Does anyone know what happens to the Z3 when its timing belt breaks? does it ruin the engine/valves or does the engine just harmlessly turn off and upon...
As Ed says, we don't have belts, I don't think any BMW engines have belts any more (but besides the point). Even though I have never seen a broken chain...
A few days ago, I went down to the apartment bldg garage to take my 2001 3.0L 5spd Z3 out in as it was one of those infrequent sunny, warmish, dry days. Doors...
That's good to know. My wife & I are first time BMW owners. Actually nearly the same car as yours. 01 3.0L w/an auto. Sounds like I'll be buying a 3rd battery...
Sorry, Did I say timing belt, I meant fan belt. The reason why I ask is that my last car died because it's fan belt broke (on the freeway, and fried the engine...
Hi all- I know my (dad's) Z3 is wired for a CD player and has a stock CD capable head unit, but where does the changer mount? I currently have a 97 e39 with a...
BMW Engines don't have fan belts either. They have something called fan clutch. Fan clutches rarely die but can get weak over time. If a fan stops working...
Mel, Thanks very much. I just wanted to know what to do if the obvious happened. I had a Mazda and the fan belt broke; the water pump must have stopped and the...

Anyone, Is the only way to get a duplicate key made for a Z3 to go to a dealer (and get totally worked over) or is there a reasonable way of getting one made?...
I have 36,000 miles on my 2001 Z3. The tires, which I assume are original equipment, have severe tread separation around the entire tire on all four tires....
Duplicate keys: you will not be able to have the key made anywhere other than the dealer, and they don't make them either. example: BMW AG sells the car to BMW...
I will be out of the office starting 17/06/2005 and will not return until 06/07/2005. I will answer your mail on my return....

You managed to get 36,000 out of the tires? Congrats!!! :-) Seriously, I think that's about right, although my tires are usually toast by then. Look into...

Hello group: I've been thinking about getting a hardtop for my 97 Z3. I have been having a hard time finding anything online, is there another resource for...
Any Z3 hardtop fits any Z3 - you don't need to worry about the year. You may still be able to get one through your dealer - I bought mine that way about a...
Just a tip about buying a hardtop online. I would give preference to the hardtop located within driving distance to you. Have the dealer install a hardtop...
Hi, my Z3 had the hardtop, and every time I get ready to take it off it's back to rain. Oh yes I have the receipt for the hardtop from the BMW dealer. The...
Thanks Stan, I think I'm going to have to go that route as well, the X5 is just fine in foul/snowy types of weather (although in San Jose CA, we don't get much...

Yep, I have a 99 with a 6 CD changer in the trunk, works good. Big Yellow Man <bgyllwmn@...> wrote:> I know my (dad's) Z3 is wired for a CD player and has...
Hi- found the cables finally. Unfortunately the changer doesn't work like it should. The head unit will acknowledge the changer, see the disk and even change...
