I. Hear clicking noise from relay box on my BMW Z3 when engine is switched off off

hyjacker and oP both./ no year told, wow. no country told in the USA we have EVAP 3, systems test s that even run as we sleep.! but does not repeat, key off. 1 time yes. key off. or delayed as the PCM waits for fuel to cool off. (tank pressure tests it does,by law here USA) if really curios find the source of the noise under hood, under dash, under at gas tank(evap parts) use long cardboard tub to an ear and find it. this is not hard to do. find the source first then ask why it makes noise. and get real answers, 3000 parts on car gee. or pull fuses when it makes noise. you didnt say aftermarket ALARMS with shake switch horror ! or other wild car hacks , remote starter man killler. key off , noise is very small list of things key off . we are deaf here so all I can say is learn to find noise even making home made tools or a $5 mech stethoscope. (I have and electronics one with 4 microphones your noise is easy find,car parked, be happy it does not happen only moving car, those can be dangerous to find, lacking my tools or ask tech to find the noise. what else is there?, nada got other hacks, like REMOTE START BOX> we can't guess why any car or machine makes noise!!! ever. only how to do the tests. what stops you, IDK.

My electronic immobilizer fuse (38) on my 1997 BMW Z3 kept blowing. I kept replacing it but now it won't crank and the fuse isn't blowing.

Fuses shouldn't keep blowing and that was the cue to get it looked at. You either need to get it towed to the dealership, or contact a mobile auto-electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer to diagnose the electronics. This is not the type of issue you can fix yourself unless you spend $3.5k to $5k on a bi-directional scanner.

Does 97 bmw z 3 have positive or negative ground

Negative, like every other modern vehicle. It's only some old classics from before the late 1960's which use positive grounding.

EML light went on. What is this?

Engine Management Light, same as a Check Engine Light... simply means a sensor component on your vehicle is malfunctioning You'll need to have someone with a tester to run diagnostics and retrieve codes to find exactly what the culprit is. Don't be surprised if it's the Throttle Positioning Sensor (TPS), common problem on BMWs

On my BMW 2000 Z3 2.3 I have a tear rear window which is of clear plastic with the zipper and I like to change just the clear plastic window because the top is still very good. Where can I find t

The expensive option is to go to a BMW dealership. The cheaper option is to look for specialist BMW breakers and dismantlers. According to google there are some near you. You could also try online auction sites like eBay.

Manual transmission hard to shift in first and reverse

Now assuming all the parts were correctly installed and the proper parts, are you sure the clutch fluid was bled properly? if there is even a bubble of air in there the clutch wont 100% disengage and cause more issues in 1st/rev. Some clutch systems need to be bled in a specific way and may not be as simple as others.
