Dare I ask... but wasn't the 4.0 V8 Nikasil?

Mad Max

Guh...!

Good porn is so hard to find these days, thanks for sharing!

Mad Max

Ok, well I noticed a while ago that my drivers side rear light seal was... well, hidden under the light! Lol! So I set about changing it last Saturday at a mate's house. Drivers side: http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p177/maximilianwettern/Z3%203l/IMG00265-20100830-1138.jpg Passengers side (that l...

Mad Max

Am I the only one? :nerd: :drive I wish you were the only one. You've got to be a proper idiot to think that's a good idea in anything other than foggy conditions, I mean - why else would they call them FOG lights? Dear god, let this be a wind up... if you want to "mitigate" the chances o...

Mad Max

Sandles? In an M car?

Whatever next...?!?

Mad Max

It's gotta be either the nose or the noise. My 3.0 pops and burbles on the over run and howls on it's way up the revs. I love it! Then there's the nose, it looks amazing! Long bonnet, nice lines.

Mad Max

Sorry Tim, they're awful.

Mad Max

Yup. HG's gone for sure. I jest ;) Every BMW I've had has done this in cold weather, and it has got a little chilly of late. Once they're properly warmed up it clears up. No need to panic unless it's using of water and making white smoke all the time. I and many others have had mayo form under the f...

Mad Max

I was gonna say it seems to share it's front end with the "Eagle Thrust Hammerhead" thing TG made

Mad Max

Sorry Mike, are you saying not to bother changing the RTABs? If so I don't understand, yes you will need a press/garage to change them but these will make the biggest difference to the handling.

Mad Max

Who has lost some wheels then..? I'm confused.

Mad Max

At the same time, if the bushes have recently been replaced you won't notice much difference changing to poly bushes.

I'm going through my M3 with poly bushes, but if the bush is OK, then I'm not wasting money on replacing it.

Mad Max

If the bushes need replacing, do them first. If not I'd do the brace.

Mad Max

I suspected my doubts would be true

I believe the clear lens for the pre-facelift was around £96 when I asked.

Mad Max

That's not a replacement one, that's just the facelift clear rear light. What year is your car? I don't know of any replacement third brake light for them I'm afraid, but I'm thinking you may have a pre-facelift or something if that looks extremely different to yours. In case it is, pre facelift: ht...

Mad Max

My partner is a solicitor, but as someone else has said, best say what this is relating to, there are many different types.

Mad Max

That's just disgusting behaviour! Should of taken his license plate and reported him, I'm sure there must be a law somewhere about spitting at people!! For want of a better phrase sh*t like this just makes my p*ss boil :evil: Reminds me of when a stupid chav bint put the door of her mate's Golf into...

Mad Max

Well I've been re-aquainting with the M3 before next month... As I had to dig her out it was time for a little group whoring: With the Missus's Mini: http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p177/maximilianwettern/Summer%2010/IMG00260-20100822-1321.jpg My pair: http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p177/maxi...

Mad Max

Hasn't this one been done before on here?

Mad Max

Well... either way good luck in that very specific search or it may be worth making one or two comprimises on that list as you're asking a lot there.

Mad Max

Hate to say it, but this is the first mod I've liked! looks great

Mad Max

"Fun" car? Eh? Mine's a lovely daily driver, rain or shine!

If you get a 3.0 (going by mine) you won't need an exhaust - it pops and burbles more than my M3's!!

Welcome and good luck with the search

Mad Max

Lol, you're funny. I'd only be able to stick around 'til lunchtime anyways, so no long walks for me.

Mad Max

Well my Zed is filthy and so is my M... contemplating dragging the M out for the drive tomorrow... see how I feel when I wake up

Mad Max

http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p177/maximilianwettern/IMG00259-20100818-2155.jpg That's the bit. Not really much use for that crater in the drive, but still! ;) I'm sure your local BMW parts person will happily find it for you. There's no PN on it. I've had a look on realOEM but can't find the ...

Mad Max

I've got iridiums in my M3 (S50B30 - e36 M3 3.0). They work... so do the NGKs. To be honest I think a good spark plug is a good spark plug. I haven't noticed any differences.

