Thanks for the info Brian H, have sorted my drivers seat, now I can get the backrest at a comfotable angle as the seat was jammed fully back

Cheers, Bonzo.

Hi all, can anyone recommend one of the above, that works, is simple to use, without a laptop and doesn't cost a bomb. I need to check out the old airbag light again after my wife sat down very heavily on the passenger seat ( prior to that, been working ok! ) Also I will need to reset the service li...

Hi all, great to put faces to the usernames! Really enjoyed meeting you guys last night, and enjoyed the natter and banter. Super pics Toby, well done. Hey Roger, fancy seeing you again as a Zedder, it certainly is a small world. Have a great holiday John, let us know how many Z3's you spot out in C...

Deano, your comment does not stand up! Who is to say the guy that wired your house was a qualified electrician. Could just as easily been a cowboy or a chancer! There were a lot of them around at that time. I've been a sparks since 1964 and although the government have tried to regulate and stamp ou...

Tuesday at The White Hart Stopham it is! See you there, and any others that can turn up. I will be there from around 7.30-7.45pm

Cheers all,Bonzo

If you get electrical work wrong, you risk fire, shock and electrocution. I have seen so many "done -it - myself" dangerous electrical installations! Gas and electrical work should only be carried out and tested by skilled people. About ten people a year die in the home from unsafe electri...

Bonzo

How about Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday next week? (w/commencing 15th July). Or wait until holiday commitments go by?
Lets have all your replies and preferences please a.s.a.p.

Cheers, Bonzo.

looking forward to your report Bonzo.[/quote] The car park in The Black Horse at Byworth is a little tight for space in my opinion. The car park in The White Hart at Stopham is much more spread out and picturesque, ideal for photographs. The beer garden is right next to the car park, so it's just a ...

Bonzo

I'll drive over and check out the parking situation at The Black Horse. I think it may be a bit tight . All depends on how many will be attending. It was a a nice pub the last time I went.

Cheers, Bonzo.

Bonzo

My thoughts exactly!

Bonzo

I wish I knew what you lot are talking about.

Ah well! Cheers, Bonzo.

Bonzo

Brand snobbishness? or perhaps their Z3's are just not that important to them! Who knows? But I'll still keep waving and smiling when I see another one.

Bonzo.

Bonzo

I waved three fingers to a lady Z3 driver through the windscreen of my company van and got an enthusiastic wave back! Of course she was probably a fan and recognised me!

Bonzo

Hey fellas, have you seen these bitches?

Bonzo

Put me on too please...I work awkward shifts so I may end up not being able to go, but we'll see! Let us know in advance what evenings are free for you if you can, I'm sure we can pick one that is ok for you. I would much prefer weekday evenings if possible, (a lot of other stuff going on at weeken...

Bonzo

Count me in guys. A suitable pub would be The White Hart, Stopham bridge betwixt Pulborough and Fittleworth, Good car parking to line the Zeds up and beautifull location. Some pub's car parks are not suitable, but hey, I'm easy as to which pub we use. Bonzo.

Bonzo

Sorry, I forgot to mention my first car. A green 1958 (I think ) Austin A35. I bought it in 1967 for £125. The engine oil was castrol mixed with sawdust and the bodywork mainly filler. I proudly took my new girlfriend out in it to Boxhill in Surrey for a picnic, and on the way back down went off on ...

Bonzo

Born in June 1943, neither the Zed nor I will be laid up for the winter. Must get around to getting that bus pass :roll: I have an idea - why don't we form a sub-division of ZRoaster - the OFS (Old Farts Syndicate) for those born up to 1950. We could have a separate entry in the Forum next to The B...

Any West Sussex Z3 Zedders out there?, I'm from the Pulborough area! If you see a Montreal Blue Z3 with Alpina Wheels it's probably Zelda. All waves returned!!

Bonzo

Hi Leadpipelouie, and welcome. Blimey, you're brave, buying a car you know has a problem like that. Best of luck getting it sorted though!

Cheers, Bonzo.

Bonzo

Gotcha.

Bonzo

Err...........sorry, but what the hell is a marmite car?

Bonzo

Why do you need rear mudflaps? Its all plastic behind the back wheels on a Z3 isn't it? Front ones deffo to protect the sills though!

Bonzo.

Bonzo

Hah, you got me there Gookah.

Anyway, I've ordered my front mudflaps from Roadster Solutions!

Cheers, Bonzo.

Bonzo

The pic looks like a rear mudflap! Or is it me?

