For a Z3 3.0 with LSD capacities are:
Gearbox 1.3 litres
Diff 1.7 litres
So you actually have to buy 2 x 1 litre bottles of each.

Gearbox and Diff
I've never really believed in this "sealed for life" malarky for gearboxes and diffs. If it's done 50,000 or more miles how can it not benefit from new oil? Anyway, I've just changed the oil in the gearbox and diff on my 3.0 Z3. I used Fuchs Titan Sintofluid SAE 75W-80 for the gearbox and ...

Jonttt,
You said this brace rubbed a bit on the soundproofing but what was the clearance like over the engine?
The e-tech brace seems to be very close to the engine. See pics in this thread.

Thanks Ian I was hoping somebody had actually installed one. The diagnostic socket is on the n/s on my car too so I'd have the same issue and rerouting a hose, while fairly trivial, is a bit of a nuisance. Maybe I'll go for an e-tech brace instead. Anybody got one of those who'd care to comment? Che...

Chromiumtech Strut Brace
Does anybody have any experience or opinion about this strut brace? http://www.chromiumtech.co.uk/product.asp?pID=94&cID=15 I've been on the look out for a while and this is a little different. Strong Struts are just to expensive at the moment. The E-tech brace looks OK and is a more conventiona...

Is your Castrol oil labelled as "LL04" which I believe is the latest BMW approved standard?
Also, you could ask the guys at Opie Oils - they're very knowledgeable and can be very helpful.
Also likely to be cheaper than a BMW $tealer.

Welcome to the forum . I've got a 3.0 Z3. If it's not the same engine as your Z4 it's got to be a close relative! It uses oil too. It worried me at first but folks around here all said TADTS. It's normal. Just keep topping it up. Your Castrol SLX 0w30 is, I think, a fully synthetic oil. Some people ...

Where does the plastic screen of the roof touch the Perspex screen? Is it low down near the bottom edge of the perspex screen? Just sorta thinking out loud here, but if the version with the slight bend in it had a cutaway so it didn't prevent the storage bin opening, would it still do the job as a w...

Thanks for the comments guys. Don't be too hard on the Lotus. Mine had carpets (optional extras) and the heater was fine. It is good to be able to put the roof up or down in 10 seconds rather than 10 minutes though. :) The Z3 is just so much more civilised while still being a lot of fun. The Lotus i...
