Replacing broken AC vent tabs - BMW E85 Z4M
Ventclips.com is where I bought the replacement tabs. This is a pretty common issue on E85/86 models and this is the best solution I could find.

Driving on Tail of the Dragon - BMW Z3 M Roadster

My stomach wasn't cooperating, but the drive was well worth it. My Z3M was definitely a perfect choice for this trip and RT660 tires kept the car planted. Tail of the Dragon/ Deal's gap is appropriately called the "Hillbilly Nurburgring." It's 11 miles long and very demanding. My average speed was in the 40mph region.

How To Find Hidden Coolant Leaks on a BMW E36 M3 In Under 5 Minutes!
Yay!! I did it a couple of years ago when I got my M Roadster, N to S, so I was on the outside lane with more inside turns. So much fun - but I was so slow around those turns - 2nd gear in most of them. ha ha
Thank you! Most videos skip steps which are usually the tiny details that I needed. (I just ff through the black screen section lol) I'll attempt a disassemble today. Thanks again.
What size are those screws?
I like your videos, have you thought about doing a video on the shifter lever to the transmission seal?? More z3stuff please
20+ year old bmws start to fall apart even if they're low mileage and it'll cost a small fortune to keep them on the road even if the car itself was cheap to buy. Stay away from these money pits.
Cheap in UK no one wants them
What’s with the LOUD music, making your speech unintelligible?
Next time consider a bit of additional lighting when filming underneath. Especially when filming a repair that is more technical than just mounts.
Thanks for the feedback! I actually haven't posted a number of videos because of this. The issue is that the quickjack doesn't lift the car that high, so filming underneath gets cumbersome. Haven't gotten around to finding a good solution for this yet.
Awesome! I have one on my vert, but it's rusty, too. Question: How are you jacking? Did you just drive up on the boards to raise from the front crossmember?
That's exactly what I did.
What is the part numbers
www.bimmerworld.com/Suspension-Steering/BMW-KONI-Shocks-Struts/Koni-Yellow-Sport-Shock-Set-for-Z3M.html
For shock mounts, there are multiple options available. I used Lemforder.
Had no idea you could do this! are you running this with h&r springs?
Yep. I think this is the best setup for street/modest track use short of using coilovers.
@@CarGuy1 ah I see! Would love to see the pictures of the height, do you have an Instagram?
Great video! Going to be doing the same on my 99 M Roadster. Hopefully I can get the trunk floor reinforced this year too!
75W-90 is the wrong visco, u need 75W-140
75W-140 is for M variable Lock diffs, which first appeared in E46. Prior to this, BMW specified Castrol 75W-90. I ran this for the last 2k miles with no issues at all.
@@CarGuy1 This is incorrect! For all Z3 and Z3M which have LSD, 75W-140 is required! Please do not provide these false information to other BMW drivers, as you/they will crush their diff with the wrong oil.
Nice. Just did this job on my M roadster last weekend. I also did the fuel filter while I was under there and that thing was NASTY dirty. It was an oem filter so i bet it hadnt been changed since the factory 70k mi ago.
Thanks for pointing that out! It was on the list, but somehow I missed it. I am willing to bet that it has never been replaced on my car either and I'm at 100k.
@@CarGuy1 looking forward to seeing you replace the detents! Mine are going bad too. Same with the clutch line. Apparently switching to a stainless clutch line really changes the feel.
Have you done the clutch on this car yet? Do you plan to do a video on the clutch?
PO had the clutch replaced. It is a bit odd that they didn't do the fluid at the same time. Unfortunately they didn't replace the detents either. Next item on the menu is either the oil pump but and baffle or randy Forbes kit.
Nice drive!
I love idiot parades.
I ran the tail back in the early 2000's in my 88 vette.....3 times, twice with a group of vettes.
