Hi all.

Just a couple of words on introduction. Have recently taken early retirement and as you do, have purchased a Z3 2.8 automatic, couple of pictures atttached, they are a little flattering, also came with a hardtop.

Runs, has an MOT, stalls (from reading the forum fuel filter change should solve this), has now developed leaking front strut (new ones on order). Numerous other issues too long to mention now.

That's it. Will post more as I complete jobs, or need help!

Cheers.

Michael

Thank you, yes looks nice, closer up paint has issues, usual door mirror rust (cannot even twist them), split rims need a lot of work, interior needs some work .... Live in East Sussex. Z4 owner?

Yes, mines a 3.0i E85. I started with a 2.0 Z3 Auto in Oxford Green. I found this car 3 years ago with 16,500 miles on and figured it would last me out.

Hi @Mike J, to the forum from me too in Staffordshire. Lovely looking blue Zed.

I like blue so I'm biased

Hello Mike welcome to the forum. I have both 2.8 auto and 2.8 manual, both very different cars but I have a soft spot for my auto. We've had a few "moments" over the last few years
