Defo get his in-laws to pay off he finance 1st...he will then get a letter of settlement from the finance company confirming the car is paid off this will overide any hpi until their records are updated...also check direct with the finance company that the car is paid up....would imagine 530's are n...

If you were into the E30's previously, the scuttle shake on the E30 cab (i had one before this) is much more noticable than it is on the Z3 , I also had an MX5 previously...I know, hairdryers at 40 paces....I found that although the horses on that were a lot less powerful ,scuttle shake was less tha...

These may be of interest to someone....nothing to do with seller

I've got 'granville's silicone lubricant' in a spray can from hafrauds....spray it onto a cloth and wipe onto the seals

As well as pulling the seals towards the windows ,give 'em a spray or wipe over with silicone lubricant...apparently causes the rubber to expand a bit...worked for me

$tealers....cost about £90

there was a door and sills from a dismantler on sale on ebay recently....could be cheaper to get parts there and get 'em sprayed up??

If you want to see how pimpin up beemers can affect residuals ,have a look at a few E30's...the ONLY ones which will fetch decent money now are those in which the advert is preceded by 'unmolested'....if you go to far you'll never see your money back and probably decrease the value of the car beyond...

Blimey...you got a good price on the strut brace....only a tenner less than new!!! Wish the cars themselves depreciated this slow!!!

Wish they did this for the Z3....$tealers in reasonably priced equipment shocker

Sorry to read of your trouble Ben.....Might be an idea to forget about the insurance claim....to get a bumper sprayed is going to be about £150-200....Otherwise premium going to skyrocket next year. Strange thing with zeds tho', I also drive a battered old audi 80 avant...don't think there is a stri...

Agree totally with Mike....Had an E30 before my Zed, one of the most common problems of battery death on these was the glove-box or boot light kippering the battery. Modern batteries if they are older can appear fine one day and the next be completely dead and/or not hold a decent charge....might be...

They no longer do the right-handed armrest ,so i'll have to see what I can sort out!! ,Thanks Tim ,Moss green It is!

Bummer!! They only do the arm rest for a LHD....however having looked at the way they put things together I am wondering if I can cobble something together using the cupholder as they do and either an E36 or E46 armrest in a similar way they do....anyone any idea whether the dimensions of these amre...

Hi Justin,
Certainly was of help ,thanks alot, colour is the same but a different name....if the worse comes to the worse I would just re-dye the arm rest but I'm sure that won't be necessary
Cheers

I am wanting to get an armrest from LeatherZ but am unsure of the colour of my leather interior....I think it's evergreen but don't want to fork out the dollars until I'm sure....Has anyone got an options brochure listing the leather colours so I can order with confidence??

You may not think there is much call for this sort of info in the knowledgebase but some zeds are now over 10 years old and will be developing the orange rot!!!Prevention is better than cure so get the waxoyl out!!I found this on my door Picture 004 turned out to be this : picture005 on removing the...

The wiring goes into a white connector or plug....the connector unplugs...don't try and pull the wiring out!!!

In the end weather strip came off really easily...there is a plastic stud which pulls out on the latch end off the door and the strip just pulls up out of its mounting......rust was worse than I thought :bawl: ....a gnats chuff away from holing the door, I think give it another 6 months and it would...

It's a '98....so I suspect the $tealers would think I'm extracting the proverbial almost as much as they do ....although I would agree the fault in the paint has probably been around for a few years....so...still need to know whether the whole door panel is coming off???

anyone???

Have a look here lots of tips!

I have a small bubble of rust adjacent to the weather strip on the drivers door...I have managed to lift the strip to find the paint has cracked underneath it and thats where my rust is coming from...as always that 'small' bubble has grown to a biggish job.....Having had a no. of classic cars rust p...

Hopefully it will sell...although bidding seems to have stalled just now....would hope for a higher price as the E30 really is in superb nick...probably a gnats chuff away from concours....however I use it most days so it is unrealistic to not have all exposed areas underneath shiny and not layered ...

Hi ,thanks for the welcome....Ideally I would like a Z3M roadster....but sadly don't think anyone would be quite so daft as to want to exchange one of those for my E30 (no matter how nice it is)....colour isn't too important but would prefer something metallic ,leather interior ,FSH and good conditi...

Hi all, I am in te market for a Z3 at some point in the near future...Have an E30 cab which really is in superb condition....if anyone is needing something a bit bigger...but not wanting to lose the BMW experience...I would certainly be up for an exchange of some sort....My car can be found on flea-...
