As an avid camping fan I've been thinking how much camping equipment would a Z3 hold? Great article and looking at photo's now I know.
All needed now is a map some factor 25 and a tilley hat, I can almost smell the summer.
Serious food for thought cheers. :) :) :)

tyres

The trouble when looking for tyres is the shear choice and the variation in price for the same brand and quality.I set a buget of £500 for a set fitted it seams alot, but with 190 bhp there the only thing keeping you on the road. In the end I settled on Continental contact sport 3 225/45-245/40 17&q...

Rattle

Before rebuilding car check the basics. Spare wheel tray,spare wheel,battery if in boot isn't loose ,tool tray ,the jack makes a nice rattle even with strap and then is it worse or quieter on different road surfaces.It is amazing how a little rattle sounds so loud when driving.

Z3 2.0 upgrade

My first post .
There's no escaping CC. Which ever engine mods used it never runs quite right. Very noisy, flat spot,heavy on fuel,etc. Bite the bullit change to a 2.8-3.0 car
