Got a bit of sad news I've secretly been holding back for a few weeks and that is "I sold the Z" Yup that's right!! she's officially gone.

I couldn't wait for the NEW Z and had to buy a new car.

The Z was just staring to give problems left and right engine trans issues and I just didn't want to pour a bunch of money I was never getting back.

With the good market on used cars I was able to get 16k for it and was quoted 1k off msrp on the new car with no added B.S.

I really wanted to replace it with a Supra premium but locally all wanted min of 3k above msrp. Hell No!! and the used was at msrp :shakes head:

I went with my 3rd choice a 2022 BMW 430. :excited:

I hope you guys can forgive me for leaving the 370Z fam.

I've meet incredible people and it's been a pleasure looking after things even though I have had my limitations (Admin Permission)

I've constantly owned a Z, 74, 70, 90 ,09 for more than 35yrs so change was due.

I still have the 70' 240Z to wrench on. ;)

Anyway I'll still be here online looking after things albeit not as often as well as the BMW forums learning about the new ride.

Here's a quick pic I took while shopping the other day.

The color is Brooklyn Grey and hope you guys like it although it has the controversial beaver teeth grill :ugh: I like it. :tup:

Thanks for taking the time to read and enjoy this Sunday Morning! :tiphat:

Don't blame you with the way the used car market is. Cars will come and go. Enjoy the new ride and don't look back! :tup:

Left for Denver Friday morning. Pulled into my brother in-law driveway last night around 8pm. 1,400 miles in the Power Wagon. It's packed full. The trip was uninventful. Seen a lot of wind damage in Kansas from last week.

Good Monday Morning All. 60* for a high today with 0% chance of rain. :bowdown: No racing yesterday but my Cowboys did win. :happydance: Getting ready to head to the gym. So hope you all have a Great Monday. Stay Safe, Stay Positive and Keep Washing Those Hands. :tup:

PS: Just 5 Days Until Christmas!! :happyholidays::xmastup::merrychristmas:

Good morning all!

Congrats on the new ride :tup: :driving:

Which forum(s)? I'm on a couple but the only one I'm really active on is bimmerforums. I picked up a 98 M3 4dr 5spd from a buddy a while back.

Not quite back in my hands just yet but close. MA Motorsports has it back in their shop for some minor tweaks and some additional testing/inspection before they release it back to me. They are also going to detail it for me and Brian might do a Youtube video if he has time. Should get it back soon tho. :tiphat:

Dyno results:
Red 93 Octane 16psi
Blue E85 20 psi 4th gear
Green E85 22psi 5th gear

dude.. you've got a monster. :rock::rock:
