M44 hate=( How do you like z4's?

Personally not a fan of early Z4 interior although again Z4M's I can deal with that. Late model Z4 Sdrive35i's are a blast.

You couldn't pay me to drive a base trim Z3. Complete shitbox. That's all I can contribute to this discussion. Facts are facts.

That's just a random picture off google. I'm sure it's just a plain old convertible.

I would love to buy that and try my hand at some body work. Too many projects not enough time/room.

was this car kept in Milwaukee?

[wasnt m3]

Ran a carfax, sold new in Burlington, WI in 93. Stayed in WI until 2002, then moved to IL up until now.

If someone buys this, I'll buy the headlights and front pumper from it.

Or swap my halogen headlights plus cash.

If it is unlocked, couldn't you switch the ews, ignition cylinder, and locks from another car?

[Bassboy3313]

Or have a locksmith make new keys for it if all the locks and ignition work fine.

[wasnt m3]

Or just buy the key from BMW...but if you want to try the hard way lol. Also, if it were locked, they wouldn't know the mileage.

[straight6pwr]

i was gonna say, you can use the VIN for new BMW keys. but BMW won't give you a key until you own it, so you'll have to winch the thing onto a flatbed some how since its probably in gear/park brake on.

Wouldn't they need keys to turn the car on to see the mileage on the speedometer since it is digital?

[Bassboy3313]

Not familiar with this car, bit some digital odometers turn on when the door is ajar. Not needing the key to see mileage.

No.

[reckedhim]

Maybe the person they seized it from was nice enough to tell them the mileage?
