99 z3 2.8l roadster

That is an awesome gift dude and great way to keep it in the family!  Man all that water in there would make me nervous as hell though, with all of the electronics in cars nowadays.  Hopefully that gets sorted!

I'm surprised the water isn't a bigger issue, but luckily it's a pretty old car without too many electronics (5 years away from vintage plates) so i'm not too worried about keeping it in tip-top shape. I'd like to get rid of all codes, but if it means i need to do something ridiculous like changing out the wiring harness or removing the dash... it won't happen. I don't think it's quite there yet. The majority of the wires are actually running right under the passenger seat, so testing all the seat operations should be fun... Right now i can see at least one harness connector that needs to be replaced and luckily there is a lot of info online (granted it's all from 5-10+ years ago). This car will mainly just be a fun spare car.

My goal is to keep the water out and make it drive, look, and sound nice.

I've been looking at wheel/tire/spacer setups and suspension set-ups at the moment.
