Can anyone recommend any decent, preferably silver, locking nuts for the Z3? Bought some off ebay when I bought the new wheels, and they were awful. Back to the BMW ones now, but they're very dark and small, so it looks like I've got a bolt missing on each wheel. Also if possible, I'd like a set whe...

I got mine from this ebay seller:

Good price, even with the postage from Germany, arrived really quickly too.

It's because the ground slopes to a point in the middle, it's not actually like that when it's on flat ground

Finally got round to fitting my M mirrors today, and as other people have mentioned, I've found the flat mirror that came with them a bit lacking in terms of what you can see in it, and want to replace it so both sides have the wide angle mirror. Is something like this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-Z3-...

This bit is important! I put the hard top back on my car too soon after doing this, and it was fine while the roof was on, but as soon as I took it off again, it pulled the sealant apart, and had to do it again.

VikingSven

Try using your key and unlock it from the outside - that's what I did. My passenger door doesn't have a key lock :/ Can I get the door lining off to get to the lock whilst the door is shut? Probably not without ripping all the door card pins out, and getting a good enough grip on the door card to d...

Is that an aftermarket alarm? My car was made a year after yours and has no visible sensors, and the interior LED for it is at the back of the centre console, in a proper looking holder. 4. I think this is the light for illuminating the ash tray. There was one in mine when I took the ash tray out, b...

Just opened the boot up and there's a strong smell of damp, and a bit of condensation around the rubber seals. It's not rained for a few days, but I haven't opened it up for a couple of weeks.
I can't see where water would have got in - are there any common places that it can seep through?

VikingSven

Don't be tempted by the fact that they're a considerably lower price than other brands - they're cheap for a reason! Just taken mine back after it's first use and swapped it for a Karcher (which was on offer for the same price this week, and was £40 more when I bought the Halfords one a couple of we...

Tyre weld + foot pump!

Saw ON Z3 007 in the retail park in Guiseley / Yeadon this afternoon - looking very nice with the top down

Waited around for a bit to see whose it was, but got bored in the end and went home to wash mine

Looking for a hardtop stand for the Z3 roof, anyone got one they're not using any more?

VikingSven

If you mean the clip that holds this to the car:

then you can have my pair of complete amber units for a tenner.

VikingSven

You have PM

VikingSven

Definitely interested - depends if you can courier it to Leeds, and if you can hold it till the end of the month / mid feb. I'm moving house at some point in the next few weeks, but don't have anywhere to store it in our flat at the moment.

VikingSven

Mine were the same, popped them out, sanded them down, resprayed and now they look like new.

Once my M mirrors arrive I'll have mine spare, but they're red, so will need a respray.

Recently purchased a 2.8. Little suprised at the fuel consumption :shock: What should I get from a full tank? Only getting around 200 mile, methinks something is wrong? Tried driving it like an old woman, fuel consumption was worse? I get exactly the same on normal driving to and from work (15mins ...

I can't decide between S123 OMG and S123 WTF

VikingSven

You can't buy it from BMW, it comes as part of the door handle itself, which is >£100.

VikingSven

Interested in body coloured plastic for a 2.8 bumper

VikingSven

Arrived today, thanks!

VikingSven

Payment sent, and PM'd you my address

VikingSven

I don't have a PM

VikingSven

Cool, PM me where you want the money sent (Got Paypal) if you do sell it

VikingSven

Is the arm rest this one?
http://www.justroadster.com/products/Z3 ... mrest.html

If so I'll take it.

VikingSven

IMO its easier and safer to remove the door card than to take the glass out. I resprayed my bases without taking the glass out at all.

VikingSven

Remove the door card, unclip the wiring going into the back of the mirror, turn the mirror vertically on the base and undo the 2 bolts with an allen key.

Where did you find the red and black seats? Been looking for ages for a pair to go in my car (exact same swap as you've done

So did anyone from here win? I'm in San Fran at the mo and had no net access when the auction was ending and didn't manage to sneak another bid in.

VikingSven

I prefer the rear light arrangement on the wide pre-facelift, but like the arches on the facelift - that extra bit of raised bulge looks really good!

VikingSven

Contribution sent - more than happy given the amount of help this site has given me in the short time I've had the car!

The BMW bright red that Halfords sell in cans matches perfectly. I've re-done my wing mirror mounts with it.

I paid £4500 for mine 3 months ago, same year and engine, bit higher mileage (70k) and no hard top.
