I went to BMW. It was really quite inexpensive. But if you go to a radiator repair shop, I'm sure the guys there will supply a decent quality equal to BMW.
BMW supplied screw clamps, so go figure!!

Propshaft replacement
Has anyone replaced the propshaft with a new one?? I've looked in the knowledge-base, and can't find any info from the past there. My rear universal seems to be in the process of siezing up. I've ordered a new complete replacement from BMW and was wondering if someone else has been through the proce...

Re: rad expansion hose - leaky !!!
If the hose is de-laminating....get a new hose.......and use screw clamps... I've recently replaced mine. Once the hose ages to that extent, best get shot of it.

Re: Roof motor not working
While you're looking at the motor in the boot. Make sure it has fluid in it, and that the level of fluid is correct. The fuse, and the main switch to raise and lower is next, and finally the Micro-switch fitted to the soft-top on the passenger side. That is where most often the hassle comes from. I'...

Re: Z3 with odd roof problem - closes but won't open
Sounds as if you have a switch problem. Before you go off and buy a new one, they can be opened for examination. You will need a thin bladed, but strong knife. Have a look on the long sides of the switch once you've removed it, and you will see that there are locking tabs. You need to gently prise t...

The plastic I was removing the paint from was on the fuel rail cover. I wanted to re-paint the silver on the raised stripes of the cover, and after doing it, the "silver" turned a boring grey. It had dried for 24 hours, so probably still quite fresh. But it came away within 10 seconds, and...

I have just had my console done exactly like that here in Johannesburg....It cost me £.24.00 !!
If you take postage into consideration aprox £.10.00 here and back.......might be worth sending parts here to be done.
