Captain Tooty,

How come your 1.9 has a front bumper from a 2.8? I think I saw this one for sale on ebay if its the same one? :roll:

Hey Tim, Looks like you and me are in the same boat! I too am looking to replace my exhaust on my 1.9. Mine is the 1997 16V, and I too am searching all brands and types that have been fitted to other Z3's. I personally have put it down to 2 now, Supersprint or the Eisenmann. The Eisenmann will requi...

Chrome Dials

Can anyone tell me if I can get those chrome cluster rings directly from BMW before I pay them a visit, and if they dont where on earth can I find the exact ones other than hunting in Ebay? Also I saw a video on YouTube of some chap fitting them in an E36 cluster, he explained how you remove the clu...

I too am considering the Supersprint exhaust as a replacement to my standard old OEM one on my 1.9. Please can you tell me what this exhaust is like, does it give a nice rumble, and has it caused any problems with fitting into the rear cut out i.e melting or knocking etc. Very interested to hear wha...

Eisenmann or Supersprint for my 1.9?

Its time for a new back box, I dont want to replace it with another BMW standard one, want full stainless, tidy twin tips and a lovely growl without sounding like a chav racer! I've watched the Eisenmann Z3 videos on YouTube on the 1.9, and to be honest i'm totally amazed as to how great they sound....

Just had my CAT replaced at a cost of £350 for my 1997 1.9. Only had the car 2 months, and just like yours mine too had a loss of power, scared the life out of me! It too had the rattling of the broken up honeycomb pieces, so had to get it replaced. I have just fitted a K&N panel filter to mine,...

Supersprint seem to have a lot of mention, and very recommend...

A couple more pictures

Heres one with my chrome windscreen fitted, I just wanted this fitted because the car originally came with the black tape like covering on it whcih was peeling at the drivers side edge. This just sets the car off nicely I think. It wasn't too hard to fit, but I had to carefully cut off 2 metal lips ...

I want to get the chrome dial rings for the console, but they after reading the threads of how to replace, they seem a nightmare, plus i dont want after market jobby's, they have to be pushed in then the edges have to be bent around to hold them in, it just looks too daring to take that apart. On eb...

K&N PANEL FILTER FOR 1.9

Just bought the K&N replacement panel filter to change the stock paper filter in my 1.9. However after some research on here i have now learnt that there is a risk of damaging the MAP senser (air flow meter) because of the oil in the filter, so am now in two minds whether to return it for a refu...

Hi guys, Received me updated light clusters this morning, and yes thankyou you are spot on, they do already have the original sidelight hole already in the mirror part. And i can see clearly what you meant by the position of the cast part for the sidelight is capped, so looks simple to drill or cut ...

Thankyou guys, I am really happy now that you say that the newer style still have the original hole in the reflecter/mirror part inside the cluster, so that does only leave me to carefully drill or cut the hole in the outer part. I just didn't think it would. Thought if it was an updated light, they...

What do you mean by the bulb holder, the whole back of the light cluster or just the seperate little plug which is already wired to the car that the bulb slots into?
