My first ever Z (in my name) and it's a 3!
Looks better in the photos than it is TBH. Low mileage.
The M54 3 litre engine does sound extremely nice though!

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Superb

I was surprised how different the m54 engine sounds in a z3…

It’s a completely different animal

You will see and hear it soon enough Stuart! :D

Got a DSC fault showing, which the seller swears was not there when it went on the transporter. Any clues......and no I haven't got a code reader yet!

Yeah I had DSc issues- my simple code reader and Carly struggled because some systems are run off the obd plug and some from the 12 pin in the engine bay

I used inpa with an adapter it cleared mine and never came back

You need to invest in one of these- expensive but my god invaluable

The code wasn't on when it went on the transporter because he reset just before :rofl:

My advice, get a code reader :thumbsup:
