BMW Z3 with Tanin Red Leather Interiors

Just to let you that I had my drivers seat bolster repaired on saturday by Q Trim in Chelmsford Essex and he has done a great job. He managed to get hold of the correct tanin red hide and has still got quite a bit left. So if you need a repair done then give him a call on 07927192266 or 01245917821....

Re: Chrome windscreen surround fitted

I do like a bit of bling if it is done right! This model accepts it well. It is meant to be a fun car for the summer so it should reflect that.
My other classic (urquattro) is pretty much standard with just a few embellishments

Re: Gearbox Oil? - Arrrh!

The oil I bought for the change was Castrol Syntrans B 75W Fully Synthetic Car Gearbox Oil, but I am sticking with the Dexron II ATF as specified. It is what came out so I know it works for the gearbox.

Gearbox Oil? - Arrrh!

Have just recently bought what I thought was the correct oil for the gearbox and now my mechanic has said that the orange tag on the gearbox specfies ATF Dexron fluid.
:( These fluid variants on these models are a nightmare!!

Thanks for the replies, by the way I do know what ATF & MTF mean! :) I have read so many threads on here about different oils including putting ATF in the manual gearbox. I have done this in the past with good results. I run an Audi 80 Sport with ATF for several thousand miles after it initially...

1997 Z3 2.8 Manual Gearbox and Differential Oil Change

I know it might be an old chestnut, but there seems to be a lot of conflicting threads on which is the right fluids to use. I think my car has an LSD so I get the feeling I should be looking Castrol SAF-XJ 75-140 for the Diff, but for the Gearbox I am not so sure. Is it really ATF fluid as some have...

Re: Armrest for a 1997 Z3

[quote="Southernboy"]I assume you're referring to the center console area ?? And what colour leather are you looking for ??}

Hi there.
Yes centre console. I have a Tanin Red/ Black interior so either colour would not look out of place.
Z3 is a Mk1 not Mk2

Armrest for a 1997 Z3

I am looking to get an Armrest for a Z3 but they seem to be thin on the ground. As anybody modified on for an E36 before? I am not interested in tilting just to supply support.
