Hi from Cape Town

Hi buddy. I'm in Jhb. Any help you might need, let me know.
I have some excellent contacts here for parts if you're looking.
Also, you have to make contact with Imcomex here in Centurion. They carry Meyle and SWAG parts for BMW.
The prices are around 50% - 70% less than the dealer prices. Stuff like drive belts, CCV valve, ERG valve, some mechanical parts like bushes, diff mount bushes, Aircon parts, etc etc.
if you haven't already discovered realOEM.com, get onto the website for all parts specific to your car. Just enter the last 6 digits of your VIN number and hit "Search" then " Browse parts, then select the icon which is most likely to list the part you're looking for. It'll give you the part number and aprox cost in USD.
Cheers
Barry.
PS. You can't lower the seats...

Hi Barry

Thanks for the contact info. Much appreciated.
It's a bugger about the seats..really spoils the experience as everything else is so good.
If I can't find a solution I guess I will gave to go to aftermarket seats.....or back to a Z4

I'd rather go to optional seats than a Z4... If not that look for a Porsche Boxter S

BTW, I have a buddy here looking for a front wheel like your wheels... If you come across any there let me know and I'll pass it on to him.

Welcome Roy!
As color & engine your car is a perfect match for SA!
Enjoy the forum and warm us with some pics in December, when we all keep the Zeds out of the roads, in the dry garage....

Hi, welcome from London.

I took a trip to Cape town around 1999, and remember a BMW dealer very near the Waterfront area. The whole of the front display area was filled by about 12 Z3's, all different colours! I had a Z3 at the time and was amazed to see them there!
