Nice car, nice colour, nice wheels, I'm not at all jealous! Welcome to the forum, it's a good crowd on here .

No problems, glad I could help. Probably one of the first leak fixes I did and 3 years later still all good, so hopefully the same for you.

I find I sometimes have to put air con on to de-mist my screen quickly and to keep it de-misted. I also find that I get the mist on the outside of the screen sometimes, depends on weather conditions. Strangely I don't have much problem with the rear screen!

wonderloaf

Reading this thread gave me some ideas on how I could try to restore my rear screen, so went and bought one of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00AY04JZS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 with the intention of trying to buff the scratches out of my rear screen using a triangu...

Think I might get one myself, need to get the scratches out my rear screen!

wonderloaf

Perhaps the small triangular based "mouse" sanding machine made by Black & Decker might be good, but then one will need a purpose made buff to fit it's triangular head ?? How about something like this for an oscillating tool? http://multifitblades.com/felt-polishing-triangular-pad.html

Wish I was getting 33.3 mpg from my 2.2, I get around 30mpg and it doesn't seem to matter how I drive it or what I put in it, it seems to stay around that figure.

Didn't go down the drilled and grooved route in the end, thought there may be hassle with the insurance so just went OEM-ish with some solid Pagid discs and pads, bargain price of approx £70 for the lot (rear only) from ECP.

My car is my daily driver and I do a daily round trip of about 50 miles.... I'm also what you would call 'spirited' driver so the brakes get plenty of use!

wonderloaf

Hi all, thanks for the replies so far, been looking around the www for discs and pads, any recommendations? I read somewhere (don't ask where though) that drilled and slotted discs aren't really any use on the rear as they're not vented ... true?

Thanks again, wonderloaf

Hi all, recently put my z3 in for a service and got an advisory on the rear disc for corrosion, was advised that although not dangerous the disc should be changed ASAP ... can anybody give a independent opinion please?

Had exactly this problem on my car when I first got it, and in my case found that the leak was due to water leaking in from the cavity under the lower windscreen cover, the one where the wiper drive shafts come through, no 6 in this realOEM diagram: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=CN12...

Mines a 2001 Sport and I notice the tramlining gets worse as the tyres wear.

Saying that the tramlining is...

I use Shell V-Power super unleaded in my 2.2i, I'm sure I can feel a difference the car seems more responsive and smoother to drive. Makes no difference to MPG as some of the advertising claims. Probably all in my head, but at only a couple of extra quid per tankful seems silly not to use it!
