    My short lived e30 :( (lotso pics)

    So i got "Fritz" about 6 weeks ago and as much as I loved it and wanted to fix it up...i hated it and stressed out about having to work on it while living in an apartment and parking in the street......so i upgraded.
    Plus I think e30's look better in pictures than in real life.
    Before:




    After

    2002 Z3 3.0i 48k miles, fully loaded with sport package, new tires, brakes, timing belt, and tune up. Cali car in flawless condition, everything is clean and looks brand new, dont think its ever seen a carwash (no swirl scratches).

    Sometimes you just have to upgrade.

      Just kidding. I wouldn't mind a Z3 some day. Shame about the auto though.

              Haha....if i had a dollar every time i heard that one. I dont get it tho, its pretty masculine, and i dont think a chick could handle the 3.0

              It was ONLY $450


              Also just discovered that I am now the 2nd owner. Found an insurance card from 01' and a few service records with the owners (husband and wife) info all over them. Also glad to see that they paid for the replacement insurance on the tires...woohoo!

                  You got robbed. There is no timing belt on that car.

                      I hope you're kidding about the "timing belt."

                        Yeah I was extremely lucky to find this one. I had been looking at some 2.3 autos in the Washington/Oregon area but they just werent clicking with me. This past Thursday I was driving home and saw this out of the corner of my eye so i looked it up on the dealers website....it was perfect, and the color is amazing. In the past two days of having it I have gotten a ton of looks and comments, everybody loves it and overestimates the price. Its a fun ride, and def. worth the money, just make sure you get a 3.0.

                          Lol....yeah, re-checked the service record...it was an alternator belt and pulley (hides in shame). I didnt pay for it tho, it was the po who had it done.
