Most trouble I had driving my LHD Z3 in the UK was a couple of neds asking if I was American :) As much as I like my LHD cars, I wouldn't buy that one. If you're really after a 1.9, there's a nicer RHD on Autotrader, with hardtop and less miles, for only 300 more than the one you're looking for. Eve...

Starting to worry now... if people named Chardonnay are driving Z3s then maybe it is the time to sell and move on!!!!

What kind of moron decides to name a person CHARDONNAY anyway (even a fictional character)?

komis

Your dealer is a right barsteward. Replacement radiator from eurocarparts = £110 + £50 labour at my ocal specialist's = £160, that's what I paid for one on my old Z3. Go get it fixed so you can at least use the car and then sue your dealer to recover the cost (small claims will take ages, but at lea...

komis

I admire you for your technical expertise but my blood freezes at your brutality

Poor evo... did its previous owner know what you were planning to do with it?

By the way the plate on the EVO looks like it could fetch you a bit of dosh (S54 XXX???)

I've stayed a couple of times in Hotel Meurice in Calais, it's in the city centre. Lovely period rooms and gorgeous food, good prices too. Make sure you get the breakfast in bed!!! There's full room service as well as a restaurant, the carret d'agneau and the salmon in cheddar sauce simply kicks a$$...

has anybody seen
this???

komis

Your neighbourhood is very cabrio-friendly!!!!!

I love the colour on your car, gorgeous... gorgeous!

komis

PM me with your email address and I will be happy to forward a copy. It's for the 2000 Z3/MZ3 models.

The manual is only about a tenner from the dealer though.

Suck and drool all over THIS

Sorry to be a spoilsport, dear jodhpur lovers, but back to the subject, I read some news about "the oceans absorbing most of the CO2 we emit", hence the low increase in CO2 in the atmosphere. This apparently affects shellfish and their ability to develop their shells, as adding CO2 decreas...

komis

Did I mention I'm removing my catalysts as well?

komis

I admit, as with probably most people, I was pretty much convinced that all our industrialisation must have been causing havoc with the environment. Actually I was born and bred to think that way, being a late 70s child and all and I even felt guilty my 2.8 barely met EuroII regulations for emission...

komis

Looks lovely, well done!
A set of chrome heater rings are a must to finish off your new look though!

komis

Bah, think again about the boxster's boot!!! It's got 2!!! And they are bloody huge for a roadster too. We transported a chunky 17" CRT monitor in my friend's Boxster (front boot), try that in a Z3 :) As much as I love my Z3, I have to admit, for practicality, the Boxster has it beat hands down...

keep an eye out for e39 5-series fogs as well, afaik, they are exactly the same unit as the ones on the z3!

Dedicated to all the haters, THIS PICTURE SAYS IT ALL!

When you want to say nothing but still say something, you use the word "could". All the key points in that email are based around that word. I don't think that anyone with even the slightest bit of intelligence can take that email seriously. By the way, with regard to his statements about ...

komis

You could well be right, I suppose my opinion comes from comparing prices of the 2.8 as they are of the most interest to me personally (that's what I drive). I suppose with stricter emission regulations linked to road tax now and also with the current rises in petrol prices, lower capacity engines a...

komis

I drive my LHD Z3 in the UK and it's generally not too much of a problem. Some roundabouts require a bit of care as the 4 o'clock view isn't exactly the best in a Z3 (no rear passenger windows!!!), but again, you get used to adopting a more careful approach. The only real problem are the local neds ...

let's start another petition to make sheriff Joe Arpaio prime minister!

smartypants is 100% right. They f*cked up with the NHS and I'm paying to fix it, and also I may die in the process. They f*cked up in Iraq and as a result my mortgage rose by £50 a month, that money keeps me fed for a week at work. They f*cked up with the roads and now we'll all have to pay for it a...

I read this and it was a bit worrying.. basically says that BMW have indicated M52 engines cannot be supplied with biofuel????

Never heard of Peart insurance.. what are they like? Any reviews/opinions?

