New (to me) - 2000 Z3

[EricHillen]

Hello everyone, new from PA here! - just picked this up a week ago in Maryland and I could not be happier with it!

2000 2.3l 5speed with 134,000 miles in fantastic condition for a 25 year old car!

Just looking to do some simple mods, plans have already begun! HR springs, new struts, wheels eventually, new head unit and speakers - and some general TLC to keep it going!

Thanks everyone! I haven’t gotten to go over everything on the car yet, but it all looks good at first glance and feels good while driving. Anything I should be aware of that may be problematic with these cars? (This is my first BMW, and now the oldest car I’ve owned!)

Also, any suggestions on springs - I can’t leave anything stock for too long! I’ve been thinking about the HR springs with Koni struts (but for the price I could get a nice set of coilovers instead! BC’s or something in that price range)
