Hi, I'm Nigel from Suffolk. Only just joined. Recently bought my first Z3, 1999 1.9 Roadster. Used it a couple of times between work commitments, loving it. Few small jobs to do. One thing I need advice on please, i would like to install a new car radio/CD player that is Bluetooth enabled, and a USB port if possible. Any recommendations please. Thankyou

For a Tuner/CD/USB/Bluetooth unit take a look at Halfords, you will also need a BMW to Radio patch cable to connect the new unit to the new radio, Halfords sell these as well.
Harness Adapter
You may require an aerial adapter as well to use the stock aerial lead.

Blaukpunkts retro ones are also decent. I have one of these but there are others with DAB, CD etc but cost a bit more. Often
you can find deals on them via Amazon or Ebay. Mine was £80 which I got last month
