I have a 2002 Z3 Roadster originally imported into Japan and the exported to New Zealand when I purchased it. There is a lot on forums on different sites about programming keys. I have found the keys that come with my vehicle never need programming after a battery change or changing the...

Hey guys Im in a bit of a hard spot right now. So I’m picking up another 97’ Z3 this weekend and I’m going to turn it into a drift car. So I’m taking out all the interior and trunk etc. but the problem lies beneath the bonnet (hood) the car has a problem with holding anti freeze and I’m pretty...

Hi I'm looking for a working CD changer that powers up, loads and plays discs. Happy to pay a realistic amount for a working model. Thanks Swiss

Hi all! Just picked up my first Z3 as my new project and i'm sad to say that the sills and Front and rear wings are rotten through..... I'm in 2 minds on what to do with the car - Break for parts or fix and keep it on the road?? It's a 1998 1.9 in Silver with the lovely red leather interior...

Hi, Thank you all for allowing me into your community. I have to be open to you all and say I am desperately looking for some advice! I don't currently own a 'Z' series car however am constantly searching for the right one (Z3). My plan is to use the car as a weekend car and take it to some...

I’m just looking for a little bit of advice. I have a nongenuine hardtop fixing kit for sale. It came with a hardtop from one of the sites very well-known members. It’s actually posted on here and also on eBay. I’ve just had the following conversation with a gentleman from the US via eBay. As...

Slightly long story, but I have just found myself with a non genuine fixing kit surplus to requirements. Comes with full instructions & the all important demister switch. It's complete & until last weekend was on my own car. Can't seem to be able to persuade this section to upload pics, but will...

Apologies if this one has been asked before, but I can't find it. I recently embarked upon replacing my Z3's corroded mirror pedestals with plastic ones. Plenty of videos, posts etc showing how to do it, except I came across a problem with the mirror casing. All the guides say to undo the...

Thought i'd say hi y'all, In may this year after 2 years of owning a very tidy e46 320ci and 8 years of tin topped cars i decided i wanted a mini cooper s with the idea of something smaller and cheaper to run... Went to look at a cooper s although was a blinder of a day. The phone came out...

(Sorry for this short essay) My name is Craig and I am new to the bmw world having bought a 2001 Z3 2.5i recently. I am a long time enthusiast, though in the past I usually paid for most work to be done. I bought this very cheap ($2.5k),high mileage (170k) roadster with the intent on doing all...

When I bought my Z3 the subwoofer was blown. I bypassed it with the new Sony head unit I put in, and was just using speakers behind the seat and tweeters installed in the foot well locations. I finally broke down and put in an 8" Kicker sub, and an enclosure I found online. But I really wish I...

It's a 1.9 in Arctic Silver. It's done around 123,000 miles. Body work is reasonable for it's age. I had the sills repaired and re-sprayed a couple of years ago but they are showing slight signs of rust, as are the arches. All front drop links etc were replaced about 12 months ago. It's had a...

Hi everyone As requested by @Tim beard I'll be uploading progress notes in regards to spraying the new wing mirror bases. I’ve taken photos so far of where I have got to with spraying the bases of the X8R wing mirrors I’ve bought to combat the corrosion battle. My car is Boston Green so...

Hi Everyone Has anybody had experience with the Halford's BMW paint? My Zed is Boston Green and I don't want to spray the bases of the new X8R mirrors if it isn't going to match up. We have a family friend who does great paint work but he's away and I'm reluctant to wait as my wing mirror is...

Hi all I've been looking at getting a bigger size alloy on my beautiful little zed but I didn't want to deviate from the original alloys. The original alloys are the traditional 16" star shaped (attached photo). The gills (as I like to call them) are chrome and I am going to get chrome door...

Hey all, I've picked up a 97 z3 its the 1.9L 5 spd man, Its going to be a daily but id love to take it to our local track, I'm not wanting it to be super fast because i know its not, just wanting to attack some corners and have a bit of fun. After some light research i see lots about the car...

Happy New Year folks from newbie me! A question re the above on behalf of my partner. She has a 1996 Z3 with the common problem of alu mirror fittings corroding and dropping off. She wants to keep driving it and eventually sell it as a classic. Should she replace with same mirror type (even...
