Ok I'm going to try and check the other 3 wheel sensors today

Question,Would a bad wheel sensor make the car completely un driveable as in my case

MpowerRob

Where abouts in Hatfield will you be finishing up, I might come along, if I get my z fixed

MpowerRob

Hi guys thanks for the replies, so I have charged the battery and cleaned the passenger side wheel speed sensor started the car but still the same problem, the car idles fine with no warning lights but as soon as you apply any revs the ASC light comes on and it idles really lumpy :?: Will clean the ...

MpowerRob

No battery hasn't died, the only other thing I can think is I changed the rear springs for eibach lowerings springs recently,could I have damaged a wire that relates to the ASC light being on

MpowerRob

Hi all, could really do with some help please, went to go for a drive in the Z3 (2.8m52tu) and when I started it and went to drive off the ASC light came on and the car is idling funny when I try to accelerate there is no power and it will only rev to 1500 rpm even with accelerator flat to the floor...

MpowerRob

Love the journal where do find the time to do all this stuff! Makes me feel like I'm neglecting mine

do you know what lowering springs you've got as its sits really nice not too low looks just right. I've just bought Eibach lowering springs so I'm hoping your gone say you've got those.

MpowerRob

A new update to the Z, found a carbon Simota induction Kit for the Z on EBay and put an offer in and it got accepted :D I have always wanted one of these and never got a chance to fit one to my M roadster and have heard nothing but good responses/reviews. Was pretty easy to fit though the coolant ov...

Wheels are 18" with 225 45 all round was going to go 255 rear 225 front but it rides great so might leave as is.

Wow seats look really good do you have any before shots? what colour is the inner seats as that seems to be the same colour as my whole seats, also what products did you use as there are lots of different options.

MpowerRob

So I got round to fitting these the other day very straight forward and a big thanks to Southernboy for a great product and fast delivery, I think they look great a serve a good purpose.

MpowerRob

I've driven a m135i and wasn't that impressed thought it was pretty boring and soulless if I'm honest and not that quick,though Crikey! Not that quick, what are you used to driving? I had a go in one and thought it was monstrously quick. Tim My other car is a 911 turbo But like I said speed isn't e...

MpowerRob

Hi zeezee and welcome, what z did you get engine etc? 32k wow mega low mileage sounds like a good find, Look forward to seeing some pics.

MpowerRob

Love the ACS front splitters, there actually called Flippers believe it or not, they were the best mod I ever did on my M roadster a few years back. Whats the deal with the third brake light why does it stick out so much?

MpowerRob

Love the Santa pod picture, haven't been up there for ages used to go nearly every month for run what you brung what 1/4 time did you get? Best was 16.6 if I remember, don't know if that's any good for a 2.0 as there was no others to compare it too. 16.6 is a good time for a n/a 2.0 car, got to say...

MpowerRob

Got the wheels on at the weekend, not a fan of black wheels so a refurb in silver is on the cards, what do you guys think :?: The ride is surprisingly good, I thought there would be a big difference in ride quality going from 16s to 18s but once lowered it should be even better it is running 225 all...

MpowerRob

I quite like the BMW Individual plaque, where did you find that? Thanks yalden, I originally bought it to put on the boot lid but when it arrived it was way too small :lol: so thought it would look good somewhere in the cabin, I got it from a BMW dealer in Germany I will dig out the reciept and pos...

MpowerRob

Hi all I'm looking for a set of lowering springs for a 2.8 z3 and also the left and right plastic demister dash vents in black, if anyone has please let me know with price etc.

MpowerRob

Hi Bonzo here's the link to the LED interior bulb, very easy to fit no modifications required and a really good mod in my opinion.

MpowerRob

I recently changed my gear stick for a AC Schnitzer one and that has significantly made my gear change better, pretty sure is down to the added weight of the new gear stick/knob. Just a thought.

MpowerRob

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to look at a silver 2005 3.0 today on offer at £10,000 at a local dealer. For that you should get a 3.0si around 34 brake horse more :D That was five years ago lol Z4 prices have got a lot lower since then, as is normal with modern cars. Sure the Z4 is "better...

MpowerRob

More progress. Have added a AC Schnitzer gear knob and handbrake handle the gear knob has made the gear change a little nicer now,though ill change the gearbox oil ASAP. Have also picked up a set of 18" staggered Cades Tyrus only problem is they are black but for the price I got them I couldn't...

MpowerRob

Hi all just wondering what you think the best staggered setup is for 18" rims as just got myself a set but they've got 225 40 18 all round on 8j and 9 j wheels I've seen some of you run 255 35 18 on the rears has anyone used 245 35 18 just thinking with the 245s theres less rubber less weight e...

MpowerRob

An update, have added a oe Bmw individual plaque to the centre console and a LED interior bulb which I would highly recommend to anyone who actually wants to see anything in car when you open the door when it's dark :lol: http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah309/911turboRob/Mobile%20Uploads/61d300b...

Hi all just seeing if anyone would like to meet up at the ace cafe for there monthly BMW meet, usually starts around 1800 and goes on till late, would be good to meet some fellow Z3 owners.

MpowerRob

Hi nick good choice of wheels bbs lm are one of my favourite even if they are reps, there what I'm looking to put on my z can't wait to see how yours look once fitted.

MpowerRob

Hi all just seeing if anyone would like to meet up tomorrow night at the ace cafe for The BMW night they run there monthly?

Would be great to meet some other Z owners.

MpowerRob

There'd be nothing wrong with fitting 7.5j all round, it's actually better for handling to have non staggered wheels. The down side would be the rear wouldn't sit well to the arch. So you'd need spacers but I think all bmw cars need spacers anyway. Robz3sport, what 19's are on your car? I'm after s...

Hi all, would really appreciate some help trying to sort out all the little niggles that need fixing on my Z3, Things I'm trying to fix at the moe are firstly i keep getting water in the battery area ?

MpowerRob

So I'm looking to do the first mod on my Z3 Orinoco as factory 16s are just too small and don't fill the arches, keeping with the factory cross spoke look am looking at either 17" style 42 or 18" bbs lm style. Would like some opinions on 1 difference in ride quality and 2 look. I really li...
