Anyone carried out any mods to their Z3 that they would like to share? In the throws of updating my Zed and need some ideas and inspiration....

A Faraday pouch is ideal in ensuring the key fob doesn't transmit a signal once you have walked away from it....cheap to buy but bear in mind it won't be secure unless it is in the pouch and sealed (acting as a Faraday cage).

I'm not sure that spraying WD40 will do much, except for the sensor connections which may have some corrosion on them. I replaced the rear sensor on my Z3 for a grand total of £13.86 and it did the trick after a reset and short drive. I was able to scope it and measure resistance to ensure it definitely was U/S and then purchased a replacement....didn't want to spend even this small amount unless I was sure it definitely was faulty. If you can measure your sensors then if open circuit, replace it.

Looks like you've got the forum section to yourself Jay 🙂 Feel free to populate it as you wish, either listing your mods or a review of how you're finding the 440. I'm sure if there is some more content on here then the lurkers will join in with the conversation. Over to you !

Hi Jay....welcome to the Club Would love to see the mods unfold as and when you do them. I always believe that Bimmers are one of the best cars to mod, either small mods such as grilles or full-on performance mods. Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

Hi Sam Had a similar incident with my Bimmer recently, but put it down to coincidence as it had also been laid up for some time. However, I would be tempted to reset the battery and take it for a drive to allow everything to settle back in....if still has codes then (after clearing codes) then it would require further investigation. Let us know how you get on with it

Hi Craig....welcome to the Forum It sounds like it could be an anti-roll bar link or suspension bush if it is making a knocking/deep rattling sound. If it is just a light metallic rattle then it could be brake pads rattling because the fitting kit is incomplete. Would have to hear it to determine further. Cheers . Trevor

Hi John....welcome to the Forum Would also be very curious to know what the fault is....please let us know when you find out Cheers

Hi Andrew.....welcome to the Forum Good to have you onboard
