Hi All

[Big_Bad_Dom]

Hey Everyone,

I’ve just joined this forum as I recently bought a 1998 Z3 and am very much looking forward to picking up some hints and tips as to how to keep her in good working order.

I’ve already done the usual serviceable items, such as brake overhaul, re-hung the exhaust & sorted out the play in the electric seats. Also replaced the rear suspension springs as one was broken. So I’ve been kept pretty busy, but thoroughly enjoying my time working on her!

Still got to sort out corrosion on the sill covers and the steering wheel is very worn (so considering getting that refurbed), but having a blast out on the roads in the meantime!!

Cheers!

I managed a top down run to Waddington today to pick up a new dash cam for Shirl's oil burner. Another this evening for a run to the local Chinese takeaway but I had to put a jumper on, soon turns cool these days

I was looking at Royal Steering Wheels. Any idea of a ball park price for a wheel refurb?

Hi Frankie,

Thanks for the message! The colour is Hellrot 314, or at least that’s what it says on the plate under the bonnet.

Cheers,
