Guy.....54....owned a z3 for just over 9 years. I have used this site regularly and it has been a god send! The most recent time being help in finding the supplier for a new rear screen.
I thought it was about time I started contributing......here goes.
My z3 failed it's mot last year due to an ABS sensor warning light being on. This was an intermittent problem that had been getting worse. It also had an advisory on the near side outer ball joint. I drove the car home and the warning light went out. The car past the mot next day as the light did not come on during the re-test. In getting the car ready for the mot this year I replaced both suspension arms and both track rods as all were becoming worn ( I used "Meyle" parts and would recommend them ). I also installed a strut brace. My next job was tackling the ABS warning light issue.......but guess what......The warning light has stopped coming on!
I just hope it is due to the new ball joints and strut brace reducing vibration and not a fluke!
