hi,
i've the same problem. i found few companies recalibrating the speedo and reprogramming the ignition etc., but you'd have to searchg the web.

i've just replaced my speedo (from km/h to mph) and it's off and the rev counter doesn't work at all. apparently there are garages specialising in speedo and odometer adjustment (software and mechanical if the gears are broken). you'd have to search the net for example: http://www.dashtechservices.c...

kelart

bye and good luck!

kelart

m3 covertible would be "prakticalish"

and quick, but i'd keep the z3. what a beautiful car you've got there. and that 3.0 isn't slow too. forget about japanese cars. they're great, but it's a different cattle of fish compared to bmw.

p.s. cut on food and go for Z8!

kelart

cherrs for sharing.
oh, isn't that a dieter's Z8??!

kelart

you mean xenon? they sell "xenon" bulb on ebay, but the real xenon upgrade kit is quite pricey. i'm not sure if those "xenon" bulbs from ebay give you anything more than a dim blue boyracy tint. or perhaps the new generation of those bulbs really works? anyone?

kelart

no no, head unit is a sony cd/mp3 4x50Watt, which isn't fitted yet - i can't remove the old kenwood cd - it seems to be stuck and one of the panels surrounding the centre console doesn't want to come out neither, so i can't get an access to the back :head: i think i'm gonna need help of a specialist...

kelart

not yet. i just got the sensors last week.

kelart

.everyone uses them

and that's your answer. a coercive monopoly then.

kelart

ok

i didn't know this is THE M1

kelart

i don't know. without these few extra bits and bigger wheels zed would look sad like a vauxhall tigra or something

it supposed to be a roadster not a mini cab, so it requires a bit of flamboyance

kelart

geee, gary. it must be horrible - i'd feel like someone is taking me for a mug. cheeky!

kelart

Another problem is I have my Z3 up for sale in the next few issues of Autotrader so if I get a buyer the do like spokey said. this is at least they can do for ya. they should be more sympathetic. if my missus found out that the car has diferent colour then agreed she'd throw the tantrum (for her co...

kelart

is there an M1?! do you mean that flat coupe kinda car? but it doesn't relate do Z1 like Mroadster to Z3... does it.
does it looks something like the 8 series? sorry for ignorance, but i didn't know about its existence.

kelart

that's what i was thinking about. and perhaps fit a couple of small 4" speakers behind the seats? i don't have a subwoofer, as my car is an old late 1995 (two midrange behind the kick panel + tweeters and something else in the doors). still can't find the amp

kelart

i've just found out about the handbrake not long ago. i'm not sure there's similar regualtion outside the UK. we've got diferent - USE THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN IS RAINING! more useful.

kelart

i've got a pair of Pioneer speakers (not to big 120Watt max) and i though it's good day to break a kick panel in my car :D i studied those articles on MZ3.net, but i still don't understand few things. 1. my speakers (25Watt Nokias) don't have any 20W amp attached 2. there's no amplifier in the boot ...

kelart

good for you! better than be stripped from cash by the dealers. most decent garages have testing equipement nowadays. it's good to ask. i've got an MOT station just round the corner and they spend few thousands on a computer. their hourly rate is very low. you can get a little ticket with faults (no...

kelart

i prefer them on darker coloured cars to silver ones...

the best look you can get on a boston green or any kind of dark blue/ burgundy.

kelart

(...)sneaky bastards(...)

shhh! few of "them" are our fellow members

kelart

geeee! i'm sorry for dial-up users

kelart

maxaluna, have you got loads of stick from police for that plate? i love old style plates, but can't afford hefty fines. my dad's car had black and silver plate SIL 2551 thirty something years ago, and i'd love to find similar, but... you know... my car isn't an antique.

Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones

if i really want acid i'm not gonna order the coke...

kelart

it also happens when someone pastes a very very long link.

TVR Tuscan

but he meant something what drives and handles well. TVR is bag of fun, but it handles in a weird way.

kelart

The downside about the cream interior Z1s

(...)

i think that the biggest downside is that you must wash you hands often

it's not a car for someone who runs a chimney sweeping business.

kelart

good for you, mate!

