    Thanks for the suggestions, and the warning about the right side steering. When I get to that section I will remind myself that it will not be necessary to change the car to right side steering to match the photographs.

    Thank you, that is great advice all the way around, from the purchasing leverage to the repair itself if needed. I'd consider doing it myself, unlike the Mini Cooper that required the removal of the entire front end subframe from the car. I knew my limitations and don't regret having "bit the bullet" on that one. The Z3 ought not be more difficult than the trans swap I did on my former CJ5. I'll just need to jack up the Z3 whereas not the case on the CJ.

    Clutch condition

    Dave Meyers posted a topic in BMW Z3 & Z4 Series Forum
    Hello, I am thinking about purchasing a 1998 Z3 with 115,000 miles on it. I just paid a whole lot for a clutch in my 2006 Mini Cooper and do not want to repeat this process. Is there a method of determining how much life the Z3 clutch has left in if there are no records? For example a way to look at the clutch lining or measure it without disassembling the drivetrain? Thank you.
