SORN

[Knocker]

Just put my M(Willow) on sorn on Sunday and now putting a list together for work to be carried and parts needed over the winter months. Mainly cosmetic work but first job is refurbishment of the wheels and cleaning the suspension. Any suggestion of other essential work and I will need to disconnect the battery to replace the light switch and refurb the drivers mirror, will there be any issues when reconnecting like warning lights and radio? Will keep this post updated over the winter. Cheers

I had mine disconnected for over 4 months, no problems.

Hi Graeme, glad you are changing the washer tank never could get that looking clean. You don't need to disconnect the battery to change the switch its just plug connectors. Cant wait to see her all detailed and shiny

Edit: Radio is codeless

Thanks Niall, fitted the tank, was not available from UK so came in from Germany. I was surprised how many different designed tanks were fired fitted to a Z3.

Just pop it in the dishwasher whilst herself is out.

Niall, I have to remove the drivers door air bag to remove the wing mirror, in the Bentley Manual it says you just need to make sure the ignition is off but to be ultra safe thought it might be better to disconnect the battery.

Can’t pass a BMW garage without buying parts

I was the same earlier this year when refurbing front and rear wings plus fitting new sills.

Another couple of parts from BMW, I’m spending that much with them that I get offered coffee when I go in to collect parts
