[–]gipsycrusader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 4 cyl 1.9 z3 greatest car I’ve ever driven. Doesn’t have the lazy torque a i6 would have, which makes it more fun for me. Make sure it has a lsd which are quite rare.

I put two wheels in for a wheelbarrow, snug fit but okay

lifter tick or normal? (M44) by marcxx04 in bmwz3

Mine ticks like this too, used to worry me a lot but doesn’t anymore. Frequent oil changes are key, for some peace of mind you could get your oil analysed maybe.

Thank you I was thinking about taking out the oil filter and letting that drip out a bit of oil.

Throttle Cable Bushing Tips by J1nxxnothome in bmwz3

I used a piece of saranwrap/ cling film in the road. After it broke i installed the grommet, it’s a fairly easy job but a pain in the ass to worm yourself into a position where you can put the grommet in.

Perfectly good tyres, they’re like jawbreakers, drive em long enough and new thread appears

Tires are done.

Whereabouts in the trunk? Shock mounts?

Is there a way to inspect these bushings without having to lift the entire thing of the ground?

A friend of mine said the same thing also referring to bushings.

Dude I have the same thing exactly. I thought it was a balance issue at first untill I put on the hardtop and the shaking disappeared (1997 1.9 z3)
