    First shoot with the new coupe

    Well it wasnt really much of a shoot, more or less my buddy had his camera, my car was clean, and we happened to be going down a decent road.

    This is it, the car ive been waiting for. 99 Z3 Coupe. I love it already and have only had it on the road for a week.

    Quick background on the deal i got;

    -Oil has been changed with mobil1 synthethics religiously.

    -At 100k miles here is what was done: spark plugs, all rotors/pads stainless steel brake lines, brake flush, tie rod ends, m3 ball joints, alignment, new tires.


    -At 90k miles: uuc pulleys and changed the serpentine belt


    -At 84k miles: subframe reinforcement from Mr. M CAR, thermostat, waterpump, coolant flush, subframe bushings, rear diff swapped to a
    Korman 3.46 diff with 50% LSD, also new bushings for that, trans mounts, engine mounts, trans fluid change, diff fluid change, changed out door handle seals and rear trunk seals and rear wiper delete, m5 clutch, m3 pressure plate, lightweight flywheel, new flywheel bearing, new throwout bearing, new guibo.

    -At 75k miles: suspension with bilstein sport, rouge engineering rear shock mounts, rear wheel spacers, Magnaflow exhaust, Computer software upgrade.
    I also was given a bra for the front. Two new foglights, the BMW Z3 Bentley, several keys and fobs and the owners manual, M pedals, e brake handle, and AC Schnitzer shift knob.
    Paid 8,800 (car had just over 100k)

    Now onto the pictures:

    Beautiful car, love the lows. Needs wider wheels though (but love the styling of the current ones).

    Thanks for all the positive feedback...I want wider wheels, I didn't even really like these but they've grown on me some since buying the car.
