Little update two years on from buying the 2.8 Z3.
After this post I bought and sold an E30 325i vert, before bringing the Zed back out of storage last September. Now have a matching hardtop and have just lowered the car by 30mm (Bilstein B4 + Eibach Pro), done all bushes and widened the rear track by 10mm. IMO she now sits perfectly and handles like a dream.
As is customary with me, I’m still addicted to car shopping and miss the M engine. Very nearly bought another Z3M Coupe two weeks ago but pulled out at the last minute. With the ULEZ heading my way next October, I’m now thinking of keeping the Z3 tucked up in the garage for future very occasional use and purchasing a Z4 coupe for my non-family car duties.
Anyway here are some pics of the Z3. Just had an oil service and flew through it latest MOT.

Cheers Tom and hope all is well with you. Manchester trips are scarce at the moment, but when things return to near normal again I’ll drop you a line if I ever get up there again.
