Yeah, sorry for that

... I guess it could be done, but to what end..when most Z3's will never see that speed.? Most z3 will never see 240km/h too, but it still is on the dial :) I know that hamann made dials with 280km/h for 2.8 - https://products.vividracing.com/hamann_instrument_dials_yellow_bmw_z3_99_02_1013838943.p...

Southernboy, do you plan to extend measures to some 260-280 km/h? I think there is some place for that on dial...

deni2s

Southernboy has good points, only he takes it for granted that you will want to modify your car as most members of this forum. There is some "standard" mods and retrofittings route for each z3 fanatic: - clear indicators - roll hoops - z3m side windows - armrest - poly bushes everywhere - ...

deni2s

Modding z4? Are there any aftermarket parts for it apart from LeatherZ armrest? Just curious, I know someone who sold highly moded z3, got a z4, and after few months sold it, because it was too boring for him.

deni2s

I have 1997 single vanos 2.8 and on average it is never less than 23.5 mpg (or 10l/100km). It's 50% city traffic, 50% outside city, no matter how hard I drive. I tend to think that is not bad for 2.8 displacement.

November 2001 Price List

Make sure that earlier years cars might not have some options which were standard in 2001 (like rollover bars or clear indicators)

deni2s

Some options were available (correct me if I am wrong):
Chrome line interior,
Electric hood,
Cruise control,
Onboard computer,
Air con,
Heated side windows,
Headlight washers,
Heated windshield washers,
CD changer (business radio)

Can't remember anything else.

Ultimately one's personal driving style / preference will impact on the responses from the car, so bear in mind that cornering slightly slower will greatly extend tyre life - especially to the fronts, and accelerating from standstill a little less aggressively will extend the life of rear tyres sig...

This car was also some inspiration for me too. Please let me know if you will decide to sell any parts, I am quite sure you have some treasure chest with them

130 GBP posted to Riga, Latvia?

deni2s

Thanks, but they are LHD mirrors, and it looks like they are already sold.

deni2s

Thanks for tips! No I haven't removed springs from bases yet. I recently installed ACS mirrors, so I also have a set of standard RHD mirrors with bases (in the same disassembled state as z3m mirrors). I need to source star-lock washers then - where can I find them? I think I will clean and prepare e...

deni2s

Yep, I could do that. Only that I disassembled them, but I didn't understand how they should swivel and what needs to be cleaned here.

deni2s

For sale one pair of LHD Z3M mirrors in used condition. Bases are corroded, mirrors don't fold, I think they are painted titanium silver (if I remember the colour name right, but they look gray), but I think they need new paint anyway. Now mirrors are dismantled, but all parts and internals are pres...

I will hopefully install them this weekend.

IMHO don't use LEDs as tail lights. 1) The light will be quite directional, so only small spot on the lights will be bright - doesn't look good, I spent a lot of money on LEDs in tail lights, and now I am not using them because of that. 2) LED's have tendency to be very bad performers if there is so...

Thanks for the link! The most interesting dials designs are here. I like the numbers in italic on dials (like on image) - it gives some more decent and "speedy" look and definitely adds a few horsepowers to the car.

I would suggest the ones with the extra coating so that the bits not in contact with the pads resist corrosion and continue to look nice through the alloy wheel. This was important point for me too, I believe Zimmermanns are not coated, but I heard, that you can just cover the discs with clear coat...

deni2s

I am looking forward for Zimmermann x-drilled fronts 325x25 and bigger calipers from 330i. Looks like quality discs for reasonable money. Brembos IMHO are overpriced. So I think you can also consider Zimmermann - they are available on ebay.de site.

New "city" floor mats, installed braided brake lines and powerflex bushes on the rear, changed gearbox oil.

deni2s

Just received the car from bmw dealership service and they changed the gearbox oil with Castrol ATF-Dextron III

Yesterday I asked at local dealership and they also quoted about 150 GBP for one sill. Quite expensive.

Just checked the manual. Can you please describe this things: 1) Sound quality 2) Ease of use 3) iPhone connection (not bluetooth but with wire to bypass iPhone DSP) and how easy it is to operate the songs (shuffle, etc.). Does it charge the iPhone when connected? 4) I have normal audio connectors (...

Does it have 3 line outputs (subwoofer, fronts and rears)?

Check for Storm Motorwerks, Whalen Shift Mashine or iluminated ZHP if you want the best ones.

Thanks! Are you living here on this forum? Somehow I knew that you could answer first

What are the current prices on used (needs repaint, bases corroded, everything else should be fine) z3m side mirrors? Local breakers yard have a pair for sale, I want to know the prices as sometimes they are trying luck and guessing prices out of space.

deni2s

Replaced few bulbs on third brake light, and now all bulbs are working

Still looking for side gills.

deni2s

I would like to buy pre-facelift 3rd brake light (internals are corroded, so I want to replace that) and also z3m side grills in very good condition (M logo can be already filled - I will fill it anyway). Please let me know if you have some offers.

Who knows, if he has quad pipes and many other blings, maybe he swapped M engine inside too. But I doubt it, as the mirrors are not changed.

I am not very exited about other wheels too. IMHO 5 spoke wheels looks best with Z3. BBS are quite popular around on BMW, but it's hard to wash them (check this car http://www.drive2.ru/r/bmw/288230376152022676/ ).
