We're planning a road tour with the Nittany Bimmers chapter of the BMW Car Club of America, and I decided to make a little sign to put in the windshield when the car is parked. Kind of a preemptive strike against those who might think, "That's not exactly pristine." It will be laminated, so I can write the exact mileage on at the show. You saw it here first!
2 months ago I purchased a 1999 Z3 roadster with 115,000. I certainly don't have all the problems you are working on. I do have the ABS and traction control faults. My booster was leaking when pushing on the brake pedal. Installed a new booster but still have those 2 faults. I also have the 1188/89 codes so ordered 4 new O2 sensors. Engine purrs like a kitten. I did replace most of the brakes and strut/shocks hardware. I just discovered my OBC clock in the panel. Also a push button in the right panel recess, presumeably the fog lights. Thanks for all your documentation. Hal in Florida
ReplyDeleteNice to hear from you, Hal! I got really lucky in finding a complete ABS pump and controller on Craigslist. Good luck on finding one! Once you do, your 1999 model will be like mine - no ABS relays, so you'll have to cycle the ABS pump for bleeding using multiple hard brake presses like I did. Another option is to find someone with a vacuum brake bleeder - apparently that pulls the brake fluid through the pump, so no cycling is necessary.
