Hello, I was cleaning my engine bay today and got my cloth caught on a hose, which subsequently snapped. When the engine is on, quite hot liquid flows through the split tube spilling everywhere. anyone have any idea what it is? Or how to fix it and if it’s a diy or garage job? Thanks, R

Here's the Problem: Today I rolled the passenger side window down (luckily not all the way). When I tried to roll it back up it moved upwards for like an inch or so and then slowly moved back DOWN again with the motor not being able to lift the glass up under it's own power. I grabbed the...

Hi guys, The other day I changed the oil, oil filter and air filter on my new Z3. It REALLY needed it! I then took it for a spin. After about 45 mins into the drive, my engine management light appeared on the dash. I was wondering if you guys have had the same issue before, on one similar to...

Hi everyone, I have just bought a 2000 1.9 Z3 roadster and it needs a few aesthetic improvements doing to it. I noticed that there are one or two cracks in the rear plastic window. The largest one is about 1 and half inches long. (See photo) I’ve used some stuff on the window, as I know...

Hi Everyone Has anybody had experience with the Halford's BMW paint? My Zed is Boston Green and I don't want to spray the bases of the new X8R mirrors if it isn't going to match up. We have a family friend who does great paint work but he's away and I'm reluctant to wait as my wing mirror is...

Hi Everyone I'm new here as I've recently bought a beautiful Boston Green 2.8i as a fun hobby - it's in really amazing condition for its years although both mirrors have corroded. I thought this was possibly the end of the world (as you do!) but found some helpful threads noting a particular...

Hi all, since I had my coilovers fitted about 5 months ago I've had a clunk type noise coming from the boot area. I've checked countless times underneath the car and can't seem to find anything wrong. All spot welds are perfect too. I'd say about 6/10 times it does it either when I move from a...

Hi, Ive owned my Z3 for about three months now, just joined the site so please bear with me! hoping someone can help me? Pretty much ever since i bought the z3 it has had the same problem, while driving or at junctions It will splutter then conc out (sometimes just cuts not even a splutter). It...

Hi everyone, I have just had an engine management light come on and my car has either gone into limp home mode or has seen a massive loss of power (2.0litre 2006 z4, 67k miles). There is now no acceleration whatsoever but the car does start and allows me to drive it. Is it ok to drive still...