I don’t understand how the caps are supposed to go on. I have a bunch of different screws and none of them fit inside the cap.
have done this job 4 times now on the same caliper, and every time i put a new seal in it it broke while compressing it. So i bought a reman caliper and its leaking from the piston seal as well :')
Turns out buying a different brand seal kit fixed my issue. The seals in the ac delco kit were too small
why aren't your video views and subscribers increasing? The reason is 1. Your video is not being SEO properly. 2. Your video title is not SEO-friendly, so is not reaching the right people. 3. Not using video and channel hashtags properly. 4. No video description use properly. 5. Not sharing the video on social media so your videos are limited to your channel. Your video is awesome. Such videos are in great demand. If you do these things correctly, hopefully, you will get a lot of visitors. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. If I can help a wonderful person like you, I will do lucky. I will cooperate with you in all kinds. I am waiting for your reply,,,,, I want to connect with you for your channel purposes
At the 2:40 mark, is that a basic 3 arm gear puller you are using? Is there anything to between the end of control arm and the pull to protect the end of the arm at all?
Yes it is. There is nothing added to protect the end of the arm. I didn't see the need to do so.
Hey, cable and and pług is the same e83 and e85?
yes, it's all plug and play as far as wiring goes.
@@CarGuy1 Sh*t, i change infotainment screen from x83 to my x85 and screen didn't work :( fuse ok
@@dominik1307 Don't panic. LOL. Is your battery charged? Also, try disconnecting the 2 switches (the ones that open/close the screen). I remember mine doing something finnicky.
Thx brother.
What ended up being the root cause of the failure? Was it the ribbon cable that was bad?
I don't believe it was just the ribbon. It's obvious that someone opened this thing up before for some reason and they likely damaged the ribbon during disassembly. I don't see how it would fail on it's own. The secondary fail was the gear on the electric motor. It was nowhere to be found.
@@CarGuy1 thank you for the response. I am dealing with a screen which will not power on and trying to determine if it is the screen itself or the nav dvd player. Do you know if there is a way to bench test the screen with a multi meter or aux power supply?
@@michaelgeer9371 You'll need to give it an input signal. Does yours flip up and stays black? Side note - make sure that your battery isn't drained. My car sat for a while. When I put the "refurbished" unit back in, the screen would flip up and remain blank. It almost drove me crazy. I then tried to put the convertible top down and it wouldn't move. That's when I charged the battery and everything came back to life.
@@CarGuy1 no issues with the screen movement and just installed a new battery last weekend, and put the top down with no issue. Found the wiring diagram for the 18 pin plug, it is receiving power and all grounds, and had voltage at the r,g,b pins which leads me to believe the video card in the dvd player is functioning. I got the Sharp video screen uninstalled today. Going to order a screen and hope it is not an issue with the circuit board. As a contingency, did you keep the board from your extra unit and would you be willing to sell it, it that is found to be my issue?
@@michaelgeer9371 I kept the board. let me know if you end up needing it. It's the original board from the E85, since I put in the one from E83 in. They did upgrade the E83 unit. You can readily tell because it doesn't have all of the capacitors that you see on the E85 unit.
Seems like you may have skipped over some steps in the video
Man! Thanks for this video. For me it came a little too late because I bought my 08’ Z4M last year with the same problem. Checked in the forums and everyone said nothing but original won’t. And they are super expensive on eBay. So I ended up putting a CarPlay in the unit, but sacrificing the open/close mechanism
That's one of the main reasons I wanted to keep the original. I don't like that screen being open all the time. I saw another solution which utilized an older 6" garmin unit, but that was AFTER I already completed this project. Eventually, I might just swap out the dash for the one without NAV and install a double DIN unit.
@@CarGuy1 thanks! Eventually at some point I’ll follow your steps. Definitely would like to keep it original. Z4 units are too expensive. Awesome what you did!
Insane handling!! And what a sound…
Factory X-Pipe? Sounds incredible
Thanks! Yep, it's all factory besides the back section.
do you have a link for the parts? and the screw wont bend on hard driving ?

