Just an oil filter, an air filter and 6.5 litres of Penrite HPR 5 , 5w/ 30 oil. Also a good inspection by my mechanic. Like to do this on any car I buy, don't know what previous owner did or did not do to her.

Finally got round to fitting the post 2000 E46 style steering wheel I wanted on mine when I ordered it in 1999, it's in good condition but I'll use it as is for the rest of the season then give it the Royal treatment over the winter.

Re: What did you buy your Z3 this week ?
Some of us have fitted the Raid steering wheel
http://www.zroadster.net/forum/viewtopi ... 32&t=34180
It's 320mm in diameter but maintains the airbag. They are not cheap but dramatically improve the driving experience.

Okay, so I can gloat now; I can picked these up for under £150 (£195 delivered). Surely that has to be the bargain of the year?yalden wrote:I think they tend to go for £600+ nowadays so I was very happy to find a set on eBay for a fraction of that!

sun is out and you have the roof up... you should still feel ashamed.....

I have an element of 'M-styling' on my car, If that's a good enough reason for the manufacturers to adorn a 320 with the M badge, then its certainly a good enough reason for me..
Re: What did you buy your Z3 this week ?
Looks great. Mine is original still but could benefit from a replacement in time as some of the stitching has u picked. Presumably you can't replace the rear screen on an unoriginal roof? If not then keep up the maintenance.martin41052 wrote:Thanks to Soft Tops of Croydon who fitted a nice smart roof earlier today.
I spent out on an Inspection II Service and full brake refresh; discs, pads, sensors, shoes.

Full set of Brembo brakes, cruise control kit and a set of seat bushes.
Looking for a facelift rear heated screen switch at the moment but there seems to be more rocking horse sh*t available than these. Just one on EBay in the US at $85, I'll pass on that.

Yes. It will stay there until the recipient logs in, at which point it will move to Sent. phpBB does not work like Outlook.Rory4711 wrote:Reply sent this morning, but I see it sits in 'out' box instead of 'sent messages' box - is that normal ?

Re: What did you buy your Z3 this week ?
A 4€ rear diff paper gasket. Dirt cheap part, bit of a pain to replace. Drain plug washer was cracked and oil was seeping out, so I figured I'd do the gasket too, while I was there. Couldn't've done it without a 'helper' sat in the boot to realign bolts with holes. Pleasantly surprised to not find a big deposit of filings on the magnet. And all is dry so far. Would have taken pics if I wasn't ashamed of the exterior aspect of the diff. Rust remedy and paint on the purchase list...

Re: What did you buy your Z3 this week ?
Had a new stainless steel back box made and fitted by LongLife, sound is not bad but it gives a buzz in the ears at some revs which is not nice. Has anyone else had this ?
Re: What did you buy your Z3 this week ?
For mine, a brand new oil filter, air filter, and six litres of lovely fresh golden Long Life oil.

Replacement hood from Dean at Croyden softtops. Excellent service at a great price. Agree with all the other good reviews. Recommended.
Re: What did you buy your Z3 this week ?
I got my car MOT'd yesterday at local BMW main dealer. Passed with no advisories, so I'm very pleased. Mechanic said the car is in exceptionally good condition for it's age, including underneath, which is great news, because I'm not planning to part with it!
Re: What did you buy your Z3 this week ?
My Steering Wheel is leather. Personally, one layer of leather between my hands and the wheel is all I need! Looks cool?? in the summer, my hands would be anything but cool! In the winter I direct the facia vents onto my hands which also heats my face and neck. Anyway...... I look far to cool as it is without any accessories!deni2s wrote:Driving gloves is like shoe trees for good shoes. I think it's cool, thinking myself about buying classic driving gloves.

Bought some EBC Reedstuff Pads front and rear. Zimmermann cross drilled Discs front and rear, plus a plethora of replacement plastic trim bits from the dealers.
Just waiting for some dampers, springs and bushes to pop up at the right price then I can get my hands dirty (again)!
