    Got myself two Wiper modules as my wipers only work on high. Neither worked so went off the the salvage yard and bought two different wiper storks so I can test why the Da? thing doesn't work. As it is an April 2000 2.8 Z3 can't find anywhere a relay could be on the car. Also not sure if the Module is correct. Any help would be appreciated

    My poor memory tells me that the problem is often in the motor itself. I read up on it a couple of years ago, when I bought the car, but my problem just went away. I then suspected it was sticky from non-use (I'm in AZ) Not much help I know, but you said "any help ..."

    This week was a great week for purchasing stuff for the shu! Just don’t tell the wife. She may not be as enthusiastic about it all...
    I was able to get an OEM shift knob, A new defrost vent for the passenger side of the dash, the little m badges for the wheels, and a new m badge for the valve cover on the S54 motor!

    Set of (4) DSIIs for snow tires on the Coupe...all 17x7.5.

    Found (3) on Craigslist for $120, and shelled out $100 for the 4th on eBay.

    Just installed a new set of bavauto ignition coils since I was getting intermittent misfires in cylinders 1 and 3. Car felt much quicker afterward. Still have to figure out my lean fuel trim in banks 1 and 2 issue. Had car smoke tested, saw nothing, changed the maf sensor after seeing the old one was dead and it helped a little but the code is still there. Car dips and surges at idle when the engine is still cold, doubt the coils will fix that but we'll see in the morning lol

    Thats something that I've been thinking it probably is, so I'll do that next. Unfortunately though, despite it running much better the misfire codes came back in 1 and 3. I'm thinking maybe swapping around fuel injectors or maybe cleaning them?

    You know who sells the best vanos rebuild kit?

    This should be the right instructions for your car: http://www.beisansystems.com/procedu..._procedure.htm

    He is the one that came up with the replacement seals first many years ago and did the engineering for better seals.

    The instructions leave one thing out. REPLACE the screws that hold the splined caps to the camshafts. It will save you the headache when you torque them to spec and they snap off. Ask me how I know

    I thought that 50 Nm is VERY tight for those caps. Didn't snap them off, but dried the threads as good as I could to make the torque wrench as accurate as possible. If the threads were full of oil, you probably overtightened them quite a bit.

    A "new" interior trim cover for the driver's side A pillar and "new" sill covers for where the carpet meets the weatherstripping. I don't know why I bothered with the A-pillar trim, considering that I don't even have a dashboard.

    Just ordered a vanos and valve cover kit, plus 02 and cam sensors. Hoping to finally get rid of my CEL and my idle dip/surge. Considering ordering a front strut bar. Between the Dinan, Garagistic, and Stron Strut, any of you guys have opinions on whats best?

    Dinan and Strong Strut are great quality (actually didn't know Garagistic made a Z3 brace), but I like the look of the SS best. If I already had some Dinan CF under the hood, I'd probably go that route. Hmm, think my Coupe needs a black SS...

    I have a Dinan Chip and CAI but its also almost double the garagistic one, and that one looks pretty solid to me. I'm not sure what to do. About to do a ton of maintenance on the Z though, new motor mounts, trans mounts, flex disc, csb, vanos rebuild so I figure its a good time to get a strut bar as well. In the spring then I wanna do coils and refresh the rest of the front and rear supension and fix my saggy headliner, worn drivers seat, and shifter boot

    Was installing VF engineering kit. The instructions are pretty rough, I can’t believe after all these years they supply instruction for a m52 engine, not s52.

    Disconnected the ICV from manifold, immediately got stuck when I realized they gave me a threaded cap, but no tap to make the threads to plug the manifold with cap. So going for a tap tomorrow

    Replaced the original oil filter housing gasket, oil pressure sensor, oil temp sensor, and vanos feed line on my 99 2.8 (130k miles). The gasket leaked like mad and since I was in there I decided to do the other stuff as a preventive measure. The original gasket was pretty brittle. I cleaned out the alternator vent as well since that was clogged with leaves for who knows how long...

    Also installed koni sport shocks (new RSMs) and h&r springs.

    Front refresh (LCAs, tie rods, end links, and lollipop bushings) plus the koni sports with h&r struts (with front strut reinforcement plate and bav auto camber plates) coming in the next week or so when I find time.

    Finished the front suspension and front refresh plus an alignment. It drives a lot better than before.

    Planning on doing the RTABs and RSFBs and possibly hiring out the Subframe reinforcement welding later in the year.

    Meyle/Meyle HD refresh bits
    Koni Sports
    H&R Sports
    BavAuto Camber plates (about - 3* on all four corners)

    Installed a condor tall weighted shifter this week, replaced both front wheel hubs. Next is condor subframe riser bushings. I'll be purchasing coilovers soon once I fix my E34
