New to this site and BMWs in general.  I just purchased a 1996 Z3 and was interested in some not-too-competitive autocross events.  What are the car requirements for your events other than safety etc.?

Also, not directly related to autocross but does the club host any technical sessions etc. to help the do-it-yourself mechanics?  I am currently experiencing dead power windows and wouldn't mind some advise on where to start.

There aren't many requirements and safety is certainly behind most of them.  Tech on each car is done before each autocross to check basic safety items - secure battery, good wheel hubs, free throttle return, firm brake pedal, working seat belts or harnesses.  Aside from SUVs, vans, and trucks, almost any vehicle can participate.

A Z3 is a really good car to start with.  Running stock suspension and tires should be plenty of fun.
