Where are you?

Buz007

What sort of condition?

Buz007

Mazza,

I’d take the full beige interior if you knew someone who could swap for me?

Buz007

Do you have any beige floor mats?

Buz007

I’m still here! Often refer back when I’m doing bits and bobs on the car. I joined this site back in my 20's when I first bought my Z3 and here I am, 15 years later, at the right age to play James Bond

Buz007

No worries pal, good luck in your search. They are great cars to own

Buz007

Hi Mate, I am.

Possibly not the engine you’re after tho?

Buz007

https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202201040984398 My beloved Z3 is for sale. I’ve owned it for 12 years and my ownership journey can be logged throughout the threads of this website. It’s immaculate, and being a proper car enthusiast, that’s reflected in its condition. The time has come to ow...

Buz007

Hi There,

Would you consider selling the Beige Mats separately?

Thanks

prevents freezing in cold temperatures. The engine warms the pipes

Thanks Chaps, I'm very pleased with the workmanship he's done a sterling job. Wasn't a happy camp for a while but now all is well in the world!

Buz007

so...my Mrs decide to reverse into my Z a few months back now, ( expletives deleted ) the day after I'd claybar-ed it which was convenient. I managed to source a new bonnet and headlight in a reclamation yard near stoke and got to work. The bonnet was nowhere near as described...despite being Atlant...

Buz007

sometimes an earth fault can cause the alarm to continuously sound. I had my bonnet re-sprayed recently and removed all the washer pipes and insulation shield etc myself. once my beautiful new bonnet was back on I forgot to connect up the earth cable which is in the far right had corner as you look ...

Buz007

Have a great time, spent a lot of time in France whereabouts are you heading?

Buz007

I used to find green flag the cheapest however I've since discovered that adding euro driving to your existing cover is the cheapest daft as it sounds

Buz007

Brilliant advice guys thank you

Buz007

Thanks All that's great, will post some pics to this thread once I've started.

Hello All,

I'm thinking of setting some time aside this summer to remove the arch liners and a few panels and get the the underside cleaned and sealed up. Has anyone done this before? or is there a thread on this?

Cheers

Buz

Buz007

it'll do another 101 the way you look after it. Looks superb

Buz007

Is the interior still available?

Thanks

Buz007

101k? Time for the scrap heap surely

Buz007

Scratch that, just had a look on the website and the ones which sit on the seats look awful! don't want to fit roll hoops if I can help it. Will prob go for the one that fits in between the hoop mounts.

Do the wind deflectors work? i'm just thinking of my Mrs hair, it really annoys her!

Thanks

Buz007

Thanks All,

Don't suppose you still have the 'turret type' available do you Mr T?

Buz007

I'm after a wind deflector for a 1999 1.9 one of those that goes on without roll hoops, it sort of sits between the 2 pillars. Anyone?

Many Thanks

Marc

Buz007

hah thanks everyone

Buz007

I have the concierge keys and main key but would like a spare fob key, lost it ages ago when having a clear out but over £200 seems like daylight robbery!

Buz007

Lost my spare key.

Just been quoted from BMW Leeds...are you sitting down.... £183 for the key only!!!! £60 to programme it!!!!! I nearly fainted. Any one know of an alternative supplier for a fobbed key? Ive noticed you can get a £40 blank off ebay are they any good?

Cheers

Buz007

traffic pro. got all manuals and CD's for sat nav. £40 plus post?

Buz007

I Have a Becker Head unit for sale if you wanted it?

Buz007

Just tried the 8 second trick....doesn't work! Anyone else had any success?

Buz007

superb. many thanks!

Buz007

really? Would you need the serial number? I am struggling to believe a BMW dealer would give you anything for free??!!!

Buz007

Hi There All!

Just refitted my original BMW Business RDS head unit and of course I've lost the code. Does anyone have the software on their laptop which churns out a code if you type in the serial number? Would obviously pay for your trouble

Cheers

Hi there, I've gone back to my z this morning after being garaged for 7 months, I left the alarm on (stupidly) and all im getting now is a ticking sound when turning the key....Am I correct to assume I've killed my battery???? hoping beyond hope its not a complex immobiliser issue!

Thanks

Buz007

Collecting 2 from Wakefield BMW this morning, 2.40 each, Z is now up on the blocks waiting for its 2 new bolts with the loctite and torque spanner on the workbench!

Thanks again chaps, legendary service and advice. A pint of anything awaits you next time your in north Leeds!

Buz007

Genius. Thanks so much Gookah. That right there is why this site is so good!

Buz007

Good shout do you reckon they'll have one? Will try a wheel nut as a temp fix. Thanks!

Buz007

Sorry for shouting but it's an emergency! I've been using my z quite a bit over the past few weeks as my Mrs is awaiting delivery of her new car so has been using my daily driver in the meantime. It doesn't arrive till next Friday and on driving home from work tonight I discovered a nasty shudder wh...

Buz007

MUDFLAPS!! It's not a Landrover!

Buz007

Looks superb, excellent colour choice and interior combo

Buz007

Rekindling an old thread but just wanted to say thanks to some of the contributors on this thread, it's all very informative and helped me make my mind up on what to do with my steering wheel. I didn't fancy the rewiring for a raid wheel (although Jontts piece is very clear) so eventually went for a...

My 5 year old just said it looks like Lightning McQueen.....not sure if that's a compliment? But he likes it, even when so far as to say ''daddy can we paint yours Red and White like lightning McQueen''.....!

I said no

Buz007

Hi del, Firstly I use the performance unleaded all the time anyway, just to take extra care of the engine. The tourque has definitely improved and the engine just seems to run smoother, not that it was a bag of spanners so before but there is definitely an improvement. Very surprising considering he...

Buz007

Just had my 1.9 remapped. As I have an ’OEM fetish' I don't want to make many physical alterations to the car or engine. Therefore I contacted my local chap who came recommended, I have to say he was very honest in the assessment of the potential improvements one could achieve with a 4 pot, however ...

Buz007

Oh dear lord

Looks like a very good job. Fair play to you

Buz007

Brilliant

Buz007

Hi has this now sold?

Buz007

Top gear is the only thing I watch on TV. Gutted clarkson has been suspended. Hopefully it will be reinstated soon.

And by the way. I would vote for Southernboy. Extremely well put that man

Buz007

Just emailed Jack based on everyone's recommendations, big thanks yet again to Jontt who's write up on the removal of the wheel was spot on. Got it off in about 20mins.

hopefully I'll hear back pretty quick and I'll get it sent off
