Project Z3 rescue.

[nathankershaw]

I come from a motocross world in Britain & at the age of 44 realize that with my age (& American healthcare) I need to get a cage!

I want to see some track time & have recently developed a CoPart addiction!

So this 2001 Z3 3.0 manual transmission popped up.

I'll go see it on Monday and see how far the damage goes back.

Thank you Nathan, I'm heading your way soon to spend some time at our house in Fla. Member @FRANKIE bought a Z3M from your side of the country a couple of years ago and a guy from Wales came over and they drove it back to New Jersey where Frankie lives between them. If you get the 3.0 Z3 will it be your first one?

I'm definitely getting it. I have to pay for it and collect it on Monday or Tuesday.

Yeah It'll be my first one. First convertible as well.

I had a 93 325i which I loved.

Hello and welcome from Truro, Cornwall. Looks like your Zed has rear ended a high towbar may be ?
Good luck with the restoration. This is a great forum for help and inspiration

Unless you're prepared to have it put on a jig, viability will come down to chassis rail/inner wing damage. Looking at where the impact is you might just get away with that. It might just be new bonnet and slam panel in terms of major body parts.

Probably a pick up truck or SUV. If they have any kind of lift kit it hits sports cars high like this.
