Alright wrote you guys a little while ago and got some good answers but tons of things are going weird on my car so I'll just list what is there and hopefully you can help. Bear in mind I am in Fairbanks, Alaska and there is no one up here who knows how to work on a Z3. Its a 1997 2.8 Z3 just so you know. Alright, I blew the clutch in early July, they took it in got the BMW stock clutch and then told me my stock flywheel was bad and they reccomended the performance Bavarian one. They also told me I had an oxygen sensor out (which wasn't out before they got it) and so that needed to be replaced to. Seemed alright to me so they put it all in and now after I drive it around a bit when I go to neutral I get a nasty nasty rattle from the clutch unless I depress it or rev the engine. Sometimes its nonexistent but most the the time its all there and annoying me. The guys at Bavarian think my throwout bearing could be unbalanced or misaligned. So thats one thing. The car does not seem to be as close to as fast as it was and the engine is acting weird, for example when I first fire it up in the morning (and its not cold here yet) it will rev itself up then back down a little bit and then back up and down and so forth for about a minute before it settles down. Never had that happen before. And finally this little light came on the other day sandwiched between the ABS and brake fluid light. Its a red circle with 3 circular dashes on either side. Something with my brakes, but I can't find the manual so I'm not sure what it is. In any case if you read all of this and feel like giving me any input it would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance.
