Dad, teacher, got over the mid-life crisis jokes and bought a 1980 Fiat Spider to keep in NH. It's dying, so I'm replacing it with a 2 owner, garage kept, 5 speed '97 Z3. Looking forward to driving it a lot in the summer and learning more about it along the way. Would welcome any experienced '97 owners' advice on things to look out for etc. Got great, honest mechanics, so not worried about long term care for the 5 mos. a year I'll be driving it.
