Hi All,

Recently just bought a Z3 Roadster 2.2 on a whim as a summer toy for me and the girlfriend and fallen in love with it, so much fun to drive!

Managed to find a Y Reg (2001) with only 57,000 miles on the clock, went up to view; body work and alloys all in immaculate condition, and using my limited mechanical knowledge checked everything thing i could. I was happy enough so parted with the cash on the spot!

Since buying have had to replace both track rod ends and needs a new rear screen. Other than that all seems good! (fingers crossed)

Thought i'd join as i've been reading a few helpful posts on maintaining and fixing my Z3, and hopefully become part of the Z3 community. Any tips and advice more than welcome!

Hello @Tom W and welcome from just down the A31 Nr Winchester. You have found yourself a great little Z3 too. I hope you will join a few of us in the New Forest on Sunday 10th May, if you wish, let me know and I will send you all the details, you will also find the information on the forum under forthcoming events I think. @GazHyde will help you with all that stuff I am sure.

Any problems with your girl, drop myself a line or any of the others on here as we are all nuts when it comes to the little Z3.. Apart from a few Z4 owners.. who we won't mention too much..

Wow thanks all for the positive and welcoming comments!

Hey, looks like a nice find and probably the best wheels (BBS42) that were ever designed for the Z
