  1. Has any one got a spare door card (Drivers side) ? The handle of my Z3 has come away from its door mounting, I will buy the card if necessary!! can't find one anywhere !!! Regards Old Bill Phil
  2. A couple of years ago I sent a picture of my Z3 hoping to get it on the yearly Calender without any success I may add, Any one know if there are plans for members to submit photos for the 2018 one ?
  3. Dave, I have the software and a windows 7 laptop, but I can't seem to download the drivers I need to run and open it, Any suggestions?
  4. Thanks for all the info guys, will follow up what has been said. I noticed a BMW Z3 owner who lived in/near Swindon, who also may be able to help me, any one know his name ? Regards Phil
  5. Hello all, In desperate need of help now, my Z3 has been in 2 garages (both BMW auth) to find out why the dials in the cluster are not working, first garage kept it for about 2 weeks with no results, total cost £350, the next garage has just told me they don't know why the dials don't work, its not the cluster nor the emc as they have been checked against a 3 series, so it must be the wiring, they have had the car some 6 weeks, I dread to think the bill when I go and get it Wed, I cant drive it with no gauges, any body any suggestions as to where I go from here, there is a d*ck Lovett BMW near me, but I dread to think what I would get charged, and of course if they can fix it !! Regards Old Bill Phil
  6. Trevor,  Thanks for the info, I have spoken to the Garage who have my Z3, they don't have

    the software required, they would also need an interface, it seems the biggest problem is getting

    a laptop that old !! Any other info you or others would be a great help

  7. I have recently had a secondhand instrument cluster fitted to my Z3, after the petrol/Water gauges packed up, the speedo has 149,000 miles on, whereas my original had a true mileage of only 65000, any one know how to change the mileage back, I realise 'clocking' is against the law, but mine is a genuine case
  8. Trevor, Thanks for that, I have a 1.8 now in silver, 63,000 miles 1999 on a V plate, (pictures to follow) it is sworn at this time in the garage, I seem to have the problem other Z3 owners have with the ERR_1 code where the mileage should be, which is making the water gauge petrol gauge and rev counter not working, hoping a friendly BMW man can reset the problem with his laptop. Here's hoping. Regards Phil Locke (Old Bill Phil)
  9. Now on 2nd Z3, reliving my youth !! (again) Now have 1999 Z3 with cloth seats this time, very comfortable after the Leather ones !!
