Re: Z3 M parts clear-out *** EVERYTHING REDUCED ***

Hi mate,

Do you still have the roof?

If so I'd be interested, just would like to see a few pictures of the rear around the window.

If you let me know where about you are I might be able to collect and pay cash.

Thanks,

Phoned the fuzz to speak with an traffic officer and he said as long as the HID kit is 'EU' marked then it is legal. Levelling as washers are only required or Xeon lamps.

Hi guys,

Been trying to find either an UK source or dimensions and material type to make my own.

Any body know?

The kit comes with a new rear lid and compartment as it is reduced in size. When I upgraded mine I found the most expensive part was actually the mounts for chasis and not the plastic covers themselves.

If you want some parts to 'test' on I have the old non-roll hoop parts still.

Replacing speed sensor

I found that my digital speed, trip, etc. were always out. Most times I would be doing 50+MPH and the speed on my digital clock would read 5-25MPH. The speed on my cluster was fine. Below is the location of the sensor, this is on the rear of the differential: http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/yy248...

The pads just sit on metal supports. They slide on and off, depends how old they are and how much dirty will depend how hard they are to take off but pulling down and rotating will get them off.

Two questions really:

1) are the air bag systems, like the one I currently have universal and fit the new wheel if it is dual stage.

2) if I did fit it and it wasn't compatible is there anyway to make it failover to a single stage.

Thanks,

Hi guys,

Does anyone know if this wheel will fit a 1997 Z3?

BMW have said they don't list it, however the steering collum is the same as the 2000 REG it is coming off. The only difference is the lock and ignition position.

I appear to be having one of those months... :-(

My car now seems to fluctuate when idling, regardless if in neutral or putting the clutch down at low revs.

Doesn't seem to change regardless of length driving. Someone has said to me it is the cyclone valve.

Any ideas at all guys?
