I got this vert very cheap from a friend who works at a car dealer. He called me last year and said that someone wants to buy a Z3 Roadster and he want to sell his convertible. I didn’t know if it is an early or late one and my friend has no idea about the e30.
So i drove to his shop when the guy was there. First impression was ”“ OH SHIT”¦ what a crap! It wasn’t cleaned the last months and even polished the last years. Furthermore the interior was very dirty. The steering wheel glued to my hands because of all that dirt. We thought that we can buy it cheap. Some positive things were that it had nearly no rust, it’s an early vert, leather interior, new soft top and it has only original 134.000 km. Furthermore the owner had it the last 14 years. I said that i will buy it for 1600 euros but it was too cheap for him. We talked about it and i got it for 2600 euro but furthermore i got a new hard top with the car.
I drove it home and i knew that the suspension has to be removed. It’s too lowered. Furthermore i didnt like the Borbet A. So first i changed to Borbet A to a set of euroweaves. Then i removed the lowering springs on the front. The hood was also replaced because it has a big dent and was also repainted arround the emblem.
Now i’m refinishing the leather and cleaning it inside. It will be polished in some weeks. Next winter it will get a M30B35 and an Alpina front spoiler. The one i bought is for an E21 :(
I thought it is for the E30”¦ my fault. Also i want some 17”a Alpina replika. Thats all”¦ perhaps some small goodies and a normal lowered suspension.

that smart is my daily driver :D
