Long storey short, broke my original windscreen . BMW replaced it and did such a poor job they had to replace it again so I ended up with a practically new screen that I have no idea what its worth. I'm about to put it on ebay but i've been out of the Z1 scene for so long i've no idea what its worth...

Hi Bad Yeti, i have some good diagnostic notes on the doors. Are you mechanically minded? If so these notes and drawings i have would help you.Is it the camber thats out by 15 degrees? Its not difficult to fix. Nik

Nik Rite

Whats the problem with the doors? I'm a bit sad and have a particular interest in them......each to their own.!! Nik

Hi Guys, just back from my summer hols and read that someone needs a z1 wiring diagram . I have one. It is not the same as the e30 etc as you have the electric doors etc. It was in sheet form ( 3 sheets)only but a friend of mine has put it one high quality PDF format but it is a large file size.

Sam, some guy lobbed a brick at mine last year. Long storey short. I insisted on bringing the car to the local BM dealers(a mistake). It took them three goes to get it right!!!! they broke the first one, positioned the second one in wrong place and third ok. The side verical seals were set in too sh...

Hi 31, I dont think its badly wrong. I would not remove the microswitch and plate assembly because the position of the whole plate is quite ctitical. Can you use a multimeter? all you need to test is for continuity across the terminals of the two stage micro switch.yellow plug. The microswitch is sl...

Nik Rite

Hi There, It sounds to me you do need to to remove the sill first then the rear wing,,,sorry!!!To check this id open the yellow mltipin plug and check the continuity of the pins as you press the outside button or the inside lever .The micro switch is not adjustable,bm pop rivet it in place and marke...

Hi Guys, If you got one off the net/ebay does anyone know a good fitter? Regards NIK

Hi Jet,if it was me I'd remove the pannel completely from the car. Is it just behind the door? Then I would tack it together again with good quality cyanacrylate( super glue) use loctite. Then Id get a friend to turn a bush insert (Brass )to insert ito the hole and reinforce the surounding area. Id ...

If you go,Ill go!!! It would be nice to meet some of the locals.Anybody else interested? Who knows it might be the start of something big. I,ll see you there. Nik

Hi All, I've just come back from my hols only to find a letter in my post from my insurance company stating my car Z1 had been involved in an accident with a motor bike.

Hi G2TRG, I think the gearbox is actually from the 325iX. It was a four wheel drive 3 series that bm did. Hope this helps just a little. Nik

As Promised, my friend has done a tip top job at putting the main Z1 wiring diagram on a cd as a Adobe file. It runs over two pages but he has joined them together and they can be read as one page at high resolution. It includes the wiring for the doors. Does anyone know any technical German because...

Never used them myself but Im sure there are Bods out there who know more than me about them. But basically you turn the key past its normal open or possibly locking position and that should undo the door latch if there is a power cut. Can anyone out there give more advice ? NIK

Nik Rite

Dear Teatray, got me thinking! Is there any resistance at all when the button is pressed even with different key positions in the barrel? Does the other button feel differet on the other side? Do the emergency door latches work by turning the key?My gut feeling is that this is NOT a serious problem....

Hi Guys and Gals,Ive had a notion to buy one of those wind breaker things and from looking around and generally chatting to people the general concensus is that the Weismann one is probably the best.

Hi Guys I'm with Paul on this and I wouldn't swap the control modules. Both the inside door pull and the ouside door button actuate a two stage micro switch just below the door motor. Therefore if by pulling the inside door lever everything works fine it cant be the module. It must be between the ba...

Hi All, ive an original detailed wiring diagram for the Z1.including the doors It spans over three or four A4 pages.It is in German but I dont think that is a problem.

I was wondering if the mirrors are heated? Is it only the movement of one mirror that causes the fuse to blow? If they are heated is it worth disconecting the heating element wiring on both and see if the mirrors move ok. If so then add one mirror heting element and see if the fuse blows? Its a thou...

Hi Dario, It certainly starts you thinking! The sampling method is very precise but probably not difficult. With some of these guys engines costing £10k for a rebuild it would be interesting to see what is wearing and when. I didn't look hard at the article but is it expensive for Jo Bloggs to have ...

Hi, I'm 6'2 and its fine for me. There is plenty of info out there on this site and generally on the web. The roof mech is no problem and generally what you see is what you get.

Hi Guys , i'm sure if you could have panels made there would be a market out there for them.

Hi Tenroom , if you are referring to the door/window switch on the brass coloured plate, I can see no other way of replacing it without taking the lower door panel/rear panel and the door itself off. The switch is part of the whole plate and comes as a complete unit from BMW. It costs about £200. wh...

Hi John, I'm nearly certain the discs are unique to a Z1. The front are standard. The belt is a bit unusual also (about £30).That would also have to be ordered through BMw. i'd order the parts over the phone now throught a bm dealer with visa. The parts come from a slightly different section of the ...
