Bimmer Owners Club

Hi.....welcome to the Club That's a fine looking Bimmer....I'm sure there will be plenty of members offering advice on how to improve it, not that it needs much by the look of it Good to have you onboard!

Thanks Richard, will go searching for it on Netflix 🙂

I'm sure it won't snow here but certainly feels cold enough I didn't know they replaced Vanos Seals on Wheeler Dealers ..... what model BMW was it they were working on?

If only I had the money and the space.....and the time! What a great project for someone...especially with it having a 2.8 engine

Not sure but think you may need to code them in for current supply if it wasn't originally there

🙂 would need to get all the parts in and maybe would get it sorted in a weekend (fingers crossed) Certainly cannot wait to go for a long drive out.....not really worried where I go as long as its a long one 🙂

Winter's over and perfect weather to bring the Z3 out of hibernation 🙂 Going to set about various jobs that have been waiting for some time now Rear Coil Springs Stainless Exhaust (cat back) Some paintwork Vanos Seals Brake Upgrade Steering Bushes Should keep me busy until lockdown is over !

I know that there are companies like Forge that supply different lengths and bore sizes but you would have to use connectors to create the bends and that can look a bit ugly but effective nonetheless. https://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/Silicon_Hoses/Straight_Hose_500mm.html

Not sure I would trust many adverts saying 'win this...' but have given BOTB a couple of tries recently to win a watch or a Harley Davidson for around £1.50 - £2.00. Well I suppose its unlikely I'll win either but for that small amount I thought I'd give it a go as someone has to win it

So who's up for this one later in the year? https://www.beaulieu.co.uk/events/simply-bmw/

Hi Neil Welcome to the Forum You certainly had a great history of car ownership, some lovely machines in there. Our very own Greydog also has a pretty impressive historical list of previously owned iron Good to have you onboard

Hi Chris Welcome to the Forum Sorry to hear you've had some serious issues with your X5. Hope you get it sorted or part it out whichever is more appropriate

Hi Samantha....welcome to the Forum I believe it has a festoon bulb fitted in the boot (will check on my Z3 later) and here are some from Halfords https://www.halfords.com/motoring/bulbs/239-white-led-car-bulb-halfords-essentials-twin-pack-723639.html They also sell a brighter version but not sure you need that much light in the boot though 🙂

Happy New Year to you Dave and all Bimmer Owners Club members 🙂 Let's hope this year will be as normal as possible and we can resume our lives in happiness and good health. Cheers, Trevor

Alldalights my thoughts also. Definitely interested in a stainless sports exhaust mainly for the weight saving (original is a huge weight compared to the thinner stainless steel). Saw a company on eBay which looked good quality and price https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-Z3-Custom-Build-Stainless-Steel-Exhaust-Cat-Back-BZ301/162638054054?fits=Car+Make%3ABMW|Model%3AZ3&hash=item25ddfbc2a6:g:gXYAAOSwgyxWXc9n You can even choose the design and sound of the system as they build it for you there and then for £280 for a Cat back system. Will probably go there once lockdown is all over next year and at least that will be a good start. After that, was thinking a few bushes but too many as can stiffen up the suspension a little too hard for everyday road use.
