Can't find one with the Zed...

Mad Max

When I saw those brakes it had to be you

Good luck with the Zed

Mad Max

Didn't know you were on here Marcus

Mad Max

It's the M50B25 manifold you want, I don't believe the M50B20 is the same.

There's another thread on this somewhere with Alpina527's email addy on it, he's the best person to talk to about this as he makes the conversion kits along with the BBTB's.

Mad Max

Hey Tori, sorry to thread rape but it's kinda on topic... what are those fogs you've got in yours?

Mad Max

Quad exhaust..? Looks lovely, shame about the super-coolant tank but I'm sure that'll be sorted soon

Welcome Xavier, very nice car you've got there.

Mad Max

Sorry HT, not trying to tread on your toes

"Leg puller"

Mad Max

Oh my, that's your nitrous super-coolant tank that you've busted there! Man, I wouldn't be running that car in a hurry, get it replaced, if I remember correctly it's normally the positronic valve that get's blocked and caused the failure, I think BMW retail them at about £350 or so. I wouldn't trust...

Mad Max

Why oh why did they have to do that scene with a Dakar...!

Mad Max

Ok, my last points as I do not wish to be labled as a do-gooder. - The A frame around the windscreen is designed as a safety feature, so even if it is close to your head, in the event it's required it shouldn't move much. - These bars would be right behind your head, and if the car did go over they ...

Mad Max

If they did bend in a crash, they'd be very close to your head.

Mad Max

Bonnet damage...?

We had this on a C&F cruise on e36coupe a few years back. One mangled nose cone and some red faces. Hope this one's the same story, and that bonnet isn't too mangled!

Mad Max

I don't get the point of these roll bars that aren't actually designed to protect you at all...

Mad Max

If we're thinking of the same Ian, he's alpina527 on e36coupe.com. He sells BBTBs and the modified M50 manifold conversion kits for the M52B25 and B28. Good mod, I did it on my e36 323. Frees up the top end nicely and £/bhp it's about the best you can get for that engine. According to the forum his ...

Mad Max

You did WHAT at 4.30am?!? :lol: One bit of braking can't of done that, surely. Are they made out of Play-doh? I'd think it was more likely to of deposited some pad on the disc. Personally I'd go out, brake hard and fast a few times and see if it makes any difference before you splash out on new discs.

Mad Max

It does indeed also apply to my engine, but I am well aware that the S50B30 that I have is different to the S50B32 that is in the early Z3Ms.

I'm just saying what the threads on e36coupe recommend for the Evo, which shares the engine with the early Z3M.

Mad Max

For the S50B32 (e36 M3 Evo engine) most people I know go for Silkaline Pro-S 5w 40. Not cheap, but bloody good oil.

Mad Max

I've got Bosch aero blades on my M3 and they are very good. I've been talking to the guys at www.wiperblades.co.uk but there's no Bosch aero ones listed for the Z3 and they're not sold seperatley.

I'm gonna try a set of the Valeo ones, see what they're like.

Mad Max

Strange how the "kit cars" that are pictured have BMW wheels... which would either cost more to convert on top of the kit, or they're actual Z3's in the pictures... lol.

Like everyone on there has said - why when the price difference is so small?

Mad Max

I know he is a nice guy, but does anyone else find it annoying when he does this....................... http://i751.photobucket.com/albums/xx155/jimmyronaldo/sheep/166330.jpg Yea, his finger stinks after he's satisfied Christian Horn(y)er and Adrian Newey...

Mad Max

Really? Do you think Webber has actually driven well enough this season to deserve it? Think back to Melbourne where he drove Hamilton off the track one and then crashed into the back of him. Or when he walloped into the back of poor Kovalinan and flipped out. EDIT - I forgot when he idiotically too...

Mad Max

Alonso.

I'd rather Lewis won, but that's what I see happening and I wouldn't begrudge him if it happened.

Mad Max

Sorry Hornell but there's just no way to compare my insurance to yours - I've got a policy that covers both this tweeked Zed and my trackable M3... that combined with ages, locations, etc etc.

All I can say it that AF have always been good to me!

Mad Max

So, driving along the other day, opened my drivers side window and boom! Rear window split in half! I was only doing 30mph, and though it was a cold day I did not expect that! http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p177/maximilianwettern/Z3%203l/IMG00494-20101019-0903.jpg Disaster... ah well, quick call...

Mad Max

As I said above, unless you actually want a oil filler cap, I wouldn't hold out any faith.

I've tried Googling and looking at old catalogues and I can't find a petrol cap that ACS made.

Mad Max

I was gonna say just go easier on the throttle to minimise the wheelspin...

But seriously, the belts are a good place to start. WD each pully in turn, see if one stops the screeching.

Mad Max

Well for starters it looks more like an oil filler cap.

If he's not responding, start on the complaints process. Especially if he's got bad feedback already, I wouldn't trust him.

Mad Max

Wow! That looks great

The popping sounds like mine!

What a price though..!

Mad Max

I don't know. the impact was pathetically slow, but the car was rotating at the time... It's just the slight crease in the boot and the way the boot lid has gone wonky. The flaked paint could well be from where the backbox has hit the side of the spare wheel well, and on the 200+ miles back my butt ...

I found another few pics on the web from the track: http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p177/maximilianwettern/The%20Ring/untitled5.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p177/maximilianwettern/The%20Ring/untitled4.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p177/maximilianwettern/The%20Ring/untitled3.jpg...

Here's a few more from on track, there's a few others I've found but I'm gonna have to get more creative to get them ;) 2nd to last lap: http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p177/maximilianwettern/The%20Ring/27-09-2010-TF307.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p177/maximilianwettern/The%20Ring/27-0...

Mad Max

Gotta say the difference in response from the e36 forum and this one is startling... :( So I'm sat there eating breakfast with Anna, discussing how we can improve the look of the rear light and I'm eating a mini-babybell... lol!

Mad Max

...you see the thing is, that even on Forza Motorsport, I know not to do just one last lap. Yup, I’ve pranged it, no point in beating about the bush or trying to hide it. So there I was, I’d done a lap already and then I got chatting to an S2000 owner who’d just turned up for his first lap. I’d tol...

Apparently they stuck out to far, I had no problem with that so out they came!

Off to the museum today (expect LOADS of pics!) and hopefully, if the GP track is open, I'll sample that too

Mad Max

Right, well the track is closed again... actually... I can hear an ambulance :( Shizzle. One last bit of car porn for tonight, a nice 430 Scud: http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p177/maximilianwettern/The%20Ring/IMG00394-20100926-1738.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p177/maximilianwettern/T...

Right, it may be raining, but I'm gonna brave it and get some pics in the car park. I've seen a Dakar, Imola and Cosmos Z3MC there today... see if I can find them again!

Good morning everyone! Well, it's just started bucketing it down here... damn shame, but good job I managed to get four laps in earlier.

Mad Max

29 laps??? I hope you're taking a spare... car?!

Yea, I brought two copies with me, I was temped to get more, but I didn't know if it'd be allowed or not. Turnes out they're just fine with it!

Hope the weather holds for both of us mate, I wouldn't wanna be going at the track when it's soaking wet!

You really do! It's the spiritual home of every M car. It's what they were build to do. There's a lot of brand new Z4s here, and I've got to say I've fallen for them in a big way. I had one follow me all the way around on my first and only lap so far. It looked great in the mirrors! There was also a...
