Good to hear it Boosh,

Did you take any photos along your way to add to the thread?

David

Does your mirror consist of a front and rear sensor? Make sure the front sensor is still connected to the main PCB, and if that has an additional earthing (brown) wire, make sure that is still connected. Without pictures I'm not much help I'm afraid, as I didn't use the same mirror as you. Hope some...

David

Hi Boosh, Southernboy is correct. I obtained a rear view mirror from a convertible Mini, which has the same windscreen mounting mechanism as the BMW. Apologies; I don't have many pictures as I took them for my own reference to remember which wires went where! I decided to go with a convertible mini ...

You're not wrong Dave, a great day was had by all! We can now officially let the cat out of the bag, after receiving permission from the powers that be.... We stopped off at Silverstone - in the Caterham car park - and to cut a long story short, we were invited onto the Grid!! 24 Zeds in total! http...

Awesome, see you then!

Hi All, Over on .org they have arranged a meet for next weekend, with apparently 25 Zed's confirmed to attend so far. Would be great to see plenty of you guys there too. Details as follows: Meet at 10.30am for a LARGE cooked breakfast at - Boycott Farm Welsh Lane Stowe Buckinghamshire MK18 5DJ Tel: ...

I actually like that it lines up with the front of the door.

I just found this amazing website called 'Google'. It has a very simplistic layout, but I just typed in to the box "BMW Z3 wire wheels" and surely enough this was the 3rd result down: http://www.daytonwirewheel.com/gallery/luxurycars/luxurycar006.php It worked well this time, but I don't t...

David

Pretty sure those are just for the "Z3 Coupe and Z3M Coupe", bit confusing as the seller has advertised them for the "Z3 & Z3M Coupe".

David

As per Gookah's link.

Sviru... I'm happy to pick you up a set from Halfords and post them out to you if like the look of them.

Greetings from Burwash! Keep eyes open for the East Sussex / Kent "outing" in April. Normally arranged by Ragtop! Wow, I was in Burwash just this morning visiting a friend; I didn't know we had any forum members from that neck of the woods. I'm originally from Heathfield... only moved awa...

Where in East Sussex are you from Wavesong?

Welcome from just over the border in West Sussex, and formerly of East Sussex (23 of my 24 years)!

Wow, ZeroIam, is that your interior?? It is stunning! Love what has been done to the heater dials too.

I've heard differently... I've been told it is just a solid foam behind the 'lump'.

Hi guys, can't believe I didn't think to see if anyone had done this yet, but a cruise has been organised for tomorrow, 14th Dec on .org, and I thought I'd extend the invitation to people on here! We are all meeting at 10.30am at Harvester Restaurant, Bicester Rd, Aylesbury, HP19 8BU Come along if y...

David

In preparation for a cruise tomorrow in Aylesbury (arranged on .org, PM me if you want to join in!), I figured I'd spend the afternoon giving Scarlett the most thorough exterior clean I have ever given to any car I've owned; usually I am just a petrol station wash and wax kind of guy... So, with my ...

Easiest way to get a phone unlocked is to contact the network provider that the phone is locked to. If you've had the phone for a decent amount of time, they will often unlock the phone for you, free of charge.

Looks really good - I do wonder whether clear prespex would be better, though, as it would serve to highlight the roll hoops (your main intention) whereas smoked perspex could all blend into the hoops. That's a very good point Blade, it is something I considered, but decided to go with smoked persp...

The moment you have all (/some have) been waiting waiting for....

NO, NEVER!

David

STILL have these. I'm surprised honestly. Someone make me an offer!

David

I will do once I make them a more permanent connection for them.

Or perhaps Ian might be a better candidate if he is going down the OEM connections route?

I'm happy either way.

David

A cream and red interior??

...Sounds disgusting.

David

Are we right in suggesting to pair them off: 1x red and 1x yellow/red > white/red (white/yellow on pass side) 1x red and 1x yellow/red > brown ? We have a winner!!!

Which relay might this be?
Another member recently told me that "after looking at the ETM the circuit is just powered off fuse 4 and does not use a relay."

Thanks,
David

David

From memory when I did mine... Hello mate, Can you please confirm for both of us how the red/yellow, and red wires should be wired up correctly? Are we right in suggesting to pair them off: 1x red and 1x yellow/red > white/red (white/yellow on pass side) 1x red and 1x yellow/red > brown ? TIA David

Just found the following on realOEM.com Labelled No.5 in the picture, might be what you need? No use to me now, as I've already chopped the connectors off. http://realoem.com/bmw/diagrams/x/h/131.png http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=CM12&mospid=48078&btnr=61_1214&hg=61&fg=10

You are correct, my seats are pre-facelift seats, and my car is a facelift Z3 (1.9 M43). I'm not entirely sure what purpose the 3rd cable serves on the seats. I haven't had to worry about these though, as it routes down to the seat motors and adjustment switches, and is all connected up via the OEM ...

David

I'm in the exact same predicament as you Ian, so I will be keeping an eye on this thread. The white/red wire (driver's side) (white/yellow - passenger side) leading from the car supplies the power, whilst the brown is an earthed connection. However I have connecting both red wires to the earth, and ...

Thanks Brian, case closed!

David

Damn. Shame I didn't see this!
...would've loved to have seen Spurs get beat at home!

David

Thanks for the response guys,

Its under the front of the centre console, where all the wiring for the heated seats, clock, cig lighter, AC are located. I've ruled out all of these options stated.

I dont' have the OBC clock, could it possibly be for this?

David

Hi All,

Whilst refitting my centre console, I have found this connector and I am unable to figure out what it's for. Can someone please enlighten me?

Thanks in advance,
David

David

Thanks All

David

I hope you keep your spare set as supple as the rest of your interior Mr Lanolin.

David

I think they do blend better with your chrome angel eyes, and the 'top heavy' chrome isn't the issue for me... It's the curved vertical lines of the grilles that I think sit awkwardly IMO.

David

Now £65, offers considered.

Console now sold, Hockey Sticks and Clock still available! Offers considered.
