BMW Z3

It may be that your window needs to be adjusted. That is all it took with mine.

Fixed my serious (gallons) leak by removing the 2 rubber seals on each side of the top, sprayed them with a slicone rubber dressing and carefully fitted them back.

To change the oil depends on the engine model. Check your engine model first in the registration and go to the technical information in your BMW z3 booklet.

To compensate the leaks or oil consumption (oil burned in the engine) you have to check the level on the dipstick. The oil level in the engine (cold) should be between the two signs on the dipstick. Never over fill and use the same quality of oil.

"No new car really completely keeps its value, cars are one of the worst investments that can be made. BMW's likely retain their value better than other brands due to the companiy's high brand perception"

The manual calls for 93 octane. If you use anything less, you'll find that performance suffers-- and, you'll likely end up getting poorer gas mileage to boot.

Hi, My best recommendation is to drive naked. J

Pop the small covers off the screws and remove the screws. Then pry the door panel loose. It's held on with plastic snaps that pop out when you pry with a screw driver or pry tool. Be careful not to scratch anything.

Supposedly superior engineering which in BMW and the VAGs case give reliability.You may or may not be aware that the Z3 is an American and not German manufactured vehicle. Well, not exactly. The reason that they are more expensive is because they constantly change the way they build cars, the technology, and the fact that they are all in some kind of expensive racing program which in turn produces more functional and pleasing cars in the way they handle, feel, and look. If they made cars say like the big three, where each model has parts and designs that are off the shelf, then yes they would be a whole lot cheaper. There is no such thing as a reliable machine, it's a machine and it will have some sort of flaw. Every manufacturer has to deal with their own, and all of them posses problems of their own.

raise hood,from front to back right rear corner next to fender

check oil level if ok its the vctec system

Sounds like you need to replace the outside door handles. There is a piviot section that wears &/or breaks stopping the outside handle catching the locking mechanism. It is a bit fiddly, but after the first one they become easier. I have had to replace both rear handles on my 84 & 88 town cars - both use the same handle. Also check to see if the child safety lever has been enacted,it is located near the latch on the door.

You bet, probably two.

Well its harder then the hood the side emblems on my 1999 z3 2.3 had two sided adhesive tape so get a wide narrow screwdriver and a piece of cloth and start on the side and pry as much all the way around the emblem take your time and be careful not to put pry makes on the side grills because they are plastic you will hear the adhesive being pulled up be sure to go from side to side because of the guide pins,once off clean the adhesive off the side grill use two sided tape or a light adhesive to reapply remember the less adhesive the better it will be next time you have to do this....

I had luck using a lock graphite spray direclty into the lock and then inserting the lock and slightly during the wheel over and over again. Lock was "dry". Insert key and try to turn it. Do this over and over again. Put some graphite on the key and insert. Wiggle wheel. Eventually my key turned and that was almost 2 years ago and no problem since.

If you use too much graphite, key will come out of lock black and so you will need to wipe off excess, if any.

there is a cilinder located at the front of the motor with one bolt on top in the very middle. just losen that bolt and pull the top off and the oil filter is just inside. when you raplace it dont over tighten or you could break the cap. also make sure to pay attention to where all the O-rings were and replace them.

For the airbag light to turn off, you'll need to repair the cause of the airbag malfunction, or disable the airbag by using a BMW scan tool or other software.

Open the hood of the car and up near the windshield on the right side, looking from the front to the back, is a black fuse box that clips shut on the front. Lift up the cover to the box and attached to the inside of the cover is the fuse diagram.

The Z3 was a computer from the 40s, not the bmw like the person before this answered. I have found that it was a simple calculator so I would believe that it could add, subtract, multiply, and divide.

I have yet to find find a free service manual anywhere on the web. I might just buy one take the time to scan it and upload the pdf as a torrent. So, unless someone responds with a magical link to one, keep an eye out for the torrent file in the near future. I have yet to find find a free service manual anywhere on the web.

most likely it's a dud battery in fob. Easy to replace, just prise open fob. Keep a spare battery somewhere as I have been locked out by a dud battery!
