Sell the Z3?

I’d say sell it… to me! 😂 I need a new autocross project and always thought the Zs were cool. Otherwise, I’d say keep wrenching… it’s a content MACHINE. And, never forget, the BMW you love the most is the one you let slip away. 😆

I’ve just made the call the part out my Alfa 166. It’s a similar deal, sunk cost fallacy has me wanting to rebuilt it. But life is finite and the sunk cost fallacy is a real thing.

2026-02-12 16:44:00 +0000 UTCI'm dropping the subframe on my z3 currently for a weld-on adjustable camber/toe kit right now. I haven't struggled too much with any of the disassembly but it has been a fairly involved and lengthy process. If you're not married to the car I would probably sell it.

2026-02-12 16:41:54 +0000 UTCThe only way you could save it would be to do a Sreten kind of restoration; but is it worth the work? IMHO no and, as how you have expressed yourself, you also think that it does not worth

2026-02-12 07:10:32 +0000 UTCI would sell it and get a 135i(preferred) or 128i but I'm bias as I have a 135i
