Hey all,

I recently bought a 2000 Z3 with a handful of issues, so I'll be asking lots of questions! I'm from balmy Minnesota. I look forward to interacting with you all.

Thank you

Good colour that ! Quite like those wheels too

They look like 326M wheels from an E89 Z4. But they were 19" and those aren't by the look of it.

Lovely wheels!

Here is a guide to help you with parts buying: (I don't know how well everything will work in US)

Technical - Part Buying Guide For Newbies

Smudgemanuk submitted a new resource: Part Buying Guide For Newbies - Part Buying Guide For Newbies Hi all, welcome. I thought I would make a part buying guide for people new to the forum, as I found it quite daunting for the first few weeks of owning my z Step 1 - Finding part numbers...

Hello from PA! Just got myself a 2000 a few weeks ago too - yours looks fantastic! What’s on the list for repairs?

Hi and welcome from me, any info on the wheels?

I love the whels too, all I can say unfortunately is that they are 18"s and have the M logo.... further than that, I don't know where they came from.

I have a DSC and ABS light, and 9 codes. It looks like the steering wheel angle sensor is the culprit, but I get good values in INPA and ISTA for the steering wheel angle.... trying to dig deeper before I pull the column. Also, I have GREAT heat! But it's stuck on heat! so I need to replace the climate controls. The window regulators are sluggish and the seat belt guides are toast. I also suspect my VANOS seals need refreshing, as I lack a little low end grunt (Although it is just the 2.5L)

It could be your heating valve (in the engine bay side of the matrix) isn't closing. Or your 'flaps' aren't working correctly. They are cable operated by the heating wheels.

I would have thought in 'balmy Minnesota' in the Winter heat would be a good thing?

It's the heater control, the yellow arm had it's ball stud break off. Heat is definitely all I need right now, but (hopefully) spring will come, and I'll need other temps. I may wait until spring.

That sounds extremely painful. I had to cross my legs!
