Thinking of replacing the - probably original - soft-top on my Aug 1997 2.8 Z3 and not sure, after extensive internet research , which top to go for. There seem to be 3 options: 1. Choose pre-fabricated hood from the US (Robbins, EZon or Sierra using Stayfast/Twillfast fabrics) and get...

Hi Guys I would like to remove the black plastic trim around the windscreen on my Atlanta Blue 1997 2.8 BMW Z3 as I plan to replace the rather tired black hood with a dark blue hood (even though the seats etc are black) and I believe the Atlanta Blue paint under the black plastic trim will work...

Would appreciate any ideas on where this leak could be coming from. Was OK when I set out locally today for the vet but the car started overheating on the way home and I found coolant running out of something central and behind the engine block when I stopped in the garage on my return - looks...

Interested in finding anyone able to supply and fit a new roof for a Z3 in France. Was wondering whether Mike Fiswick or other members living in France might be able to point me in the right direction please? I know about the usual suppliers in southern England but it would be convenient and...

My 1997 2.8 Z3 after a month or so of maintenance and improvements. Have now even managed to find a new Stephen James sticker for the rear window - the car was supplied by them 24 years ago to its first owner.

After various cosmetic changes I have made to my 1997 2.8 Z3 over the last month or so, I now have for sale: 1. A pair of OEM pre-facelift rear lights with amber turn indicators. Undamaged and virtually as new. 2. A pair of side turn indicator lights with amber covers. Undamaged and virtually...

Have purchased a second hand 6 CD changer for the boot of my Z3 and it's on its way. Unfortunately I discovered today that the main feed cable (the car was pre-wired for the boot changer but it was never fitted) appears to be present in the boot but without its connector so all I have is a bare...

Looking to buy a 6 CD changer for the boot of my late 1997 BMW Z3 2.8. The car has been pre-wired for the changer but, as far as I can see, one has never been installed. I am happy to get the bracket and other minor components from an on-line BMW agent as necessary but would like to save some...

Looking to buy a 6CD Changer for the boot of my 1997 Z3 2.8L. The car has been wired for the changer but one has never been installed as far as I can see. Happy to get the bracket(s) and other minor items from a BMW agent on line if necessary but looking to save funds by getting a second hand...

Hi Was wondering how many there are of us active on the site and living somewhere in France? As a relatively new member without access to any site data, I have been advised to ' just ask the question' - and this seems to me to be the best place to try. I know of two - myself here in Normandy...

My Z3 hood is kinda OK but the usual repairs have been done in the past to a couple of corners of the rear window and the fabric, while generally OK, shows signs of wear in places and is a very dark grey rather than midnignt black as I would like. I have tried Renovo on this and other previous...

Hi everyone I am a Brit living in Normandy, France and, for the second time, have recently purchased a BMW Z3. This car is a lovely RHD French registered 1998 (Aug 97) 2.8i auto in Atlanta blue. I have just finished a month of maintenance and improvement and it now looks and feels good. Have...
