Re: Airbag light

Have now purchased off ebay a b800 airbag reset tool for less than 16 quid. Worked a treat so if you live in the Doncaster area and have the dreaded airbag light problem there is a b800 on a shelf in my garage

Airbag light

Hi All after 7 years of completely trouble free motoring my 1999 z3 1.9 has developed its first fault. Pesky airbag light has come on. It appears I need a B800 reset tool but before I buy one is there any member in the Doncaster area who has one I could try. I would be happy to pay. Cheers Mod Edit:...

Re: What to look for ? (viewing Z3 tomorrow)

A manual roof is much quicker and simpler so nothing much can go wrong. And who needs aircon when you are driving along with the roof down and a big smile on your face which I am sure you will have. Just go for it I did and don't regret it ever
