Sorry meant Ferrybridge. Doh

We just purchased new set of 18" wheels and tyres didnt cost that much when you take into account the cost of new tyres and selling your own wheels. Our old ones are going up for sale this week. Genuine 17" with original offsets. Require 2 new back tyres though the front are good. You will...

I went to wales 189 miles at the weekend and used less than a half a tank and yes did do some right foot clobbering to pass the useless idiots that think 60 speed limit is only for doing 45. Could check your brakes as we had new wheels fitted and it was pointed out that the caliper was stuck, we was...

Here are some pics of our new wheels, not brill as they were took by my phone. Will post some better pics when we go on our 4hr trip to Wales.

Sounds expensive to me too i paid 8k for 2001 3.0 sport 40k fsh loads of extras. the satnav is prob a radio satnav can get them from halfords for 350 fitted. Iwouldnt pay more than 4.5k for it. Have a look around and see whats about for the same money.

The set on my car will be up for sale when my new ones arrive. they are genuine 17" z3 alloys could do with refurb and tyres on rear are down to the marker in the centre. wheels on rear are 245/40/17 on 8.5j rims fronts are 225/45/17 on 7.5 rims. will be looking for about 200. http://img546.ima...

if antone has a zed3 from before 2000 they should try getting it on a classic insurance. we priced up a merc slk 320 and it came out under 300 quid. Now we will have to wait till 2011 to see what it will be on the zed. bill http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/3621/27032010059.th.jpg Have just purchas...

Thanks dav. the wheels i am looking at have 30 ofset and all are 18/8j rims. i think i will need a 25mm spacer on the rear to keep the wheels true to the body work as i will be loosing 1/2 of the rim is this right. so i think i need rear 245/35/18 with 25mm spacer and 225/40/18 front and no spacer w...

yeah. i have decided to go 18" 8j front and rear am hoping tyres of 245/35/18 rear and tyres 235/35/18 fronts will be right as i want to order mine tuesday. i am going for the league black and polished alchemist. Will these tyres be ok on these wheels

tooo many posts on here to see what has and has not been posted jonttt. least it is up at the front for all us newbies to see

I need 2 new tyres for my 2001 3.0 zed so i am going to use this as the perfect opportunity to purchase new wheels for it. what would be the best size to go for as i know they are different front and rear. I am running 225/45/17 front and 245/40/17 rear but i dont know what the rim size's are. Can a...

Dont know if you have seen this link before or if you will find this link interesting i know i did gives a good insight into the zed3. http://users.belgacom.net/bmw_z3/bmw_z3_history.htm

obviously you have not drove the 3.0 as it sounds as good if not better than the rest. When we bought ours we tried all models from the 1.9 through the range and the 3.0 was the more awsome of all of them.

We were looking for an Audi TT 225 model, my missus then saw a blue zed 1.9 in the same garage and after just sitting in it she went straight off the tt :D . I would though say drive as many dif versions as you can as there is quite a bit of difference power wise. We ended up going for the 3.0 as it...

If you want raw power then its got to be either the 2.8 or 3.0 straight six. There is no comparison. I have only had min 2 weeks now and tried all 4 from 1.9 to the 3.0 and just had to have the 3.0 paid top price but was worth every penny. You can not beet the gentle roar of the engine. I could not ...

Tried it. All good now Thanx again Titan

anytime badboy

Thanx Titan will check it out. Still trying to find my way around and also going through the Posts. Looks like i have a lot of reading to do

I was told it was to hold Satnav instead of putting it on screen. Checked with mine and the rubber does fit onit so hey ho maybe so.

Was going to go for the 1.9 or 2.2 till i read about the 3.0 supposed to be one of the best zeds and only made them from 2001 to 2002 so hoping it holds its price a bit better How do you assign a pic so it is on all your posts as a pic and not a link

I am hoping to keep it that way. Just finished putting last coat of protector on just in time looking at the weather we are going to get. Not much chance of taking it out for a run this week hey.

These are the new pics of our zed3. http://img546.imageshack.us/slideshow/p ... 31843.smil

Hi all some new pics of to us our new Zed3. Had it 2 weeks 42k FSH and just transfered new plates. Let me know what you think. As i think it is very tidy for a car 10 years old. Pics can be found at http://img546.imageshack.us/g/27032010059.jpg/

Keep the jimny i will just have the woman

If its anything like a spider to go by they are a nightmare. You have velcros ties and screws and takes about 15mins and thats if you know what you are doing then you have to get the taughtness right so it fits snugly

Hi Z3
Indicators only flash when you lock with the key fob and dont when you unlock. Its done this way so no one knows you have unlocked the car and can jump in and nick it before you get there ( mind they would have to be bloody quick)
billz

Word of caution with Alfa's very tempermental with the electrics. Mine had only 52000 on clock and had to have Fuse box fixed apparently well known for packing up. cost £175. Alarm packed up so installed Toad Cat1 £325 total closure. and when i traded it in injection light came on dread to think the...

Hi all new on here. Just want to find out what you all think about PTFE and is it worth using, at the moment i am using Autogleam SRP and always have very easy to use but am thinking of swapping to Meguiars
bill

Hi tim. The Z3 compared to the Spider well no comparison. Mind i have gone from 2.0l 150 bhp top end 134 to a 3.0l 231 bhp top speed 149. Only got it a week ago today and expected it to be quick but i have to admit it is frightenly so. How do i post pics on here ?
bill

Hi all, just upgraded from Alfa Spider 2.0 to Z3 3.0 excellent nick and want to keep it that way. what is the best wax/polish to use. I have been told about PTFE anyone used this or could anyone recommend a good one to use. I am at present using Autogleam. Oooh and how do i upload pics of car on her...
