Hi, My Z3 3.2 1998 has been sitting up for too long and I’ve finaly got her out of her cover after a few years of the odd run and yearly visit to MOT garage!

Joined the forum to get some advice as unfortunately there are some niggles that need addressing but nice to me you all.

Main issues are:

3/4 fitted back window I’ve given up on so thinking of just getting a new hood
Someone keyd the side so need painting
Engine cover has paint peeled
Wheels need a refurb (currently black trim with polished inners and black spoke - polished bit has been weathered)
It needs a deep clean

Sounds as though your car really needs a good refurb all round. I had a Z3 ///M Coupe dropped in where I work this week for an M.O.T.. It has been neglected for a while going on what I was told this morning. These cars are, in my opinion, an all or nothing deal. If you can't give it the love it should have let someone else have it. It seems that you can't maintain these great cars on a budget, I don't think I could justify keeping one as it should be kept, I hope you can because they're really great cars. Good luck.:)

Tony.

I’ve had it 8 or so years just been busy last few so it’s been sitting up. It’s lucky it hasn’t been stripped out as it very nearly became a track car!
