I've bought my replacement Zed

It's a 1998 2.8 Roadster, one of the last M52 engine versions as it was built in August 98.
It has only done 48000 miles, has a hardtop and although it has been stood for 3 years the engine runs well and it just needs a bit of TLC.

I can't decide whether to upgrade it as I did with my last one or, because of the low mileage, keep it standard - suggestions welcome.

The fun has started

Excellent. I'd do what you want but keep the original parts to revert if need be for originality. Where did you come across it? Much needed for mot?

It was on Facebook late one night, I was the first to reply! It needs new tyres but other than that it looks good to go.

Upgrade...
Its more fun than just cleaning and waxing a 20 year old car that no one else is that bothered with it being a bog standard Z3.
On the money pal, after all I am stictly an OEM man myself.