The whole thing must have taken about 4 to 5 hours, of which at least 2-3 hours were wasted with the initial failed zipping up

and this is the reasopn why i couldn't be bothered so far

http://www.emiata.com/BMWInstructions.htm

kelart

now, that place on the 9th photo... it looks familiar. is it hoorn or somewhere there? i've got a picture in my photo album with an old citroen parked in the same spot.
chris, i can't wait to meet up with you lot!

kelart

hmm..i'd have to re-evaluate my opinion about suits from now on.

kelart

It's more of a lemon yellow, isn't it?

perhaps i should re-calibrate my monitor?

kelart

Its probably the one that gets hit more often

you mean like a drivers mirror in london?

kelart

OT: Oh Btw did you receive the accelerator pedal, Kris? oh, good you reminded me. got it this morning. you're my saviour, as my zed couldn't pass MOT without. you're funds should be transfered this week. I could arrange them for 130 Euro, including VAT and shipping. That would be something like £90 ...

kelart

"fighting breeds" to wear muzzles and you have to have a special license i remember we had this back home in poland. you need licence to own and breed potentialy dangerous breeds. some breeds are treated like any other kind of weapon (gun, tazer, cs gas) and before you get the licence you...

kelart

that creme interior (or almost pistacchio - if trust the white balance of your camera) looks stunning contrasted with that dark green!

"and ladies love shiny motor"...

kelart

i spoke today to the pet shop owner and she told me, that it's not the first time in when staffs in my area troubled other dogs. there's a rumour, that chavs from nearby estate organising regular dog fights (and make money at the same time) :evil: that's why every single of the has two dogs - to bre...

kelart

nice one foxy! i had the same fitted even before my zed came to the UK

chris, those smoked look quite interesting on a cosmos (?) black.

kelart

something like this?

btw. black coupe with black rims and black lights would look better than roadster.

kelart

to close the topic - doggie is back! lots of stiches on both legs, with the hole on his nose, bruised and swollen. still, he needs few more visits to the vet.. if anybody with strong stomach wants to see (it's bit drastic): http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a96/kelart/DSCF3276.jpg thank you everybody...

kelart

mah bwoy, bloke!

i,m seriously thinking about chrome palting the doors seals (or whatever the called - these long panels on the side), as i got set of spare fibre ones. maybe one day

kelart

the best place to get sensors from apart from the stealer i used to buy sensors of ebay for other cars (ca. £20 for a sensors worth more thna twice the money), but it could be difficult with zed, as there's not many parts for them on ebay. there's none right now. certain bits is much easier to find...

kelart

thank you for your support. doggie is waiting for his surgery right now. i'm not sure what to do with the staffs' owner, as he's just a silly teenager. i don't wan't to waste his life, but he must help me to meet the bill and take better care of the dogs. we'll see... i reported the incident to the ...

kelart

i'm very sorry if you feel that this post shouldn't be here, but... my dog, a very kind and shy dobermann - a gentle giant, was today severly bitten by someone's two staffs let loose in the park. one went for my dog's face and the second grab his leg. it took almost ten minutes to separate the dogs ...

kelart

hmmm...chrome handles

kelart

Your next purchase maybe but will it be your last???

nah, i need chrome roll bars, bigger rims, amplifier...

kelart

i had the same in my vectra. i changed camhaft and crank sensors. everything' fine now

kelart

ice wheels!

my next purchase wil be this:

kelart

fitted today chrome handle covers (£18), chrome number plate surrounds (£11) and retrofit boot lock surround (£6 from bmw-chromteile.de). little money spent, but the car looks much better. lock surround is a pain to fit, though. i had to drill a wider hole in the boot, disconnect central locking rod...

kelart

yes, there's a LED (different than i've seend on photos, though), but it doesn't work at all. empty bracket is still empty and there's nout under the gaitor.

kelart

you should declare yourself SORN then, as you don't seem to be roadworthy anymore

kelart

no, i'm sure it was for a set this time. "closedown sale" kinda clearance. it was also an auction and not "buy now".sometimes you can find a set of 17" M wheels replicas for below £400. people have many different reasons to sell their stuff for cheap (or rip you off nicely :...
