I am the second owner and I have owned the car for a little over two years. The car was purchased with exactly 46,240 miles.
It has been garage kept for the entire time I have owned it and as received a considerable amount of upgrades. I have kept detailed records of all the upgrades and maintenance since I have owned it.
the following upgrades are:
-New OEM front suspension, Right and Left—Front Control Arm & Ball joint assembly, Control Arm Bushings, Stablizer/Sway bar links, Tie rod assembly.
- New OEM Sybesma Electromics rear view mirror. (Unfortunately, as with most BMW's rear view mirrors, they tend to leak the fluid that dims when night driving; mine was no exception) BMW warranties these for life and it was replaced the moment I purchased it.
- Ireland engineering rear camber and caster kit
- Ireland engineering sub-frame and trail arm bushing upgrade
- Bilstien sport shocks, front & rear
- H&R Springs (red)
- Rogue engineering rear shock mounts
- Rouge engineering tranny mounts
- UUC clutch stop
- Clutch master kevlar clutch (Originally I upgraded to a sprung-hub clutch and light flywheel by Gripforce—Great power!—but the rattling, typical of this set-up, was simply obnoxious.) Clutch master was installed about 2 months ago. Major improvement. Great engagement, smooth and powerful. This clutch will last 70-85k miles.
- Clutch master Steel Flywheel
- BMW OEM Transmission pin kit installed. These cars suffer from hard engagements on 1, 5 and reverese. this one did not, so I had it done as a precautionary measure.
- New pilot bearing and Drive Shaft Flex Join. the previous owner lived in Chicago. Although it has VERY low miles, the cold weather is unforgiving.
- BMW OEM value gasket replaced
- New Bosch spark plugs
- Bosch Fuel Filter
- Spot stop Slotted and drilled rotors; Front & Back
- EBC green stuff pads
- Stainless steel Braking lines, wrapped in Red coating- Really cool!
- Blue brake fluid — I've flushed the braking system twice since I've owned it.
- Whalen Seat bushings
- Z3roadter roof cover— I bought it to protect the top from the elements when i took the car out for a ride. It also helps keep the car cool in the dreadful Miami heat.
- Stone Gaurds
- ///M floor Mats
- Car came with the Original Convertible cover
- Clifford G5 Alarm system
- 19" Beyern Rapps. wrapped in Falken 452. Great ride!
- Bavarian Soundwerks speaker upgrade and iPod Aux connection.
The car runs very strong! Mechanically, it's in excellent condition.—Its fast, reliable and a real head turner.
Quick note: I've collected these cars for years. I've owned 4 since 2000. Currently I drive a Z3m Estoril Blue, coupe. The reason I am selling it is quite simple, I don't need two cars. This was my weekend and summer driver. I've enjoyed her and now it's time to send her off to a good home.
I am a serious owner who cares very much for these cars. I expect anyone interested to be as serious owning it as I have been. Please serious buyers only. This car is priced just right for a quick sale.
Feel free to write to me if you have any questions.
