No Derek, Haynes never made one. I'm sure there is an E36 manual on the internet that you can down load in PDF, then print the relative pages. The engines were used in both cars I beleive. @ zedonist will know for sure.

Haynes do a 3 Series 1998 manual which covers quite a few Z3 jobs. Have you confirmed which engine you have - @Cooper sent you the 6 pot procedure - I can send you the M44 - 4 pot if you need it.

@jonco thanks. I don't have any issues as I fixed mine sone time ago. The six pot procedure was the one I created to assist others! All is good!

This DIY procedure is not for a Zed but it covers most of the work required for an M44 style filter and is a just as good as the TIS

As already said there is a Haynes Manual for the 3-Series which covers some of the Z3, if you want a manual for the Z3 then you need to dig deep about £50 - £70 for the Bentley Z3 Manual:

Or you can do as I do and use the BMW TIS Online:

Hope the above helps...

so todays the day i got my big goofy looking grin back whilst the wind was in my hair :)

oil leak fixed, took about 4 hours to strip down to the oil filter housing replace gasket and relevant O rings, also changed the alternator belt for good measure, managed to give the engine bay a bit of a clean as there was oil everywhere.
checked the gearbox oil also.
now I'm not mechanically minded really but i don't mind getting my hands dirty and stuck in and as the Z3 was bought for me to play with this was an ideal time :)

huge thanks to everyone who helped and suggested things on here i wouldn't have thought of
Awesome group of people and i think you

lets see what my next problem will be haha
