Not too sure.
Shall we ask the other members for suggestions?

Hi guys I have just bought another M3 engine.

This time I am putting the engine into the Blue Z1.

Will keep up dating the photos.

I might start this off as a business

senna

Hi although I have never replaced the windscreen on a Z1, I have taken off the painted left and right wind screen surrounds (and door mirrors). I think you should do this as it will make the screen easier to remove. The main garages often use autoglass etc etc to come and change their screens as it ...

Don't suppose you'd let me test drive it, would ya ? :mrgreen: Might get the conversion myself considering the ribbing my boss gives me about the Zed being incapable of pulling the skin off a rice pudding at full bore acceleration. Let me sort the handling out first, no problem after that :shock: I...

senna

So Senna, how much did this conversion cost you all in ? It sounds like a very exciting prospect. I don't think it'd be hard to find a donor M3 engine but I suppose the labour charges would be quite high. I did all the work my self. The donor car was not expensive after I sold all the bits. Put it ...

Wonder if the v8 out of a z8 would fit in a z1.................... It was hard enough getting the straight 6 M3 engine in as the engine bay is quite narrow. Servo is in a stupid position, as is the ECU box on the Z1. Good luck if to the brave person that manages a V8 Z1, my hair went white with thi...

senna

Senna are u a girl or is the lady side of u gettin bitchy ? Lets meet up then, as you think you can take on a Ferrari 360, and my friend will bring his Aston. Then we will see who is a girl, with school boy exaggerations. :dunce: My Z1M could do with a christening too. Bring it on! Off on Hols in 2...

senna

Hi Lee, I don't think I could beat that beautiful monster :D The Z3M should be easy though....a certainty, unless the wind resistance is so low owing to the autoglym used. One of the speed cameras has been removed from the A217, as it met its demise to the exothermic reaction of Octane. There were r...

senna

Sounds good, but I want to race for slips (V5's) if you think the Z3M is faster than my car

senna

Hi Oracle, if wou want a standing start against a 360 spider. then let me know, and any body else that wants a race on the A217 'Mad Mile' Banstead. Junction 8 off the M25. All of course below the national speed limit. We could have a Z meeting there, and see just how fast everybody's cars are. I wo...

senna

Hi the engine was actually very cheap, once I sold the rest of the car for parts, minus the other bits i need

senna

Difficult but worth it!

senna

Some photos of the M3 engine going into the Z1. This car will be FAST!!!!
I have lots but they are too big for this website. Can any body help me create my own

senna

The two center kidney gills are held in with glue/mastic, and if you push the grill at the bottom it will push back and come off. The two lateral grills are held in with clips. They come off if you remove the undertray so that you can get to them from behind.

senna

Horke who is a member on this web site has loads of Z1 wheels.
Send him a message. Or you could look on ebay.de "felgen" or www.z1z1.de There is a page there where owners sell there bits.

senna

Take off the gaitor, take out the ash trays, under them are screws. The hand brake is held on by the two cables, with lock nuts.
Undo these and the handle should be free. Dont forget to release the hand brake light wire.
I just took a wooden one off my M3. and sold it yesterady on ebay.

senna

I would like to post my photos of the engines coming out and the S50 lump going into the Z1, but the web site will not allow me to saying that they are too big, so I gave up

.
I took them using my Nokia.

senna

you should have no difficuty converting the engine in a Z3. I would advise that you buy the engine with the wiring loom/ECU and the exhaust.

I am converting my Z1 with an M3 engine and so far things are going ok.

Let me know how your conversion goes

senna

Just started the M3 conversion for the Z1, using a 3.0l lump from a complete car. Photos will be posted (not the first thing on my mind). Does any body have a wiring diagram for the Z1 and the E36 M3.
Cheers.
please e-mail me with the answers I am confused

senna

Any chance I could have a copy I have started my M3 engine conversion and i need ALL the HELP I can get please.

There are now Three on E-bay, from £12000 to 18000. Each car should be valued on its own merit, and how fast the owner wants to sell it. If the Green one fetched £19000, and there are only about 200 blue Z1's and the car has full service history, is well looked after and the interior is good. then m...

senna

Only last week a Green Z1 (common colour) sold on e-bay for £19000. I suppose a Z1 will fetch what a buyer wants to pay for it.

Look 2 green wings.

Can I ask..... if the key is in, and the start button is piggy backed onto the barrel, does that mean that with the engine running, if I accedently touched the button the starter would engage onto a turning ring gear?
As I would love to do this but I am scared if a child (adult) touched the button.

The window switches are common to the rear door switches in a Five series. Aprox: F reg to P reg.

sfh3l EXCELLENT NAME, he deserves to do well. I can't wait to put an M50 engine in mine. But I am looking for a 528i or 328i crashed and complete to do the swap, as I want to hear it running and "hold" the loom my self. I think it will be easier that way. My friend wants to put a 3.0l M3 e...

This is what happens when you use a Z1 every day!!

senna

Here is a photo of the one you saw, with my new blue one beside it

Hi Jet, yes I have a long history with Z1's I bought my first one in (1997) from Berlin when it was 3.3Dm to the pound, it was a good use of my student loan. It is a green one with a green hardtop and a motorsport sticker on the back. Next was my red one from Weisbarden ALO4040 that was stolen from ...

senna

Yes you saw the Green one with the Hard top in Sutton, which is nearly always in B+Q Sutton, as my friend is building an extension.

Mycurrent Z1 is a Blue one.

senna

We are trying to get them to produce clear (orange) lenses not LEDs. I know the Z1 scene here is a bit backwards. Mine is lowered and looking for a good M50 2.8 Lump to transplant into it. In Germany the norm is to have a strut brace, lowered on Konis, twin rear box, E30 M3 bushes and LSD (+/- a 2.7...

senna

Hi I wanted to talk about the rear lights on the Z1. Would any body be interested in lights that were red but had clear indicators and reverse lights. Rather like the E36 M3. I have heard that Hella are prepared to make these but need a minimum of 100 orders. I am in for 2 pairs. Can we get more nam...

senna

The Gearbox is different because it has a Torque Tube running off it and not a Prop (unlike E30's) The Diff IS the Same as an E30, and hence it can be replaced for an M-Tec LSD. I have removed the Torque tube before, and it is not easy, it is also not in production. The Gear box made by Getrang is a...

senna

Hi This one is green with a green hardtop. It lives in Surrey and is used daily. It is my old car before I bought my blue one.
I bought in in Berlin as it was better than any one in England. The German Z1's tend to be better than the U.K Z1's as they are used less.

My Friend Grad changed my belts, £200 per side.

The gear box and transaxle are SPECIFIC to the Z1, and the transaxle can not be bought any more. The engine is not the usual M20 lump, but from a 325 ix (check the dip stick position). Otherwise the decision is yours to drive the car every day. Just be aware that not all the parts are available any ...

senna

Hi This is really easy to fix. At the base of the plastic back are two mounting nuts (10 mm i think) These are broken on yours. If you drill a small 5 mm hole about one inch from the bottom of the plastic back and pass a tie strap through it around the metal bar you can tie the back tightly on the b...

senna

This is one of the best Z1's I have seen and I have seen over 80 in one go!

senna

This hardtop is too too expensive.
