This sounds ideal, PM sent.

Bit of a thread resurrection I know. I'm at the stage of testing stuff during my rebuild and stupidly unwired the old Guages before marking or taking photos of them. The outside air temperature one has 4 connections, all spades. I have markings on the gauge, 1, 2 '+' and '-'. Wires are brown x 2, on...

Dad was over last week with some more parts so we managed to get loads done, mostly successful. Starting removing the old loom, trying to photograph as much as possible for correct tracing and routing. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v397/bazhugs/0361FC67-4C11-474C-845C-6426EC274E1D_zpsu2jpvs8x.jp...

Good morning folks, During my ongoing project, which I will update soon, we drained the fuel tank and found a very sticky residue at the bottom of it once removed the fuel pump. On testing the pump we've found it's seized solid so I'm asking about replacements. Is the fuel pump specific to the 3.2? ...

Got the net mate, thanks very much.

Good man.

Hi Sailorbaz, What part are you in? We're off to a wedding in Athlone Friday and then spending a few days in Donegal and we're driving back to the UK via Strabane and Omagh. Cheers. Nice one, I'm in Cookstown so not so far from Omagh. Could meet you Omagh, but are you going Dungannon then onto M1 t...

I'll take the Net please, Ty.

PM me some payment details please, Tenner include postage to Northern Ireland?

My parts for installing my windscreen should arrive this week but while I'm offshore, I'm doing a bit of reading up on how to install it. Was considering getting a guy in to do it but since my Dad will be helping me, and he had a garage and body shop for 30 years, I think it's something we can deal ...

I've found www.bmminiparts.co.uk to be excellent at sourcing me Brand new parts at very sensible money and in a very reasonable time frame. For example, I ordered a Windscreen for my Z3 last wednesday and was told today it should be with them tomorrow, and with me early next week. Less than 2 weeks ...

I'm from just outside Moneymore near Cookstown. Jesus, really? I'm Cookstown mate. Small place indeed. You won't have seen my Z3 around (unless on the back of Glenn Allens recovery truck) since it's in a sad state of repair (see another thread) I've an M3 CSL you may have seen about though, or more...

Welcome to the Forum lad, hope you find your car soon.

Whereabouts in NI are you? I'm Tyrone. There's a couple of us about, hope to see you around soon in a Z3.

Good morning Paul, When I was living in Scotland, I used to attend alot of the BMW meets in various M3's but since moving to NI, I haven't made many meets at all. One with RMS/M3cutters down at Titanic 1/4 a few years ago but that was it, and it's not the lack of meets since I believe there are a fe...

Good afternoon guys, Was looking at REALOEM earlier trying to gather part numbers to order for installing the windscreen in my Z3M come nearer the time. I was actually pleasantly surprised at the cost of the OEM windscreen, so I'll be using that rather than aftermarket. My question is, what other pa...

Pardon my ignorance but, does this part http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-E36-Z3-ROADSTER-2-2-2001-ECU-KIT-EWS-IGNITION-BARREL-AND-KEY-/251491598713?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a8e114179 sit in the engine bay, drivers side in the black box? Very frustrating not being able to just ...

Yes, the EWS is the immobiliser. If you replace it you will need to align it to the DME using INPA or DIS. This sounds promising. I have both program's, just need to work out how to use them to align the EWS to the DME. Wish I'd brought that laptop away with me now to have a play. Never mind, Cheers.

Thanks for the reply mate, I've managed to find some photos I've taken previously and can see that my ECU/DME should be intact since the plastic box looks perfect. The small EWS box, the white one - what's its function? Is this the immobiliser part? This is the only part of the circuit it would appe...

DME... ECU...EWS... Starting to drive me a bit mental, lol I'm trying to get my head round this, which is very difficult in the South Atlantic with no car to look at, other than photos. ECU - Mine is in the Engine bay right? DME - Same as ECU? If not, where is it? EWS - I have the little white modul...

Thanks for that mate, that's very good info. Not so good news for me though, not sure the guy who has the donor car will be keen on letting me have a key without taking the locks. Maybe a better idea to get the immobiliser part of the EWS removed after all. So if you need a new EWS, you need to buy ...

This is another good result.

This will have the engine details in it such a mileage, service history maybe? If I connect new clocks to this and adjust them to match the ECU, will I still get the 'tamper' dot?

Cheers,
Barry

Maybe I'm being stupid but, is the Engine ECU in the engine bay??? And not behind the glovebox as I originally thought???

I could probably get the keys but then that would mean the door locks and boot lock also... Food for thought l. I thought I could 'teach' the new EWS the existing key details... I have found a guy from N Scotland who can remove the immobiliser part for me if need be, but of course I'd rather not. BM...

Morning guys, As some may know I'm rebuilding a Z3M Roadster after an interior fire. I have to install replacement modules (behind the glovebox) and was wondering if the Main one can be recoded to my engine and my key? I've sourced replacement modules from a salvaged Z3M with the same engine. Item 1...

I wouldn't mind trying this also. My carpets are already out and are looking a bit grey on it.

Maybe black might be too dark with the black and blue leather seats???

4000 miles, apparently. Clocks melted in Fire, lol

Holy thread resurrection... Interested in coding keys and remotes DIY due to the nature of the work I'm doing outlined in another thread. Can you mail me the PDF of the DIY instructions please? I'll PM my e-mail address now, Cheers, Barry If you have alarm buttons on your key ignore this. If your ke...

Thing is with buying the new loom direct from BMW (1 of only 2 left in Germany) is it comes with all connectors, including the full Fusebox with all fuses. It should be straight forward enough feeding the cable through as I disconnect the old one. Once the Fusebox is bolted in, the engine bay connec...

Some of you may have seen a number of my posts asking questions and looking for some parts. It's all for an M Roadster my family bought in 2001 from CoPart after the insurance had paid out due to a dashboard fire. I have a few photos of when we got the car home back in 2001 but can't put my finger o...

Are the black and blue door cards still available? How much including delivery to Northern Ireland?

Is the dashboard available? What about Electrical parts? Wiring harness from fuse box through bulkhead?

Just seems this thread now.

Cheers,
Barry

Thanks again for all the replies. Have messaged that guy with the M Coupe about his harness and possibly the modules but not going to pull the trigger until I've got the car home and stripped. I'd love to buy a doner car but I have a couple of issues, one being I don't have anywhere to keep it reall...

Bloody hell, fantastic response guys, thank you very much. I look forward to getting her out and taking more photos to see where we're actually at. Regarding the fire, I believe that first owner had a 'Mickey mouse' alarm fitted, incorrectly which resulted in the fire. I'm fully prepared to strip it...

Just a few words lads and lassies to say hello and introduce myself. Managed to prise a low mileage Z3M Roadster out of my dad's hands and bring it home to NI. She's had a dashboard fire so it could be an interesting, if somewhat difficult project. Not new to BMW's in any fashion, have owned 4 previ...

Hey guys, New to the Z3/M Roadster scene but not BMW. Have had 2 E36 M3's previously and currently own an E46 M3 CSL and an E90 M3. My Dad bought an 1998 Z3M Roadster in Estoril Blue back in 2000 that had suffered a fire under the glovebox. It has since sat in storage and I'm keen to dig it out and ...
