I hope this isn't just me that has experienced this, or that I'm dreaming it. But a number of times in recent past I've had people use their windscreen washer jets for what I believe is the sole purpose to try and spray into my car with the roof down? Obviously this doesn't work! As you know if...

I finally sold my 1.9 about three weeks ago. Managed two whole weeks with just one Z and bought this as a little project! 2.8 on an R plate. Rough around the edges but a superb car underneath the paint swirls! PS anybody have a hellrot red boot lid?

Looking for anyone breaking a hellrot red Z3, after a boot lid. Have picked up a 2.8 as a little project and it used to have a luggage rack on. But not an OEM one and the holes that are in the boot are pretty unsightly!

Canvassing opinions on the best place to get the following parts for my 3.0 roadster. I am in need of a CCV valve, associated hoses and a cam cover gasket. This is the parts list from the BMW parts computer at my local dealer with prices. Do you think these prices are reasonable and if not does...

With genuine sadness I will need to sell my first Z3 due to now having two. I fully intended to keep this car for the foreseeable future but an opportunity that couldn't be missed means that I have now landed a later model 3.0. Car is now listed on eBay if anyone is interested...

Discerning gentleman (and ladies of course). I'm interested in everyone's take on the best winter driving gear for roof down motoring? What do you currently wear, what would you like to wear? I'm currently sporting a green bobble hat with ear flaps, matching scarf and some motorbike glove...

I know that I've read countless threads about the 1.9 v's 6cyl debate, but now that I have both sitting on my driveway I'd like to wade in with my first hand experience. Firstly I am over the moon with my 3.0. BUT I would also say that I have a new appreciation for my 1.9 that was only...

... and I have finally found the needle in the proverbial haystack. With a very limited budget I have been looking / dreaming about upgrading my 1.9 to a 2.8. Then on Friday it finally happened, the holy grail an affordable 3.0 in quite frankly excellent condition! (except the wheels) Spent...

OK so I'm possibly about to pull the trigger on buying Z number two, its a bit of a project but I'm feeling like I haven't spent thousands of pounds on something I don't need in at least a year or so, time to shake things up a bit. Also my girlfriend likes to find things to moan about and she's...

I learned to drive rear wheel drive cars back in my early 20's. Started with a (don't laugh) Volvo 740, then a BMW E32 735i, then an E30 325i. What I instantly liked about driving these cars is that if you did something wrong they would quite happily spit you off the road backwards into a field...

Just a last minute one to bring attention to this, I wasn't going to attend because the forecast was dire so none of the good stuff would be there. However looks like a last minute change so I might risk it. If you have never been or heard of it, it's well worth a visit for any car enthusiast...

Hey guys, thought I would tap up the fountain on knowledge that appears to flow through this forum. Being a long time admirer, but not a long time owner of a Z3 I'm still pretty green as to what should and shouldn't be. So my roof leaks, a little bit. Not too badly but it drips a little at the...

Hello everybody, I'm Poprin (Paul). People do call me Poprin in real life so that is also totally acceptable, possibly a story for a later time! I'm 33 and I live in Telford, Shropshire. I've been a petrol head for as long as I can remember, I spent most of my student loan and money I earned...
