Hello guys.
Just bought a new Z3 and look forward to spending plenty of time here learning from most of you guys.
Its my first BMW and its a Red 1997 1.9L. I cant post pics, not sure why. The PO was very meticulous and everything is in top shape inside and out. Only three things I wish to do are purely cosmetic.
1. Need to replace the original top and go from tan to black. Based on the cost of labor vs the cost of the part, its looking like a DIY. There is plenty of info on how to do it, but best to hear first hand from folks that have done it (i.e two man job? estimated length? difficulty level? etc). Thoughts and experiences?
2. Need to repaint the from bumper from gravel rash. PO lived in a remote area.
3. Not entirely sold on the stock "star shaped" wheels with the ridge in the middle. I am looking to go with the BBS style 42's ( RIM #59270 - ID Number 36111095058). The problem/question I have is that when I compare the Z3 stock wheel allowables vs the specs of these rims, they appear to fit. However, when I try to go online and simulate a purchase for fitment verification, it says that they will only fit models from 1998 or later. Can someone tell me why? There is a guy on CL selling a set from his 2000 BMW 328i. Im trying to stay with 16's because PO put new tires last may, but would consider going with 17s. Will they fit?
Other than that, its just drive...drive...drive!
Thanks
