Hi all, I'm new to bimmers and just bought a 2001 z3 3.0i. It needs some tlc and some repairs. I may be bugging you all for guidance once I have the basics down. I REALLY enjoy driving this machine!

Welcome to the Forum, you have arrived at probably the best Z Forum for information and help for your Z3 or Z4 model.
Its also worth adding your location in on your user details so it appears in the left hand side of your posts or add it in as part of a signature together with the model of your car so you get answers to questions you post that are pertinant to your particular model.
Also very worthwhile to arm yourself with a decent code reader to scan your car when faults crop up. You can either go down the laptop based software such as BMW INPA or a handheld scanner like a Creator 310+ which is a good choice but not so good for models before 1999.
All available on ebay and Amazon for little outlay, they pay for themselves first time you have to use them when faults appear.

Hi @hfny1978Zboomer welcome from me too near Lincoln, UK. Going on the reg. number and your forum name I’m guessing you’re from the New York area? As Colin says there is a wealth of info on here for the asking.

I do live in a small town where NY, VT, and the MA borders meet. My mother in law was from the UK.
Hi, and welcome from me in Cardiff. 
Thanks for the nudge...just hadn't crossed mind to get that deep.