Hi, I am new to the group and so hello to everyone. my Z3 is without a doubt my favourite car of all time, I absolutely love it. I have to say aswell, that it is the most beautiful car that I have owned, so much so my wife is now questioning why I keep going to look at it and I would even say she i...

Bonzo

Geoff, your Z3 could be my Z3lda's twin sister! Same spec, virtually the same options and the beautiful Montreal Blue which looks gorgeous, especially in the sun. Somewhere along the line though the Z-star alloys were swopped for 17" 8J retro Alpina wheels, which I personally prefer, and Angel ...

Hi Matt, I'm a fairly new Z3dder and am still bowled over by mine. Go to the Z3 knowledgebase and type in 'tips for buying a Z3'. lots of info there. Anything posted by Mike Fishwick is well worth taking on board, and there are many other machanically minded Z3dders on the forum. Also quote the last...

Bonzo

All I did was to phone a BMW dealer, quote last 7 digits of the VIN number and ask him for the spec and options lists, (series and ordered), which he faxed over. Very interesting to a newbie. You could do it both ways and compare results. (Said the actress to the Bishop) :) Didn't know I had M-sport...

Is it a road legal thing or a race car? Anyway, where would Kelly Brook sit? On your lap?

Oh dear! Ferdinand mate, my reaction to your post held no malice or ill feeling at all, and I wasn't taking the pee!

Interesting post Gookah. I guess I'd better add my dream car choice. I guess it's generation thing, but I think the Veyron is ugly, however dynamically advanced and powerful it is. A very important thing about my dream car is that it has to be very pleasing to the (my) eye as well as having a very g...

Bonzo

Hi all, just to clear this topic up. When the spec and options list arrived from Chandlers Angmering, the order options included the K.P.H. predominant speedo. The car was a European spec. , the VIN number was not recognised on the U.K. listing ,but showed up on the German one.

Thanks all, Bonzo.

Bonzo

Chromeline interior is various bits of random chrome dotted around the cabin. From memory, it is chrome door handles, handbrake button, ashtray lid wotsit and rings around the gauges on the instrument pod. I think every car beyond about mid-98 has it. Cheers R. Thanks for that info Robert T, yes, I...

Bonzo

Hi Wildeboy, yes, but it lists it as ' LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL (25%) ' in the series options list, followed by 'A.S.C.+ TRACTION' Followed by a long list of ordered options. I phoned Chandlers of Angmering in West Sussex (parts dept) for the spec. and options lists, they were very helpful, and pos...

Bonzo

Your car will have an LSD - give a dealer your VIN code, and ask for a printout the options list - it will be listed as a 'Sperredifferential 25%' The ASC and LSD are seperate non-connected systems, and operate in different manners. See my article in the Z3 Knowledgebase for details on changing tra...

Found it!!!! I reported a while ago about a glass on metal type of annoying ''Rattle '' from the N/Side heard inside the car when driving. After having dismantled most of the dash and Air Bag assembly in an effort to locate it, it took my wife to suggest driving the car with the bonnet up and of co...

Hi all, just to let you know Zelda is behaving herself now after her hissy fit over the duff battery. She is admired by all my chums, and I just can't get enough of driving around with her top down. Sooo good! :P Okay, I have a question for you boffins out there. My April 1998 2.8 supposedly has an ...

Bonzo

We all must have a dream car, a car that having won the lottery we can actually now afford. So, is it an American muscle car? Italian exotica?
We all have our lovely Z3's granted, and probably would not part with them, but what would you choose as its stablemate?
Bonzo.

Bonzo

Sounds like either the car or the instrument cluster has been imported. The MPH scale would be the dominant (and outer) one on a UK spec car with the KPH numbers being quite small indeed. If you type the last 7 digits of your VIN into either RealOEM or BMWFans , you may find what country it was spe...

Bonzo

Been meaning to mention this! Zelda's speedo has larger K.P.H. than m.p.h. figures on the speedo face! Why

ps took her out this evening for a good run after the new battery fitted yesterday. Lets hope that's and end to that problem. Just need the airbag light reset now.

Cheers, Bonzo.

Bonzo

Hi again Wildeboy and thanks for the info. I live in West Sussex.

Bonzo

Well, I tried to fire Zelda up this afternoon and ............ yup, battery not enough juice to arouse her. Indicator colour shows a battery with a big cross through it. Kaput! :head: New one hopefully being fitted tomorrow, and I've ordered a new C-TEX battery charger as well. Now I've just got to ...

Bonzo

Thanks for all the advice guys. As you know I'm a new Z3 owner, so a friendly and helpful forum like this is brilliant.
