When I had my tracking ‘done,’ the guy said it was ok and didn’t charge me anything. At least you know then that it’s is ok.

Re: Z3 sills.....
Most people seem to buy new from the dealers as buying secondhand is difficult.
The last price I heard was about £157 each.

Welcome ask away with any questions, I’m sure someone on here will be able to answer them.
You can get a reset tool for the abs light of eBay for very little money. It is sometimes the yellow connection under the seat that is rusty or come unplugged.

While the seat is still connected to the power, try operating the forward switch, and try and pull the seat forward while sitting on the seat. Then go backwards in the same manner. Keep going forwards and back and the seat may move under the power of the motor. The motor just sticks as it doesn’t ge...

Re: Engine oil Z3 M
The more offen you change the oil the better it is for the engine. I also don’t do a lot of miles each year, but I change the oil every year, regardless of how small the mileage is from the previous year.
If you change it yourself it makes the oil change a lot cheaper as well.
