Good luck with the MOT. Some say that silver 2.2’s are the best Z3’s😀

Hi everyone ,
I got the M.O.T pass yesterday , over the moon :) , just had to replace one rear brake pipe , new wiper blades and hay presto . I need to smarten up the dull paint work and replace the BMW badges , I also need the N/S plastic seat belt bracket that's fixed on the side of the passenger seat , does anyone no if there is a complete parts list available for this car ( 2001 Z3) ?? , I think this would be really handy .....

Have a look here for an easy, cost effective seatbelt guide repair. Much easier than removing the seat and stripping the cover off.

Once Spring gets underway things will be posted. In the meantime keep checking the "Forthcoming Events" section under the Forums tab (Top left of page). I posted our local event last week. Torksey Lock Cruise.

Hi and welcome from me. Your just down the road from me. Hopefully I will get mine back on the road this year=))

Part your after most likely cheaper from the dealers. Try Synters that’s in for sale section I think.


Secondhand one here


There are other approaches as mentioned above and a few items that can be purchased to help minimise the incident of damaging seat belt guide again from Littlefella on here
