Hello, when I look into the Z4 cockpit, I only wonder how to install a standard radio there. Now please no statements, the BMW radios are good enough. I always take the cheapest radio and replace it with my own (I just hang on to it) Are there mounting frames and corresponding adapters? Greeting

Hello together, I play with the thought of buying a Z3. I just don’t know exactly what to pay attention to when buying. Does the Z3 have any flaws with the ́96 – ́98 models? Or what else do you have to consider? I would be really grateful for everything you posted here around the Z3. Is certainly also interesting for others! Thank you already greeting Caba

Tagchen Zettis, Now it’s happened. I’ve forgotten about the new Z4. So nothing like my dealer. Actually, I just wanted to have the 2.2, but my friend has made me such an offer that I’m now playing with the idea of switching to the 2.5% fleet: Financing to 1.9%, duration 36 months, closing rate 59%. The usual percentages are also available. Statement for this favorable offer: “BMW wants to change the Z3 drivers to Z4” (currently drive a Z3 2.0). Now I am in between the decision to order an almost fully equipped 2.2 or a slightly stretched 2.5. Priced both would be about the same. The 2.5 would not have a fully automatic. Deck (1000 Euronen I find exorbitantly expensive for this), no Xenon (the attachments in the bumper for the washing machine anyway don’t like) and only the BMW CD radio instead of business with Professional DSP. What do you think about it? Can you safely do without the few things? How does it look like? actually with the business radio and the HiFi system? I heard, that wouldn’t be the bringer anyway. Is it more worthwhile to install something decent afterwards?

Hi Z-Junkies, I would like to keep the series tyres (225/16 on serial star rims) and the rear axle provided with any 30mm track extensions because the wheels in the wheel houses look so lost. Are there really serious objections to it (track, fall, camp, …)? And: Please don’t beat! 😉 Thank you atiz *the sunburns from skyandichhockimburostattmitdemzettizucruisengrr*

Meal! I’m here for the first time today- my Z4 3.0 is picked up on Friday, it was time for me to turn in here!!! The car is stelling grey met. has the 108 rims on it and already white turn signals on the back and side! The question came to me already but nevertheless: Do I really have to replace the complete headlights for the front??? Is it really expensive at Xenon or? Thanks for your answer… Many greetings, The New…

Hello together! As you have surely seen at my headline I am about to fulfill my long-standing dream of being a part of it! I have to buy a Z3 Coupe 2.8. The 3.0l is a bit too expensive for me at the moment and for my fav. the M Coupe….naja there is the insurance a bit too expensive for me! What experiences have you made with your Zetti 2.8l? Is it susceptible to repairs? I will probably buy it from private from therefore it is important to me to know what comes to me bz w kann! I would have in the moment 2 to choose from: 03/00 62,000 km silver/tanit red 17 inch radial style 15.800 Euro 07/99 60,000 km silver/black 17 inch radial style 15.900 Euro I have to look at the 99 still test drive or me more closely. But according to the seller it should be tipp. Is the older so the other…! I have already driven the 00 or looked at it. What really bothers me, the aluminium rims have quite scratched…. or the paint leaves off the aluminiums at the front. Otherwise it seems in a good condition. Is there any way to remove the curb scratchers yourself? I wanted to ask the experienced zetti drivers for advice. Would you be very grateful for helpful answers! Thx

Hello municipality, big problem. On the passenger side, where the window closes into the roof, it pinches so loud and annoying when driving, that the neck hairs stand up and I no longer have a peek on the car, the topic “joy at driving”. The problem can be solved, if I open the window one millimeter, but then it whistles at speeds from 70 km/h and if I forget in the washing system, water runs in. After my Z4 now the 5th time because of the roof at BMW w ar and the annoying knarzen can not be fixed, I got really angry and now next week an extra BMW technician should come by with them and look at it. My question: Do I have to do this stuff to myself? Overall the car was therefore now 5 x 2-3 days away, each time it was promised that I will get it back without knarzen and then it always says, we have done everything and it is gone. 10 min. Drive and it is back. Does anyone have experiences with such cases? What kan n man do? Write to BMW? Now I would be happy if the problem can be solved by the technician, but for all the inconvenience I would like to have a compensation by now, what can one demand there or what was done in possibly comparable cases? Best regards!

What was the number of units of the Z3 QP with 3.0l engine ?? Hope that I find a good offer in the summer because at Mobile there are under 20 pounds almost only M-Coupes or 3.0l beyond the 100 tkm mark. Hope you can help me….

I work at a tuning company in Hungary. We have a project in which we build a BMW Z3 with 1800 ccm on a 1.8 liter with turbocharger. The modifications to range engine are finished and are built in. We thought that the power transmission will be better and reinforced we have found an accident Z3 M coupe from which we would buy the gearbox and cardan shaft un lock differential. So my question would be if these parts of the 3.2 liter Z3 M coupe in our 1.8 lite r turbo convertible would fit? Or who you don’t fit dan what solutions are there? We’ve also heard about a six-speed transmission for Z3 that’s true or are the wrong information?

Hi, everybody! I’m thinking about getting a ‘new’ used car at the moment. Actually, I was thinking about a limousine (W202)… Now I’m riding with a friend today, he’s driving a Z3. Especially in the current weather I’ve always liked the car very much! Now my question: I ask an average of about 30,000-40,000 km per year. Do you think the Z3 is suitable, so as a everyday car? Drive to 90% highway, 160 km per day. What about the engine, safety in bad weather, fabric cover in winter etc.? Is the Z3 suitable for everyday use? What is your opinion? Gruss, Mfg MICHA
