I'm not Fox but 2.0. No no.

Suppose it depends on the cost of the vehicle

Thoughts: If you are going to buy a 6 cylinder Z3, make it at least the 2.2.

Australia: I only wrote up the car stuff. Guess I should get round to doing the normal stuff, any specific questions?

Yes, M52B20 and M52TUB20. Found in the UK in the Z3 2.0 and the BMW 520i 1996-2000. Elsewhere the E46 got it as well but we didnt here. Think it also popped up in the E36?

Oh Dear - Quick Reply

Hi,

Thanks for responding - for the benefit of others I do not believe you are the only person capable of giving constructive advice - hovewer, you appear to be the most informed !
Any advice on the car, weakspots etc. would be great.

Thanks in advance,

Mike.

The 2.8 and 3.0 versions are perfectly good wafty 'cheap' roadsters. They don't handle brilliantly and more posers cars than drivers tools but with these limitations in mind they are not bad buys for £4-7k.

Ok I will let you off

Fox - I am not in love with you !

You appear to know all about BMW.

I would like to make best use of your knowledge.

How the hell do I PM/MSN etc. ?

Thanks.

Mike.

Finally had enough of the Austin 1300 Basil?

basil · 6 Dec 2009 at 22:30

Reasons Why

Mock as you like - or respect !

My family (Dad 45, Mum 49 (50, 10/12) - Our Children 23,19 and 17) all well "trained", employed, stable and a credit to their Mother.
I love them all.
My wife, Ann, would like more than a ???, hence the Z3.

Thanks,

Mike.
