bmw z3

Just went to go out in the Z after not using for about 3 weeks and battery totally flat. This also happened a few weeks ago but thought that it was due to lack of use and testing/checkin/unlocking and locking doors but no. Casually speaking to a Z owner from Porlock in a Minehead carpark weeks...

On my Sept. 98 1.9 the little red light by heated seats switches flashes once when ignition is switched on/off but light does not flash on/off all the time when car is locked, and hazard lights do not flash When ignition key is taken out you get a selection of bleeps and sounds, and my key just...

What do you people on the forum think is a good price to pay for a Z3 hard top complete with fixing kit, cover & stand ? or complete with fixing kit and ceiling/roof hanger hoist ? or just the fixing kit ? Look forward to reading your thoughts

Oh well, guess it was due. Not sure if you all remember but when we needed to remove the exhaust for the sub frame refresh the flanges on the exhaust coupling between the cats and the rear section were in bad condition. Picture to enlighten those who don't :( We finished the sub frame...

Hi all. I have a 1.9 z3 1997. What coilovers have you guys fitted and what work best. I like to go low. As in the rim of the wheel just about in the arch. I know that handling won't be the best but I like the low and slow approach to life. Cheers darcy

Hi All, Does anyone know where I can get a tonneau cover for my roadster. I don't mean one that just covers the retracted roof (got one). I mean one that covers the retracted roof, seats, wheel, dash and possibly the screen also - so that I can keep the roof down in those rare times when the...
