Well, I'm sad to say that my Z3 was sold yesterday and I've moved on to a Z4. We've had great fun over the past couple of years with the Z3 which was fantastic for a 16 yr old car. I'm sure the new owner will be more than happy with her and our 'Z' experience convinced us that we'd always want some ...

My Audi A7 went back after 2 years on lease, sad to see it go as it was a great big car but time to move on. Been toying with the idea of 'downsizing' for a few months now, decided "what the hell, your only middle aged once", and ordered an M135i in Estoril Blue. Was due to have it deliver...

Love the colour, really suits the car.

All BMW Z3 diffs are noisy...It's one of the defining aspects of the car. Other than checking the correct oil to diff type spec, I would suggest you use the thicker anyhow...it'll soften the volume, and still provide the protection required. You can also slightly raise the rear end when filling and...

Went to change the oil today (for the 1st time since I've had the car) thinking it'd be a breeze and found the following issues: Drain plug will be a major pita to reach (2.8 M52) I can't fit anything under the car to catch the old oil !

On the 2.8 (and other models I presume) the car with either be Single Vanos or Dual Vanos. The Dual Vanos cars are newer and flatter across the top of the engine making it easier to fit a strut brace. The raised gubbins you are referring to suggest that your car is a Single Vanos (same as mine) so y...

I got this as part of a rear roll hoop assembly but as I don't listen to much music when driving I didn't install them in the car. It's basically the Harmon Kardon subwoofer and satellite speakers for the rear of the car. I will include the brackets to mount the sub to the roll hoop mountings. Insta...

Sorry to hear about your predicament. Personally speaking I think your M is one of the nicest I've seen so you may be lucky and sell it irrespective of the Cat D status, although I would expect you to have to reduce the price accordingly. I'm not a fan of some of the interior colour combos that lots...

Snap ! Looks like you had better weather than me

I've seen posts stating 7 hours for the job but based on yours & my time looks like 3hrs is a better estimate.

I've fitted Roll Hoops so this no longer fits. Comes with everything you need to fit onto a non-roll hoop equipped car. Makes a huge difference when driving with the top down. Looking for £90 which includes delivery. https://m8fkfq.dm1.livefilestore.com/y2pv-5-bWpv6u4j1yDiJwTb8GZna-BVsFcaHVigdf033Po...

Only took 3 hrs and most of that was faffing about with the Centre Console ! Happy with the finished results and now have some bits'n'bobs to sell. Got the original net windbreak including brackets and turrent tops and the HK Subwoofer which I didn't use. Will be appearing in the Stock Exchange soon...

Very nice...Green/Beige are a classic combo.

Not sure about using the sub...will depend on whether my car is pre-wired for this. Any idea if this is part of the standard loom ?

I have the exact same problem with a genuine VDO sensor & gauge on my M Gauge conversion.

Another vote for the Autoglym kit. I treated mine before putting the car off the road last year. Brought it out last week and washed the car, water beaded perfectly off the hood after 6 months in the garage

Welcome to the forum. The rain started when I taxed my car and put it back on the road for the 'summer' so It's me to blame

I'm sure they will have more than one set. Happy for you to be the guinea pig if you want to buy 1st

Great find !

Thinking about a pair of these myself...I can't see anything mentioned about left or right hand drive as this will be a factor.

I've used Triple QX from Euro Car Parts for some time with no problems. I don't leave it in until the service lights tell me to change but I wouldn't leave any oil in that long. Go for it.
