Also ask away here re any advice or technical help. Also google BMW VIN number to get the build spec of your Z3

Welcome.

are the wheels on the wrong axles?

if they are MV2 wheels they should be staggered and from that picture it looks like the narrower ones are on the back and the wider ones on the front?
