Hi all, I bought my z3 in march so have being running it a few months, done a few thousand miles, its now got 151k on it and still going strong. For a thousand pound motor I am very happy.. to date my work on the car, all carried out by myself includes:
Boot floor chopped, reinforced and much welding done inside ( a couple of popped spots were inside when I bought it but it had already being reinforced underneath at some point)
Powerflex diff bush
Powerflex eccentric rear bushes for control arm
New control arms
New track rods ( inner and outer)
New anti roll bar droplinks
New handbrake cables
New handbrake shoes
New backing plates rear
6 tyres later : )
Made a strut brace for front end
Cd player with mic and b.t
Alternator reconditioned ( paid for that )
Yellow tint headlights ( full beam only)
Black kidney grills
Relocated sticker number plare for front.
Back box delete with custom stainless pipe with twin tip ( sounds epic )

In time I want to delete abs and asc however doing so makes the car cut out at 5k, does anybody know how to solve this? I imagine a remap but every remap place just says pay and find out, any help would be appreciated. I will upload pics asap, I have wheel spacers and a splitter in the post aswell : )

Thankyou all for your response, it's nice to hear. I have been holding back uploading photos until my spacers and splitter came, spacers have landed so will fit tomorrow, it's a shame I haven't taken more pics through out but here's one I got today, I also got two fallen tyres fitted for free today as a favour from a friend on the back that are 235/40/17 instead of 225/45/17. They replaced camber worn budgets so anythings better. It's starting to take shape now : )

These are mine. Staggered. Standard wheels just refurbed and painted. Love them.
I also love the number plate removal the z3 looks so much better without, I'm just deciding where is best to mount it

If you want to relocate your number plate to one side, I have a brand new kit that I brought home from Fla. and never used mate, yours for £15, can put it in my boot for Sunday?
