Wanted Found - Z3 OBC facelift

[Alin S]

After buying an OBC on eBay which isn’t powering on, I am now after another one which actually works … are there any available on the forum?

As far as I understood only the faceplate is different between the pre and post facelift so I think I can use either.

Best regards,
Alin

Pre or post facelift?

To be fair I have both

Andy @Iain C was looking for a face-lift one a while back not sure if he ever sorted it .
Since you mentioned you have both I thought I'd tag him into this thread .

Thanks @Stevo7682 I have a couple of facelift ones and cars here to test they work before posting.

Face-lift model ones are desirable and hard to find took me a couple of months to find one had bought a full pre face-lift set ( obc , switch temp sensor) and ended up paying as much again just for the round obc .

How much would you want for one ?

 

[Stevo7682]

@Alin S I think you are right and it's just the front plastic that's different which gives you a slight advantage as you have that piece on your non working one make it easier to obtain one .

I retrofitted an obc to my Dakar and all I did was plug in the outside temp sensor fit the replacement indicator stalk with te built in obc switch and removed the clock found the different multi plug fir obc plugged in all working straight away .

Might get in line after Alin if there is another post-facelift available

I think I have a facelift OBC going spare. What's the typical selling price?

OBC = On Board Computer?

Sorry for being a bit thick.
