i found this guide to retrofit seat guides: https://zroadster.org/articles/bmw-z3-s ... anging.50/ author mentions also that Coupe seats are comfier than Roadster seats. Is it true?

hmmmm i thought so... i don't know i am 50-50

Inferno

i found one Tanin Red (if i am correct) interior (seats+panels) in good price and i am about to get it. problem is i am not sure about the color combo with atlanta blue and black dash/roof. i found some pics of a sample car. any thoughts? Actual seats i am getting: http://s34.carcdn.gr/5416/5416480_...

Inferno

isn't silicone a bit too strong? i need something that can be easily removed and cleaned in case i ever install a new roof top

Inferno

roof in the top left corner (red circle in the pic) has been slightly separated from the "plastic housing" or whatever, so now i have wind noise after 80kph. Do you know any good glue for roof tops to fix this, or should i visit a pro? http://i883.photobucket.com/albums/ac36/Inferno_lb/str...

Inferno

i think, without being sure, that my car doesn't have that earth connection, mybe because my battery is at front in the engine bay and not in the trunk?. i will have to double check it though...

Inferno

Can someone please post a pic of what part of the brace must be modified in order to fit an E36 strut brace to Z3?

Inferno

I usually buy new parts from BMW dealership, i will call them on Monday and i will let you know how much it costs.

Thank's i will order it.

No, that's not my car

, it's just a random pic i found on the web just to show what i mean. i have all the other parts, the only part i am missing is the radiator bottom cover because it wasn't available at the time i installed the bumper.

Inferno

My front bumper is like that in this photo: http://i883.photobucket.com/albums/ac36/Inferno_lb/BMW%20Z3/DSC5779-S_zpsv1jbkery.jpg It doesn't have any kind of plastic cover in the red circle (under radiator).

Happy to hear that.
In my E36 sits always in the middle no matter what, same story in my Z3 before the replacement that's why i thought it might be a problem.

top code i saw was 2f, and the needle a bit to the left as the pic i posted above, so if i understand correctly i don't have a faulty gauge. new thermostat is mahle-behr and opens at 95c. is this how this particular thermostat works or something else?

Inferno

thanks, i will try that later tonight!

I changed my thermostat about an hour ago because the old one had stuck open, the temp needle doesn't sit exactly in the center it is about 1-2mm to the left (colder).

i know that: prefacelift 4 cyl had the narrow axle, prefacelift 6 cyl had the wide axle, and all ///M had a narrow axle slightly wider than the 4 cyl cars, they balanced the gap with the massive rear fenders with the rear wheels having an ET8. question is which axle had the 4 cyl facelift cars becau...

i am looking for a pair of rear trailing arms, from what i understand there was 2 different types, those with part number 33321091151-2 and those with part number 33321094761-2, second part number are some mm longer-wider. looking at these links in the bottom i have a confusion, first trailing arms ...

Hi My 2.2 Z3 has an electronic accelerator, this is the second car iv'e had with one the other being a Mazda 3 Sport & i have to say that i'm not fussed on them. There is a definate lag in response from the engine all be it a split second but i do find it annoying sometimes especially when your...

Inferno

My question in the first place was if it is safe to run 245's to 8" wheels specifically, i know that it is safe to run 225 or 235 or 245 or 255 or whatever ON THE CORRECT WHEEL WIDTH, but what happens if your wheel is on the "edge" with your tire? 245 is the max tire an 8" wheel ...

Inferno

thank you ALL you have been really helpfull, i just putted on a set of michelin primacy 225/45 & 245/45 so the car is slightly taller now (which i wanted) and the tyres now are perfectly alligned with the rear fenders. Next project is to find a decent set of Z3M wheels and use the new tyres to t...

Inferno

Why will it be slower? The tyres are the same circumference. I suppose you'll have a bit more weight and inertia, but I can't imagine you'll notice the difference. Why not just use spacers to push the wheels out? I already use spacers (45mm on each hub) I need wider tyres, when you look car from be...

Inferno

Since i transformed the rear to wide ass, in my eyes the 225/45R17 rear tyres looks like bicycle tyres, so i as thinking of 245/40R17. Please tell me what do you think, pros and cons, car is 1.8, 17x8" alloys all around, 225/45R17 all around and i want to go for 225/45 in the front and 245/40 i...

Once again i was right, and the mechanic didn't listen to me 4 days ago when he refilled it with ac gas, he didn't add oil. I went again today and he refilled it this time adding oil, noise it's vanished now and i paid twice for the same job.

Inferno

I just returned from the mechanic, it was gas-empty, we refilled it and it works perfect except it does a VERY loud noise now, i can even hear it inside the cabin while i drive, like a whistle a compressor-powered car does. He thinks that the compressor slowly dies...

Inferno

Yeap, It's working!

Inferno

But i do! I use it twice a month all year long exactly for what you say.

Inferno

I did another check last night, this time i didn't hear that loud grinding noise, the compressor clutch works fine, the belt seems to work fine, it just doesn't blow cool air, maybe it has (again) a circuit leak somewhere.. it's just frustrating, EVERY year, at summer my a/c has somekind of problem.

Inferno

check this video http://youtu.be/fFEraAiDTWw tha is the sound i hear, BUT the belt is not stuck. is it possible that a damaged pulley can have as a result a/c not blowing cool air?

i will check everything you mentioned and i will come back
by a/c fluid i meant gas :p

Inferno

until yesterday a/c was working perfectly except that i was hearing a slight strange noise from the engine area when i had it on for the last week. Today it was not working at all. by that i mean that when i press the a/c button, i can hear the compressor turn on, rpms get slight up but it doesn't b...

not having a dig or anything but if you want black, why not just fit original black hoops? just seems a shame to paint them black when you sell them to someone who wants chrome ones and fit originals.

i was always thinking doing this, but i could never find another car already done it, so i didn't had a reference. now i did so here is some pics what do you think? leave them chrome or paint them satin black? i really don't know, i like both the same! http://i883.photobucket.com/albums/ac36/Inferno...
