No not really it wont make much difference if any, i would just go with an aftermarket panel filter ie K&N or Piper only reason for a induction kit on a 1.9 would be for the noise it makes. A panel filter and a free flowing exhaust and manifold and then a remap might make 10 to 15 bhp (this is j...

I know this might create a backlash but from my experience, EBC pads are a bit naff! If you want good pads use either Mintex extreme or Ferrodo Ds2500 or Ds3000. I have tried all these pads including EBC and the Ferrodo and Mintex pads are league,s ahead. I admit they are not cheap but they are by f...

Hi john what size discs do you have as standard? I have a 3.0 z3 they have 300mm discs and massive calipers this could be an option for an upgrade i find my 3.0 stops very well with these big discs.

Hi not sure but it is different to the early ones to remove its a little harder it has no screws holding air bag in just spring clips inside and two small holes at the back of the wheel its a bit like key hole surgery! You have to slip a long thin flat head screwdriver in at right angle and feel aro...

Try and get a 3.0 if possible best bang for bucks, unless you can afford a lovely M. :D Gearbox can suffer from rough gear changes but that should not put you off they dont all have this problem and you can do things to sort this out. Ive had my 3.0 for a year now and its been great, very reliable a...

when cars run of the production line they dont rolling road every car it would be suicide for the company, my engine in my Z3 is the 3.0 which they put into the 3 series the 5 series the x series and the Z3 the map for all these cars with this engine are probably the same. by having you car remaped ...

jayson f

When the cars leave the factory they have a base map for european conditions , ie fuel octane ect all a remap does is release the power the engine has from the factory its not magic! These are mass produced engines churned out by the thousands, BMW have targets to hit and one of them is not refining...

Brembo are very good, they are one of the leaders in performance brake parts. Large car companys like porsche and ferrari use Brembo brake discs and calipers you cant go far wrong with these.

when you take the belt off try the tensioner pulley it should be free running and not sound like a skateboard over gravel!! I changed my belt recently and while i was at it checked the tensioner wheel it sounded a bit noisy so i went to the main dealer this was a big mistake as they wanted £130 OUCH...

Yes, size does matter to some people - but have they ever thought about the resultant ride quality, or the rik of rim damage on the Uk's pothole-strewn roads? I doubt if any of them have ever exceeded the grip offered by a standard wheel, and probably only drive in town anyway. It depends on if you...

Im thinking about making a mould of these from glassfibre, i could them make a set in about 2 hours rather than a full day.
