My names Dennis, im a retired machinist, but i still have a small shop on my property, comes in handy for making BMW parts on a Sunday morning at 2:00 AM....
I havent driven a BMW in 20+ years, I i was helping a friend move when he was driving my truck, and i followed him back to his new house, I fell in love with the way the 325i handled, It had good acceleration...I never got around to getting one until a year ago and it was overheating on day one.. I didnt know about the "BMW anti-freeze and distilled water only", or "resistance is futile" commandment from God.
The expanding tank, and the mounting bracket both came apart at the glued joints.lol...The factory glue turned into a whitish slime????.lesson learned...

Thanks to all that welcomed me to this impressive "meeting of the minds". I am a greenhorn at BMW'S , I am very enthusiastic, and its got me a obsessed enough to buy a 2000 z, m-sport, and a 325i M-SPORT, and I will share anything I learned about BMW in my travels,that I believe should be of value to some of experienced BMW Z Series owners /members, and be compliant with the board rules...
