I have a similar problem with my Z1 M20B25

It’s like it is flooded with fuel and eventually starts like a long stroke engine.

Gazza

Great info, thanks

Gazza

Many of these used to change owners yearly in the early days, many have lots more than 5 owners.

I wouldn’t let higher miles put you off, we are talking about cars of 17-21 years old.

Good luck with your search

Gazza

I would change the oil yearly if you do small miles.

Mine hasn’t turned a wheel for nearly a year

The Z4MC is getting used daily

Gazza

No doubt they will be ideal for town driving.

I recently watched a tyre comparison video on YouTube, the budget tyres were ok until demands were put on them, understeer/oversteer and braking were the biggest problems.

I’ve used budget tyres on other cars in the past because they suited a purpose.

The spare key with no buttons.
Could this be used to copy for a new master key with buttons from locksmith?

Chat with bmkeys, they will let you know what is possible.

I only ever thought of selling mine once, I’ve owned this one for 14 years now

Gazza

Usually the leaks come from the top of the screen posts and/or the centre of the section over the side windows.

The roof clamps are adjustable, may just need a tweak.

Gazza

Mine turns over fine but like it isn’t getting enough fuel and put put puting into life from cold.

Gazza

Hi, One simple thing that no one has mentioned so far. What about wheel size? If those have a smaller diameter than the specificated wheels for the car, it will of course show wrong speed. Cough cough :wink: Mine is over by 8mph at 70mph, I’ve no idea why. Tyre and wheel sizes are standard.

Gazza

Expect to pay a small fortune,they rarely come up for sale and the ones I’ve seen for sale aren’t cheap.

Sport seats are similar to ‘M’ seats.

Gazza

Mine is over by 8mph at 70mph, I’ve no idea why. Thinking further, if the speedo is over reading would that mean the mileage is rising more than actual mileage ? Tyre and wheel sizes are standard. The dot could be due to the cluster being replaced, from memory the cluster checks with the ecu for a m...

Gazza

That’s a result

9 seconds? More like 7, but who staid journalism had to be based on fact?

It may be under powered by today’s standards but for me it drives effortlessly.

Gazza

Good to know and thanks for the update.

Gazza

If the car is drivable I would run around for a few miles, the ABS light may go off. Do the discs/pads need replacing ? The sensors can be a bit tricky to release so use some WD40 and soak for a while. As suggested you can get fairly cheap diagnostic equipment from eBay, you’ll need the connector ca...

Spurs fan in a coupe breaks Z3’s, send him a pm

Welcome to the forum

Gazza

Depends on the offset (et) and width of the wheels.

If you fit spacers then get longer bolts.

Gazza

Watching S6 ep4 tonight and noticed a Z3M Estoril Roadster with hardtop in the workshop.

My mate had this Z1 in for detailing

I can’t remember the buyers username, it was all on the for sale thread but it’s been deleted

The Admin wouldn’t have deleted the thread.

There is a for sale thread here https://zroadster.net/forum/viewtopic.p ... =45004#top

I bought a car with a Tracker and was informed that I could carry on with the contract. I was told the same as you, needs to be checked and at least battery replaced, cost would be near the cost of a new unit so I had a new unit fitted, like you I was told the old unit was obsolete, it was six years...

I tried the Collinite 845 yesterday, it was really thick like wallpaper paste and a similar texture, buffed up fine.

Gazza

My classic policy is with RH Classics

Gazza

Not a problem doing the oil change myself but, with the CSL it really needs FBMWSH

Gazza

I have two policies, multicar and classic. My Z1 is at present on classic/limited mileage/special restrictions at £190 with market value, which seems to be a minimum of £30k at present checking various sales sites. My M3CSL was on classic/limited mileage/special restrictions at £580 with market valu...

Gazza

BMW oil must be really special, I got a price for an oil service on the Z4M for £199. The CSL however came out at £293

Gazza

Agreed, great write up as usual.

Moved to the Z3 Knowledge base.

Gazza

Good choice, also take a look at the 359’s

Gazza

I think the M3 has better handling than the Z4MC to be honest.
The Z4MC does feel quicker at times.

Gazza

What was it about the M3 that you didn’t like ?

I recently bought a Z4M Coupe

Gazza

I’ve heard that joint is a pain.

Great result on the price

Gazza

Just ordered a bottle of 845 to compare with my current wax.

I waxed part of the car two weeks ago, when wet it beads really well, the rest of the car just stays wet
Easier to dry the waxed areas, water spots tend to appear on the unwaxed areas.

Gazza

Www.reaioem.com lists the lower arm as different for the Z3M to all other Z’s

31122228461
31122228462

Euro carparts list them, two brands, £84.99 and £128.99 each

Did you sort the problem ?

Gazza

I had the same with an iPhone 5 battery, as have lots of people. One minute the battery level was say 75% and the next it would turn off, I’d switch it back on and was on the red battery level. I searched the net and did adjustments to this and that, it helped a bit, I just use it for music in the c...

Gazza

The wheel is thick in my Z4M and when I drive the Z3M you realise how thin the rim really is, after a few minutes it’s forgotten.

I don’t mind the wheel in the Z3M re thickness and diameter.

Gazza

As suggested, yearly would be ok.

A few grades have been suggested or favoured, 0/40 being one.

I’m sure my last change was 5/30

Gazza

I don’t think a polish is abrasive enough to remove swirl marks, you’d need a compound and a machine to do that effectively.

Maybe just clay bar then polish then wax.

I’ve used a Meguires 3 stage cleaner/polish/wax in the past which was very good (after using a clay bar first)

Gazza

Strange you should post this, I’ve been reading up on sealants, polishes and waxes. I agree that the car should be polished then waxed. If a sealant has been used then it’s pointless to wax on that. I was looking at Collinite 476 I waxed the Z4 yesterday using a wax that has been in the garage for y...

Gazza

A friend of mine had a strange bump noise when accelerating and also under braking.

On further investigation it was a water bottle under the passenger seat

Gazza

Like you say, different prices for different things, also I got mates rates

A basic wash and machine polish would be approx £150 depending on size of vehicle, I’ve seen others charging twice this.

Gazza

Had the Z1 detailed, another great job by Dave at Clean and Gleam Romford
