Smart how you did your exhaust build so you can swap it back. I wish I did that on my Durango, because the crappy aluminized chamber muffler is rotting out. Now I have to reweld a pipe to connect the catylatic converter and get a new tail pipe. I let my Dad make a "custom" exhaust for it. So I could put a different muffler on it lol. Anyways now I have to revert all that, because I want to daily again and put the stock suitcase one back on lol. I wasn't very bright at 16 lol.

Hello I’m new to the channel. I recently purchased a 1998 Z3 with the 1.9 liter engine. Looking forward to all the BMW Z3 content and hope to learn more about the car.

[@gerechoppers]

Cool. Thanks for watching. I’ve got several other videos about this car already posted on the channel with more to come. Cheers.

i bought my '98 1.9L m44 z3 about six monhs ago, LOVE the car! im excited for you to enjoy!

[@XFile91]

@@nathanbringman9256 Awesome! Any particular problems that you have experienced since owning the Z3? Or any common issues that you are aware of?

[@nathanbringman9256]

@@XFile91 when I bought it the seat bushings were crushed to oblivion, so the seats slide forward about two inches, easy fix with a day off and $8 of parts, besides that, the A pillars can leak a bit where the little rubber plug is, you could replace the plug or put a layer of silicon on it

[@nathanbringman9256]

Other than that, no issues with the car so far, had it about 6 months

I dont get it. Those are 8.5" and they dont stick out of the narrow body quarter panels. I just completed my widebody swap and had to order 2" spacers for the gap I ended up with. 8.5" wide wheels should fit flush with the wide body, not the regular body. Please advise.

[@gerechoppers]

It has something to do with the offset I guess. I just took them off of the 330Ci and bolted them on. There is more of the wheel to the backside than in front of the lug nuts.

[@likits1999]

Thanks for the reply. The 8.5s look great on your Z3. I like the staggered look with the fat tires showing off in the rear. Great job with your project.

[@mr_angry_7507]

What kinda exhaust you have ?

[@gerechoppers]

It was a custom exhaust that I fabricated. I have the stock exhaust on it now since I’m living in a townhouse temporarily. I’m trying to be a good neighbor and not be so noisy.
