Blue hood looks good. Blue on blue is a good colour match. Quick question please. I managed to get the lining of my roof wet. The car was in the garage when the rain came down and the garage door was sloping back towards the car so water run off went into the inside of the car and soaked the lining ...

johnz3

No not to me. I broke the stem when trying to remove the unit so had to buy the lot from the main dealers.

johnz3

Yours if you want it. PM if you do with how you want to pay and your address and I will send off. Thanks

johnz3

Thanks again. I will get a mate to listen and try to identify exactky where the noise is as a start.

johnz3

Thanks for this. Will have agood read later.

johnz3

Hi, hope you get loads of fun out of your car.

johnz3

Just a word of advice re Halfords. Excellent service and colour match was fine. Problem was that when trying to spray, the nozzle would not depress properly meaning uneven spraying. Took it back and they replaced the nozzle. My point is although they depress the nozzle for a micro sec to see if pain...

johnz3

Never thought of that. Thanks.

I use my 3.0i Sport mainly at weekends. E.g this week it sat in the garage from last Sunday night till Friday night. I have noticed since I have had it that when I start it up after 5 or 6 days of in action that a I get a tinny rattle like noise from the engine bay. This will last for very short tim...

johnz3

Cheers. Googled it to see images but not clear.

johnz3

Ok and thanks. Is the Chromeline lighter than the Shadowchrome. Sounds like it should be.

johnz3

My 3.0i Sport has silver wheels. A light silver. I have often thought that they might look a bit more suited to the car if they were a darker silver. Saw a Z3M today up close today and the colour looked good. Do owners know if the Z3M wheels are a particular colour. if not I can always buy a darker ...

At a summer fair/car show in Billericay Essex. Was part of the exibits for the car show. Went back a couple of times to chat but no one there.

johnz3

Just finished installing mine in the footwell. Superb, really looks the business. When I sort out how to post photo from the phone I will load some pics.

johnz3

Thanks and will do

What is 'scrub them in' please

johnz3

Hi, I have a good quality second hand book called BMW Z by James Taylor. If you look up an earlier post below you will see that it is advertised on Amazon. It is a post oy Robert T. I would like to sell having read it a few times and would want £20 plus postage which according to Amazon is £4.75. It...

johnz3

Thanks and understand that now you have explained. What I am not clear on is how to 'hide' the wires as they bridge the gap from the screen to the interior light.

johnz3

I am looking to fit to the interior light. I can see how to get the wire up the A pillar and along the top of the screen but not a way of getting the wire to the interior light if it is to be hidden. Have others that have connected to the interior light managed to hide the wire. Thanks

johnz3

The show was at Rochford which is just before Southend. Say 40 minutes from the Dartford Bridge.

johnz3

Went there today and nice little show. To be recommended for next year. Around 200 cars. Full range of classics and plenty of American and muscle cars. Not a rip off either to get in.

johnz3

I had a 2.8 Z3 1997. I removed mine with the help of a hair dryer and fingers and I stripped it right back. Underneath mine was the colour of the car (artic silver) and the paintwork underneath was perfect. I am sure there are a number of posts on the forum.

johnz3

Thanks Mate. Didn't spot that one.

johnz3

Any one purchased an MSport plastic gear stick cap please. Mine is getting a bit worn. I have tried ebay with no success, Only full gear sticks. I have a 3.0i Sport. Thanks

johnz3

I have a KIA Soul ariel and the reception is fine. It is a short stubby ariel and beng a bit thicker than normal stubbys looks ok.

johnz3

Dealer or private?

johnz3

Hi and welcome. Look forward to seeing the results.

johnz3

Will do. Good idea.

johnz3

Just answered my own question.

Need to copy and paste.

Thanks Gazza and you are spot on re there being a number of different Estoril Blues. I thought that it was 335. Googled it and that is what it said. I have just rang two BMW dealership for a check on the code (they need your car reg) and both have said 490 which was a BMW individual paint. When I as...

johnz3

Hi, I have tried Halfords with no luck and BMW want to sell me a small can with a can of lacquer that I don't want (already got a can) for nearly £30.

Tried google but again no joy,

Anyone know where you can get paint from.

Thanks

John

johnz3

Thanks BladeRunner, Trying to see if that allows the actual handle to be removed. Any ideas please.

johnz3

I do remember seeing a guide on how, but cannot find. Can you explain how please. Thanks

johnz3

I had thought of that, but looking through how to remove them thought that it would be too much of a job for me. Will have another look.

Different subject but great result. Actually managed to 'twist' the passenger wing mirror to expose the allen bolts. Well chuffed....................

johnz3

Thanks Guys. Let you know if it works

johnz3

Thanks. All done

johnz3

Ok will check, Thanks.

johnz3

I have a 3.0i sport. The centre area of the steering wheel is not firm and 'moves in' before the horn engages. Can other 3.0 owners let me know if their Z is the same please. I would expect that the centre area would be pretty firm. Thanks

johnz3

Looking to buy a set of the above. Don't want to pay £30 plus for chrome quality ones as will be spraying them the colour of the car. Cheap plastic will do but the ones I have seen are for the Coupe which have the key holes both sides. The Roadster only has a key hole on the drivers side. Anyone got...

Have just had a password reset email and have logged in. Fine. Gone to FAQs and user control panel to try to change password but cannot see how to. Any ideas please. Thanks

johnz3

The black surround is easily removed using a hair dryer to ease the backing. Done myself a few years ago when I had a 2.8. There is a post somewhere on here that outlines the process.

johnz3

Thanks for all the advice. Tried a few suggestions and in the end used trolley jack, took wheel off which was difficult given space in garage and then tapped the drum brake cover a few times. Heard something and wheel was free. Took her for a ride and applied the hand break as advised. Will keep the...

johnz3

Hi Brian. Tried that thanks (and pumping the foot brake). The car starts to 'rise up' slightly so I stop at that point. Re Southernboy's post I am not sure if I can get a trolly jack underneath. Not even sure if I can get a side jack in due to the space between the car and the garage. Going to destr...

johnz3

Thanks I will try thst first. Any ideas where I could use the trolley jack so as to lift from the middle
