Does this helps at all? If not, try your VIN & see what that brings up.

I had an oil temp gauge bulb done at my indi for no charge! My advise is find a good honest indi who values your custom. You show him loyalty and you will be rewarded with excellend customer service................if you chose a good one. I am sure someone on here would be able to advise you of a trusted local specialist.

I think I paid 20 quid at a main dealer for one to be changed yonks ago.

A few bits of trim need to be removed to access those gauges, but a professional mechanic familar with the Z3s should be able to whip those off (cleanly) in 5 mins, change the bulb and then refit the trim.
