Now why didn't I think of that :dunce: Anywayz I am now a fully signed up member of the BMWCCGB :D it's only taken me 7yrs there about to do it lol :thumb: Welcome to the club! Did you let them know that you had a zed and that you wanted to join the Z Register calbens? They should have offered you ...

Looks fantastic Antonio. A real credit to you

That made me look twice ! Thought it was a Z4 at first glance...Anyone seen one in the flesh ?? I've seen the 3-piece one (non-roll hoop) on a car and then stowed in the boot. Took up more room than the tonneau cover and took longer to fit/remove. There's a reason that these things are rare.... and...

I think they might be ok when colour coded to the car. Have you got any close-up pics?

That's owned by someone that owns a load of BMW dealerships, but can't for the life of me remember his name :oops: Was it titanium silver with red leather interior? The guy who did the bolster on my seat has done work on it ( had photos in his workshop). It's a well loved example that's for sure. D...

Spotted on Friday evening, reg no. BMW 78. Gave you a wave but nothing in return

I'd be looking at swapping the mirrors for ///M ones, transforms the look of the car IMO: Like those, are they a straight forward swap? Also those stone chip guards you have just in front of the rear wheels? Where did you get those from? Yep, easy to swap. Directly interchangeable between ///M an n...

Looks great value at 3.5k. As others have said, all of those niggles are easy fixes. I'd be looking at swapping the mirrors for ///M ones, transforms the look of the car IMO:

I've been busy with organising zedfest and Gaydon so haven't coordinated a Santa Pod stand this year. I have however 'encouraged' zroadster.org to put something together and it looks like that could be coming to fruition here. Probably worth registering interest on there.

Would be interesting to see the final photo of the 'zed of zeds' taken from the cherry picker and also the time-lapse video which was also running on it from 9:00am. Here's the time lapse of the 'zed of zeds' . Not bad for a first attempt and definitely something we can refine next year. Many thank...

Noticed this last minute - never made it in the past so thought i would come check it out this sunday in my s54mZ3. What's the best course of action, just turn up, pay and park anywhere? Is it too late to get an advance ticket and to be able to park with all the Zeds? Hi Hylts. Yes, it is too late ...

If you've got a Z Register area display pass then take a look at the following to orientate yourself ready for this coming Sunday. This sketch shows where the Z Register area is in relation to other models: http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p267/myredzed/Gaydon2012.jpg ...and this is how we will pa...

Ian_C

Any more takers for this? We currently have 31 zeds booked for the Z Register area and have plenty of room for more

Ian_C

I'll have a z3 SRS code reader and airbag light reset tool with me at zedfest on Saturday if anyone needs to borrow one :wink: Dang.....i knew i should visit the forum more often :evil: Never mind lesson learned :? I'll take it down to Gaydon if you're planning to attend the BMWCCGB National festiv...

Do zroadster have a display area for the cars in the car park in front of the Museum entrance? And can you display your car in that area if you are not a BMW club GB member? I'm not aware that zroadster.net have requested or organised a display area. If you want to display a zed in the BMWCCGB Z Re...

Ian_C

First teaser pic from me. More to follow tomorrow when I get back home....

From an initial count it looks like we had 312 zeds in attendance with 297 taking part in the parade lap

Ian_C

Yep, another vote of thanks for John Safe from me too. This event wouldn't have happened without his hard work and dedication and he richly deserves all the plaudits that he'll surely receive in due course. Thanks John!

UPDATE - LOCATION MAP Take a look at this map to give you an idea of the route to our revised zedfest area. Look out for BMWCCGB marshalls in HiViz vests and BMW signs along the route to our area. we turn left at the end of the yellow line and come back under the bridge, correct? Look out for marsh...

Mine have arrived too

I should be in a position to post an update on numbers etc next week once zedfest is done.

Yep, you'll be in the public car park. The infield is closed between 10:00 and 17:00.

Ian_C

Just posting a numbers update - across the forums we're showing that we have 235 zeds registered. Given that not everyone buying a V-pass is registered on a forum I'd say we should expect 250+ zeds on Saturday

Ian_C

Lovin' the new wheels

Top work so far James!

Ian_C

Does the "before 9.30am" arrival time apply to both Friday and Saturday if I want to be in the Z display area on both days? Yes Do we have any timing for the parade lap on Saturday yet? It'll be during the liunchtime break in the racing programme (subject to no overrun of that programme) ...

UPDATE - PARADE LAP Ok folks, so we now have some guidance for our parade lap: 1. The celebration Z Lap is marshal controlled at ALL times - excessive speed IS NOT welcomed 2. The maximum speed will be ~35/40 MPH 3. There are likely to be ~250 zeds on the track with you 4. ALL cars should follow th...

You won't be able to get a V-pass to put your car on the BMWCCGB area and participate in the parade lap however I understand that you should be able to get a general admission ticket. If that's the case, how would we ever get to a total of 500 Zeds for the parade lap ? The plan was to get to 500 wi...

Ian_C

I haven't received my tickets yet

Over the coming days I'll post up some more details on the zed register area and how many zeds you can expect to be parked up with. We have plenty of space so I'd encourage all BMWCCGB members to participate.

UPDATE - INCORRECT V-PASS RESOLUTION The BMWCCGB is aware that there are a couple of anomalies regarding printed V-passes (missing V-pass, incorrect area, incorrect vehicle reg).

UPDATE - INSURANCE Since we've had a number of queries ref this topic then it's worth mentioning that all participants should note that insurance is an individual responsibility. If you are concerned then you should check that your insurance covers this type of event (i.e. a car show and parade lap).

It really depends on the offsets of the new wheels, do you have them to hand so that we can advise? Existing wheel nuts will be fine.

Good job Brian

Mods - any chance of putting this in the Knowledgebase?

Ian_C

Great result on the seats and the ipod - top job Joey

Ian_C

Another example of shoddy service

Just to confirm that all z3 models have 2 fixing points for carpets - might be worth another call to the vendor?

Ian_C

I'm interested in this one again too. Weather permitting, I'll be there - up for BBs too

Ian_C

Wow, that is stunning! Top job by your detailing man

Ian_C

I had the same problem approx 12 months ago. To fix it I simply took the whole thing apart and gave the rubber button covers a good wash to get rid of all the accumulated dirt. I also bent the battery holder contacts a bit and gave them a scrub with some emery paper to clean up the contacts (don't s...

-IMPORTANT-

Silverstone have advised the club that ALL drivers participating in the parade lap MUST show their driving licence. Don't forget to bring yours!