Ok I know it says one car only but since both my cars were Zeds I hope it'll be ok with the mods :) Old: http://img106.imageshack.us/img106/7326/dsc000702ev.jpg http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/8004/dsc000801xd.jpg http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/1387/dsc000822ig.jpg http://img444.imageshack.us...

Yep and they fit just the same, as far as I know... But why spend hundreds when you can simply bake your old headlights? I think baked headlights look just as good, and while you're at it, you can also fit some angel eyes too!!!!

komis

I had a Magnaflow on my old 1.9 and while I loved it, I wouldn't really say it was quiet!!!! Which model did you fit?

komis

Nah... prettiest convertible of all times has to be this:

AND it's american-built, like the Z

komis

Smartypants, if you're driving to Monaco, just after Grenoble, take the old national road to Nice, the experience is truly fantastic. I used the satnav to take me through it and it worked a treat, no reason to panic as long as you have a fairly recent map! I just asked it to take me to the central I...

Maybe the war isn't over after all... Which part of this reminds you of your Z3 then?

Pheeeewwwwww.... All I can say is I was prepared to see total devastation but this looks a lot better than I had feared... Well.. sorry to see your Z in such a state but at least it looks like you'll be able to keep it after all. Which is definately a good thing!!!! May Picasso's cubism manifest its...

yep, remember ebay prices are often higher than dealers', especially for new OEM parts... Lots of people there trying to make a quick buck or two. As recommended, check realoem. I convert through oanda.com and I have found the conversions to be always very close to the actual dealer prices once you'...

That was a terrible post to read... best wishes for a speedy recovery to your nephew 321.
On a lighter note :

May the perpetrators' balls turn square and rot at the edges.

ROTFLMAO

komis

Nick, that's fantastic! The user manual on my old 1.9 certainly didn't describe this process but if it works, hey!

komis

I ALMOST FORGOT!!!!!!!! Honorary Z?

komis

Wow... I didn't know this company or their cars, they're absolutely beautiful... are they a Z4 without all the niceties? Maybe so but how many of these do you see around the road each day!!!

And of course, imagine parking this in front of the casino in Monte Carlo

komis

Hahaha

It's true!! Remember we have a... SPOTTED! section in here as well!!!

komis

That's bizarre. The car is definately a 1.9 pre-facelift, just look at those rear arches!!!! How come it wears a 52 plate, that is totally beyond me.. I guess the plate could be a fake (for tv purposes?)

komis

I saw it too, if you're talking about the one running over a garden. Looked like a 1.8. Certainly nobody from this site, who would be mad enough to put their Z through such hell?

komis

Yeah, the Z8 was built as a tribute to that old roadster... that's why it also is a great looker!

I like the "honorary Z" award

How many of you here have actually stopped to think that the proper pronounciation for our Zed Threes is "Tzet Dry"?

komis

Citing evidence that 42 per cent fewer people had been killed or seriously injured at sites where fixed speed cameras had been installed, they called for funds to be made available so more could be installed. And of course, for reasons of credibility, this survey wasn't conducted by the safety came...

komis

I don't know about the Z4 roadster but the coupe simply OWNS... I sat in one at my local dealer's, I put on an stupid grin and I didn't want to get out. I think I'd quite fancy one as a winter run-around :P Sadly, I think I wouldn't be able to move away from the lures of top-down driving.. But if BM...

komis

That's really cool.. and quite a simple idea, really!! Surely it's can't be a new concept though?!!

I wonder what must have been preventing them from making it happen all this time... Hasn't elastic compound performance been researched enough to allow this level of performance earlier?

komis

estocks is completely correct. Routing the cable under the gear gaitor is a piece of cake..

I have my aux socket installed in the centre console, where the ashtray normally sits (mine has the non-smoker package). You can see a pic HERE.

komis

Well what can I say, I find it bizarre that the car would just go ahead and lock itself. It could well be the case that your control module has packed up and you need a replacement if the instructions I gave don't work. Basically the theory behind shorting the pins is that it emulates a signal being...
