I’ve messaged them for codes… but none have been mentioned since clearing the ICV, throttle body, air intake etc.

Thanks Stevo. 2000 Z3 2.8 It starts on the button & idles lovely since changing & replacing stuff 😬 When depressing the accelerator It starts to pickup then chokes & splutters. Take the foot off & it recovers to idle beautifully

👎🏻 nope. it seems like a lack of fuel to My Mind but the mechanics are saying it’s something else . Just wondering if anyone else had this problem?

Hello again folks, So… the Z3 has been to the garage (yes I gave up) they’ve sorted all the old hoses, replaced an ignition coil, throttle body & MAF. Smoke tested it all. she starts & runs beautifully 😎 But she won’t rev past 1500 😞 They’re stumped! They think electrical 🤷‍♂️ Any suggestions...

Hi. Short answer. No. i have now replaced all my perished vacuum pipes, tried replacing the MAF, DiSA & the idle control valve… It runs better since changing the pipes but nothing else has made any difference. I’ve given up tinkering & it’s going into the garage tomorrow for a smoke &...

Hi wise ones 😬 I know virtually nothing about cars & engines!!! Be gentle with me please 🤣 My Z3 2.8 2000 (M54TUB28 I think) is cleaning up nicely. Starts & runs. Won’t rev. I’ve changed split hoses. Replaced faulty MAF Started & ran nicely cold but wouldn’t rev when warm. Got the garage to...

It rained… so I know It’s watertight 😬 got a man coming to give it a full valet & treatment. He’s doing the headlights too. was just searching for a workshop manual… any ideas?

It’s got a vertical split in it. also: any idea which of the many online ‘manuals’ are worth paying for? ta

Any advice in where to get a new zip in back window? Searched the blogs to no avail 🤷‍♂️ Lots on’tinternet but which one 😱 Reputable dealers? thanks in advance

Nice one. Thanks. I actually live in Tregaron. Right on the Abergwesyn mountain road - devils staircase, Llyn Brianne - You’ve probably driven past if you’ve ever driven the mountain road, which I’d bet you have, loads of classics pass me on sunny days. Time to get the hot soapy water out &...

Hi folks, What have I done??? 🫣 Mid life crisis is here & she looks like a 2000 Z3 2.8 that has great bodywork & runs but doesn’t rev. 70k on the clock but no MOT. Really lo forward to this project…. I think 😬
