10% MEMBER DISCOUNT ON ALA FIVE STAR GAP INSURANCE GAP Insurance covers the shortfall between what you paid for your vehicle and the insurance pay out should you be unfortunate enough to make a total loss claim. If your vehicle is stolen, involved in an accident or damaged by fire or floods and your insurance company declares it a write off, they will settle at the value of the vehicle at the time, this can leave you out of pocket by thousands of pounds. A brand new car can lose up to 70% of its value in the first three years alone, while a second-hand car can lose as much as 20% in the first six months, giving you an idea of the financial impact a write off could have.

Haynes do a manual for the 3 series which covers the Z3 as most of the mechanicals are the same https://haynes.com/en-gb/bmw-3-series-1992-1998-haynes-repair-manual-usa

Maybe easier to strip down and repaint yourself...going to do that on mine as it seems to be suffering from the same malady

issue with rear passenger side lights!!
Bimmer Owners' Club replied to blakeway2513's topic in BMW 3 Series Forum
Worth checking the light clusters for corrosion...but as the indicators are working on the hazard switch then its doubtful that there is an issue with them as the hazards come from a different power source than the indicators....so yes you may be right with the footwell unit diagnosis -
issue with rear passenger side lights!!
Bimmer Owners' Club replied to blakeway2513's topic in BMW 3 Series Forum
Hi Mark....welcome to the Forum It sounds like one of two things....first one is that you have the wrong bulb(s) check that if the bulb holder has one or two contact points then the bulb should have the same amount also. Secondly, if the earth connections are poor then this could also produce the same effect....try running an additional earth wire to the side of the bulb and see it that cures it. Let us know how you get on with it Cheers . Trevor -
let us know how it all goes and would love to see a piccy of it

If it works then its the cheapest route to go otherwise replacement is the only other option then

Hi Adam....welcome to the Forum Fine looking car and practical as well...enjoy! Good to have you onboard Cheers . Trevor

WHO hit my new car!!!!
Bimmer Owners' Club replied to Cockney1967's topic in The Owners Club General Discussions
Top quality repair....shame it happened in the first place :-( -
Maybe worth flushing out the engine oil with something like Wynns or Forte to clear out any carbon deposits and see if that resolves it. Also, worth trying good quality fuel to see how that works.

Hi Steve...welcome to the Forum The 635 is an awesome car and is generally quite reliable but a thorough inspection before buying backed up with a long warranty has to be the best way forward. I would recommend an independent inspection company like Dekra https://www.dekra-expert.co.uk/vehicle.inspections It also helps to get any defects rectified prior to purchase or price reduced to compensate. Let us know how you get on with the purchase Cheers, Trevor

Hi Barry....welcome to the Forum That's a difficult one....first thoughts are non-factory conversion and Cat D as well....maybe worth holding out for the right one? Cheers, Trevor

is it diesel?
-
A good remap (for economy and driveability) shouldn't compromise the durability and reliability of the engine....different story for remaps solely for performance gains (e.g. stage 1, 2, etc)

Hey Jude (sorry couldn't resist that) I would opt for the 2.0 if you are going to use the estate for the purpose it is designed for (e.g. carrying loads) in which case the extra power should compensate to a better MPG overall. Let us know what you think of it when you get to drive the 320 in comparison to the the 316 and 318. Cheers, Trevor

Its nice to know the speedo is reading fast so that when you go through a camera at least it will be the right side of the limit :-)
