the only difference between your (superb) work and the original one is in the seam undet the cockpit

Thanks for the compliments on the upholstery so far...yes, I am pleased with the outcome to date.. :lol: never seen it. maybe because mine is pre-restyling :) if you can, take a pic more close to it w...

very good job!!!!! :D a slightly different red than mine, but very similar! the guy that is making the works seems very good ;) a little OT question: what is that "stripe" of fabric over the softtop metal structure? think in My zed there isn't a similar one :oops: http://img600.imageshack....

looking very good, assembly of various leather aprts seems very similar to the original ones.

I am interested in the evolution and design of German sports cars. I love the old models like the 1930s BMW 328 and the old Porsches – many of the latter being broadly based on the original VW Beetle design. I have never seen a Z1 in the flesh as they are so rare. I wonder whether the Z1 comes from...

resunoiz

as I knew, the Z1 was "experimental" due to the doors as you said, but also for strong studies on aerodynamic that gave her a good cx for that era, and a lot of studies for particular plastic parts projected to be easily and speedly changeable (something that today we can easily see on the...

no thanks....

and in addiction, if a part will be holed/ruined (can happen, trust me...) you'll be mad to find some leather with the same treatment passing the years...

I changed the hose with n.13 on the schematics a year ago: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/diagrams/d/m/1.png because it had a hole in it, caused by touching with the connector near it, with the green arrow on the pic above: http://www.tonioworld.net/immagini4/images/701929895263ABCD0009.jpg and now, aft...

Welcome

The triangular fasteners are quite common but IMO not as good as the circular ones, if you wish you can just swap it over when swapping the case.

I agree

Just thought there could be just a nice simple gasket needing to be replaced (hopefully). you already found the solution. is the O-ring gasket that are around the spark holes, SN 11120034108 http://www.realoem.com/bmw/diagrams/l/e/49.png http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=CK31&mospid...

I would accept the use of a cover might cause very minor swirls or abrasions with constant use, however if you study Gills photo's that is not paint damage caused by such use, more like a chemical reaction or the possibility the clear coat has been renewed at some time and if particularly soft the ...

resunoiz

never heard about magnetic stripes, but seeing this type of cover the first tought was "but if there is some dust, maybe not so visible that can scratch the paint?"

I made a cover by myself, only using laces, think is the safest way even if the car is quite dirty

here in italy some (not all) hardware shop can make duplicate of the transponder. maybe is not so uncommon...

i think that it is very difficult to find what you are looking for, maybe if you ever find a used seat in your color at ebay. off topic: I'm a member of AIMC (Associazione Italiana Milan Clubs) and I'm going for the match Milan-Inter not a big fan of football (really...I don't like it at all :D ) b...

as in title, I'm wondering if someone changed his seats taninrot leather with anew fresh one/has some broken parts left on a garage...I need a pieces of the "dotted" taninrot leather (OEM code 51928237252). I don't want to re-upholster all the seats in order to mantain it as original as po...

obviously, is the primary premise

and think a great satisfaction for DIY enthusiast

you didn't notice something different in feel on the track with new balances?

resunoiz

V8s are used in the E39 M5 and now E90 M3 so it's not unknown for use in an M car. The V8 engine is slightly lighter I think, and 2 cylinders shorter so it sits relatively further back so handling in theory should be better than the straight 6 3.2 engine. and for the weight balances? more or less w...

resunoiz

NOT to be polemic, at first. But a V8 with a so different conception doesn't pervets the nature of the ///M philosophy? Not for the power itself, but weight balances, engine type (6 in line vs V8 ) seems to me so distant from a M car... Surely is a very big experiment for a "monster car" ;...

in that case, I'm afraid is really the head..

simply, their auto were the "safest" for their era. they were surely brave, but "sure" it was the best safety their technology could give the. If thinking about rally/racecars of 30 years ago (already with seatbelts, strut reinforcements..) they were 500% safest than those on the...
