Hello, just recently joined up.
we have just got a 2005 2.2 black 130thou , 18" wheel. I am working my way through the forum to gain knowledge to deal with some of the faults.
thank you . I have just put new bonnet release cables on today using info form here :thumbsup: , the old one was stretched and bodged up.
other faults to sort, : oil leak maybe rocker gasket,
rubber manifold boot thing, just found it had ben taped up where it has split.
reverse lights fitted but realise that one long beep when I put into reverse then nothing, I can't hear any of them clicking so maybe a fuse or control unit?
only one key and fob and just been told over £160 from bmw for one
I will put a wanted advert for odds and ends I have found missing. thanks, Jason
 
Welcome aboard Jason. :) There will be many request for photos of your new steed. Best post some up pronto to avoid. :wink:
 
ok I will try , thanks for the welcome
Oregon beige leather interior , handbrake and gear knob leather worn .
 
Hi and welcome to the forum. :thumbsup:

I've read some positive reviews for "bmkeys" in E. London, but it depends where you are. There is a guy in Warrington who has disappeared from the forum, but a couple of years ago he cut and coded a flip-style key for me for £80. If that might be useful make one more post then PM me for details - you need to have 3 posts to use the PM facility.

Did anyone mention photos yet? :lol:
 
Thanks Mr Tidy,
could you message me please? I am going to Preston for a couple of days this week so not far from warrington this week. :driving:
 
yesterday manage 300 miles West Sussex to Lancashire , good weather to try it out plenty of rain . :(
I am not sure what the 18" wheels are, not taken them off to check, any idea of the style please?
alos has these headlights sonar? clear chrome, not working correctly , one of the daytime running light? the banana one not working . I think needs to be checked to see what has happened, also looks like they can be halo type but that doesn't work
anyone have a wiring parts diagram? thank you

Hi and welcome.

This is a great resource for diagrams etc. - https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/e85-z4-2.2i-roa/
 
Welcome to the forum :thumbsup:
Wheels are E46 M3 (reps) style 67
Plenty of sets more suited to the E85 come through the forum for reasonable money if you aren't a fan.
 
Thanks paddy.
Mr Tidy , thanks for the suggestions I have sorted a flip key with the Z'er in warrington. :thumbsup:
The car came with one key. I should tell you- :D

Last week I did have fun. I was in the car messing with the glovebox and emptied my pocket onto the passenger seat
so that I could crawl around the car. I found the glovebox fault it was missing 2 large pins 51458397589 for some reason?
So was dropping down when you open it,
I sat down on the seat , got out the car and let the passenger door close, they are heavy eh and so it closed firmly .
AND THEN THE CAR LOCKED ! windows and boot were all closed :D
I had a great fishing time with my brother we used an old wire coat hanger and made a hook, eventually got the key fob up near the window. then used wood strips between the glass and rubber seal , finally pressing down on the key fob to open the central locking. :rofl: oh did we laugh.
 
rocker cover gasket replaced with a bmw new one.
that was not too bad,
I didn't expect the old one to break up like hard plastic :o I thought I had broken something.
thanks to forum info I changed it and no more leaks from that area :thumbsup:
pollen filter changed, again thanks for info.
air filter replaced. engine oil dropped and new filter,
disa valve - I removed inspected and surprisingly for 135thou miles car looks very clean. :thumbsup:
 
Hi, welcome to the forum, it certainly looks like you are getting through that list of jobs :thumbsup:
 
thanks, guess I am not so new know. slow progress on my time off.
I think I get sidetracked and find more jobs ha.
ordered a ccv kit , I noticed the top hose is brittle and has some hairline cracks in so will look at that.I may look to change the oil filter housing gasket ,if that is in the same area when I am looking at the cc valve?
Also having trouble with airbag light ON. I changed the passenger door pillar module, it was showing code fault.
I bought a compatable part, deleted off the codes on my new 310 scanner(bought from maxman on this site :thumbsup: )
However airbag light still ? does it need a better code reader to reset? Thank you.
