As to seat motors here is the parts diagram from Realoem site https://www.realoem.com/bmw/en/showparts?id=CM12-EUR-12-1999-Z3-BMW-Z3_19&diagId=52_0807
Two motors under the seat one for forward/backwards and the other for up/down.
Apply 12v to the motor that's out to see if it works. If it runs put it back in and test using switch, if it fails then look at switch and wiring.
As to the rocking seat, replacement seat runner bushes can be sourced here or on ebay

Thank you again @colb Bits purchased. As soon as I have them, I'll get the bushes fixed and test the motor. I've found the threads

Lovely! Looks a little less warn than mine . The blue interior was a big thing for me; massive nostalgia. My first car was a VW Derby (Polo with a boot), with blue fabric interior, inherited from my Grandad at 17.

Welcome from Westcoast Canada!
I'm fairly new here too. Bought my zed in June.
Not too difficult a car to start getting your hands dirty on. Lots on YouTube. Hope it all goes well for ya.

Hi and welcome from me, as stated the Zed is a quite simple car to work on even with a basic set of tools and code reader. Auto knight on YouTube makes a good beginners approach but as stated plenty of others to view plus Zedshed section projects is worth a good read as well as the rest of the forum see you in five year that’ll be the apprenticeship sorted
