    Z3 97 Catalytic Converter

    Agree. Worth noting that the surcharge against a BMW remanufactured one is circa £350.

    Only an OEM cat will work with the M44 IME. :(

    Camshaft position sensor

    The camshaft sensor fails intermittently IME. If you have an OEM replacement, suggest change it! :thumbsup:

    Motopower OBD reader

    Thank you, that is very useful. As 1997 Z3 is OBD1, haven't found an OBD2 one that works. Worth a shot at that price. :thumbsup:

    Spare tire

    Removing the spare does degrade the handling IME. Renew the tyre and it may get you out of trouble some day. :thumbsup:

    Doing us BMW owners proud

    Agree, BMW devalued them some years ago now; just a trinket/bling. If I still had a M car, I would de badge it now.

    Front foglights. Replace, repair or remove?

    Don't think I have used front fog lamps "in anger" for many years. My MC didn't have them and I drove it over 200K miles in all weathers without problem. :)

    I always vote for the car I like best (generally green!). That's the trouble with democracy, others have there own reasons/prejudices! :)

    Cough / splutter?

    I had exactly same symptoms when the cam shaft sensor failed. Getting the codes read is sound advice. :thumbsup:

    Low fuel range and the onboard computer

    Years ago in a Z3, I ran it to 0 in the computer and there was still fuel left; don't know how much though. Only way to really test is carry a fuel can and run the car tank it dry! Suggest not on a motorway though!!
