So here I am after finding the forum whilst...

[Simon Parlin]

...searching for a solution to the sliding seat problem in my beloved Z3. I've now bought some of Aceman's apparently legendary repair bushes and looking forward to a sunny day to do the work, and hopefully new passengers no longer saying "Ooh my seat's moving!"

Here's a pic of my Z3, which I've owned since 2013, having wanted one since they came out! It's 'only' a 1.9 litre model, but on a sunny day with the roof down who cares? I love it and I'm sure you'll agree it still looks great.

I'm not too sure about the replacement alloys but these were nearly new when I bought the car and came with new tyres, so it seems silly to change them for now. I replaced the hood with a good quality one from Prestige in 2014, and I keep it dry under one of their 'Cabrio Shield' covers in winter.

Anyway, just thought I'd say hi and introduce myself and the car. I'll be doing a bit of minor work on it this Summer (starting with the seat bushes) so no doubt will be popping by regularly to search for wisdom...

Hi Welcome.
Mines also a 1.9 1997 it's a classic car so power is enough for cruising occasional country lane blast it's not about the power I treat mine with a little respect she is nearly 20 years old.
Agree about wheels not essential to change and it looks great in silver I have decided to keep mine as original possible.
Just keeping on top of servicing and minor upgrades of ageing parts.
Enjoy.

hi and welcome, most zeds seem to be 1.9, maybe they were cheaper when new, james bond had a 1.9 (or was it the 1.8) anyway there cheaper to run

Hi Simon & welcome to the forum. Nice car. Lots of good advice on here as I have found. The sliding seat is a fairly easy job, I used the info on the forum to do mine.
