Have an excellent time today folks. I'm in Northampton most of the day, so can't join in.
The weather is good over here so far, so i hope the sun will shine for you all..

Not sure about the child trick, but I know that there are some who should be locked in car boots! :lol: I checked to see if mine was going off by setting my mobile phone to video record & placing it inside the boot to see what happens when it's shut. Probably best to try my method! (You get a sh...

Thanks Hard Top, but it doesn't seem like the one I need. I would prefer an original BMW one, plus it isn't clear to me from that listing whether it is the correct one. (My language skills are only limited to English et Francais).

Hi people, I know that these aren't too common, but it's worth a try, I guess.. I'm looking for a Wind Deflector to fit my 2001 non roll bar Z3. I need one as follows: The distance between pins is 700mm & OEM part number is 821 594 15 972. This would only fit cars made after 04/99. (The earlier ...

I'm gutted that I couldn't join you all today, I already had other commitments that I couldn't wriggle out of.. To make me feel worse, I saw Mike & Sandy heading north on the A10 at 2pm near Downham Mkt, with a nice Z4 behind them! (I was not in my Zed, I was driving my other car, a silver Astr...

That's what I think too!

Hi there & welcome to the forum. You've got a nice looking car there & I'm sure you'll be very happy with it when you get the jobs done.
I would stick to original colour for the alloys, in my opinion, but that's just my view!

lebigmec

Very nice, Macca. I look forward to seeing it.. Oh, i notice that you thought again about red seats?!

lebigmec

If you don't fancy doing it yourself after reading the article, it doesn't cost a great deal to get the bulbs replaced a main dealer. I had mine done earlier this year, it was about £20 or so to get both bulbs replaced. The bulbs themselves were probably more than half the cost. I would recommend th...

Spotted your thread, thought you would be game to convoy there together with the 'East Anglian' crew, Badman Gee's keen to go too. Good excusefor a get together again, even if it is 2012.

I'm up for that!

lebigmec

Tori, it's a real shame that you couldn't join us today. We're having a brilliant time. Make sure you're on top form for the next one!

lebigmec

Sorry to hi-jack the thread, but if the first one here has been sold, then I'd just like to add that I also have one for sale, original BMW oem part, exactly the same as the one in the pics here & in excellent condition, all poppers in place etc. Hardly ever been on the car. Mine is also going ...

lebigmec

Thanks for that, Bill. PM sent to seller...

lebigmec

A good way to decide might be to say what year the car is that they are coming out of... Or there is a website somewhere (sorry, don't know the address).. Cheers.

lebigmec

Do you know if the colour is called Dream Red? (or do you know the trim code?). There were a couple of different reds which are hard to distinguish on a photo.. Thanks.

lebigmec

Mine's sold to D-reame!

I've got the BMW shorty fitted. Quality and looks are great, as you would guess. Reception is perfectly acceptable, but is slightly worse than with the full size original.. Looks great though.

I'll post it for another £10, as it's fairly weighty & awkward. PM me if you're still interested in buying it. Thanks.

Hi Gazman68, Yes there are 2 off positions each side of the lidded compartment behind the seats which have small round plastic covers clipped in . When the plastic covers are popped out with a small screw driver, they reveal tubes with spring clips which look exactly like the fitting kit items used...

lebigmec

There are definitely two bulbs behind the heater controls. I didn't fancy trying to change them myself when one of mine went, but the BMW main dealer did it for me & I paid only a small charge for the fitting. As it seemed like a fiddly job, I figured that it was best left to the experts! I thin...

lebigmec

Just had a look at these. Be aware that there are quite a few of these for sale with the same seller, look for one with no bids if you want one! They are all on 1p.. Maybe get a bargain?

lebigmec

Have a brilliant trip! We're doing a long trip around France in a few week's time, but not in the Zed (Not my choice!). I'll be driving our Astra Twintop instead. It's Diesel, so will be cheaper to run. Not as much fun as my Z3 is, even with the roof down..

lebigmec

Hi everyone, I will need to replace the battery on my 2001 1.9i Z3 quite soon, as it doesn't hold charge for any length of time now, even once it's charged & left on a battery conditioner. It's the original one, so I guess it has done well to last 10 years. Now to my question, when I change it o...

lebigmec

Macca, it sounds like you've had a hell of a time with these lot. Who are they, so that I can avoid them? If you don't want to post it here for all to see, please PM me, if you would. Thanks. I hope the probs are sorted now..

Hi there, You press the code in by using the preset buttons. 1 for first digit, then 2 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd, 4 for 4th. Just keep pressing the button until it displays the correct digit, then once all four digits are correct, press the right hand side button of the ones which would be used to scan or ...

lebigmec

I would also recommend. So easy to use and the results are brilliant. You only need to use a very small amount, so although it seems a little pricey, it will last for a long time. (unless you get carried away using it!)

The 24th July is good for me, so count me in as well.

All Z3's are nice, but I like mine especially (Surprise!). It's not a speed machine, being a 1.9, but I wouldn't say it's slow either. It has huge amounts of 'Grin factor' for me when I drive it, & isn't too bad on fuel. I really love the colour too, it's Sterling Grey with a red & black lea...

Jamezee, I had the same thing with my CD changer a couple of weeks ago. I found that after I had ejected the cartridge with a bank card & checked that all the discs were where they should have been, I still got the 'No Discs' message until I removed the cartridge again, & once it was out I t...

lebigmec

Count me in too, depending on date.

lebigmec

Really nice car & photo's. It's good to see another grey here! (Mine's Sterling Grey), great colour, great car.

lebigmec

We went out on a lovely drive around rural Essex & Suffolk today. We saw four other Z3's. One red & tatty in Newmarket (woman driver who totally ignored our wave), then a blue coupe near Gt Bradley (looked almost insulted when we flashed our lights) & after that we saw a very nice black ...

lebigmec

Hi Volcan, do you mean a rear light cluster or the instrument cluster? Either should be able to be replaced, I would think.

lebigmec

That's terrible mate, I can't imagine how angry I'd be about it. I hope you'll be able to get it sorted out. What brand of wipes were they? If we all know in advance we can avoid them or be extra cautious if we do use them.

lebigmec

Thanks for that Mick, tried it, but no luck. So, still looking... if anyone has one for sale, or knows of one, I'd be very grateful..

lebigmec

In my opinion, Chips Away aren't that good. I had them out a few years ago as we had a stone chip on the bonnet of a new car (a Pug, not a Zed). The guy did a worse job than I could have managed myself, then charged us about £60 or so for his efforts. You would probably be better to try a repair you...

lebigmec

Mine has got the felt lining in the handle too.

lebigmec

Failing that, does anyone know of a website or whatever where I might be able to get one?

lebigmec

If anybody has one for sale, please contact me. I need it for a 2001 facelift model, but I think they're maybe all the same? (Perhaps someone could tell me if they're not?). Please either PM me here or mob is 07931998994. Thanks.

I need a red & black driver's door card if anybody has got one for sale?

lebigmec

Nasty! Tack-a-rama!

I saw a very nice Black Z3 travelling towards Peterborough on Fri 1st Apr about 4pm. Reg began HY52 ---. I wondered if it was anyone on here?, it looked well cared for. I wasn't in mine, was working & driving an Astra van. Much less fun!

lebigmec

Brilliant.That's a help. Thanks Mike, you're a star.

lebigmec

Thanks Robert. The reason why I'm wondering if there should be an EML light is that there is one mentioned in the manual, in the section about warning lights. I've also read stuff here about problems that people have had & this light has come on. As I haven't had much use of my car yet, I want t...

Please? Anyone with a 1.9i M43?
