Hi guys need some more help with my 97 Z3 heater blower.I managed to change the motor but I still have problems :head: .I purchased a new resistor from BMW and installed it in may of this year ,it was all fine until the fuse just started to blow about a week ago.I have tested on speed 4 and 3 and th...
Thanks for that but I am so confused.I took the part of the car today and got the Bosch part number 0130111110 but looks different to the one in your link.I've had a good look round on web havin a job finding the exact part.
Hi guys some help is needed please.I am trying to get hold of a heater blower motor for my Z. I have replaced the resistor and everything was working fine for the last 6 months.If you switch on with a new fuse and run it on say speed 3 then put it down to 2 the fuse blows.Winters coming upon on soon...
Had no luck with the soldering it lasted a few days a tbh I'm not the greatest solder :).After entering my chassiss No into real oem I ordered the new resistor only to find it's the wrong one. Finally got the right one then fitted it in only 25 mins 8-) Now the problem is it's still blowing the 30 a...
I checked the part number on the real oem and ordeded it came the next day.I stripped it down really easy only to find the part is the wrong one.On inspection of the the one I removed I found it to be a little corroded and one of the springs had become detached.So I've cleaned it all up and re-solde...
Can anyone please help. The blower switch in my 97 1.9 z3 fuse keeps goin. I've noticed tho that the blower switch works on position No 4 only. Would it be that a new switch is gonna be needed or could it be something else.
Thanks in advance
well I never.I wouldn't have believed it but thanks to bennyboy1, I finally got round to doin the oil service and the starting problem has gone .would't have thought an oil service would make any difference but its fixed

Thanks in advance

Been on phone to sytner Leicester £199 for insp 1 on my 3 series. E46 has a promotion on at the moment,I then questioned about the £419 insp 1 for my Z and basically age of car and no promotions on that vehicle so it is what it is.
Happy new year to all !!!!
Well carnt believe you were quoted nearly half the price from sytner Coventry. I also called leicester they wanted £419. They took my chassis number as did Cov and were absolutey positive it was an inspection 1 for my 1.9 m44 BLACK Z3 lol. Neadless to say I am buying reset tool and all the stuff to ...
That's a good price. I spoke with sytner BMW Coventry today and just about fell over when they told me how much lol £427.92 !!!!!! How much, I asked if this was for an inspection 2 ,, no sir she replied defo inspection 1.Considering the age of the car don't know if it's worth buying a reset tool and...
Hi I am after some 17" alloys for my 97 z3.Good condition with good tyres although I will consider with bad ones. Only reason I want to change as mine need refurb and carnt be bothered with the hassle
i had powerflow 2 months ago and tbh it was toooooooo loud for me so I returned and they fitted another small silencer and is now sweet.well worth the money
Thanks for that .going on the above I think they might stick out a little bit so might see if I can find some Z3 wheels.But I will look into it further before making a decision.
Thanks
Im looking at a set of new alloys from a Z4 for my 97 Z3 will these fit. I keep reading about offsets but dont know what this means.The once ive looked at have an offset of 34 front and 32 rear what does this mean and if they are no good what kind of offset will I need.Thanks in advance,
Dave
I've been all over net still carn't find an answer to this problem. Everything I comes up as camshaft sensor. The garage I use fitted a new one and it was faulty so he sent it back. I drove for over a week with the old one back in but left disconnected. The new one arrived faults cleared but made no...
Yeah thanks for that. I've really only had the problem since having the head gasket replaced. Used to be fine before.just wondering if any dirt got into injectors and once running it moves around to give clearance for fuel. Stab in the dark really lol
Z3 costing me an absolute fortune at the moment with having new coolant system,head gasket,head skim and new cam sensors.Runs fantastic once started but when cold it sounds like an old steam engine begging for more coal :head: .I need somone to point me in the right direction of getting this problem...
pattern cat back exhaust.This has been on the car for approx 4 weeks so is as new only selling after changing my mind and going for a stainless.
£50+postage
Im based in the midlands so more than welcome to pick up if you like.
Dave
Tiptopperformance I would defo recommend. Had new cat back fitted yesterday fitted in less than 2 hrs £250. Great friendly service. Only thing is cash is a bit tight at the mo so its a little loud for me not excessive but I will be going back to get the noice reduced.
£140 OE is correct.I found the part on flea bay £35 and just had to have it sprayed All I did is kept checking breakers yards and flea bay end one will turn up. Sorry for the double post

Thanks for that.Managed to get a look today and found the problem.Front wheel brake sencor wire come loose rubbed on the wheel and worn the wire away little job for the morning reconnecting.

Can anyone tell me please why my brake warning light flashes when going over a bumpy surface. I checked fluid that's all ok. Does the warning light give you a silly amount of time before your pads have actually worn.
Thanks in advance.
Im looking for some 17" wheels( must be OE)with good tyres.Really after some 5 spoke not to expensive.
OR a loan set while I get mine refurbed.
Its a bit of a mare at the mo cos my tyres keep going down wear the alloy is losing the paint round the rims.
