I used Opie Oils after reading some reviews regarding BMW oils for g/box and diff. You can search your car and see the selection of oils available
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/

These can be purchased from Eurocarparts as front indicators part numbers 477110380 and 47110390 at £31-71 each. I ordered them on line and picked them up at the local branch that afternoon.

Many thanks Brian, the test will be when the weather gets warm and the additional cooling is required.
Thx again,

On my 2001 2.2 Z3, I'm led to believe that when the AC is switched on, the fan forward of the radiator should be running...mine doesn't. Can anyone confirm this to be the case and, if so, what would the reasons be for not running.

Be great to join you all on the day. Looking forward to it!
Thx

Count me in, looks like a great route for the day

Just thought, I'm in Derby, near Markeaton Park, so if you want to hear and see mine drop me a line. Nige

Hi, The system was around £350 if memory serves me right. Give them a ring and ask if they have one in stock, as they only keep low stock levels and ask what discount they will give. I even mentioned the club and the guy gave me what seemed like a trade price as I picked it up. The build quality is ...

I fitted the complete exhaust system from the cats back....love the deep throat noise this exhaust makes. I went to Scorpian in Ripley and bought the exhaust from them direct as I wanted to see what it looked like...even got a discount. Fitted fantastic and sits perfectly on the car.

Hi David, I have the exact same car and from the same year. I recently changed the V grooved alternator drive belt for similar reasons (whirring noise which seemed to get louder). On removing the old belt and bending it, it was obvious there were thousands of little cracks where the rubber had aged....

Brilliant photography and looks soo good in B&W....my favourite media.
Well done Dave and thanks for sharing them with us, hope you haven't set a bench mark.
These would look great in the next calender.

Hi, Before you go to spending lots of money, replace the brake light switch as this controls the roof opening mechanism. The roof won't open or close unless you are stopped and it needs the brakes on to confirm this (hence the switch must work), it may also explain why you have no brake lights. As t...

Having owned my Z3 for about a year, I have spent most of the time trying to cure the dreaded tramlining effect and jittering on uneven road surfaces. To that end I went the polybush route, followed by the strut brace and the usual "make sure the tyre pressure is right". Unfortunately all ...

Be aware that these hoods come with a fixed rear window, not the usual zip in type that BMW supply. If it comes to having the rear window replaced in years to come it is much more expensive as the window has to be sewn in and neccesitates removing the hood from the car. Thought you should be prewarn...

Hello and Welcome,
Silver seems a pretty good choice to me....but I could be biased!!
Enjoy

I've had my 2.2 for around 6 months and am totally satisfied with the car. I was looking for the straight six as my Son and Son in law both work for BMW and had both said it was the engine of choice, regardless of CC. I spent nearly 3 months looking at everything on the market before making my final...

Hi, I have a Titanium Silver Z3 (2001) and could do with touching up a couple of areas under the bonnet. Does anyone know where to obtain the light grey paint I need? I can't even get hold of the paint code to be able to order or have some mixed....I'm sure someone will know as we seem to have a vas...

It cost £400 and I collected it, however Roadrunner in Notts are doing the same exhaust for £418 delivered. I have heard a Scorpion and it isn't boy racer, but more touring sports car growl. The one I heard sounded like an Aston Martin type growl and I fell for it straight away....hence £400 lighter...

Hi, I'm in the process of fitting a Scorpion stainless steel exhaust (cat back) which I bought direct from Scorpion at Codner in Derbyshire. Unfortunately getting the nuts undone on the flange joint has resulted in cutting them of with my Dremel. I have purchased stainless bolts and copper plated nu...

Looking for an M44 1.9 16 valve engine for my daughters car. The head has been damaged on hers and a full engine wiould be easier to install.
We live in Derby, but can collect.
Many thanks

I'm having my seats treated in a couple of weeks by the "leatherman" who comes into the BMW dealership where my Son works. I'm assured that the process is very time consuming and requires the seats to be spotless before he will commence work. Apparently it takes him as long to clean the se...
