Z3M Service Intervals

Hi All I have a 99 Z3M - 60k miles. Its been in storage off the road for the last 18 months on trickle charge but I've been starting it and running it round the block every month or so. It was last serviced in 2016 but has only done 800 miles since. The service light still isn't on. I had the air fi...

Re: Z4M Purchase

That's my worry. Everything so far with MOT checks, service history checks and history with BMW all adds up.

Be nice to have a Z3M and a Z4M in the garage :)

Z3M Brakes

Hi guys. After a bit of advise from others experience. I had the dreaded vibration and squeak from the front brakes at the start of the year.

Re: steering judder c 50mph... occurring on and off

I'm also having this same issue. About 60-80mph the wheel vibrates every time. But when the car gets warm there is a squeak from the nsf and the vibration gets a lot worse under braking. Thought this may help as I've just been reading up on it... http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

Morning Guys :-)

Been looking at this upgrade for a couple of years now.

Reading through many posts and discussions about it its obvious of the plus points but my question was whether it will effect the steering in any way?
