Re: Washer Bottle
Thanks for that guys. I did clean the tank out by filling it & siphoning it out a few times, it was more stale than gunky. I will see about getting a filter/strainer for the filler hole then, as that is what I would think it must be. Do BMW sell them? I don't want to replace the whole bottle tho...

Washer Bottle
I decided to siphon the old stale fluid from my washer bottle at the weekend, as it had a little bit of debris floating round in it, & was probably the biggest part of eighteen months old. Once it was empty, I noticed that there was sort of white plastic filter inside the bottle, just rattling a...

Z3 Door Cards
Hi everyone,
I have a question about Z3 door cards. Are there any differences between door cards fitted to early models & those fitted to Facelift models (apart from the age of them!)?
Just wondering if anything was altered along with other stuff that was changed in the interiors..?
Thanks.
