Late life crisis mobile owner

[STUC]

I bought a 2000 Z3 2.3 Roadster to satisfy a promise I made to myself after a life-saving liver transplant and then a cardiac arrest. I was 75, so it was late life. Since My heart stopped for 14 minutes, it could be called a crisis. That was 3 years ago and I'm doing great. The Z3 helped with my outlook on things. My wife and I like to cruise the backroads and see the countryside close up. Our Z3 has 107,000 miles on it, but looks new. I'm always looking for tips and how to videos. I'm mechanically inclined and spent 28 years in the USAF. I was in Missile Electronics Instrumentation and ran a technical course in Colorado for 4 years. I like to troubleshoot and fix things.

Hi, welcome to the forum from another late comer but to Z4s. Just like you, the wife and I like to amble around our area of Devon, England, stopping to look at a view and drink a coffee. So relaxing.

I've been to the UK and enjoyed the views in the countryside. We are getting ready to go "leaf peeping" along the Mississippi River to see the fall color display. It's still top down weather and the drive is worth the time. Here's last years picture.

Very nice. Yes we both top down all year unless it's heavy rain, it gets cold but that's what heaters are for and it feels nice and snug but with a cool head.

Howdy, I'm in close to the same boat as you, still coast guard aux though. This is my second 97 z3. You can not get out of one without a smile on your face. Changes your whole outlook on life.
