Very nice, must admit to having a "big" preference for the sports seats and looked for ages for a 2.8 with the same interior, everytime i found the car it had the wrong interior or vice versa. Gave up in the end and bought a 2.0L 6 pot with the right spec pic attached. Enjoy the summer 8-...

I'm guessing BMW never made OEM chrome hoops?

Good luck finding the Hamann hardtop!!

Last of the pre-facelift, very nice! Looks a great spec! Especially with the extended leather dash console, boomerangs and door pulls! I'm definately jealous of all those features! On top of that, the elec/heated M seats finish of the interior! 8-) Do you mind me asking the mileage and how much it s...

I want your wheels... I love Alpina Dynamics!

Reminds me of a Figaro

Arselift was introduced in the tail end of '99, it did include a couple facelift adjustments too (such as the chrome rings within the headlight units). "Arselift"?? Don't you mean the "styling downgrade"* from the gorgeous downward curved fenders of the pre-2000 2.8 / M Roadies ...

Welcome kkkl Only the earliest 1.9 cars had the narrower rear end. Just 1" less I think. The later facelift ('arselift') cars are all the same irrelevant of engine size, except for the ///M versions. A. Thanks for the reply. Was a little confused when seeing some ads claiming 2.8 and specifyin...

I'm sure all BMW's will generate this over time, just clean it off.

Congrats on the sale, lovely OEM set of wheels and a great price imo!

Out of interest, I noticed you have a switch blank and was wondering what should fill it. I am guessing that M's didn't come with traction as standard, the only other switch would be A/C/Recirculate... was this also an option on M's? I'm glad you spent out on the OEM part, a resprayed part would nev...

yalden

I'm after a set of ZM side vents also, the cheapest I've found is £175 delivered, that's brand new OEM but still a lot of money for such a small item! If you find anywhere cheaper let me know

Exterior Makeover - Part 1 Black Tonneau Cover - 24/05/2008 http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a388/yalden/Z3/germanborder.jpg I hated the unfinished look of the car with the roof down, as a result a Black tonneau cover had to be purchased (especially with all the recent sunshine).

Interior Makeover - Part 5 I Bit the Billet - 24/05/2008 http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a388/yalden/Z3/germanborder.jpg I decided to replace my chrome gearknob with something a little nicer, a Storm Motorwerks V1 shifter! I had this in the titanium finish on my E36 so know how nice it feels and ...

I use liquid leather shampoo and conditioner... not amazing on real stubborn stains but for a good all round clean it is great, the conditioner softens up leather to stop creaking or cracking and restore a vintage leather smell. I would recommend it to anyone!

yalden

How much did you buy the kit for? What brand is it? Does it come with warranty/receipt?

Thanks

As for the airbag light, go to a friendly garage and get it done for a few quid cash in hand. It'll probably just need a code-reset! I thought that as well when mine came on. Glad I did go to a BMW main dealer in the end as it turned out the airbag in the steering wheel needs replacing. Having gone...

yalden

I don't think any of your problems warrant a visit to the dealership, they're simple enough and could be solved at a fraction of any BMW dealership costs. Coding a key can be done yourself, I'll try to remember to look tonight and I'll copy it from my manual for you. As for the windscreen chip, go s...

1 - This is a common fault, often caused by pretensioners playing up. It doesn't mean that anything is wrong or needs replacing. I had the same problem when I purchased mine, I took it to my local garage, he plugged a diagnostic in and reset it free of charge... job done! I'd never go to BMW for thi...

I have removed and refitted my centre console twice since ownership (which is just over a month). The first time was to remove it for fitment of the carbon fibre console, the second was to remove it so that I could fit the leather boomerangs! If you're careful enough you won't break anything!

Wow, after my first glance at the photos I had to check the car was RHD... I thought the properties looked like something out of an American fairytale!

That looks lovely, the wheels and stance set it off a treat!

What are the part numbers for the BMW Bodykit and what does it consist? I notice his fog light appetures are different!

yalden

6 hours!!!

I had my entire centre console out, boomerangs and console replaced in no more than 1 hour!

yalden

Sweet!!

I think you made the right move

I have only just seen this post, the item sold but as of yet I've received no payment or contact from the buyer! If you're still interested the part number is:-

I used a credit card, slide it centrally beneath the cartridge to eject. Then I removed all CD's from the cartridge and reinserted. I noticed while pressing the eject button it then unloaded a jammed CD but reloaded it automatically, I force ejected it while the said jammed CD was in the cartridge. ...

Out of curiosity, where has your chrome boot lock surround gone? I prefer no spoiler, but out of the set it has to be the one on the white Z3. As has been said, I think the money would be better invested on a set of red/clear rear lights. I've never been a fan of a spoiler on a convertible of any ki...

Looks like Bonds' Z3 in Goldeneye

In terms of removing the standard BMW connector block from the back of the Business RDS Headunit, it's not intended to be done by hand. If you look closely at the top of the lever which you pull up it has a diagram indicating to use a screwdriver to provide leverage.

Thanks Kiwi, that'll come in handy!! Shame it's not a quick and easy job though

I think if I owned that collection of cars a Z1 would never get touched... perhaps the M1 though

Nice car!! I looked at TT's and S3's before buying my Z3... I think it was my loyalty to BMW's that kept me here!

If you're not fully clued up on Z3's, make sure you look into the facelifted model that occured later in '99, the rear end was revised to be more curvy with rear lights that slightly resemble those off the E46 3 series (they contain a step). I didn't realise until I started looking into Z ownership ...