Thanks I have this same product. Can I use on NRG or aftermarket seats too ?
Looks clean underneath. Nice purchase.
If you move your arm out of the way then we can see what you're doing instead of just seeing your arm. The same applies to your back & the back of your head.
Best of luck with the new project. One thing that might be worth looking into is the crack in the bracket where the upper strut brace mounts to the passenger side strut tower.
Thanks. I did catch that. I had it checked out already. It was likely a result of the fender bender on that side. The strut tower itself is in correct position and alignment numbers are well within spec.
you skipped the part where you disconnect the console from the dash. That's like 90% of the hard part?
You'll fix it. It's an amazing car brother !
Z3's are tough my Z3M been hit by two semis, a 3500 ram and Hyundai car😅. First semi ripped my front bumper off was parked... second one I was in sitting waiting on the light to change second it turned green semi behind me when full send but I had 10 cars in front of me and he was drugged out of his mind, 3500 ram was parking next to me at work and trying to not hit the curb in the monster 3500 4 mega car 4x4 (6x6 if you count the rears as 4 not 2😂) turned his wheel back in a way the front tire turned in the middle on my rear pushing it sideways so hard it taco'ed my sub frame flattening me tire, then the last one popped a hole in my bumper with a toe eye bolt. But 20 years of ownership you have that happen. Few kids at Walmart slamming doors in to it leaving vertical dent lines. It'll be okay they are tough cars
Not useless at all! But i need a video for the front, but good video.
What kind of screws did you use? Thank you !
Good show bro
Nice seat covers, where did you buy it?
These are original seats. I just had the bottom panel replaced on the driver's side.
This is incorrect. You're supposed to seat the caliper piston seal on the piston in the proper final position prior to inserting the piston into the caliper. You should also lube the internal seal so the piston slides in effortlessly. And third, you should not lube the outside of the piston seal as all it will do is attract dust and grime which could lead to premature wear and failure of the seal.
does that really work? putting the seal on the piston and then putting the piston into the slot seems like the seal would just slide upwards
In my case it worked! 🥳 Thanks for the very good video! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
did the check engine light go off after the install ?
So there wasn't a check engine light to begin with. The car took exceedingly long time to warm up. I hooked it up to ISTA and saw the issues with thermostat.
Part numbers would have been really nice. Its difficult to find the exact parts from forums and online searches.
Worst video ever. Did not show anything really. We're does the rear shocker remove from? The boot or inside the car.
Good way to rip apart your chassis. Look at the contact patch from the seat rail. Now you have a contact area of a few mm, plus you have created a leaver with that extension as the chassis as the fulcrum. Not to mention what grade bolts are those extensions? So much wrong here on a component that is integral to your safety in the event of a crash.
CarGuy, I need some help. Is this a vinyl or cloth top? Video is too dark to tell. I recently bought a z4 for a project. Top is in good condition structurally, but has stains on drive side. Baseball size and elongated. Previous owner stated he thinks its from hydraulic fluid from when the top motor was removed. But I've tried cleaning it with dawn, a brush, water, and even a carpet shampooer. It's still there. Beginning to think it's not hydraulic fluid. Has more of a glue consistency. It's dry, hard, but in there good. What can I do?
That thing is outrageously expensive, got mad at a rattle and slapped it with my hand. Broke it instantly lol.
Great run! How’s the stability and handling at high speeds? I heard cus of the small wheelbase and rear suspension it can be unstable at the limit
Feels nice and planted. If you haven't noticed - this video is sped up. I had it out on a proper road course (that is considered one of the fastest tracks in US - Nelson Ledges) and had no issues. In fact, I logged similar lap times as in my E90 M3. I'm running RT660 rubber and H&R lowering springs.
25:00, rubber mallet ist not really the best idea. I aways spray the 8 rubber joints of the throttle bodys with silicon spay. This works a dream
