Hi, I have a 1999 BMW Z3 1.9cc convertible running on petrol. Can you please give me the pros and cons for the conversion to LPG. Would you recommend such a conversion. Some mechanics claimed that there are no disadvantages, while others told me not to convert as BMW cars will require frequent injectors or spark plugs replacement.

I would appreciate your opinion.

Thank you and regards.

I cannot comment on the Z3 option, however I converted a Peugot 406 1.8 to run LPG as a taxi. My opinion is DON'T do it. Firstly the mpg is reduced by about 10% when running lpg, power is also reduced and then there is the issue of weight gain as the tank is extremely heavy so I personally do not think it suitable for a sports car. My personal opinion only, please take pro advice.

      E64 New Mats - Recommendation Needed

      Hi Paul Carpets are a "Touch and Feel" purchase in my mind for my wife's Subaru I had a local Carpet fitter make up a set. He did a great job all edges taped and stitched and the non slip pads on the back he was able to get the car mats out of off cuts (Contract quality Wilton in Beige). He charged around half the cost of Subaru direct might be worth tracking down a fitter and asking Another thought are Guys like Quarry Motors but again you would be buying unseen but at least they know what OEM BMW mats are.

      Wireless charging?

      S24 Ultra is QI charging compatible (which I belive the factory fitted OEM charging tray is) I have a QI wireless charger in the house for it. Like I say I get a Blue LED when I put the phone it the tray, but doesn't seem to want to charge, will borrow a friend's phone and try that. Thanks
