I'm a new guy !!!

[Paul H Johnson]

Hi everyone, First started my love affair with BMW's back in 1979, when I got a 1973 3.0 Si, manual, in red with a black velour interior !! It was a great car !! Then in 1986, changed to a 323i, manual, in white, with a black velour interior. I had that until 1993/4 & loved every minute of it !!!!! For reasons I can't recall, so please forgive me, I had 2 Volvo's !!!!!! Then a series of company cars, until I retired in 2018, so no need for any extra toys !!! In 2012, my daughter brought a 1998 Z3 2.8 that needed some work & like all dads of daughters, yours truly was tasked with repairing it !!! Then in 2019, my daughter spotted a 1997 Z3, 2.8 auto, in black for sale !!!! When I saw it & drove it, I knew I had to buy it !!

Hi and from Bonzo and Z3lda. It's widely known that the 2.8 Z3 is the creme de la creme of the Z3 range ... But then I am biased.

Hey, I was born at St Helier Hospital in 1948 and lived in Sutton until I was 25. My chum and I did the electrics in Morden Park Swimming Baths. I could tell you a few stories about that build!! As teenager I got the tube to London from Morden every weekend to see a girlfriend. When I was 25 and married we moved to Woking, then Sussex and 7 years ago retired to Norfolk.
Lets see some pics of your Z3 and it's spec, please.
