Well I've now got an outdoor tap at home, that's a bonus, so I washed the cars today. I gave it a good going over and actually cleaned and protected the hood, which is something I'd planned on doing it since I got it :lol: http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p177/maximilianwettern/Z3/IMG00017-2010051...

Not much of an update held a mini-meet at mine the other day for some mates from e36coupe. Mostly it was to nudge them into helping me put the intake plenum back on the M3, but I let Daz and Steve out in the Z today, it looked funny! :lol: http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p177/maximilianwettern/Z3...

You know there's nothing BMW about the BMW cars, bar the name...?

Well done Lewis, unlucky Seb but to be honest after the first race of last season when he took a proper BMW car out and then limped around with three wheels crying into his team radio I've not really liked him.

Gotta say, unless you want to keep the service book fully stamped up, that the M52 is one of the easiest engines to service in history. I'm sure there'll be a guide on here or somewhere on the net (Google!), but if you need any help with what to do just ask. Can't help with the garage, but good luck...

Most BM boxes are "sealed for life", take that as you will. I've had the oil changed on mine before, I got the fluids from BMW and had a specialist did it, as it's not something I'd really fancy doing myself :)

Off the top of my head I wouldn't of thought so as at the very least the spring rates would be wrong.

If I remember correctly the Z3 has e30 rear suspension, and pretty much e36 front.

Personally I'd want springs tuned for the right car, so I'd stick with what was intended for my car :)
