The doorhandel is returning by a smal spring.
The spring is held by the plastic cover inside the door.
The plastic cover is broken so the spring in not held anymore
Question is can the doorhandel mechanisme be removed frome the inside or the outside of the frame.

Cabrioot

Z1 The doorswitchlever on the inside will not return

The covver that keeps the spring is broken and can not repair this from the inside
Someone now how to reach it.
Do i have to take the door out or just the pannel underneat the door.

Now i use it to repair the hood of the Z1

Cabrioot

You can see there is a lot off differences in price. It has not much to do with year of build. Its all in relation to looks and maintenance and what your expactation is. A bad serviced care gone cost a lot if yo have to do all the work into a shop. If you do it your self you can use aftermarket part...

Cabrioot

Good idea and when you buy it yes tow away and driver not with those tires.

Cabrioot

Because z1 has differnt engineblok compare to 325i.
You can ask E30 shop in belgium the do a lot with 6 cylinder engines.

Cabrioot

Always bad when you have this trouble.
I dont now from wich model you can use the cilinderhead
but i now that a 2.5 engine from other models wil not fit into a z1.
The engine mountingstud is on a different place.

Always difficult to tell. When a car like a Z1 is ruined it cost a lot of effort and money to get it back to its original condition. It also depends on how handy you are .

This rubber, reinforced coupler isolates vibration from the rest of the drivetrain, while transferring power from the engine and transmission to the rear differential and wheels. As ...
