BMW Z3 Cluster wiring to emu
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

BMW Z3 Cluster
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

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)
