Re: Brennan's z3 journal

Hi, Been following your journal. I see you replaced your centre console for a turned aluminium version. Assuming you still have your old blue console do you want to sell it? I have the aluminium version but would prefer the blue! Different things to different people!!

Re: Coolant flow direction

Hi Robert, Thanks for the reply.
