I had mycataract surgeries a year ago. I still chuckle at being able to see roafld and street signs from a distance. I knew my eyes were bad but nit that bad. I also was afraid to drive after dusk because my night vision was nearly nil. Now my vision is 20 -20 and driving at night is no...

Dang! Wish I'd known, or at least had the imagination to think of this sooner. My rear window was virtually new when I bought car. It still looks okay, but might have stayed less creased and scratched...

Before we moved to Abilene, we went to visit our daughter there. I told my wife, after 2 days there I was losing my will to live. Everything was brown. The ground was brown, the sky was brown, the prople were brown, no trees, just mesquite. When we moved there a year later, I told her itvwas...

Where I live in Texas, there are 2 Z3s, mine and a very nice lady who only drives hers about half a dozen times a year. I have only seen one Miata, but there's only 6500 people in this town. On the other hand, there are about 10,000 pickup trucks. 😂 Well, it IS Texas, so...

I drive from here to Abilene Texas,when I was teaching a fencing class there. It was my first long trip after buying the car and I thought the fuel gauge was broken because it had barely moved. I fueled up to make sure I wouldn't run out of gas on the way back and it only took 4.033 gallons...

Has anyone had the whole mirror come off the arm and bracket that is affixed to the window? Mine did. It had been loose and flopped a bit, but today the mirror completely detached from the bracket. The problem with reinstalling the mirror part is you don't have access to the screw which holds...

Condolences to the family. Sad news, indeed.

If I'm not mistaken, I think all Z3s made in the US came with a/c standard. At least that's what I was told by someone who's owned them since they were introduced here...

Okay, it pays to investigate all possible reasons your car won't start...as I was about to begin the push start process, I decided to give it one more try. Still no go, but I notice the plastic ring around the ignition, where the key inserts, was half off. Push it back into place and the car...

It looks like I'm going to be giving the push start a go. Weather here is calling for severe thunderstorms, hail, possible tornadoes, for most of the next 10 days...can't chance leaving the car out in the open. If the driveway to my shop was level I'd just push it in inside , but it's uphill a...

Thanks

I see my 97 Z3 requires a 20 pin connector. Haven't found one yet, but have access to an OBD-II that can be used with a 20 pin adapter. Has anyone used one, and how well doesit work?

79 here. Bought a '97 z3 6 years ago and love the top down, even if it is 105 here in Texas. My dog loves riding in the car, but at 74 pounds, she's a bit too big for long trips. Driving in Upstate NY, Vermont, and New Hampshire you get some really nice scenery, did it often when I lived in...

Here in Texas that would get you frim Texarkana to Wichita Falls. Still Half a state to go! :D

I forgot to mention that apparently it was claimed to be a bad idea, and to not try it, in a discussion on zroadster.net...

I have never heard of pushbstarting a car being a pri lem. However, I read that it coukd cause a problem with electrical components, like the ignition system, in bmws. That sounded bizarre to me, which is why I asked the question. Thanks for letting me know I'm not crazy. :)

So everything I've read says don't push start the Z3. With severe weather heading in I need to put it in my shop, with an uphill driveway. Is it really a bad idea?

Having the same issue at the moment. Waiting til Saturday to see if it's other than a starter problem... ..

I just finushed reading Dino's original post, and have a question. Is your new steering wheel.a replacement or aftermarket dport wheel, and does it have airbag? The reason I ask is , I had a chance to get really nice Momo steering wheel for the Z3, for free, but removing the wheel and airbag...

I did mine in the late 90s as well. The owner was an SCCA driver, I worked Timing and Scoring. I think the track day was for a bnw club event. Thunderhill Raceway has mutiple track layouts they can use for races, drifting, driver training, etc. It was great fun, I wish I'd done more of them.
