Am I likely to damage the pins if and when I manage to separate the two halves of the connector? I mean, if they are corroded are they likely to snap when I pull the two halves apart? What's your experience? I'm a bit concerned as I guess I would then need to replace the connector, which would...

Following your advice I managed to undo the bolt and disengage the plug from the frame. I pulled the lever on the end of the plug but was unable to separate the two halves, perhaps due to corrosion?? I'm going to have another go so want to check what I should do when I manage to separate the...

I've removed the front bumper to replace the lower grill. Can anyone tell me where the headlight washer pipe is supposed to run and how it's attached? I can't find any diagrams or images anywhere :rolleyes:

Hi guys, I'm fitting a new EOM lower front grill to my E85 Z4 3.0 Roadster and when I offer it up the fit looks slightly off. With the protruding edge of the grill fitted OUTSIDE the edge of the bumper (with the headlight washer hose sandwiched in between as shown in the first image) the fit...

Is this easy to fix? Are there any instructions available?

Unfortunately the airbag warning light came back on again yesterday :cry: so I checked for fault codes and the following six are showing:- 1. SBSR Satellite. B-pillar - 98EB Resistance, firing circuit, thorax airbag, rear right too high 2. INSTR Instrument Cluster - 2B020220 The fault code...

I have the Autophix now and I've checked for error codes and reset as much as possible. The airbag warning light is now extinguished so problem solved! :D The only remaining error code says "Internal Fault: ALH" which I believe is to do with the headlight adjusters. I'm aware the headlight...

Thanks for the explanation enuff_zed. I just ordered the Autophix 7910which should arrive next week. I'll check for error codes when it arrives and post them here for your insights!

Brilliant, thanks enuff_zed, much appreciated! Any comments on the differences between the Autophix 5900/7910 and the Creator 310+ / 410+ and which is the best one to get? I assume the 7910 is better than the 5900 and the 410+ is better than the 310+? But which is better; Creator or Autophix...

No, that wasn't me. It's a small Z4 world! Which fb group was that?

Thanks for the advice enuff_zed. I'm based in Guildford, Surrey, in case there's anyone nearby with a code reader. I'm happy to travel!

Guys, I have an airbag warning light showing on my 2003 E85 3.0 Roadster and want to find out what the problem is and reset it if possible. I've read various posts about using a code reader or different pieces of software to read the error codes and do the reset, but most of the posts are pretty...

Ok, thanks but I ordered the brand new part from BMW for £65 including VAT.

Ah ok. Now I can see dates. Far less confusing. Thanks!

I didn't know they were different to be honest. Mine is a 2003 3.0 roadster Automatic, so I guess it would be ideal, or is it for a different model. Could I also get the plastic fixings studs? I'm guessing I lost mine when the grill came off.
