So what can be done? Deposits are a natural by-product of combustion and without preventative maintenance, accumulate over time. You may have seen adverts from the big fuel companies talking about the additives added to their premium fuels that tackle deposits. BG GB say the weakness with this approach is that this additive package contained is such a small percentage, you need to constantly use these more expensive fuels to get any benefit at all. And far better, more cost-effective results can be gained from once-a-year dedicated treatments. The Guaranteed BG Fuel Saving Service comprises one product to treat the fuel system and a second to revitalise the vehicle’s oil system: BG 44K® Fuel System Cleaner (or equivalent for Diesel) goes in the tank to clean the fuel system. It’s vitally effective at cleaning carbon-covered fuel injectors. BG EPR® Engine Performance Restoration® flush softens and dissolves hard-to-remove deposits from piston rings, restoring peak compression, ensuring maximum power and efficiency. If we supply a BG Fuel System Cleaner and BG EPR® Compression Restoration Flush and you do not notice any improvement in your vehicle's performance or economy we'll give you a full refund - Guaranteed! (Money-back guarantee subject to vehicle been driven at least 500 miles and claim made within 3 months of purchase) Former Stig, Ben Collins, tested the BG Fuel Saving Service on his own Land Rover! Ben tested the BG Fuel Saving Service on his own Land Rover Defender which he felt was running okay. Since using BG, he reports it's so much smoother - like taking the clock back to when it was new! The Dyno results before and after visually prove the improvement. The curve demonstrates much more consistent torque (available power) throughout the rev range, with an impressive max gain of 7ft/lbs.

Hi Woody....welcome to the Forum It looks a great car and as you say, lower mileage than most. Like any car, it depends on how its been treated as to how long it will go on for and how much trouble it will give you en-route. I would advise checking all service history and also get a proper inspection carried out on it prior to signing on the line. Otherswise it looks like a great car

Yes, forgotten about the DMF....especially under load it can make the car shudder if on its way out as Dave has correctly stated

That's a strange one....couldn't be wheel balance by any chance?

sounds like an internal head unit fault or wiring leading to the permanent positive supply

Was fortunate enough to go on a run with another Zed club yesterday and was great to see so many beautiful Z3 and Z4 turn out for a superb drive through the New Forest....made even better by the superb weather.

Hi Alan I take it you're after the exterior handle? Just looked on eBay and can't find any on there, can only imagine it is a common failure item and hard to source? Possibly they are common on other models of E36 and may cross over on part numbers? Try www.realoem.com....put the last 7 digits of your Vin in the search box and it will bring up your model. Then you can search via part number Let us know how you get on with finding one, hopefully my Z3 handles won't fail but if they do then it's nice to know where to locate a replacement Cheers, Trevor

Hi Danny....welcome to the Club Can only imagine there is a huge imbalance somewhere in the driveline....does it happen in all gears?
