Must sell ASAP as i am leaving the country on Monday! These are the standard (?) silver surround with black slats. Good condition.
Open to any offers, as i say must sell!

MattyC

Sorry the roll hoops have gone. I was lucky enough to get the rest of the remaining car sold in a 1'er! Pics now add as you can see! Thanks for the kind comments. I guess its only a car at the end of the day and i am luckly untouched which is the main thing!

After writing off my car last week :head: i have the following items for sale! Cosmo strut brace for Z3 2.8 (m52u) or most 6cly engines (i think) OEM Front clear headlight clusters. One has suffered some scratching and some of the plastic clips have broke. I have all these and they should be fine af...

If you do it properly and not OTT then 'pimpin' can work on a Z! I have lowered mine (high adjustable coilovers), fitted the CSL replicas, rear spacers, custom backbox, black kidney grills and vents! I wouldn't do anything else to it now! 8-) Have a look at the latest photos; http://www.zroadster.ne...

Never Got Round To Selling This 1st Time, Has To Go Though As Its Pi$$ing Me Off Stuck In My Hall.
Make Me A Sensible Offer!

MattyC

Should it be flashing when the car is locked? Also is it the sensor for central/ remote locking?
thanks

The cheapest and easiest way is to run a phono to mini jack cable from the phono connection that your cd player would normally run on and play it through that! That is of course you have a multichanger and you don't want to use it anymore! I have mine coming out the ashtray so its tucked away from v...

You can't convert up from a 192 to 320 kbps, its impossible as it has all ready been sampled at a lower rate! I am a club DJ as a profession and i'll try and only use 320 kbps when playing out - You will notice a difference on a big soundsystem but in the car the difference will be hard to tell to t...

Th photo was taken from the german rieger website which claims they sell to the UK market from! Looks like i got ripped off then as i paid £90 plus postage this one from

plus i waited a decade for it!

Offers?

Hello people, I have just received delivery of a Rieger Infinity Lip spolier to fit the following to fit Z3 Models (2.8 All Years. All others 1999+ (Facelift Models) 'ABS Plastic Front Bumper Spoiler for the BMW Z3 by Rieger Tuning. Made in Germany to Very High Standards Complete with Fittings.' I o...

MattyC

try these, wider rears which will look better!

MattyC

Is that an alfa?

MattyC

Not sure how much this costs but the saying goes 'if you have to ask then you can't afford it'
This is orgasmic imo!

MattyC

Thanks for the kind comments!
The are 18'' The real CSL alloys only come in 19''!
Yeah it was sunny but i am in scotland! Brrrrrrr

Lucky i have heated seats!-) I did take some photos with the roof down, i'll have to add them!

MattyC

Thanks muppet! I think the CSL's are one of the best looking wheels for a Z! I was thinking of getting new wheels but there is just nothing that will look as good (apart from some BBS ££££) I think everybody should get a set! Ha ha!

MattyC

I would just adjust the suspension and higher it up, thats the beauty of coilovers!

MattyC

I was concered about getting aalloys that looked too 'aftermarket'. These imo look great on most BMW's i have seen them on! Only have a problem on the really harsh ones if there is someone in the car, just have to slow right down and go over them slowly. Nothing to put me off!
Matt

MattyC

Here are some new pics of my Black 2.8. Since the last photos i have fitted black vents and grills, fitted coilovers and add 25mm spacers to the rears! All in all i am pretty happy with the look!
Let me know what you think, any comments welcome!
Matt

MattyC

I am i being stupid but what kind of bulbs are they? can i get them done halfords?

MattyC

Here are some photos before i had it lowered and with out rear spacers!

I have a set of replica 18'' csl style alloys on my black 2.8! I have just had coilovers fitted and i have rear spacers on aswell! No problems with clearance etc. I'll post some photos later today hopefully, i am awat to play around with the ride height, again!!!!!!!! :head: P.s, i might be thinking...

MattyC

Looking good Oggy! Loving the front bumper, where did u pick that up? I am looking to do something with mine! Are u from Turriff?

MattyC

Thanks risquenun!

managed to do it just as it got dark! Just need to sort out the reception in the back of my stereo now!!!!!!

MattyC

No use! Already tried this one!
Right area but can't really see the ariel due to the pump!!

Hi Guys and Girls! I have just been trying to fit a new Aerial and Aerial base to my Z (mine came with a metal one for some reason) and i am having trouble working out where the bracket that holds the base in place attaches to the bodywork of the car!? :head: Could anyone take a photo of this area t...

MattyC

Hi Stuz I am also based in aberdeen and looking to get a remap done on my 2.8! There is a place in Fife i think that a lot of the VW guys go 2, Star Performance. I am yet to contact them about if they can do a Z3 remap. There are a few national companies that will travel to you but i think at a cost...

