Hello folks,

I just picked up a 2002 Z3 2.5 auto. The car had been treated pretty badly (I think some teenager may have gotten their hands on it and began 'building a race car' based on some of the creative repairs I have seen... I was there once, so I cant look down too harshly on this =)

I got the car for a song because it was a non runner when I got it (someone replaced a timing chain or head gasket and setup the timing incorrectly). The car has great compression and since I set the timing correctly it runs like a top! It does have some other electrical drama I plan to search the forum for clues on (or if I cannot find one, start one), but in the meantime I wanted to say thanks for adding me! I have had several E46's and one 1997 Z3 in the past, but will certainly be looking for help still.

thanks!
Jim

Yes its in the right place, just add USA after Boston, we have the original Boston here in the UK which might confuse members.
