#41 of 50 Window Fix via Bushings by lhs2miler Feb 05, 2009 (4:13 pm)
http://www.whalenshiftmachine.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&produ- cts_id=8   that's the vendor I used, but I noticed eBay has added some new vendors. This should correct a little slide, but 2 inches is a lot. I have a feeling it is only 1inch and the bushing kit will fix it. If it's larger it could be something else.   Not sure on the answers to the other questions. Replies to this message: salty7 (Feb 08, 2009 3:55 pm) sessman1 (Mar 23, 2009 6:43 am)

Replying to: lhs2miler (Feb 05, 2009 4:13 pm) Rather than dropping the $30.00 for the plastic bushings, I made my own. My plastic recycling bin uses .011" thick hard plastic material. To fix my driver's seat, I simply cut four 1" round plugs from my recycling bin using a hole saw, drilled the proper size hole in the center, traced the outline of the threaded adjuster nut onto the plug, and cut them out with my bandsaw. Two bushings on each rail filled the .022" gap in the adjuster. They fit perfectly snug!

#46 of 50 2001 Z3 fuel filter change by chrism7 May 08, 2009 (9:12 am)
Have enjoyed reading all the posts and from what I gather there are 2 fuel filters on a Z3? Does anyone have pics of how to replace these? My wife's car seems like it is not getting enough gas and shuts off now and then, that is the reason for my looking.   Thanks in advance for the replies.
#47 of 50 HELP by cmorales Sep 11, 2009 (3:59 pm)
My brother borrowed my 2001 BMW z3 (yes I know!!!!), and when he returned it it had overheated bad (!!! yes I know!!!) needles to say, we are not on speaking terms, but... now I need to remove the the valve system, but and when I attempt to take out the injection system, even though all the screws are removed, it has something that does not let it come out and instead it pops back in. Please if anyone knows how to remove this and want to share I will REALLY appreciated.

#49 of 50 Falken 912's by tooltrasher Sep 19, 2009 (6:39 am)
Has anyone experienced a problem with mounting the Falken 912's on the front rims of a 98 Z3M. My local tire shop mounted the rear tires sucessfully but could not get the front tires to seal on the rims.
#50 of 50 Ten Key Limit by techshark Sep 25, 2009 (11:23 am)
Ten Key LimitI just found out that BMW has a 10 key limit on all its cars. That means that you can only ever have 10 keys made for any particular BMW over the life of the car unless you pay BMW $1000 to put in a new ignition and then pay the dealer for the keys. If anyone else has suffered this problem, please send me a note at techsharkprodigy.net. Thanks!
