Hi, I just took ownership of a 1997 Z3 Roadster 1.9 with 269 000kms. It is in great condition for its age, and the previous owner provided a 2"stack of receipts, so I am not terribly worried about surprises. As you all probably know, this vehicle handles like a dream - and it actually is a dream car for my wife, who has promised to let me drive it every now and then! I've already come across a half dozen fantastic ideas and tips, so thanks for being the generous experts you all are.
