I have no photos or anything at present and the car has been stored away best part of 10 years so I'm excited (and worried) to be digging it out next leave and bringing it to Northern Ireland.
Anyone any good pointers with regards to parts, manuals, forums etc. I'm looking forward to getting stuck into it and maybe changing a few things after I've got it roadworthy again.
Cheers in advance,

Hi Barry,
Congrats on the new car. They are real fun and IMO, future classics. I happen to own a Z3 M Coupé. It is actually my second one and I did semi restorations on both of them so I could say I know them pretty well. Although I must admit I never had to deal with fire damage or anything similar. For anything else here are my two restoration threads on a different forum.

And my second and current Silver Z3 M Coupé ;

For further info and vast of knowledge, you can search though
www.z3mcoupe.com It is mainly coupe based but problems and maintenance is almost identical to roadsters.
