I have a '99 "T" plate facelift 2.8 manual. Mileage is just over your target at 91,000 but it's in excellent condition. I've spent a lot keeping this car up to scratch. It's silver with a blue roof (new BMW roof fitted 3 years ago). Extended blue/black sports interior. Heated/electric seat...

I have a 99 2.8 facelift in silver. It has extended blue/black leather interior. In general it's in extremely good condition (a few stone chips as usual) & gets lots of TLC. Mileage is just over 91,000. Service history is mostly complete. I've had the car about 3 years now & just after I bou...

Hoping someone can help me.

My 1999 facelift 2.8 Z3 is looking good apart from the wheel bolts/nuts which are looking decidedly manky. Can anyone recommend somewhere where I can buy some nice replacements & also tell me what size the bolt/nut is.

Many thanks.

Milo

Looks like a good product. A quick question though: My Z3 has a BMW dark blue roof. Would it be safe to use on a blue roof?

Hope someone has an answer. Many thanks.

Milo

Hope you're having a great vacation.

Nice to see that Z3 owners on the other side of the pond have the same car park fears - white Z3 parked right across 2 bays!

Spotted a metallic grey Z3 waiting for a ferry to Le Havre on 6th August with plate ending TTE - jealous as we were in our large diesel MPV! Then saw a lovely Dakar Z3 going into Sainsburys in Cobham last Saturday - very nice!

Milo

I often see a very smart looking white Z4M Coupe travelling through South London (Wandsworth/Battersea) early in the morning. Number plate ending JJP. Anyone on here?

Milo

Quick question. Would the front headlights off this car fit a facelift 2.8 Z3? Looking to get rid of the orange look to the headlights. Any comments greatly appreciated.

Milo.

One facelift Topaz blue 2.2 in Waitrose carpark. Parked next to it but was in my Toyota Verso. Then driving back saw a pre- facelift Topaz blue Z parked in the high street. Anyone on here?

Doug,

Arrived yesterday & fitted straight away. Very neat work. Many thanks indeed.

Thanks for today. Great route - shame about the multiple Prius that were about! Good to meet you all & thanks for posting the pictures too.

Milo

I'm up for this but have to be back for about 1pm. Do you think that's ok?

Milo

Dave, I'd be interested in a little run out at some point over the weekend, except tomorrow. When/where were you thinking about? I'm near Surbiton. There are some nice roads around Box Hill/Dorking area. If you're interested in doing something maybe you can PM me your phone number & we can talk ...

Milo

Does the actuator have to be from the front door of an E36 or will a rear door actuator from an E36 work as well? Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Milo

Does anyone know where I can get the chrome trim that goes on the central brake light that's on the boot lid? Many thanks in advance.

Milo

Tried the Meguiars product but didn't do much. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Milo

I bought one of the roadster solutions covers from a forum member. Very good & very quick & easy to take on & off. Recommended.

Milo

Thanks for the replies. I'll try either the Autosmart or Meguiars. I'll let you know how I get on. If anyone else has any input it would be most appreciated. Glorious day today. Roof down at 07:15 was nippy but certainly blew away the cobwebs on the way to play golf. First round in 6 months - was on...

Milo

My aerial grommet started to disintegrate and some of the debris appears to have stuck to the paintwork around it. Any tips for safely removing this? Tried autoglym polish but that only got some off.

Any tips greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Milo

My first vehicle was a Yamaha Fizzy too, derestricted of course!

First car was a Renault 14 I bought for £400 back in 1987. That was a really poor car!

Milo

No problem Wonderloaf.

Car already had the blue roof when I bought it last March. Apparently the original roof was vandalised & the owner's insurance paid for a brand new roof from BMW at which point the owner elected to go for a blue roof. I think the blue roof really suits a silver Z3.

Milo

Any members in the London/Home Counties area fancy a drive that day? Was forced to watch the Charles/Diana wedding when I was kid. No intention of doing that this time around so very much up for a drive if anyone else in the area fancies it. Thanks.

