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

Successor of the Z4 project E89 Sounds very interesting! “Driving dynamic tidbits can be presented – the compartments range from the winding stabilization to the electrohydraulic brake? Hello! 4 liters of disel with 449 hp?! Madness! “The wider track creates space for the V8 which is to be used in the top model. The engine range should look like this: • 2.0-l-DI four-cylinder, 185 hp • 2.5-l-DI six-cylinder, 231 hp • 3.0-l-DI turbo six-cylinder, 321 hp • 4.0-l-DI-V8-M engine, 449 hp. Why the 6 cylinders only with 231 hp? Is this the “old 3.0i machine?!”?

hello zettis, I have to get annoyed again. until middle january I have to know finally whether I should get a hand-operated or SMG knitted in. (every other thing is clarified………….. ) what are the opinions about this? tend to be hand-operated at the moment, because I don’t really think about automatics, at least as far as sports cars are concerned. I know that SMG is not really automatic, but nevertheless. What speaks for SMG and what against? especially with regard to the r travel services. thank you & mfg ps @verena: at the first aprilWE I’m probably not in D

For the current occasion a question in the round: Who of you shares his zetti with offspring? Short story about it: I was with the recently and asked for child seats, which at the same time fit in our Z4 AND in our 5er (Touring of course ) which we get soon. Answer: Isofix child seat from BMW is very expensive (about 500 €) and is only allowed for BMW. Switching into other car is then impossible. So for me Isofix would not necessarily be in Fra Ge. Then a problem with the Z4: with a child seat on the passenger seat the passenger airbags must of course be deactivated. And now the hammer: this is not even possible with Bj. before the middle of 2004. No, the airbags have to be “physically” deactivated, the belt shoulder has to be removed – the conversion would take about 3 hours, the rear-fitting also. If you take a “normal passenger” with you, of course, this can not even be retrofitted so easily, which then drives without airbag We will definitely not separate from Zetti, another car with space is also there. What did BMW think about it? Is the Zetti really an ego car? Even our Alfa 147 year 2002 has a simple passenger airbag deactivation with the ignition key. I find that pretty…. What do you think about it? Do you have a better solution? Greetings Prian

Hi, I got the new Z4 for this WE. I knew Prefacelift so far: 2.2i 2.5i Facelift: 2.5si and now the 2.0i. Color black metallic, open-air package, alarm system. I thought at first, well, the 150 hp won’t be so the hit and certainly not so great by the sound. I was taught a better one. I think the engine is really great. From sound one thinks of more power. The acceleration is actually enough. But in the curves it is really fli nk and good to control. Unfortunately, the rental car only has the standard steering wheel. What bothers me is this cheap-looking clapping noise when opening the bonnet. Is that normal? So for all those who think of the 2.0i is not sufficient, wrong, it is! Nevertheless, I am looking forward to my 3 liters greeting to
