2002 Estoril Blue Z3 M Coupe AC Schnitzer

[Gizmo]

Hello fanatics, once again thanks to a true fanatic/collector I get to have hands-on experience on another one of my dream cars, this time its the extremely rare Z3M ACS!

















Air filter change out. Who puts a cheap aftermarket no name brand filter in a ACS anyway?!?


New OEM filter marked.


Vacuumed out the debis in the airbox.




Oil filter change out.


Lean the car to get all the old oil out.


Cleaned the inside of the oil filter housing, bolt and cover.






Removed under cover to access oil cooler.


Old oil drained from sump and oil cooler.

---

Car looks fantastic from any angle.




New oem oil filter, engraved with date and mileage.




Primed filter housing with fresh Liqui Moly GT1 10w60.


Primed oil filter too.


Now to find the source of the battery drain.


Looks like netstar handy work.




Well that was a sub standard netstar install, took me less than 30seconds to find the unit.


Unit will be deleted and wiring insulation will be repaired.


That's all for now, more updates tomorrow.

Netstar unit removed, however the damage has been done, the willard won't hold enough charge to start the car in a 24hr cycle.


Harness repaired.


Original screws sourced to replace the wood screws.






Nice to see the car still has it's full compliment of tools and first-aid kit.


Owner uses a boot mat to protect the original carpet.


Brake fluid flush time! Here is proof that brake fluid must be replaced by time, not mileage.


15 Years and 33 000km.


Pressure bleed.






Clutch slave cylinder too.


Reset service lights and brake fluid flush light using resetting tool.


More updates tomorrow.:coolShake:

Im the lucky one to be maintaining such rare beauties. It's like maintaining my dream car garage, too bad I only get to drive them for a very short while.

What made the ACS car different?

This is awesome :clapper:

 

[Gizmo]

What made the ACS car different?

S54, exhaust back boxes, ACS wheels and a few smaller details.

 

[flyitlikearental]

Among other a smattering of ACS goodness in the cabin, acs short shift kit, and acs suspension. What a car dude!

 

[Gizmo]

The ACS suspension on this car is actually bilstein.

Thanks Warren, and could you buy it with the ACS bits from factory?

This is how the car left the factory. One of only 39.
