Run flats for offer
My E89 is switching to non run flats next week. At present it has 4 Bridgestone Potenza RE050A's which are about half life. Tyre monitor does not come on, therefore I assume they are good, plus tread is even. A shame to ditch them, when they could help someone here out. 225/35 19 88Y (Front) 255/30 ...

Re: Z3 2.8 Roadster alternator
FYI, new 90amp alternator fitted, both drive belts replaced (power steering and air conditioning) plus both associated tensioners replaced after 137k. Awful bearing noise now totally gone! Car now back on the road.....and of course it's raining!

Re: Z3 2.8 Roadster alternator
Thanks for the input all, much appreciated. A slight update to the alternator for you. The German motor factors supplier who I have ordered the parts did confirm that some early cars were infact fitted with an 80amp version, but recommended a 90amp, which does tie up with Real OEM for my particular ...

Z3 2.8 Roadster alternator
Guys, my alternator bearings have been running noisily for a long time, so now the car is back on SORN now is the time to replace it along with the belt and A/C belt. I've got the old Bosch alternator off, and although difficult to read think it's a 14v 80amp (poss 90amp?) For my car there are 80/90...
