Re: What did you buy your Z3 this week ?
Yes it is bonded on to the door card, you need to remove the door card to access the back where there is some melted plastic plugs that hold the trim in place. These need to be cut off and you can take the plastic trim off to be sprayed. Best way to attach them back on is to clamp it back onto the d...

Re: Wheels
They would look nice on any zed, a classic wheel to suit a classic car. I run similar with BBS LM's although they are 18" but the widths are 8" and 9" and sit pretty well. Just check the offsets, but these will look fantastic on your zed.

It is still available everywhere, although the code doesn't appear on the website. Add one 5L tub to the basket and enter the code FREEOIL2 into the promo code box and it will add another 5L tub FOC.

Re: Cheap Halfords Oil
Eurocarparts currently have their triple qx 5w40 fully synthetic oil on offer, buy one get one free on the 5l tubs.
Works out at £19.43 for 10 litres, which is a much better deal than the current halfords offer.

F/S BMW (Borbet) 16" Alloy Wheels & Runflat Winter Tyres
I am selling these on behalf of my Grandad, who had them fitted to an F20 1 Series. The specifications are all within the limits of fitting a Z3, even though the offsets are fairly low. Looking on will they fit, compared to a style 55 16 alloy they stick out a further 15mm both on the front and rear...
