Thanks for making these videos man! I probably wouldn’t have tackled the job without these being available, I’m about halfway through disassembly, videos like this make all the difference! (Only hiccup for any roadster owners, you do have to separate the brake line, where the hard line attached to the TA meets the soft line at the chassis) Hope your Z3 is still bringing you joy ! 🤙🏻
I am watching all your videos. Great tutorials. I am swapping in Z3 M Coupe rear end parts into my 1999 Z3 Coupe. I want to be able to run 18 x 10 wheels, and the standard wide body coupes don’t have the narrow rear axles that the M Coupes had. I also want the lower gearing that the M’s had.
@@andrewhkim gotcha. I'm dealing with some bad negative camber eating up my rear tires on Z3. All stock, not lowered. People keep saying its my bushings but they look fine when the car is on a lift, no play, or metal on metal ect. Really wondering to dive in and replace them just as a hopful last resort.
Great videos by the way, however I wanted to ask what is the 1 inch long thing that you’ve put on the bar, I can’t quite make out what that is. I’ve bought the bar as I’m going to be doing the subframe bushes. Thank you.
Great video series! Question: How did you determine that you needed to change front/rear bushings, was this based on age/mileage of the vehicle or some noises you encountered? Thanks
@@andrewhkim Thanks makes sense going for the Poly SFBs, I’ve had my M Roadster for 20yrs with 55k miles and I’m starting into hear a sound that may be front LCA bushing related, but need to verify. I’ve enjoyed your videos they are very informative with great instructional value.

My Z3 is collecting dust! (Newborn 👶🏻)

The original bushings you pulled out looked fine? What was the issue of them needing to be replaced?
While I was in there kinda thing. I forgot the left one was replaced after an accident. Was surprised to find them in good condition

They’re called “coupling nuts”. Just a long nut meant to join two rods together. Good luck on the bushings!
@@andrewhkim 👍🏿

Mainly based on age/mileage. I put on about 65k miles myself and figured it needed to be done. Plus I wanted to switch to poly SFBs anyway.
