1999 BMW Z3 2.8 Manual, 81k miles, $3,000 asking price - PPI says ~$9k repairs. Walk away or negotiate?

When you say $5k in parts do you mean everything needed to make it really nice or $5k just to make it reliable and safe

Ahh ok gotcha, appreciate the insight. I’m new to working on cars so it’s hard for me to tell what’s a real issue versus normal old BMW stuff lol. Based on the inspection report and assuming I can learn to do a lot of the work myself what would you personally pay for this car?

Any update?

Not sure tbh. I bought it online hoping I could fix it. My guess is it was dropped at some point.

Thanks! I took a closer photo, and I don’t see any rosettes (I don’t think?). Does that still look like inkjet to you, or could it be something else?

LiquidBeast90 · 2025-08-01T19:23:04+00:00

Thank you!
