Most Z4 owners replace their runflats with non runflats,its not an MOT failure.

I'm looking at buying a Z3, does anybody know what problems I might encounter with the 2.0 2.2 2.8 M52 Engines.
I've heard there might be a problem with Nikercil (Spelling?)Linings.

Hi Andy If the car in question is your old cab. Then I would be looking to sell it for what he paid for it. But, as its the end of summer, I would allow 500 less. If I remember right it took you quite a while to sell it. So he'll have to be patient. http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy272/nickstuch...
