For those who are interested March Practical Classics has advertised that it is featuring a "How to buy the finest BMW Z3
– ultimate guide"

kjayf

I don't believe that the car has gone to auction, as it hadn't yesterday morning when I called in!!

kjayf

Not sure if this may be of interest, I have just part exed my Z3 at Coopers Ipswich, (I know its not Essex but close) It is a 2000, 3.0 auto with 92k on the clock, full service history all bar one BMW. The mot is until November. The man to contact is Geoff Pym. I don't know if it will be sold in hou...

kjayf

After many enjoyable years of owning the Z3, I have decided to have a change of car, therefore I will be saying goodbye to a forum that has been informative, humorous and enjoyable. I have gone for a Cooper S Convertible, it must be one of the few cars in the world that has a smaller boot than the Z...

It is a straight forward diy job, if you search the knowledge base there is a very good photographic description of the removal of the old unit & installation of its replacement, it took me about 45 mins to complete, 20 of those sorting out the electrical connection

kjayf

Hi, I had similar problems in my 3.0 auto, turned out to be the inlet cam sensor. Its a tad awkward when it cuts out as you are coming out of a roundabout onto a dual carriageway, no engine, no power steering & you cant dip the clutch & restart the engine. Never a dull day in the life of a Z.

kjayf

Neat solution, thanks for that

Hi, I'm looking for a non cd changer boot carpet for a facelift model, if anyone knows of any please pm me cheers

This web site is pretty good for info & "how to", regarding looking after paintwork etc.

Fitted mine last weekend, as I had to install the fitting kit as well, all seems ok except for creaks & groans, (from the car as well

), from reading various posts this may be due to the top sitting down too close to the rear bodywork, i will have to have a play at the weekend to resolve this

kjayf

Hi, just a note to let people know that it is still possible to get the Z3 hardtop fitting kit direct through BMW. Mine cost £313 for a face lift version

kjayf

Hi, is the boot carpet for use with or without the cd changer.
Cheers Kev

kjayf

Hi, could I have this please at the asking price. if you could pm me with payment details.
Many Thanks
Kev

kjayf

thanks for the replys, I have tried pushing on the bonnet , but to be honest I am 99% sure that the cable has broken, I will attempt removing the bonnet grills later this week.

kjayf

Hi
I have a slight problem in that I cannot open the bonnet of my Z3, when I pull the lever in the footwell there is little to no resistance, therefore I suspect the cable has broken or the connection linkage broke. Is there a straightforward method of opening the bonnet in this situation.

I have a 3.0 z3 with auto gearbox, the car is coming up for 10 years old, & while BMW state that the gearbox is sealed for life, I think that the car would benefit from a gearbox oil & filter change, other than BMW dealers is there anywhere that sells the filters, I have tried g&s withou...

kjayf

Thats ok, I was going to have the cam belt changed on our Clio 172 and ended up with a new car

kjayf

Hi, I've had a 3.0 Z3 auto for 3 years, picked mainly because my partner was unable to fully depress the clutch pedal on a manual, even with the seat fully forward and raised, (Sandy is 5'-1")! The steptronic feature is ok for psuedo manual changes. I would have no issues picking an auto again....

Hi Folks, According to the Goodyear site, they do not list the Eagle F1 Asymmetric for 16" rims, I'm in a similar situation of requiring 225/50/16 tyres in the near future. I have GSD3's on our other car (Clio 172) & have noticed that they are quite a bit noisier than the previous Continent...

kjayf

Just checked on the garage website & the car is listed as sold, perhaps the new owner is a forum member or will be in the future!

kjayf

Just replaced the front lower wishbone bushes this morning with powerflex units. By following Mikes instructions, it became a straightforward and an easy job, many thanks Mike . When removing the old bushes the drivers side was so bad that I twisted the arm 90° which caused the rubber to split!! On ...

£344-80 last thursday (7th June 2007) all inclusive, this price was from Coopers Ipswich (main BMW stealer). I was originally quoted £361-99p from my local indie, and £361-64p from the main dealer.
Hope that this helps

kjayf

Many thanks to Spokey for an enjoyable jaunt, the Saturday "diversion" was an excellent treat. A shame that we could only be there for one day.

kjayf

Hi The zed is coming up for an inspection 2 service, so I thought that it would be a good idea to compare costs between the local stealer (Coopers, Ipswich) with the local BM indie (Hemingstone). Ensuring that the quotes were on a like for like basis with regards to parts supplied, vat, valeting etc...

Hi, I have a year 2000 3.0 steptronic. in normal auto mode all changes are very smooth and not noticiable, in sport mode the changes appear quicker as the changes are at higher revs, however the changes are still smooth. When using the "manual" changes the changes are still smooth through ...
