    Wanted Assortment of trim fittings

    There are decent copies of most of these parts on ebay. The problem is a) knowing which ones are decent and b) knowing exactly what size you need. The cage nuts are the worst thing to get right. The self-tapping screws with the captive washer are easiest. My go to seller is byronix -...

    New clutch time

    The 2.0 & 2.2 have Gertrag gearboxes which are not associated with the detent pin issue. The 2.8, 3.0 & M have ZF gearboxes which are the ones with the detent pin issue. I was reluctant to fork out for a new DMF when I planned my 2.2 clutch change. It wasn't troublesome. But with the gearbox...

    M54 MAF/air intake hoses

    For reference. There is an ABS part K19995 and K19994 (approx 30mm shorter). Looking on realoem it would seem the 1.9 pre-facelift has a different cable than the facelift and pre-facelift 2.8. This would make some sense I guess given the 1.9 pre-facelift has different trailing arms. So K19995...

    illuminated shift knob connector pin

    In my experience that style of gear knob on a Z3 is always illuminated. On UK builds anyway.

    illuminated shift knob connector pin

    If it's on a facelift that's not the correct loom side connector. The connector is much more slim line than that. It's the same type as plugs into the heater panel or ashtray for illumination. I would expect the connector to be there but as it was unused from the factory it's possibly tucked...

    For Sale Full Black Leather Interior

    It's worth showing a close-up of the leather type. It looks like it might be Chameleon (snake skin type embossing).

    Wanted Type 1 Wind Deflector

    Is that the metal frame with the fishnet? And velcro straps to wrap around roll bars? I have one of those if interested. PM me if any good

    BMW M54 Exhaust

    Are you thinking the exhaust goes with the engine rather than the car? Obviously the B25 was used in other BMWs in U.K. But not Z3 as Lee says. The exhaust is custom to the car not engine. And does vary between 6 cylinder Z3s as well. Hope that helps and I’m not barking up wrong tree with question.

    No power to stereo connector

    Those of you who have been around a while may remember the project to put a new loom into a project 2.2. https://zroadster.org/threads/wiring-loom-replacement-project.25391/ It's been slow progress since the loom was done due to other priorities in life but even I was shocked when I saw we did...

    Audio loom

    The audio loom in a Z3 is separate to the main loom although it's taped to it making it look like one. Somewhere that separate loom plugs into the main loom and I need to find where as I'm not getting power to the stereo. The connection is the obvious place to check. Does anyone have an...

    M54 MAF/air intake hoses

    Oh no. I need a pair of them for latest project. They used to be a bargain at £20, only a couple of quid cheaper than aftermarket which as you allude to need a modification.

    M54 MAF/air intake hoses

    Has anyone found a reliable source of non-BMW intake hoses? I normally buy BMW but they are getting expensive now. Best part of £30 ea. I've used copies on 2 occasions before but it's been hit and miss. Lower - 13541435627 Upper - 13541435625 (incorrectly shows 13541705209 on diagrams btw)...

    Sudden loss of throttle response

    Did you make a note of the existing codes before clearing? You've not necessarily picked up the root error of the breakdown issue here from telling us faults after clearing codes. I'm not great on generic codes. BMW codes will be much better known on here but will require a specific reader...
