| Z3 (E36/7, E36/8) (1996 - 2002) In 1996 BMW added the Z3 to the lineup. First available only with the 1.9 liter engine, the Z3 went on to carry every 6 cylinder produced between 1996 and 2002. A fun, sporty little 2 seater came both in convertible and coupe form. Being a bit of a “parts bin” car, the Z3 is part E30, part E36, but all original. |

New here, from Montreal Cnd
I have acquired myself an 1999 M Coupe from Florida, flying down to go get it & driving back up.
This car is so rare in either engine format that I am lucky that I got an M. Worst thing about this. I cant remember the last time I saw one in the flesh. Except for today while going to get my hair cut downtown. I saw one on the bridge, a 3.0i with Mass. plates hauling a little trailer with his track wheels. My guess he was heading either to the Mirabel track or the one at Mt.Tremblant. To end this story that car has a great ass...no pictures can do it justice than to see it live in 3D & soon I will my own great ass looking Coupe Cheers

Unless a local parts store like NAPA has that product of the shelf. Or that I can find a Z3 Bra locally before leaving.

Just be careful when you take it off. I'd recommend a water rinse to get the tape off easier. Then give the car a good wash and wax to clear up the adhesive.
Congrats on the purchase! I think we have one of the best groups of enthusiasts on here.

I went through the Detroit border because their customs is open on weekends. I told the guy that we were in the states for over 48 hours so we didn't have to pay tax on $400 because of me and my passenger. The highways in Detroit are unbelievably bad though. If I had any problems with my subframe the streets of Detroit would of just ripped it out.  The car is quite comfortable for such a long ride. So enjoy it!

that'll be a great trip to start your memories of the car with!
if you're not going to be passing through for homecoming, maybe take a detour through spartanburg, SC and tour the plant! They're going to stop Z4 production sometime this month, and move it overseas for good.
