    Any chance of adding an engine swap DIY(ie s54 swap into non M z3, or s52 swap into a non M z3)?

    Not sure of a lot of Z3 specific info out there for that, most information will be the same for the E36 depending on the year of the Z3

    Any chance we can get this thread added to the section about the seat tilt mod kit? And ideally, be the first link in that section? https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/s...lt-Mod-Failure
