I was told about this trick after my adventure with keys locked in the boot and tried it out the following weekend. It didn't work on the S class but never tried it on a BMW.

Jonttt

Damn already ordered mine.

Are you sure this code is still valid?

I found plenty on the web but they had all timed out and were not accepted

Jonttt

You can claim the VAT back if they are for work

Jonttt

They are brown / bronze. I paid £90 for my Black/black ones which are the most popular hence full price. However, I thought these were a real bargain and like my others so much I have ordered some, great for just leaving in the car. I looked at the SpeedCat version (the future cats are the newer rep...

I know this issue is well documented but I thought would give an update for all those with cars outside of the BMW warranty and high mileage. I picked up my Z3m a few weeks ago. I was aware of the spot weld telltale re the diff bracket problem and had inspected these before purchase and all seemed f...

Due to the often hilerious and sometimes embarrasing discussion regarding driving gloves http://www.zroadster.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19260&highlight= I thought it would be worth highlighting a great bargain for some driving shoes. If you don't need track day performance but just a great pair ...

Try these a bargain at £6

Wikipedia is amazing .za is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for South Africa. It is administered by the ZADNA. None of the official names for South Africa can be abbreviated to ZA, which is an abbreviation of the Dutch Zuid-Afrika. This is a legacy of when Dutch was an official la...

I think that you have be more than patient. I would contact BMW customer service on customer.service@bmw.co.uk. Tell them what has gone on (they will b able to check out all the work) and from my experience the principle at the dealership will make sure gets sorted fully. Its amazing what difference...

I locked my keys in the boot of my S class last summer at the local golf club. Mercedes told me this was not possible which you could imagine I was rather argumentative about having all my mates rolling around the floor laughing at me. Eventually they agreed to send over a tachnician who could get i...

I have just paid BMW for the new badges to be ordered. They wouldn't change my order unless I paid upfront

Otherwise I woul have had it. why don't you put it on the spares forum

Jonttt

off your marks :shock: oh my god that is sooooooo cool. You have really given me the bug to have a go on mine now. Out of interest how much are you talking for a "normal" thorough clean up (I don't mean trim removed etc...) to get rid of swirls and make it really shine? You can't be that f...

Jonttt

mmmm choices choices

Will phone the dealer tomorrow and see if I can get the later S54 ones then. But If they fade I will blame you garythefish

Offyourmarks whats the story with the E36 M3 then, I have a picture of it full of chickens now

Jonttt

didn't realise we had a pro in the house :D To be honest I have been doing some research into all this detailing stuff (I never realised there was so much to it and always wondored how the dealers got such a nice finish :dunce: I was intending to try a clay bar myself and the other stages. Do I real...

Jonttt

Good idea to cover them to stop fading again. Which Zaino product do you use?

I looked at the ebay boot badges but the orignal aremake to fit into he M shaped recess. I was worried that the non original ones would not look right.

Jonttt

The x3 M badges on my 2000 roadster (side gills and boot) have really faded, especially the red which looks a rather pink for my liking now :wink: Did some research on tinternet and found this to be a common problem. The yanks of course have come up with the ingenious idea of using nail varnish :dun...

I have just bought the official Z£ outdoor cover from my local dealer. Cost was about £114 + VAT. I ordered over the phone on Monday and was ready for collection on Wednesday. The fit is superb to my Z3m as I guess it should be. Its so good that I doubt it could blow off (I will probably see it go f...

My brother has just bought a 56 plate Z4m with 12k on the clock from a main dealer in Manchester for £18k. Was on the forcourt for £23k! It is absolutely mint with every extra (and I mean every) bar the TV + individual cream leather and matching trimmed mats. Even has 2 brand new tyres on the rear f...

Well the sun has been out this weekend so could not resist my first blast around the north west. Managed to convince my girlfriend that it was 10 degrees as the sun was out. Didn't help that the air temp was showing -10 lol. Dealer phoned me on Friday to say sensor had been posted so will have to ge...

Jonttt

Still sounds a bit steep for 5 minutes - works out at £360 per hour labour rate!

I know, I love silver cars, some people think its a boring colour but I think its timeless. Keep driving around now looking for other Z3m's. I see quite a few Z3 around but never seen another M. My brother has the Z4m but prefer the retro style of the older one 8-) Where abouts in Cheshire are you, ...

Jonttt

I know thats why I emailed him to confirm. He does not have the mounting kit which you need installed on your car to actually allow you to mount the roof. He does however have all the parts which come with the roof ie bolts, tools, instructions. I am no expert in these things and have never actually...

Jonttt

Found this on eBay.Looks remarkably cheap. Emailed the seller who confirmed all tools / bolts /instructions included. Was tempted as I have the mounting kit installed on mine. Decided to give it a miss as i) wrong colour (or would black and silver work - no 8-) ii) I only have the Z for pleasure use...

Jonttt

Thanks for this. At least the dealer could tell you where it was, mine couldn't. Am getting the part posted over by the garage I bought the car from. Thought it would be cheaper to fit myself than 200 mile round trip.
Is it easy to get the trim off and replace or should I leave it to my next service?

Jonttt

Thanks, that make more sense, looked everywhere under bumper and around air intakes and couldn't find it. Trust them to put it so obvious as under the wheel arch lining

I will have a look a the weekend if I'm brave enough to do this myself or wait until next service.

Jonttt

Saw this on eBay having read that it is a worthwhile upgrade so thought I would buy on to be fitted on my next service. Seems good value for money? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-Z3M-ROADSTER-STAINLESS-CLUTCH-HOSE-UPGRADE-EARLS_W0QQitemZ170293919418QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?has...

I'm getting a new sensor posted to me by dealer I bought car from but not sure where it fits on the Z3m.

Anyone know?

Jonttt

MrB welcome to the newbie club

Bit of a change from the mini eh

I had a cooper s works a few years ago (04 plate) but no comparison to the Z3m.

Get the roof down you know it makes sense

Jonttt

Obviously the increased acceleration means it needs to be more accurate - not! Good news anyway, the dealer I bought from offered to replace striaght away. I aked if they could send me the part to save me a 200 mile round trip (and wait) and they have agreed. They have just phoned to say part ordere...

Jonttt

a tyre shop should be able to fix for about £10. They will do it there and then if they aren't too busy. The only time I have had problems is if the screw is in the side wall - they don't like fixing these as weekens the tyre or with run flats especially ZR rated which they are not allowed to repair...

Jonttt

Yep you are right

Phoned the dealer today part no. is 62142491476 £99 + VAT (even he was shocked!)

So have left message with garage I bought it from, first test to see how good they really are re customer services

Jonttt

Thanks Ade, looks like the one and shouldn't be too expensive looking at the $ price.

Jonttt

Thank you

I will give BMW a ring tomorrow and ask them

Jonttt

:D well just bought my first Z3m. Have been looking around for a convertable as a 2nd car since last summer. I had the chance to use a Z3 1.9 for a weekend last summer and really liked the car but felt the 1.9 was underpowered for what I was looking for so decided to wait until this year. The long x...
