Its good to see a few new faces joining the cruise. Jim less of the much better half, she knows which side her bread is buttered on. (both sides) lol

billz

Will be nice to see the beast again, especially now you have had the suspension redone

billz

I know there is a lot going on what with the west country and batlefields run but i can not believe the little response this has generated. Jims welsh cruises are some of the best cruises you can get. Fab roads scenery and company. You can even treat your other halfs by having a dirty night away lol...

billz

I think if you had seen Zedonists posts on another topic reguarding scantily clad woman, you might have realised

Just watch out as you may be required to pay import tax which may then bring the cost over what you would pay from a uk seller

Cant wait to give old zeddy a good run out and also for the karting see if i can keep up

Come on guys n gals get ya names down first proper run out for the year.

billz

Well worth getting fault codes read. As a faulty sensor could be causing you to use more fuel. We have had tk replace the exhaust and now the inlet one has gone and on both occations mpg dropped to 21mpg

We have the 3.0 Z3 and get around 28mpg on short runs and around 32mpg on long runs. The 3.0 is supposed to be the most economical on mpg over most of the other Z3s. A lot depends on how you drive, if we do a spirited drive then it drops to around 24/26mpg

The whole of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Cheshire, North and West Wales is to name but a few are my work area. Thats what you get as a Mobile Service Engineer.

2001 full sport version over 3k spent on it. We have owned it for the last 3 years

If we could find the right Z4 ours would of been up for sale, but it has done 72k but has just had Insp 2 service, water pump and belts changed.

A big welcome from another 3.0 in Nottingham.

I have the chrome angeleyes and they look so much better than the Oem ones. Really brings the front of the car to life and looks so shiney. Pic in post above. I can say it is worth the expense. I paid around £220 for ours
bill

billz

I also got one the last time they came along. Really good fit and looks better than the OEM one.
bill

billz

Ours is used every day and i wont allow it to get dirty

Wash it as soon as i see the dirt as it washes off the salt as well. Dont like my cars to rust lol

billz

As most will know i am an active member on here and also another site. There is a cruise that has just been arranged for this Sunday weather permitting. Dodworth, Settle, Hawes and back to Dodworth This is the link, all are welcome http://zroadster.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2467&p=29678#...

After the trip to the GP you could always pick a route back taking in the Alps coming back through Italy and Switzerland. Stay over at Mulhouse and visit the Motor Museum.
bill

billz

I just use the recommended NGK ones but then again they do get replaced every year due to having inspection 2 at all service intervals
bill

billz

We have the chrome ones on ours. Looks will depend on car colour. The chrome ones brighten the front end up which is good for our car with it being silver but probably wouldnt look as good on a dark colour car. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/01/31/9e5yqyde.jpg Not a brill pic will try and post a bette...

I had no confidence in the zed around corners (was awful). The main transformation was putting conti sport tyres on and the cornering was really improved but now after fitting Bilstein B8s all round and lowering 25mm it will now hold its own against most cars on the corners. Had a run around the Evo...

billz

Well i didnt use mine from last year so i will just leave them in my euro bag, then if they change there mind again when i am over there i will already have it

billz

Looks nice,look even better for £6000- :) Dont be put off by the auto ,when i put my foot down even some of the M s struggle to keep up. Youve always got the manual,and sports button for even more fun :D :D Moz you wouldnt keep up with me old timer :twisted: Yours is dead slow cant even get it out ...

billz

If you do the mods yourself then it is done the way you want it.. i modded ours substantially from scratch and would do it again.

Kim drives ours on a daily basis and so far for the last 3 winters she has never got stuck and only takes around 45 mins longer, she is always telling me she wouldnt have a 4x4 as she sees more of them stuck than any other motor. Its around 9 miles to her work. Last winter i was closer than her to h...

billz

You have moved it closer to the gate than in the first pic

billz

Tim i believe if this was fitted to the 1.9 and 1.8s then you would also have to modify the rear bumper. They do look nice though and as Southernboy says below half price of what you would expect to find them for.
bill

billz

Wheels came first for me. Then about 3 to 4k of further upgrades.
bill

billz

In all then these will be for the 1.8 or 1.9s
bill

billz

Surprised your getting rid pete, so what are you after ?

billz

The Pioneer has micro sd card slot as well as a few others, so you can load the sd card up slot it in and hey no wires for ancillary stuff also it is satnav ready via Pioneers Satnav dongle.

billz

Thanks guys. Will give us something to mull over now as i am hoping we have plenty of time to do things like this.

After both doing euro trips last year both Me and Mozza have decided to go on holiday in August, obviously we have to take the other halfs Also after posting this up elsewhere Zedwheels has decided to join us in his Alpina We leave Friday 9th August Down to Dover for either Ferry or Channel tunnel F...

We have the Pioneer 7" pop up. It does sit in front of the vents but doesnt snag on them, so all we do is have it down and just pop it up when we want to chose some thing. We also turn those vents off and have it up when the car is warm or if top is down on warm days, http://imageshack.us/scale...

billz

Like i said we are only considering it. Tell the truth we have been on about doing it for the last 6 months, trouble is i can't part with the z3, I like it too much and apart from getting a Z4 which will be a newer car than the Z3, would i enjoy it as much as the z3. Would love to get a Z4 and keep ...

billz

We are considering selling to get a Z4 but will be going for around £4500

Does anyone know how to remove the front bumper marker lights, do i need to remove the bumper to change them.
bill

billz

Thanks Gaz

billz

Are the side repeaters the same on the 1.8 1997 and on the 2001 3.0. Ihave seen some i want to purchase but they say they will fit the 1.8 but not the 3.0.
Any advice would be grateful.

Only thing i have planned for the zed is another euro road trip. Alps/Spain

The BMW range of Alarms are classed as Factory Fitted which falls into the Cat1. It depends if you feel this is adequate, It is also advisable if you fit an aftermarket cat1 system to disengage the Alarm side of the Factory fitted Alarm as they can conflict with each other. The only trouble with the...

billz

Thats why its best to get a cat1 system then you have both.

I was watching 24 series 4 and spotted a silver z3 parked up at the side of the road. They might not be everyones cup of tea but i wouldnt swap ours for any thing else at the moment. Mainly due to there are not many 2 seater sports that can compare with the 3.0 both performance or economy. Its quick...

billz

I am still using the original alarm but i have put the addition of a perimeter alarm on it, just to warn people when they get too close. It is also handy for letting me know if anyone has knocked the car as i have it set to a level too pick that up. I was thinking of adding a pager system but that i...

billz

Whats wrong with the existing alarm ?

billz

I used to fit the toad alarms for a living, Cost around 350 fitted but used to be around 160 to buy at trade price. If you are not very good with wiring then best get some one else to fit it, as you will need to find the isolation wires to the ignition and crank starter. If my mind serves me right (...
