Don't think they ever have been, many years ago you could buy copy clear lenses from the US but the supply dried up.

Who gives a ****

bunch of over paid prima donnas.

Euro car parts are doing 5 litres QX Fully Synth for £17 at the moment, got it in both my cars at the moment.
At the time they were doing free a oil filter as well.

Update, number two plug had a brown stain around the base of the ceramic and all the electrodes looked worn so new set fitted and all good, originals were NGK I've replaced with Bosch we'll see how we get on.

Hi all, my 2.0 has developed a slight low down misfire (second gear 1500/2000rpm) thinking it may be plugs, reading up the Bosch 4 electrode plugs as fitted have a service life of 60k, Bosch 2 electrode have service life of 25k, if my plugs turn out to be iffy after 27k why don't I just replace with...

I visited some friends at the weekend who live in a village 4 miles from Gayden and we were sat in the garden listening to the wonderful sounds coming from their test track. Also saw going through the village 2 Lamborghini's and a Mclaren, apparently Aston's got them all up there on test :lol: Someb...

I've just taken the Z3 badge off the back of mine and it looks much better, I will be keeping it with the 2.0 badge I took off the day I got the car, but I did take measurements before I took it off if need them

just in case I ever wanted to put it back on

Devon Z

Had ours 14 years, purchased new for £29,950 and just turned 27k.
Will never sell and at least if it's not worth anything it's not worth selling anyway.

So is it the same unit on the M52TU as the M54? Will have to check part numbers.

I've had two spray cans mixed by Halfords and the match was very good.

But what do people do to smooth out their paint chips?

Devon Z

The wife's just come back from a 500 mile road trip visiting friends so the Zed has a fresh batch of stone chips to sort out. Now I've always been able to get the colour coat and clear coat into the chips but are there any better ways of smoothing down the colour/clear coat. Also my OE Topaz Blue to...

I've used Triple QX from Euro Car Parts for some time with no problems. I don't leave it in until the service lights tell me to change but I wouldn't leave any oil in that long. Go for it. Just picked up 7 litres of Triple QX 5w-40 fully synth with a free Hengst oil filter(made in Germany and looks...

That seal is in sections so the roof can fold, mine done it in same place and I found one of the sections wasn't located correctly in the frame also condition the seals so they are nice and supple. I've never really used mine in wet weather until recently but it's our only car at the moment and I've...

Hi Eastsix Preferably not the 2.8, I'm unsure really as at the moment I am going by the reviews?! Regarding the face lift I'm guessing this is the later models, but with my budget, preferably face lift? I have test driven 1.9 so far (x3) all very different in driving performance and handling but al...

Sell it!!! never!! and least of all "cheap"

Devon Z

Same mileage as mine

I've changed the oil every year and the batteries been changed then I thought this year I'd better change the washer fluid as it had gone down a bit after all the Mots

The front tyres are original and nothing on mine has "perished"

Devon Z

It says in the service book if you do less than 10k a year to change the oil annually, I've never used long life oil since the warranty ran out, I reset the lights at the same time.

Just checked my 99 facelift and they are all separate single filament bulbs for tail/brake/fog/turn and reverse.

Del wrote:I’m afraid I have no brand loyalty. For my next change will be using Euro Car Parts own brand Triple QX, fully synthetic 5W/40. Approved by VW, MB & BMW and only £17.10 for 5 litres. It also has the newest API SN rating.

I'm going to give that a try, really good price for fullsyn

Devon Z

I can check later but I think it might have a extra 5watt tail light, so that's a 21/5watt 2 filament for running/tail and brake then a single 5watt running/tail, then fog reverse and indicator.

Could be wrong

I'll check later when I get home.

I spec'd mine with them in 1999 I think they were a £400 option but when I went to trade mine in 2001 I nearly punched him when he gave the trade in price :shock: the reason he gave was that a lot of the options I had put on were now standard :? roll bars been one of them. 8-) My whole car's now wor...

Wider wheels and tyres on the rear compared to the front. As per standard 17" Z3 setup of 7.5" front wheels and 8.5" rear.

Just watching Armageddon for umpteenth time and noticed that as the M roadster is driving across the desert it's got the hardtop on, then when he's doing the business no hardtop!! bet Liv was pissed at having to take that off as well.

Devon Z

There's a Silver S reg M roadster always parked at Sainsburys in Torquay think he must work there, it's the only M I see regularly.

Good idea I'll remember that next time, just been out in the daylight and found it on the drive

Devon Z

Just put the part number in on the Cooper BMW parts website and they tell me it's £6.06!! Ouch!
I'll give my local dealer a ring not that they are very helpful when it comes to parts! "You mean you don't want to buy a car sir!! O?"

Devon Z

Thanks that sounds reasonable

Been cleaning my car today and whilst drying out filler cap area I've lost the little rubber stop off the filler flap, is anybody breaking a facelift zed?

I'll have a look on my drive tommorow but I don't hold out much hope.

I love the front of the zed with no plate, first saw it in the US where some states don't need one, I've got a lot smaller 12"x3" plate on the front and so far no problems.

Mines feed from the same supply as the radio so it's live in the key position before the ignition is on

if that makes sense.
