Taxed my roadster on 1st April, was hoping for a few months driving before selling the car this summer, due to dog and wife both not fitting in the car, wife didn't like being left at home all weekend!! She nearly made me sell it last year, but I resisted and had one more enjoyable summer. However o...

Thanks Titan, have just done that. Not sure if it will work on latest photos I have just posted but hopefully will on the photos of Grimsel and Furka pass that I post later. Was an awesome drive and got some good pics.

Kentzroadster

Now I have my photo issues sorted, here is a few more photos from the trip. After our stay in Millau we set off for Cannes (took a slight detour via coastal roads). Once in Cannes we rested the car for a few days and spent some time on the beach and exploring Cannes. After a couple of days we then s...

Should now be looking ok guys?? Thanks for help, it was be viewing them on my ipad. On laptop they looked fine. opps.

Kentzroadster

Hope it goes well Billz I loved ours.

Titan I did paste as you suggest, but as you can see from one you have pasted it cuts off right side of picture.

Kentzroadster

How do I post bigger pictures, I have used IMG thumbs normal IMG cut side of pics off!?!

I have just returned from an amazing 11 days driving my Z3 around Europe. Below are some pictures of our drive down to the South of France, including Monte Carlo and a drive up Col de Turini. Into Italy for a stay at Lake Como (diverting to Milan), upto Switzerland for a drive over the Grimsel pass,...

Kentzroadster

I am soon to have my MV2's I purchased for my Z3 a few months ago refurbished.

I am a little confused what finish to have though? What is the standard finish these wheels have?

I have seen lots of different finishes advertised - hyper chrome, mirror, painted - very confusing!

Kentzroadster

I have a 1.9 Z3 and in July am doIng a euro tour to south France and up through Italy and Switzerland. I brought some new alloys a few months back and they have cheap foreign tyres on them and was considering upgrading before I set off on long trip. Wheels are 245/40/18 on rear and 245/40/18 on fron...

I am currently trying to decide between route napoleons which would probably include gorges du verdon or down to Millau and going across and under the amazing bridge. I probably won't have time to do both, if I do Millau I can then do a drive along south coast to Menton or Monte Carlo. Thoughts peop...

Kentzroadster

Wow - thanks guys I cant wait to get started now!!!

Might have to divert to Millau and that Champagne B&B looks very nice!!! We are going to spend a few days in Rhiems so we can really enjoy the champagne!!!

Kentzroadster

Thanks all and for route tips desiro.

Think route napoleon is route was thinking of, other tips are good and will try and build them in.

Kentzroadster

Just a simple 1.9 - only had it a year but love it!!! Driving to south France via Grenoble. Few days down there before heading up to Milan via monte Carlo. Few days in lake como, then up to Switzerland via grimsel pass then through Switzerland to Rheims before heading up to Calais. 11 days all in an...

Silly question - but these fit the pre facelift z3 don't they?

Kentzroadster

Thanks. Tape measure out this weekend, mine is pre facelift.

Kentzroadster

Hi, i think mine are 8j on front ET 47 and 8.5j on back ET50. I am running 225/40/18 and 245/40/18, I was thinking of 5mm on front and 10mm on back but guess I may be able to go for a bit more, i need to have a closer look when get car out of garage.

Kentzroadster

Thanks guys. Do I have to go with hub centric if only getting 5mm or maybe 10 on back?

Nice wheels Heath, they are what I have purchased.

Kentzroadster

I am thinking of getting some spacers for my 1.9 to push the wheels out a bit to fill the arches. If I do will I need to get longer wheels nuts?

Kentzroadster

I have just jumped started my 1.9, car started and all was good. However as I disconnected jump positive cable the battery connector came away from battery. The car spluttered a bit and I tried to push back on quick. The car now just won't start even with jump leads. It turns over (clicking noise) b...

I posted this on performance forum a few days ago. I am looking to get a new exhaust for my 1.9, I would like something that has a bit of a sporty growl and that looks nice, possible a twin pipe. Can you suggest anywhere in the Kent area? Would a custom made exhaust be my best choice? Do I need to r...

I am looking to get a new exhaust for my 1.9, I would like something that has a bit of a sporty growl and that looks nice, possible a twin pipe. Can you suggest anywhere in the Kent area? Would a custom made exhaust be my best choice?

I have quite a limited budget as well!!!

Kentzroadster

My order is in.

Guess I could remove those rather attractive mud flaps now?!?! I was thinking of keeping front ones but with these they wont be needed will they?

Anyone else have mud flaps? Mine came with them, not sure if I like them or not.

Hi, I have a 1.9 pre face lift, skinny version! :) I have just fitted, yesterday in fact a set of 18 inch mv2's. Mine were 225/40/18 front and 245/40/18 rear. I found out the important thing is the off set. Mine are front 47, rear 50. They fill the arches nice, will get some pictures up soon. Mine a...

Kentzroadster

I have just purchased my new wheels, nice 18 inch mv2's the front wheels have few kerbing marks and some flaking. Can anyone recommend a decent company in maidstone/kent area to repair? Can I just have front wheels repaired or should I have total refurb of all 4 wheels to stop Mis match in colouring?

Kentzroadster

Any idea if will fit 1.9 pre facelift? Are they easy to fit?

Kentzroadster

Hi, do you still have rear lights? Will they fit 1.9 per face lift. R plate?

Kentzroadster

Thanks Mrwhippy, they look nice. Best colour car as well!

Kentzroadster

Mine are going to have an ET of 47 and 50 will they be too inset?

Kentzroadster

Thanks, what width tyres/wheels have you got?

Kentzroadster

Thanks, tape measure out tonight then! The set I am hoping to get now are 245/40/18 so that should help.

Kentzroadster

How far out are they allowed to stick out on back?

Sorry to sound stupid what do spigots do then? Hold them tighter on hub?

Kentzroadster

Will I need spigot rings and spacers? Or just spigot rings?
Is this because the hub size is different?

Kentzroadster

Thank you for your help. Your Z looks great. My project starts this year, on a smaller scale though.

Kentzroadster

The wheels i am after are off a 320d coupe, having been on google these look like they are 8x18 ET47 and 8.5x18 ET50.

Do you think these will fit my z3? I don't have the wide arches some Z's seem to have?

Kentzroadster

Thanks, that saved me getting some that would not fit!! Can ET be too high? Seen some BMW alloys with 47 and 50?

Also what is tyre stretch?

Kentzroadster

The ones I have my eye on are apparently IS20 front and IS22 rear.

Not got an ET number from seller?!? Do these make sense?

Kentzroadster

I have a pre facelift 1997 1.9 Z3.
I am looking to replace the standard 16 inch alloys with some new bigger wheels. Will 18 inch wheels fit without too any problems?

Also I have seen a nice set of MV2 alloys but rear wheels have 255/35/18 tyres (fronts are 225/40/18) are rear wheels too wide?

Kentzroadster

Will these not fit a Z3 1.9 (1996) without any problems?

Kentzroadster

Thanks anyone know if these easy to install?

Kentzroadster

I have just purchased a 1997 z3, and am loving it!!! I am however looking to do a bit of work on it but am not very mechanical!!! I would like a wind deflector, I do not have roll hoops. The deflectors I have looked at seem to need taking out parts of interior or screwing and bolting in. Are there a...

Kentzroadster

I have similar problem, am getting it looked at next week. Where can I get key? Could save me some money!

Kentzroadster

Thanks, I will keep a look out. Once you have them I will definitely order one.

Kentzroadster

Do you have any bare aluminium ones left?
