Hi I'm new to the forum and just looking for comments and assistance regarding the following; I'm considering the addition of a hardtop for my Z3, any comments where I might find the fixture kit, about how much and is it a do-it yourself fit?

Mine has the electro-hydraulic hood!

look forward to your responses and a thanks' in advance to all

TBH I would think anyone selling a hard-top would include the latchings (if it fits without mods), daft not to !

Hello Road,

The fixings can be quite pricey, I have seen them on ebay go for around the £250 mark, you can no longer get them from B.M.W directly, the hard tops can go for anything between £400-£600, there was a bloke in Scotland advertising to do the kit and fix it for a £1000!! but I didn't go down that road

I have had this done myself, it is worth it if you can get it, as it does give you a bit of added protection in the Winter

Hardtops distort with age,are notorious for leaking,are expensive and spoil the look of the car.Not as easy to install as you may think.My advice,save your money.

Newbie here, likewise just bought Z3 silver with power hood yesterday and that is what I am planning to do next to put a hardtop on it. Been looking all over the net but cannot find anything. I dont mind spending 1000 if anyone knows please PM me. Any colour as long as will fit my Z3 will buy it. Thank you.

Mine is fantastic I found it easy to fit the brackets as I copied the car I brought it off, looks amazing on and I can see out off the rear view mirror for the first time clearly, don't buy one unless it has a fitting kit with it.

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Hi Dave, I fitted one of the sensors on the rear but it has made no effect as the light is still there, I will fit the other sensor tomorrow and see how it goes then. You mention the disconnect the battery, is there any pattern to this ? is it both leads or just the negative lead? cheers Paneuro.

      105C thermostat replacement

      Not sure what engine your running but there should be a Temp sensor in the Hose from the Rad to the water pump then there should be a Temp sensor in the housing for the Thermostat Both are shown in realoem for the 3.5 V8 I thought the V8 was the only one with dual use sensor on the Thermostat housing but stand to be corrected Dave

      105C thermostat replacement

      I have checked realoem and it gives me no temperature sensor option , which is strange. Also what I did was to remove the map thermostat and disconnected the resistance heating that is inside the thermostat and replace it with a 88C from an x5. Nothing else has been changed. The strange thing is that it run like that for 3 weeks in August. When I start the car last week the temperature dial was going to max before dropping to normal value. And that happened only when cold. When warm the dial was showing the right temp. I also saw that the map for the thermostat was engaged when the car was running cold which made me think that there may be a connection between the thermostat dial and the map thermostat not being connected.
