Hi, my wife thinks I am going through a 'latter life crisis' and I am sure I will need help to prove her wrong!
I have recently purchased a 1999 2.8 Z3 from a friend who has owned the vehicle since 2002. The vehicle was originally supplied by our local BMW Dealer, Knights, in Newcastle-under-Lyme, so I am the third owner. The car has done 38800 miles from new. I have enough history to be sure the mileage is correct. There is not much of a service history, I am not surprised when the car has done under 2000 miles in the last 5 years. The car generally looks great but I now need to know just how good it really is and what it is going to cost to bring it up to a high standard.
I am retired and have been in the fortunate position to be able to buy new cars for more than 30 years. It is many years since I worked on a car so I am unlikely to start tackling any serious work myself. I am hoping that you will be able to help so that I can learn from your experience as I no doubt start spending on the car.
I have never been a member of a club like this before so please be patient with me as I find my way around the site. I will try and load a couple of photos shortly. Phil.

to the Forum from West Cumbria. Sounds great, nice mileage. Fire away as there is a vast array of tech experience available on here. Good luck.
