Gents,

I am hoping to return to the work of BMW owners. I had a '01 330ci coupe for years that I loved but had to sell due to serious rust in the doors and my family's need for a third row. I now drive a Honda Pilot. But I am looking to return some fun to my garage and get a Z3 for summertime. Looking to spend under $8K and would like either a pre-facelift 2.8L or a '01 3.0L.

Anyway, I found a contender in VA Beach and wondered if you all knew someone in that area who knows BMWs who I could pay for a once-over before I traveled the 6 hours down there to look at it myself. Any suggestions?
