In the front I have 2 Michelin 225/45 ZR16, in the rear 2 Yokohama's (I didn't know having 2 different makes on the car ...), same tyres were on the car when I bought it in 2006 from the Mampaey family (Juma) in Mechelen.

Hi Vincent, I do not have the same "central steering weakness" as you described. My car is a 1990 red Z1, rather well reconditioned, although I understand what you mean. We do not live far away from each other in spite of the highway works on the E313... Did yoiu check your car with a reli...

Charles_42

The front side panels of my Z1 (and the one of my brother in law's Z1) are still all right. However : any idea of the price : one by one, per couple, mass purchase ???

Charles_42

I would stick to the original equipment. My wife already now finds the Z1 much to low when traveling in between the 'huge' national and international lorries ... Many greetings,

Hi all ! Although not to a disastrous level, in my recently repainted Zed tTopRot) I see some wear and attrition at the inside of the hood, especially where the hood is supported by the metal framework. Could the covering of the metal framework with some thin anti-wear tape help or eliminate the wea...

Please check the antenna-amplifier in your Z1. There is one (left side, under the steering-wheel) - and your receptions should improve a lot. Sometimes they have Porblems with cabeling. http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/Z1/Roadster/Europe/Z1-M20/LHD/M/1991/january/browse/audio_navigation_electronic...

After exchanging the “older” Blaupunkt London RM104 with the “newer” (although looking more classical) Becker Grand Prix 7992 , ( thereby abandoning the huge Blaupunkt 10-CD exchanger, making some more space in the luggage compartment, and an old 4 x 25 Watt amplifier and heaps of wiring ) I came to...

Hi all ! First of all thanks a lot for the many practical pieces of advise ! I already found the address of a Belgian distributor for the so called 'helicopter' films. A contact or visit will follow.

I own a fine BMW Z1 since March 2006. Although the car did not really need to be repainted, some body parts were visually scratched and some body panels did optically not fit well with surrounding panels or lights. So I decided to have all body parts dismounted, professionally painted, mounted and r...

Becker 7992 connections

Charles_42

I just bought 2 x Becker Grand Prix 7992 (Red) : one for the Z1 (1990), the other for my VW 1302LS Cabriolet (1972). The radio has 4 outputs for loudspeakers and 1 for a sub-booster. What connector to buy and especially : where ??? Thanks for any help !

Charles_42

I thought buying the Becker Grand Prix radio for my Z1 replacing an older Blaupunkt (London) too difficult to operate and shutting up after a while ... Some questions however: 1. It gives an output of "only" 4 x 30 Watt, wouldn't I need an extra amplifier behind ? e.g. 4 x 70 Watts extra +...

I meant the spiral bound BMW Z1 internal publication in English, called "Product Concept BMW VM-3".
Anyone having that in PDF-FORMAT ?

Charles_42

Would be interesting to have the document made available as a pdf-format. Is quite easy to realise, howedver takes some time on a classic small HP-copier-scanner-printer. Looking forward to learn more about your possibilites. Thanks in beforehand anyway !

Charles_42

As far as I remember from my years at BMW's, the "E" stands for the German word "Entwurf" or "blueprint", "draft", "plan" for a new vehicle. They once must have started with E01 or something. It is confirmed that the letter E followed by a 2-digit nu...

I am still in the posession of the Z1 Owner's Manual that was delivered with the Z1 being new. It's in Dutch, one of the national languages used in Belgium. Looking at the picture on the front page I was surprised to see that the picture most probably (?) is a "mock up" and not the result ...

There is nothing above original splendor !
Carbon stuff was not used in those days, at least not for badges !

Charles_42

More bastard-Z1's like this one always will mean higher values for the original immaculate ones !

Glad to see you are still in the market for a Z1 Jan !
How do you get on with your pending negociations ?
Wish you much bravery, sangfroid and an excellent satisfying deal in the near future ... Greetings to Jane !

When I replace the seat parts of my Z1, back rest and side supports were clumped to the seat frame with staples. I think you have to remove those metal staples for disassemble it. Hi Mitsuhiko !

I have an early car (00176) and could not get the seat apart either as per those instructions. Either it's me or the seats changed at some point.

I do not know whether your magic violet is the only one in Belgium. A couple of years ago I spotted one on a local used car yard with a damaged softtop, no hardtop and some body repairs rear left.

Hi Sam, Some sources quote 153, others say 176 is the number of Z1's produced for / delivered to the Belgian market between 1988 and 1991. What I would like to know is the number of Z1's "ready to drive", this means technically controlled, duly legally insured to take the road, provided wi...

Being a zroadster.net member since 03-2006 I've been walking through the Z1-forum many times, I just wonder how many BELGIAN "registered" Z1's (immatriculées en Français!) there are in Belgium or owned by B elgians abroad. It's a pity we don't know each other.

I find that if I drive very fast, I get the horn. :mrgreen: (Sorry, that wasn't very useful ... but I pay BMW to look after my car. :oops: ) I already paid a visit to my local BMW dealer (knowing the owners since 1974!) but the service manager had to look up the location himself and would phone me ...

Although using a horn is in fact a forbidden activity, I would appreciate being able to use it now and then. Not for attracting attention - what you might think - but just to use in case of emergency! Recently the Z1 horn refused any cooperation. :head: The steering wheel contact, the fuse #7 and re...
