Z3 Coupe content
-
I am back in business! After letting the e21 go and acquiring a Ducati in its place, it was time to let the Ducati go for something I really wanted.
Say hello to my new to me 1999 Z3 Coupe! Comfortably parked along with the touring.

Can't wait to see it at Blackhawk!

What kind of dinan goodies does it have?
So far the only Dinan goody is a Dinan stage 2 tune. Otherwise it has a Supersprint exhaust and AFE intake.

What motor? Love the color, Florida car is gonna be nice too
It has the M52TUB28 in it. The color is definitely growing on me too. And yes, so clean underneath!

Such a neat car. I would for sure own a Z3 if I was not as tall as I am.
Is it Montreal Blue?
that sounds about right from the glance I took at the paint code sticker under hood.

Looks great Dave. All this time I was expecting a bass boat, silly me

First job on the car is replacing/rebuilding the ABS module. Previous owner used to be a tech at BMW of Minnetonka before working for Tesla. He had it all checked out and concluded that the ABS module was the culprit.
(4) torx head screws and prying the clip off the electrical connector is all it takes.
Anybody have a known good used ABS module laying around they want to sell?

In case yoy can't find one.

That helps, thanks. @B C tried his hand at fixing mine today for the hell of it. Worth a shot. I will be throwing it back in tomorrow to see if it worked.

Well, @B C did it again! He took it apart, resoldered some failed solder joints on circuit board and siliconed it all back together. Threw it in today and ABS light is off. Thanks again! Now onto the airbag light...

Hey @B C, why won’t you do this for me on a days notice? Kind of disrespectful. You only live on the other side of the state, not like it’s that much of a drive.
Bassboy got my prison sentence reduced back in the day when we were affiliated with gangs. I still owe him a few favors.

I recall the time @B C (baking coordinator) had me drop off turbo parts for ceramic coating and I swear he did them within 24 hours.
Nothing better than covert turbo operations in a subway parking lot. -
Both of us had today off so we did a seats-out interior detail, cleaned the carpets good and vacuumed some broken glass from some previous shattered window, then a wash, clay bar, buff and wax.
The paint was pretty dry from the Florida sun. I am not an expert with a buffer. Kaiser and his gf appear to be much better skilled with a buffer, but at least there is a little less oxidation and a little more moisture and depth in the paint.
