A new project arrives on the driveway:

It a real blast back to familiarity of the set ups of the E30's I used to work on, simple electrics and OBD, suspension set up etc

This is a friends car and the head has boiled- so over the next few weeks I will be transplanting a new M52 2.8 engine into it.

I cant wait-

Will keep you posted despite it not being Z4 content...

Absolutely love the colour Stuart. It looks in immaculate condition too. I had a silver one but it didn’t look a patch on that one. I did find mine was inclined to tramline even though the Z3s weren’t fitted with runflats. Hope the ‘transplant’ goes smoothly. :thumbsup:

There are some very steep streets in the centre of Lincoln. :thumbsup:
 
Is that Montreal Blue?
My old E36 coupe was that colour. Loved it but touching up stone chips and getting a good finish was a proper chew. :lol:

Definitely.
Used to get lots of positive comments on the colour and my good ladyfriend Laura liked it because it had a cavernous boot into which she could stuff all the necessary accoutrements a lady needs for a day out. :lol:
Most reliable car I've ever owned. Got 250k miles out of the old bruiser with no major issues before it was t-boned. Snif.

Moved on with this- its so interesting to see the similar DNA of the M52 to the M54 engine

Front off the Z3, ready this weekend to get the old lump out

New lump being fitted with decent bits off the old lump

Fun in the sun!