Mad Max

Are those the only problems? Does the price reflect this?

Mad Max

That's not the service light... that's the self destruct!!!!

Fancy option that one, not many have it (these days!).

If you know anyone with the Carsoft program they can reset it for you. If you're anywhere near Cheshire feel free to use mine

Mad Max

I've always used Enda, he really knows his sh*t - he's done both my M3 and Z3:

Mad Max

That is a lovelly knob you've got there Tim, no doubt about that!!

The cost though... damn!

Mad Max

Looking at the surrounding paint that's an awful repair job!

Good luck with the repair... can't help with bodyshops around there.

Mad Max

Sorry Tim... I really wanted to like it, but I'm with the Cube

Mad Max

Errr... it's the rounded one:

Thatta one!

Mad Max

I don't dispute that Tori, I do however dispute the idea that the excess weight gives any kind of advantage over the Clubsport knob.

Plus it's cold in the winter

I've got both, if someone wants to spend the £35 on another clubsport and post it to me I'll happily post you my Storm!

Mad Max

I've got a Storm knob on my M3... they look OK if you like the style but don't expect any "wow, that's a massive difference!" moments with it... it's just a knob.

Personally my knob of choice is the e46 330i Clubsport knob, weighted, OEM, brill

Mad Max

Ah mate I have a real thing for yellow cars. I'd of had a Dakar M3 if I'd of found one, same with the Zed!

You've just gotta look at a yellow car... you can't help it! It's one of my very favorite BMW colours.

Mad Max

if you look at the pics on this post of a 3.0 sport there is one side view in which the back wheel does look to be leaning in slightly http://www.zroadster.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25950&highlight=sport Yup, that's my 3.0 Sport and it's had a 4WA check out on a Hunter machine. That rear camber...

Mad Max

Lol, glad I could contribute

Mad Max

very nice looking car there Watkins, you should be proud. Arguably one of the best colours BMW ever came up with, it really suits the Zed and you're work has only improved it.

Keep it up!

Mad Max

Yes you should! :lol: Well the 2.8 is a better starting place. If it's the early one (M52B28) then you'll want the M50B25 intake manifold for it, the later one (M52B28TU) you want the M54B30 manifold. That'll see some more power. I still stand by the remap too. If it's the early one then Alpina527 o...

Mad Max

Well with the M44B19 to start with you've got a good little engine. I've had both my M3 and Z3 remapped by Enda ( www.EndTuning.com ) and can't recommend him highly enough. I did enquire when I had my 1.9 Z3 but I never got around to it. Another thing I'd suggest is a big bore throttle body from Alp...

Mad Max

Well, if you wanted to you could get two kits, one for the dipped beam, one for the main beam and if so inclined one for the fogs... but I've only done my dipped beam lights.

Mad Max

Hehe... what do you want to achieve with the mods? Better handling, more power, style?

Mad Max

Well I've just been out and tested this, no problems with the radio

Mad Max

It was from them.

Mad Max

Cheers :) You're not the first person to say that to me Tori, I don't think they were 6000k either :? I chose 6000k because I'd seen it on other cars and it looked like the 4300k I've got now. I can only imgagine they've got their bulbs mixed up, the excuse the company came up with is that it's the ...

Mad Max

Just been out to get some night time pics... might of blinded the old fella that lives across the road! Oooops! :lol: I'm impressed with the light they put out, I can see them being much better at night :) http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p177/maximilianwettern/Z3%203l/IMG00245-20100810-2313.jpg h...

Mad Max

Yup, they're a perfect match for the LEDs now

The seller on ebay was "canadaautoparts".

EDIT - I've actually given you the link earlier in this thread!

Mad Max

To reset the fuel values you need Carsoft or some similar diagnostic program. If you're in the area you're more than welcome to stop by and I can do it for you. As for the 36mpg... it's certainly not because I'm scared of the throttle - I do my best to get it down and keep it there! I put most of it...

Mad Max

I've got BD grooved discs and BD Fast Track pads on my M3, with some BD braided hoses too. Pretty good setup, can't complain for the money

I don't think it would compare with a bigger disc though, that'd be a much better upgrade.
