Morning Mike, saw your comment about `steady 50MPH` .. Did you have a tyre puncture? Where? not up the Hardknott?

Yes, I clipped a rock on Hardknot and killed one of the front tyres.
Just seen a convoy of Z3s driving past Elterwater heading up Great Langdale in the Lake District. Shame I couldn’t be with you guys. Enjoy your run out……
Hi Tony, I have a problem with the boot not fully locking. The soft close mechanism doesn't seem to be working or engaging. When I lock the car on the fob it kind of locks the boot so it won't open but is not fully locked down as it would be if the soft close mechanism pulls it fully down. Is this a wiring issue and how do I check please. Many thanks Dave
I found some on USA eBay that fit and look perfect. Not ACS but looks like what they were shipped with. Would you like a link?

Hi Tim!
I found your Z3 Cobra build with Z4 seats some time ago.
Can I ask you how much work it took to fit these into the Z3?
Hi Lee,
It looks straightforward but do I need to replace the guide support Real OEM 3321092362, 3352119263, 51718413359. any advice would be appreciated. I guess spring pads would depend on springs fitted? Finally to my original question; How do you adjust the dampers for normal road height and normal road use? Sorry for so many questions but out of my comfort zone with suspension stuff.. thanks Martin

Hi Martin, you can use either lowering springs or stock springs with Koni shocks. Koni shocks normally only adjust for rebound not height. The height is determind by the spring fitted. If your changing the shocks its worth replacing those top mounts and fitting a support plate just make sure you have a large washer each side of the rubber bush or it will pull through.. Send me a PM for more info.
Hi Lee,
I mentioned in a previous post' Sophie returns. Z3M body overhaul' that I would like your advice on fitting Koni's to my 1.9 1997. I want to keep the same ride height so what springs would you recommend to do that. I have looked at Apex, H+R et al and not sure what to get? Regards fitting the dampers is there anything I need to be aware of or replace as I fit them?
Cheers Martin

How many lbs do I owe you to be sure? 13 or 18 lbs. I will send you a money order made by my bank. What is your full name and address?
Thank you for your patients, Guy. If any other communications can you do it by E-mail. Mine is (guyglemieux@hotmail.com) .
Hiya ! I am looking for £9k, to include the roof, fitting kit and Y555 BMW plate. There's loads of additional bits that are not being used, that I'll throw in. Tonneau cover, original Dakar shark fins, blue shark fins to match the roof, whatever is stored in my loft, you can have.
Number plate A999 BMW is for sale at £5k on eBay ! What I am asking represents value for money for such a fabulous car.
Your hard to find. Were you the one whom sent me the carpet retainers about 6 wks. ago? If yes can you give me your full name and mailing address. I owe you some money and I would like to send it to you. Thank you Guy.
Hi Tony.
I received 4 screw down tabs to hold my two carpets in place. I was wondering if it was you whom sent them to me? I would need an address to post a check or money order to you. Can you help me on this? I received these back in early February 2021.
