If you're referring to the bearings and spring cage then yes as well as other BMW models (just changed both mine as the nearside had a little play.) The mounts with the rubber bushing are Z4M specific.

Check the panel underneath too as they are prone to cracking if the fang has taken a scrape.

Why not consider getting a cheap door card from eBay and test fitting/adjusting it to suit?

@Babw sorry for the mega late reply, not been on the forum for ages. I got it from Cotswold with M3 Cutters discount.

Just bought the rhs one, not far from £100 from BMW. :o

I love the fact that most people don't realise what this car is under the skin. Most people just see a Z4 with an M Sport badge on.

I made a little progress at the weekend having bled the clutch. The fluid that came out was fairly minging as I guess it doesn't get flushed every 2 years with the brakes? Anyway as a result the clutch feels better and engagement is now not right at the floor. Having driven 45 miles to work this...

Thanks for the advice, I thought you were suggesting wear in the synchromesh components as opposed to sticking due to oil issues. I wouldn't consider any oil to last the life of a vehicle; prevention is always better than cure.

I'll try that this afternoon, i've been matching the revs when changing gear once on the move this morning to alleviate any additional wear that could be caused. I will try engaging 3-4 at a standstill and let you know the outcome. I don't think it will be the baulking rings as the fault has...

I'm certain it's not a CDV issue as I'm physically having to apply force to the gearstick. So far driving around 1500 miles this problem has not occurred. I have considered removing the CDV but will only do of this once I've found the root of this issue. So far I have loved the drive, the...

First question from a newbie. I've got an issue with the clutch not fully disengaging. It's very difficult to get into 1st and 2nd in particular and has been a little embarrassing at traffic lights etc as i try to engage a gear today. I am going to take a look at the weekend and will bleed...

Picked it up yesterday, grinning ear to ear. Typically it pissed it down as soon as i drove off the forecourt still thoroughly enjoyed the drive home (near Shrewsbury to Bradford) and the drive to work (Bradford to Preston) this morning. Just come from a Clio 182 so gonna take a while to adjust...

Picking it up tomorrow afternoon hope the weather holds out! :D :driving: :evil:
