Default M Z3 info please

Hi,

I'm looking at a M Z3 -1998 but have no idea what to be wary of or what
issues may be of concern with this car.

VIN: LC87432
Body Type: Cabriolet
Exterior Colour: Blue
Interior Colour: Estoril Blue leather
Transmission: Manual
Stock#: DB1658

There are no additional
options installed.

Kilometres: 48,801
Price: $35,800 Canadian (About $29,100 US).


Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

PS-I've already done extensive web searches for information. Now I'm looking
for the good stuff - newsgroup scuttlebutt.

Thanks

It is either an M coupe or M Roadster. I see this one is an M-roadster (from
the VIN).

Here's a good web site if you have not already seen it:
http://www.mz3.net/

The problems with these cars will (obviously?) be the same as 98 M3
(engine-wise) and 98 Z3 (chassis wise).

Great car. It's what I really wanted when I got my 2.8L Z3, but could not
locate "the right one".

Thanks for the info. It is a roadster. What do you think of the price?

Seems a bit high, but you would have to compare to what they are getting for
them in your area.

I think the price is HIGH. But if you pay it, that make my 34k mile 2000 M
worth even more, right? My car does not have any problems to date. But I
care for it and do all BMW service and still change fluids, by time not
mileage. Oil is by mileage or 2 times a year no matter what. The only part
that I have come loose is the driver air vent near the windshield. Must not
have gotten much adhesive at the factory. The M had heated seats and elect
top control and different interior.

Now as for changes. I now have the car BMW should be proud to call a M. H&
Sport Springs, Ground Control Koni Shocks, BMP upgrade sway bar and
bushings, Cold air filter like Dinan, and a Chip. Your car will be soft in
the rear when pushed.

But get in it a drive it with the top down and you may not stand a change of
not buying the car.

Good Luck,

Al Floer