Milo

I have a silver '99 2.8 with a blue hood. Happy to send you some photos if you PM an email address.

Was about to treat my hood but was worried the usual products wouldn't be safe on a blue rather then black roof. Anyone got any comments on that? Thanks.

Oxo, Loving the white Z3 - very nice & I actually like the white dials. I have a full outdoor cover for the Z3. Very good condition & comes with a bag to put the cover in when not in use. Elasticated around the edges so stays on the car very securely. Goes about half way down the wheels. Not...

Mine is an old nickname I had. Came from a character in the book Catch 22.

Nice day on Saturday. Had quite a few trips to make here & there. Top down all day. Fantastic.

Michael,

Thanks for your reply.

Still toying with getting a remap so this is very helpful feedback.

Agree with you on the Ring badge - are you planning on taking the Z3M round so you can put the badge back on? Love to do the Ring - on my list of things to do. Thanks again.

Very nice. The stone guards look really good on a silver Z3 - have them on my facelift 2.8

I'd be interested to hear what you thought of Evolve & the differences the remap made.

Thanks & welcome to the Forum.

Milo

I have a set going spare. £15 ono + postage. If anyone is interested send me a PM. Thanks.

Milo

Glad it made such a difference. I was thinking about getting this done to my facelift 2.8 but couldn't understand which parts I needed to order. There seem to be quite a few options on the Powerflex web page for the 2.8 What parts do I need to order? And if it's not a rude question how much did it c...

Milo

Happy Monday to all. The clip that holds the driver's side indicator on my 99 facelift 2.8 Z3 has broken. Phoned BMW but the clip isn't available on it's own & I don't want to pay £35 for another whole indicator. Does anyone have one lying around that they'd be prepared to part with? Many thanks...

Milo

Jontt,

Thanks for the reply. Did a search on Ebay - there seem to be lots of different styles & types. Do you (or any one else for that matter) know which type works best for the Z3 side lights?

Are they easy to fit?

Thanks & apologies for more questions.

Milo

Jontt,

I'd like to fit LED bulbs in the side lights. Can you expand on what bulbs I need to get? Yousay "501" but I don't know what that means. Please pardon my ignorance. Many thanks.

Welcome. That car looks in really good order from the photographs. I hope your search is successful. I lived in Australia for a year when I was 18 & always regretted going home. I do get down to Sydney about once a year on business & always love going back. I've had my Z3 almost a year now &...

I've been a biker since I was 18 - FS1E was the start of 25 years of biking. Rode across Australia on a Yamaha XS250 special, then 3 months later rode back on a Yamaha XS750 - much quicker journey! Spent the three months working as a bike courier in Melbourne - now that's blood money! And for a Brit...

Wow -that sounds amazing. I feel very envious.

Hope you have a great time & look forward to hearing how it went. I wonder whether you'll be allowed to take photos?

Hello everybody, I've owned my Z3 1999 2.8 facelift since March this year & have thoroughly enjoyed the spring/summer/autumn with lots of top down action. Since I bought the car I've added a few items, mostly thanks to very helpful forum members: Stone guards (thanks to Hang Em High) which look ...

Milo

I'm interested in the roll hoops as my 1999 2.8 doesn't have them. Apart from the hoops themselves what else would I need in order to add these to the car? Unless you have the other bits I need that is. I look forward to any replies. Thanks in advance.

Milo

Has my Z3 since March this year - 2.8 1999 facelift model. Loving it so far. However it was MOT day yesterday & there were 2 "advisories" noted: (1) Rear brake discs starting to corrode. (2) One front suspension slightly leaking. What would people advise regarding replacement brands fo...

Question for you: Does the E46 gear knob fit straight on to the existing Z3 gearstick or is some modification required? Are all E46 gear knobs 6 speed? Many thanks.

I might be interested in the wind deflector. What is the distance in between the two pins? Believe there are two versions - just want to make sure your one will fit. Many thanks.
