KeithAndrew 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2006 (edited) :Bad Design: Has anyone else had a problem with the wiring loom wearing through where the boot hinge is rubbing on the loom between the two rubber grommets on their Z3 ? Although it a 1999 car its only done 33000kms so the boot hasnt been used very much.I discovered this when I found the light in the boot not working and the central locking blew the fuse. On close inspection there was a small hole in the outside sheath so when I had a closer look after freeing the cable from the plastic retainer 4 of the seven or eight wires were broken due to a part of the hinge rubbing on the cable.
