In my youth I was a motorcycle racer, road and motocross (66-71), graduated University and joined the US Navy and earned my wings in ‘74 and flew A-6E aircraft. After retiring taught physics, sailed the Chesapeake Bay, and finally really retired 2014!

Just purchased a ‘98 Z3 w/2.8. The brakes were terrible and that is the first project nearly completed. Next will be the struts and shocks as the car has 139,000 miles on original dampers. Finally there will be a complete cooling system revamp including a fan delete.

Car came with a new top and new leather seats!

Hi and welcome from me near Lincoln UK. Hoping to get up to VA one day from our base in Kissimmee,FL. Sounds like you're having the common Z3 ailments and are correcting them as you go. Enjoy your Z and the forum.:)

Tony.

Hi @Dinoburb, :welcome: to the forum from me too, across the pond in Staffordshire, UK.

Help! How do I add an image to my signature? What’s the secret handshake?
Go to 'Your Account' by clicking on your user name at the top of the page then 'Edit Signature' and upload a photo there;)
