They are brown / bronze. I paid £90 for my Black/black ones which are the most popular hence full price. However, I thought these were a real bargain and like my others so much I have ordered some, great for just leaving in the car. I looked at the SpeedCat version (the future cats are the newer rep...

Final Drive unit failure - Differential bracket
I know this issue is well documented but I thought would give an update for all those with cars outside of the BMW warranty and high mileage. I picked up my Z3m a few weeks ago. I was aware of the spot weld telltale re the diff bracket problem and had inspected these before purchase and all seemed f...

Driving Shoes
Due to the often hilerious and sometimes embarrasing discussion regarding driving gloves http://www.zroadster.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19260&highlight= I thought it would be worth highlighting a great bargain for some driving shoes. If you don't need track day performance but just a great pair ...

I locked my keys in the boot of my S class last summer at the local golf club. Mercedes told me this was not possible which you could imagine I was rather argumentative about having all my mates rolling around the floor laughing at me. Eventually they agreed to send over a tachnician who could get i...

The x3 M badges on my 2000 roadster (side gills and boot) have really faded, especially the red which looks a rather pink for my liking now :wink: Did some research on tinternet and found this to be a common problem.

I know, I love silver cars, some people think its a boring colour but I think its timeless. Keep driving around now looking for other Z3m's. I see quite a few Z3 around but never seen another M. My brother has the Z4m but prefer the retro style of the older one 8-) Where abouts in Cheshire are you, ...

I know thats why I emailed him to confirm. He does not have the mounting kit which you need installed on your car to actually allow you to mount the roof. He does however have all the parts which come with the roof ie bolts, tools, instructions. I am no expert in these things and have never actually...

Found this on eBay.Looks remarkably cheap. Emailed the seller who confirmed all tools / bolts /instructions included. Was tempted as I have the mounting kit installed on mine. Decided to give it a miss as i) wrong colour (or would black and silver work - no 8-) ii) I only have the Z for pleasure use...

Thanks for this. At least the dealer could tell you where it was, mine couldn't. Am getting the part posted over by the garage I bought the car from. Thought it would be cheaper to fit myself than 200 mile round trip.
Is it easy to get the trim off and replace or should I leave it to my next service?

Obviously the increased acceleration means it needs to be more accurate - not! Good news anyway, the dealer I bought from offered to replace striaght away.

a tyre shop should be able to fix for about £10. They will do it there and then if they aren't too busy. The only time I have had problems is if the screw is in the side wall - they don't like fixing these as weekens the tyre or with run flats especially ZR rated which they are not allowed to repair...

:D well just bought my first Z3m. Have been looking around for a convertable as a 2nd car since last summer. I had the chance to use a Z3 1.9 for a weekend last summer and really liked the car but felt the 1.9 was underpowered for what I was looking for so decided to wait until this year. The long x...
