Introducing the DutchSpace Z3 Coupe 2.8

[DutchSpace]

Hi there,
It's Boston green, 2.8 M52 (M50 intake manifold) and has been mine for a little over 7 years now. We are going to grow old together!
Just bought a house with 2 garages so I can keep it really tidy (it already slept under a roof but not 1 door away from my living room
Recently installed E39 steering wheel controls which operate a genuine Professional RDS head unit. I am converting the original E30-aged cruise control unit to an E39 unit to also be able to use the cc buttons.
In time, I consider installing an M3 SMG gearbox.
Main theme is to upgrade using genuine BMW parts and turn it into my own unique cool Coup'
Cheers from the Netherlands!

Hi, welcome from Mansfield - UK.

Nice looking Zed

Funnily enough I’m just in the process of retrofitting an E39 multifunction steering wheel also. Currently sorting out the audio buttons, and then was looking for info on how to get the Cruise Control buttons working. Any information on this conversion would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @DutchSpace, to the forum from me too in Staffordshire, UK.

 

[DutchSpace]

It's a b#tch to sort out but I will finish it. It might a take while however. First, I have to get the "new" house sorted. It's old (1880) and will need a lot of work. The "boss" probably won't let me prioritize the Z over the house.
I won't forget. Otherwise, remind me in 2 months!

Thanks for the invitation! Its just not really my thing I must admit however.
My main focus is the car itself and the various little projects I perform on it.
Ps: I was born in Limboland ;-)
