Hey Ross,
Saw your post, glad to hear your car is back on the road !
Had to LOL at this part :

The local paper, `Wheels' section had a write-up on the Z3. They said that
with the new, optional straight-six, it was quite a fun car. They also
noted that it cost 38 THOUSAND dollars !!! For that kind of money, I
think I could come up with about 10 or 12 LBCs, or a small house !! Either
way, for 38 K, it wouldn't look suspiciously like a Mi*ta !
