1.9 wide body?
Good morning! My widebodied Z3 is on a W plate (Feb 2000) and it has the 2.0 straight 6 cylinder engine. As far as I know the 4 cylinder was fitted to some of the widebody models (I saw one in a garage recently) but not sure why you would want to go with the 4 cylinder over the 6 cylinder as they are worlds apart and the 6 cylinder will go on forever with makes for a much more exciting drive. Plenty of Z3's on the market at the moment and they are certainly increasing in value so pick one up soon before the prices get out of hand. I would recommend you look very thoroughly at the metalwork as rust is an issue with some, but by the time the widebody Z3 came in, they seem to have sorted a lot of issues. Let us know how you get on with acquiring one and if you need any further info then just let us know.- 1

1.9 wide body?
Morning Phil First thought "is it a genuine wide body or an aftermarket kit that's been fitted" I would check one of the Vin Decoder websites using the Vin number to see what the original build sheet tells you. As it may be a rare customer special order One of our Z car owners may have more thoughts Dave- 2

module
Morning Frank BMW do like to charge stupid prices🤣 in the UK you can buy a new one with warranty for around £150. 5 minutes to change a used one from £20 to £50 and as said I have not seen a failed one since 2001 (my first X5) Just remember BMW do not make these parts they buy them in. BMW Air suspension is a fairly simple system 2 Fuses a Relay a Control Module a Compressor 2 Ride Height sensors and 2 Air Springs The most common faults are leaks ? Leaking Air Bags. The next is Compressor failure the leak causes the compressor to run far to long and it wears out and can't produce enough pressure to lift a heavy car. Your car is 12 years old so the suspension at an age where it could do with a refresh whether its springs or air. You need to know what the problem is. Is it Suspension going down and not inflating ? Is it compressor not running ? Is the suspension lopsided ? A Scan with BMW capable software would tell you/us more My X5 is 2009 vintage I have just fitted a new compressor as the original was getting tired (over running) £140, with 5 year warranty. Both air Springs £160 with 10 year warranty whole job took me 5 hours on a Saturday morning I don't have a lift so all work was carried out in my home garage. If you cant do the work yourself you will need the help of a mechanic having software that is BMW capable is the only requirement otherwise your guessing Dave