MattyC

I got some on my Z! Just the german style metal plates but with the GB instead of the D! The company i got the last set from offer you the choice but i had the ones on with the D's on 2 VW's before! Yet to be stopped for them! I car my original ones in the boot incase and if i get stopped i'll just ...

MattyC

Yeah thats what i thought!
Do you know how much roughly an allround ACS setup would cost?
Thanks

MattyC

Having chatted to my mechanic i decided against coilovers! The cheapest ones i have seen are JAMEX ones for about £380! I'd rather spend that on a good set of springs and shockers as i don't really have a need for coilovers! So decent set of springs and shocks, lowering about 30mm for £300 Is it pos...

MattyC

Actually, it doesn't look to bad compaired to some of the other ones! http://www.rarecars.org/ :D This is pretty 'different' :shock: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Other-Makes-Concept-Car-Lexus-Minority-Report-Movie-Concept-Car-AWESOME_W0QQitemZ280089688738QQcategoryZ6472QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmd...

Don't think i have spotted this one on here yet so i thought i'd post it up!

Bizarre!

MattyC

Nice one ben! Your Zed is looking very sweet! Where did you get ACS suspension from and how much?
On a different subject where did you get your front lower spolier from, really like it!

matt

MattyC

After replacing the rear top mounts the rattle is still coming from my suspension somewhere, the front suspension bottoms out far to easily and when i go over bumps its really noisy and uncomfortible! All in all i think my shocks / suspension are FCUKed! So i think i am as well replacing all four sh...

MattyC

Yeah! It is one of those horrible self-extend things! I realised it isn't as easy as unscrew and replace!?!

MattyC

Hey Guys n girls!
I am looking to replace the aerial on my 99 preface lift Z3. At the moment i have got the rather old skool looking metal lump! How do i go about replacing it for something more in keeping the the car!?
Thanks
Matt

MattyC

I think they are the rear lights, the red & clear M style ones were standard on some models? Mine were a after market purchase!

MattyC

no seriously, they never taught you anything about angles and stuff! Just try the camera on the ground trick and you'll all be doing it! ha ha!

MattyC

Ha ha! Thanks guys! I did study photography as part of my graphic design course but they don't really teach anything apart from exposures etc! Do you want to know my secret????? :wink: ...................well, its just a simple as put your camera on the floor, the ground acts as a really good balanc...

MattyC

I do think that the chrome gills bring out the wheels a bit!?! Yeah it kinda does look like a model in that photo! Need to get myself a new camera with more megapixles! :head: Thats the only downside about these wheels, i would prefer the wider rears! Looks a little 'wimpy' from behind! :oops: Matt

MattyC

There was a custom stainless steel exhaust on it all ready (i think!?) Its quite noisy and a lot noiser than my friends Z3m! I was thinking of stealthing it out a little, getting rid of the chrome kidneys and vents!? Anybody got photoshop to see what it would look like!? The wheels weren't expensive...

MattyC

Thanks guys! Yeah they are 18'' M3 CSL replicas! Think the real deal only come in 19 which is too big IMO! I have ordered spacers to take the backs out a little and i am still undecided about the crome vents! I really like the look of the M ones but i know its frowned upon putting them on plus the a...

MattyC

Its been a while since i posted some pics so i though after giving it a good clean at the weekend it would be rude not 2 take some pics!

MattyC

Yeah i heard about the wire harness in the boot, i did have a quick look at it before and it looked okay but maybe i will take a closer look! The interior light works when i turn it on but if i have it set in the standard position it normally doesn't work when i open the door, i think it will random...

MattyC

I was just wondering if it was some kinda electrical problem in that area, my interior light has been playing up and i thought it could be related!?!

MattyC

The LED in between the seats? It doesn't do anything! I have never seen it light up at all!

Yeah the old key LED now lights up when you press the buttons!
Is the Alarm sensor on the rear view mirror?

MattyC

Just nipped down to B&Q and replaced the battery in the old key but no joy whats so ever!

MattyC

Just this minute in from my garage trying to sort this! Tried it again, Put key in ignition position 0, turn to 1 briefly Take key out and press and hold button 1 Quickly press button 2 three times. LED light flashes 10 times but the locks don't go! I got the new key from the guy i bought the car fr...

MattyC

Yeah it is the later key/remote in one! I have two keys, an old one that the red light doesn't light up on and a brand new one that works fine! Tried the re-programming and the key light flashes as the handbook says but the doors don't lock/unlock like they say they should!

MattyC

I have the later one with the 3 buttons actually on the key, one big 'lock' one and two smaller buttons!
Matt

MattyC

The alarm and remote locking haven't been working on my Zed since i got it! The previous owner got a replacement key and i have tried to re-programme in according to the handbook but to no avail! The central locking works fine with the key in the lock but otherwise nothing else! My mechanic suggeste...
