Well spotted, it hasn't now

Hi, Selling my beloved Z3 due to personal circumstances...... P Reg 1.9 73,000 miles BMW MV2 Alloys Sony Bluetooth Head Unit Heated Seats Clear side repeaters Halo clear headlights Black kidney grill All the usual Spec In really good condition Things wrong with the car - Centre cap missing from one ...

Beaker

Hmm, strange, I can't find any on eBay at all. It's not the sticker part in the middle, it's the full plastic cover

Beaker

Hey,

I have a missing centre cap from my mv2 18" wheels, I didn't buy these wheels, they came with the car. Anyone know where I could source a replacement centre cap?

Cheers.

Beaker

wow, i must have a really old one lol.

ok, i'll get the battery suggested and see if that does the job.

Cheers folks

Beaker

I was going to just change both, i've had the car 6 years, it's a 1997 so i suspect neither have ever been changed.

Best just to do both at once. The little coin one has nothing written on it at all, pain in the ar$e lol

Beaker

Cheers for that, i'll ebay it

What's the other one? The little coin shaped battery?

Beaker

Hey,

My key fob died, batteries have no info written on them. Anyone know what batteries are required?
There are two in the key fob and it's the old separate one, not on the key it's self.

Any info appreciated

Beaker

Mv2 alloy wheels refurbished, £265 from wheel pro Scotland in Glasgow. Very happy with their handy work and service

Beaker

Cheers for that. Yeah I've had an eye on eBay UK for ages and there's not been any came up.

Beaker

ha ha

no worries.

I'll see what the seller comes back with, surely someone on these forums has bought a set.
This place is easily the best resource on the web for zed knowledge

I spend waaaaaay too much time browsing here

Beaker

Yeah, it does say they have horizontal and vertical adjustment.

I've dropped the seller a question

First dibs btw lol

Beaker

There's a set of angel eyes on ebay, from the states. Has anyone bought a pair of these? I'd like a set on my 96 zed and wondered if they'd be legal and easy to fit. I was going to go down the detango, headlights in oven route but tbh, i can't be arsed and was worried i'd damage the headlights. http...

Beaker

Call me tight but £300 for wing mirrors...!!!???

Are there any alternatives to the M mirrors out there or a non oem replica?

Beaker

I've been hunting for a set if these for a wee while now and not finding any.

Are these as rare as hens teeth and super expensive when a pair do appear?

Cracking looking mirrors though

Beaker

I put in new plugs at the weekend, switched to super unleaded and bought the bits and bobs to Fogg the airbox.

Feels a wee bit better already.

Beaker

Are you still looking?

Beaker

It was £106, PM me an offer

Beaker

Sounds right. Oem is zipped in place and a flange, which is on the hood is glued in place to seal from rain.
On oem tops, the zip is visible from the inside, though there is no zipper, it's supplied with the replacement window.

Beaker

If you're interested, I could sell you the window I got on eBay that I can't return.

It wasnt a great fit on my car but you may have better luck.

Beaker

Yeah I think I'll just need to settle on the power I have as I can't afford to change car. Think I'll turn my attention to exterior styling, a set of angel eye headlights and m mirrors would also be sweet. I may, as was suggested earlier on this thread, tinker with the handling as well. Need a wee p...

Beaker

What's the deal with exhausts from a legal stance? I've got a custom stainless steel back section but manifold and cat are standard. What can I replace at the front to make my zed breathe a bit better. The guy at the custom shop said I could replace the lot with stainless steel and he'd cut the cat ...

Beaker

I got one from a guy on here, I posted a wanted ad. It's an OEM one, don't get anything but BMW.

The ebay guy art-design-munster isn't answering any of my ebay messages and therefore I don't think he wants to offer a refund.
Avoid all non OEM windows imho

Beaker

I'd love to say yes but i think you need to take your headlights apart. This is fairly similar to what I have. There's installation instructions in the box but you need to take your headlamps out the car, open them up and glue these in place. If you like tinkering and DIY, it save the £300 (roughly)...

Beaker

I have a set of CCFL angle eyes for a 96/04 Z3.

Purchased on eBay and never installed em.
Cost £30, looking for £15 + PP

Beaker

Cheers folks.

I've looked at the air filter box mod and might start there.

Thanks everyone

Beaker

Ill take some magic beans thanks :-) Cheers folks, part of me would like to change to a bigger engine zed but I've had my car since 14000 miles and it's really reliable. Better the devil you know, ive changed car in the past and ended up worse off. I also don't have the money to change car at the mo...

Beaker

I've got a 1.9 96/97 zed, it's really a bit slow, anything I can do about it?

