z3

Hi all, since I had my coilovers fitted about 5 months ago I've had a clunk type noise coming from the boot area. I've checked countless times underneath the car and can't seem to find anything wrong. All spot welds are perfect too. I'd say about 6/10 times it does it either when I move from a...

In a recent thread the subject of the comfort factor of std Z3 seats was discussed. Now I am about to embark on a journey to change a less than pristine 2.2 non-sport into a Cobra looky-likey so am not concerned with keeping stuff OEM . That means I can play a bit and feedback to anyone...

I was wondering if anyone knows whether or not these wheels would fit my 2001 BMW Z3 2.5i Roadster: Front; 17x8 ET40 Rear; 17x9.5 ET15 Center Hub Size; 72.56mm (says they come with hub-centric rings) They are SSR Type-C I'm lowered on BC coilovers and would not mind having to run...

Hi guys Z3 owner here looking for fellow zeddy owners down in Essex, anyone know of any convoys? (Laid back ones) I’ve always wanted to do a run from hylands house Chelmsford up to holkham beach in Norfolk, nice set of roads along the way, perhaps when we’ve got some good solid weather back we...

Hi, I have a few questions regarding my z3. I bought it about seven or eight months ago. Prior to owning it, it had been used as a summer car, and only had 60k on the clock (W plate, 1.9). I get the feeling that it's not been looked after, or not driven very much, as I have had to replace the...

Hi everyone, I bought a Z3 last weekend and it came with the sought after tonneau cover which I will never use, so I’m offering it for sale. It looks as though it’s never been used to be honest. Comes int he original BMW plastic bag, not sealed though unfortunately. Looking for around £150...

Hello all, Been a while since I last posted but been lurking in the shadows for a while. Having sold my Z3, and then subsequently my Z4 and being car-less for the final 6 months of university I am finally in a position to start thinking about getting a car that I actually want! I currently...

hello........ Looking for some sound advice regarding my '98 Z3 M44. It's been driving fine for the two short months I've had her. Very occasional hesitation on acceleration, almost like a 'flat spot' then drives fine. Sometimes stalls as well. It's been so infrequent it's annoying. Initially...

I have a 2.8L 98 Z3 and I really feel i'm not getting the acceleration and power from the engine that I deserve. Was wondering is there anything I can do to bring it back to the original Acceleration specs or add power etc? Possibly changing a sensor of some description? Any advice greatly...

Hi, just got myself a summer toy - a Z3 1.9 in Arctic Silver. Have already done a few things to her and plan quite a few more, so sure I'll be regularly updating bits on here. Might try to come along to ZedFest in Leicester in August. Pics in the thread below.

So my buddy has some 17x8" rims with the 5x114 pattern. I'm trying to figure out if I can fit these using the wheel adapters. So my current wheels are ET40, so 40 offset as I understand it. The rims my buddy has are 48 offset, and I'm trying figure out what 15mm spacers(adapter thickness) and...

Selling a pair of sill scuff plates. Reasonably good condition with not too much corrosion. Just need a clean up. The metal strip on one still has lifted slightly so could do with being glued down again. £40 plus whatever it costs to post.

Rear bumper for sale with metal mount/guard fitted. Needs a respray but in one piece without any damage £40

Strange one this... The 16 pin round diag port on my 00 plate 2.0 doesn't communicate, obd 20 pin works fine. If it plug in a connector into the 16pin one it shorts out a 10amp fuse #26 for the reverse light (but doesn't affect the light, weird I know). Once that happens the 20pin obd doesn't...

I realise I'm late to the party with my day-old z3, but where does one get the rear diff reinforcement done these days, as near as berkshire as possible? Cursory inspection of boot seems to show some popped spot welds, and I also have an occasional 'clonk' when releasing the power quickly... I...

Hi all, I've completed most of the major jobs and modifications on my car now and I was thinking about a remap to take advantage of it all. I was however booked in for a remap an hours drive away from me the other week only to find out when I got there, they didn't have the right kit to do it...
