Hello,

Sorry, the title should read Z3 not M3

I have never had a BMW before,,,,ever.
I quite like the look of the little Z3
I am going to look at a 1900cc 1997 model. 80k miles.
Looks very well looked after.

What questions should I ask the seller ?
Waht should I be looking out for in respect of things about to cost me money

only driven a 2001 3L sport myself so cant help too much with what to look for etc, however....

a 2.8 will be similar price and will be infintely better to drive/own. The 2.8 really is a peach of an engine. Im getting 34 average from mine in a heavier E36. Make sure its a non nikasil one if you do go for it though. That means either post 98 (changeover was officially early 98) or replaced block under warranty from BMW.
