Re: Jonttt Imola II Red S54 Z3m Roadster Journal
Nope, none at all, only had it 2 months though but done plenty of mileage in it. I think lots of problems where software related resolved by a major update in 2022. The physical problems are heater matrix failure (no engine heat to provide heating so reliant on a heat matrix) which affected a lot of...

ps the inner fabric roof liner was a facelift 04/99 change ie not exclusive to S54 models, late S50 models also have it and it can be retro fitted so some older cars have it.

To show another side of the equation I'm pretty confident I'm on the plus side of owning a WB 993 and S54 Z3m and that gap will only widen on the +v side over time.
And yes I know how to factor in total cost of ownership and opportunity costs

If you want more than just a cosmetic change fit a 340mm raid wheel, retains airbag (although only single stage if you have a 2 stage system) and transforms the driving experience on the Z3's. One of the best mods I did to my car, the stock wheel whether recovered or not is just too big IMHO