I was looking at a chip, anyone tried these?

Beaker

Thanks everyone, I'm now sorted out with a replacement OEM window.
Another win for the forums

Beaker

Couldn't agree more but being Scottish, i've got a stereotype of being tight with money to uphold

Beaker

Hoping that someone has a spare Z3 rear window tucked away in their loft somewhere for my 96/97 Z3.

Or, if anyone can source one for cheaper than the £225 i've been quoted from my local BMW garage?

Cheers and fingers crossed

Beaker

Thanks Andy, i've emailed the ebay seller but haven't had any response, looks like i'll need to open an ebay case

Contacted my local BMW garage today, £225 for an OEM window. That seems steep compared to what others are saying?

Beaker

Yeah, i tried lining it up lots of different ways, tried all the recommended ways and experimented with a few as well. Yip, was a chap in Munster I got it from. I'll drop him a mail tomorrow. Thanks for the advice, these forums are the most useful zed resource on the web :-) Maybe a recommended reta...

Beaker

Yip, that's the instructions I followed. To be honest, I think the window I bought was the problem, it came with all the fitting equipment needed and I followed the guide above but it never sat right after several attempts and lining the zipper up a few teeth in each direction each time I fitted the...

Beaker

I really want one of these hardtops. I've tried to contact Hamann directly but get nothing back from them. So if someone manages to get hold of one of these hardtops, i'd be very interested to hear the story, or if you manage to get hold of anyone who sells them. This adds fuel to my desire :-) It's...

Beaker

So, in January I managed to put a guitar amp through my zeds back window (don't ask). I purchased a replacement window on eBay that came from Germany, not an OEM part. After hours of toil, i managed to get it fitted but the plastic always had a ripple in it, I wasn't too happy with it but could live...

Beaker

Now sold

Beaker

Thanks Craig.

For peeps on here, i might do it a little cheaper

It's all about the community...!!

PM me if interested.

FS: 57-0446 K&N PERFORMANCE INTAKE KIT BMW Z3 1.9L 1996-2003 I'm selling a brand new K&N 57i kit for a BMW z3. The box has been opened but it's never been fitted to my car. The kit number is 0446 so check out K&N website to ensure correct model for your car before buying (I didn't). Here...

Beaker

Hey,

My rear window burst tonight in my 96 Z3.
Can anyone recommend where i can get a replacement? Some going on eBay but good to always get some recommendations from this community first

Thanks

Beaker

I'm guessing not as they prob weren't fitted standard. Are they equally hard to get a hold of?

Beaker

Total shot in the dark here but i'm looking for a z3 hardtop within reasonable distance from Glasgow. I am prepared to travel maybe 3 to 4 hours to collect and have a van to uplift.

Had my z3 for 4 years and really fancy a hardtop. Colour doesn't matter.

Thanks.

Beaker

Hi, I started the job of refurbing my wing mirrors as described here http://www.zroadster.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16269 When removing the 4 allan key bolts behind the mirror, the ones that hold the housing together, the same allan key head on each side was stripped/badly corroded. So far i've been...

Beaker

Hey, I've been thinking on shelling out on a hardtop on eBay, or here if anyone is selling. From what I can make out i'd be looking at £500 for the top and £250 for a fitting kit. Are they worth the money? Do they look good? I've got a black Z3 1.9. If you've got any pics of your zed with a hardtop ...

Beaker

Hi,

I have a damaged MV3 alloy wheel, looking for a replacement.

Cheers.

Beaker

This is a common Z3 problem. Follow this link to a thread with details of how to refurb your mirror bases; http://www.zroadster.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16269&highlight=mirror+base+refurb It is also not uncommon for the mirror head to snap off when you try to twist them to get at the screws th...

Beaker

Hi, The section between the rubber seal and my door mirror, on both sides of the car, is bubbling really badly and needs replaced. It seems this section can't be renewed on it's own and i need to buy the full mirror unit. Anyone know where I could pick up a set of new mirrors at a reasonable price? ...

Beaker

Due to a recent argument with a pot hole, my z3 is in need of a replacement 17" MV2 alloy wheel.

Same as this one http://www.andysalloyrepair.com/Best%20 ... 0_0873.JPG

Anyone have one for sale, know where i can get one?

Thanks in advance for any help

Beaker

Hi,

I'm looking for a replacement BMW cassette player for my Z3, doesn't need to be the one with changer function in fact i'd prefer it wasn't.

Obviously needs to come with the security code etc.
Hopefully someone out there's got one

Thanks

Beaker

I'll call my local BMW tomorrow and get a price.

I'll let you know
