Was perusing my local marketplace looking for a miata (is that blasphemy here?😆) and came across a really clean 1999 z3 2.5 liter for a great price. 5 speed, ran amazing, and couldn't pass it up. So now a first time owner of a z3 and a convertible. So super excited to start carving some corners soon!

Unfortunately, I am not super familiar with the platform. Is there anything I should be aware of, or keep an eye out for any known issues? I have heard oil leaks are a thing, curious what else are normal occurrences for the z3 platform. The original motor was transplanted with the newer year BMW M54B25 and trans, so will obviously keep an eye for any shotty work there.

TIA
