        Yup, got it in Yucaipa on the way from Phoenix to L.A. Wife drove the Sequoia the rest of the way. We drove it all over L.A. all weekend & trailered it home Sunday.

        M50 intake and install kit are here, new radio is in. Minor mods to come.

            Its a 97/98 Z3 with the M52. Its the right one. You will love it... the M50 intake and a tune will be a nice upgrade. Add S52 Cams and you will have a proper fast car on your hands.

            My buddy who bought the Dinan Supercharged one added a matched set of rears to square up the stance, got some used Z3-M suspension and is in love right now

            BTW Do you have a 3D printer?

            also, I moved this to the members' rides section

              M50manifold.com full kit just came, manifold Monday. I'm in search of the best suspension for the street.

              Took longer to activate XM than make the harness & install the radio.

              Nope, no 3D printer, what do I need to print?

              Sorry, I figured it's not an e30 so put it in there.

              Thanks!

                  head over to bimmerforums and see if theres anything used there for a good price. A friend runs S3 Suspension and was ready to make me custom coilovers for ~$1000 IIRC Custom rate springs (Swift springs too) and then he would set the dampening to match the spring rate. Good stuff and supporting small business. I think Paul (guy who bought my car) spent like $500 for the used MZ3 parts

                  LMK If you want to replace the fogs for scoops. I can send you a 3D printed set for a good price.

                          I ordered them, got the strut bearings & misc sway links, rear shock mounts etc from Rock Auto.

                            Got black seats without the rails/motors. Swap is a workout, only did the passenger & I'm wiped.
