I remember changing the interior on my 1.9 some years back, the dash was a slightly different colour. I think it is like that on all the blue dashboards.

yep, just seen the press photo of the Estoril interior and the dash and console is indeed a lighter colour to the seats.
took the VIN off the new dash and it was coming off fairly easy, until it ripped in half.... so that is one to watch... I wonder if warming it with a hairdryer first will help? Anyone on here proficient in 'ringing' cars?

Re: What did you buy your Z3 this week ?
Ive been buying for the whole fleet this week.
The Z got some Gummi Phledge (sp) and will be having a proper clean tomorrow night, while i am at work!! Just hope nothing kicks off.
The new Saab 9-3 got some proper mats, the key sent off for repair, a new brake light bulb and some screen wash. Dealer i got it from didnt bother to fill it up!!
The Primera estate got parked in a corner of the drive and put on ebay.
The corsa, which my son is using, got a massive dent in the offside when someone drove into it as my lad turned right. The lad had right of way. this will result in it being a write off.
So,
I bought/am in the process of buying a replacement for the Corsa, possibly a megane scenic, 307, something like that so it is cheap for the son to insure.
The bike, Suzuki V Strom did 2 miles, in between rain storms.

Re: What did you buy your Z3 this week ?
Correct the 453 is the replacement for the 452 but if you shop around they are still available and at very cheap prices, fronts were £78 each and the rears £94 each - not bad eh?Z3cade wrote:cooknerkid wrote:---Am I missing something here???

How does that work then? My zed wheels don't have central holes in them. Can see it working for the wires on my frog as they use spinners on a splined hub, but not the zed.colb wrote:Wheel trolly stand for my summer wheels, spent some of my Christmas money already.

My wheels have a centre hole that gets covered by the plastic BMW logo filler badge when on the car.
No centre hole maybe a rack would be the answer?
Drawback is the price £99 + 9.99 post on ebay
If your handy I reckon you coukld make one out of angle iron and either bolt it or weld it together for less than that.

Re: What did you buy your Z3 this week ?
Busy fitting 2 new Infinity 2Reference" 105 watt speakers...in the doors...they fit into the doorcard just aft of the little storage compartment. 4" duals. One completed......taking a tea break before I get to the other side... I'm hoping to get more "surround" sound than from the footwell and the tweeters.
Re: What did you buy your Z3 this week ?
all the bits came from fleabay
you just have to keep an eye out for zeds that are being broken and if you are lucky you might find one thats got some fitted.
took me a few goes before i got hold of a pair.
the deflector was from ebay too again none show up for ages then you get 2/3 at once.
just like the the good old bus

Re: What did you buy your Z3 this week ?
Well I was toying with the idea of making an offer on some CSL style alloys I saw just before Christmas in the marketplace section, but the thread seem to have vanished. Maybe it's done me a favour though as I think they might have needed a refurb as well so would have become a bit of an expense in the end. I just fancy something a little bigger than the 16" ones mine came with (even my OH's Mini has 17" wheels and my work diesel too).
