1997 Z3 2.8 New to zroadster

Post by gransiesta »

Hi, My name is Juan, from La Coruna in the NorthWest of Spain. I have just purchased this Z3 2.8 and I am trying to bring it to a second live.
Till now I have done the following: New tires michelin pilot sport3 225/45/17 front and 245/40/17 after. BMW Inspecction II with new clutch and gear box repair, new belts, new brakes, all new fuids and filters, including gear box and diferential. You can see it in this video.

Next to do: Shock absorbers for the M Sport suspension (any sugestions are wellcome), repair-renew the lether seats, mostly in the driver seat, and I woul like to swap the center console with an M one with the three gauges, just to complete the M looking of the car.

Best regards.
Juan.

Thanks to all of you for the wellcome.

I am enjoing all the good information that we can find in the posts.

Soon I will be requesting some help about swaping the console of my 2.8 with the one of the //M. I already have seen two or three posts on this topic and I am learning a lot.

Best regards from Spain.
