KW V3 Coilovers for a Z3M

Hello, I am selling my car (a Z3M Coupe) and it seems a standard car is easier to sell. So, I would like to swap my KW V3's for your suspension plus cash my way - obviously some standard z3m suspension. My KW V3's have done less than 3k miles, so hardly used! The only issue is that my car currently ...

Blimey! Well done, never thought I would see the day when they pay out for Vanos!

Explain to me what you mean by your Vanos had gone and did they send an engineer to verify the diagnosis?

Was the vanos just noisy? or had the unit sheared off the front of the block? Or was the power down?

Hi,

The problem is that the hex screw to turn the adjustors is just spinning freely, which has resulted in not being able to move the beam up or down.

So you reckon I should be able to dismantle the adjustor mech and reconnect?

How would I do this?

need new adjustors or headlamps

Since fitting Xenons, it appears my headlamps cant be adjusted(ie. Beam up and down aim).

Any ideas if you can just buy the part or do I need new headlamp units?

Where would I buy these?

IMO, the theory of a strut brace in its functionality is all well and good.

However, a strut brace on its own is not sufficient.

In conjunction with ARBs, a good suspension set up, then we are talking!

Headlight adjusters

For lateral and vertical movement.

Are these adjusters z3/z3m coupe items only or are they common on all e36's or all bmw's.

My adjusters are broken and i don't want to shell out 30quid a side when I may be able to pick up a second hand adjuster easily...
