Greetings Mr Zont, the 2.8 Z3 is an inspired choice! A lovely engine with low down torque, and grunt further up the rev range. Good ones are great value now, but creeping up in price. My preference is for the pre ass lift model, ( mine's a 1998 one ) and some say these are more sought after, but any good 2.8s are great!. Best of luck with your hunt, there are some beauties out there.Thank you all for the warm welcome!
@GazHyde I think I'll be on the hunt for a 6 cylinder, hopefully the 2.8 as I have experience with the power plant and drivetrain.
