hi all, new to this site but in need of some advice! Me and my dad are looking to get a z3 restoration/modification project. If anyone is able to advise us on things to look out for or best model, year or spec to go for it will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Dan

That's a big question. And the answer is subjective too.

I'd find the cheapest car, with the biggest engine in the best condition.

You could take a look at this sort of thing (although it's done big miles).

I've got nothing against 1.9s but be careful there. You'll plough the same money into doing that up as a bigger engined car. And you are unlikely to see it all back when you sell it. You stand a fighting chance of getting your money back out with a bigger engined car.
