z3

I have a 2.8L 98 Z3 and I really feel i'm not getting the acceleration and power from the engine that I deserve. Was wondering is there anything I can do to bring it back to the original Acceleration specs or add power etc? Possibly changing a sensor of some description? Any advice greatly...

Hi, just got myself a summer toy - a Z3 1.9 in Arctic Silver. Have already done a few things to her and plan quite a few more, so sure I'll be regularly updating bits on here. Might try to come along to ZedFest in Leicester in August. Pics in the thread below.

So my buddy has some 17x8" rims with the 5x114 pattern. I'm trying to figure out if I can fit these using the wheel adapters. So my current wheels are ET40, so 40 offset as I understand it. The rims my buddy has are 48 offset, and I'm trying figure out what 15mm spacers(adapter thickness) and...

Strange one this... The 16 pin round diag port on my 00 plate 2.0 doesn't communicate, obd 20 pin works fine. If it plug in a connector into the 16pin one it shorts out a 10amp fuse #26 for the reverse light (but doesn't affect the light, weird I know). Once that happens the 20pin obd doesn't...

I realise I'm late to the party with my day-old z3, but where does one get the rear diff reinforcement done these days, as near as berkshire as possible? Cursory inspection of boot seems to show some popped spot welds, and I also have an occasional 'clonk' when releasing the power quickly... I...

Hi all, I've completed most of the major jobs and modifications on my car now and I was thinking about a remap to take advantage of it all. I was however booked in for a remap an hours drive away from me the other week only to find out when I got there, they didn't have the right kit to do it...

Has anyone fitted a stainless steel system to a 1998 Z3 2.8 Roadster and if so which make and/or where was it done? My car has the system with the electric valve on the back box, can that be deleted and if so how and is an engine mod/remap required? TIA

Spotted a nice black Z3 in Buckley, North Wales @ around 5.45 16th March. Reg was something like J3___ or ___3J or similar. Can't remember as I was trying to see if she saw me!=))

Hi again everyone, just over a year ago I had my exhaust replaced but since a few months ago, I've had a rattle coming from the mid box area. Popped down to a local longlife shop and they said I could either upgrade the whole system to a s/s for 380 quid or just replace the mid box for 70. He...

As title suggests, my 97 z3 didn't come with roll hoops or a wind deflector.. I had the top down the other night and I forgot how windy it gets in the cabin when going 50+ mph! I searched but couldn't find a definitive answer but is it possible to fit a wind deflector without roll hoops? Is...
