E30 Zone

I agree with the 325i owners.

The 320i engine just doesnt cut it in terms of performance. Has nothing below 4000rpm.

After driving a 2.5 you'd never go for a 2.0

As for the best sounding M20, its hands down the 323i

hehe, yeah it has been a while since ive been on here! Many of the parts on the car have come form the UK, lots of help from you guys as well, especially Ian332is

I had a front crossmember replaced because of cracks at an engine mount tab. E30 325i Cab

Yeah used to see it around the north shore, around St.Ives area

Don't put chrome wheels on it!!

As bad as chrome wheels are, they look worse on an E30!

Just keep it clean and drive it i reckon

I used to see this car all the time when i was living in Sydney. I knew it was US import because of the bumpers. Couldnt beleive that someone actually imported an E30 325e and converted it to RHD?!?! I'd leave it as it is. As strange as they look, they certainly are different, especially in our part...

Yeah its BMW E46 Black Sapphire

Its not a Genuine JPS, however I thought at the time those emblems looked the part with the Gold BBS RS's. I know the guy who owns the Original JPS E30 M3 racecar here in Australia and they came off that car

Im letting it go for $10,000 AUD (about 4,900 Pounds!)

Had this car for over 8 yrs and in that time have spent far too much money on it! Very hard to get all the parts on it locally and it has taken a long time to get it to the car it is today Time has come to let her go as I have a baby on the way and i simply dont drive it anymore Still love E30's, mi...

1 black and 1 red EVO III's here in Australia been converted to RHD

The guy owns 5 E30 M3's, all RHD!

Once you start track days you will find it hard to stop. cool shots. hope you beat that Vectra!

Ive got a 4 door e30 just waiting to be converted for the e30racing series. You seen that?

What a load of bollox

Here in Australia, all the E30 M3's that are coming into the country (especially fom Japan, lots with only 80,000kms on them) have to be converted to RHD

Fit an E36 M3 steering rack and you maintain the steering responce.

Hi fellow zoners, been in the dark for about the last 6 months and finally decided to hook up the internet. Here's a few quick pics of my car, hasn't changed a whole lot in that time, mainly just a few interior bits here and there. The BBS RS's r just about to be converted to 16in and im tempted to ...

DAMN!! I gotta get those fatter and polished lips!!

Looks hot

I guarantee that inlet manifold is a 325i. A 320i has small 'kinks' in those 6 silver runners while the 325i has them all smooth like the ones in the picture

Here's some x brace info

http://www.understeer.com/xbrace.shtml

heya, I can see a pic of the E36 M3 X brace. Is that the original BMW part? Does it really bolt straight onto an E30? I have an E30 convert as well and was wondering if this would fit!!

I know you have to install some nutserts but is that all you had to do???

My bet is that it was a 320i.

It couldn't have been a 318i because it has the check control.

Check the compliance plate or run the VIN through the decoder on the internet.

Looks very clean though, definetly been looked after.

Looks good, have you noticed any difference in the way the car drives/handles with the strut bar on?

Na, roof stays on in the summer, its too hot - need the A/C!

For the 9 other months of the year its roof off always

Im in Australia so it might be different, I had the seats done 'mates rates' - $1,300 AUD (about 550 pounds), Carpet was 200 pounds and I had to find the black trims, they were another 150 pound?

I just had my seats redone in Leather with suede inserts. Also changed my interior colour to Black from Beige, new grey carpet too. All that is missing now is the black vinyl part that goes behind the rear headrests (ex Germany) and I also need to finish off the front door trims. Very nice to sit in...

The black parts of the door card and the rear seat side panels, have they been retrimmed or are they stock? Reason i ask is that I have some black ones to go in however they are slightly marked. One trimmer told me it was difficult to retrim them as they are injection moulded form the factory or som...

U reckon? ? ? Why would it have a front mount intercooler

when i had a 4.27 diff in my otherwise stock 325i, old shape boxsters were no quicker. Boxster S for sure, but the hairdresser 2.5 ones were average for a porsche.

Sounds like fun. A Stock 325i can run with a stock Boxster (old shape)

Check out this link for an M30 turbo in an E30. Its terrorising Sydney Streets as we speak!

There is a kit for Coupe/Sedan and another for the convertible. Being in Australia, these M tech I kits are rare as. I picked up one for my car but it was for a coupe/sedan. The front and rear bars go straight on however I had to have the sideskirts modified to fit. It all turned out pretty nice. He...

good luck getting one from the US, their cars are LHD and the carpets are different.

thanks for ther kind words guys.

There's been alot of done recently. The M Tech I was prepped and sprayed and the side skirts had to be modified to fit the cab.

I've got a new interior going in soon, going to be black leather with suede inserts. Should look proper pimp

Just thought i'd take a few quick picks now the M Tech I kit is on :D http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v429/schmick325/DSC00420.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v429/schmick325/DSC00426.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v429/schmick325/DSC00421.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v429/sc...

man that's a pretty daft thing to do - could have killed someone or yourself

I just put a Tech I kit on my Cabrio. Had the chrome bumpers sprayed black too. Sideskirts are being sprayed right now, should be on the car soon (they have been modified to fit the Cab body) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v429/schmick325/CIMG0361.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v429/schmic...

You do know that a brand new 2.5 M20 engine produces 171bhp right?

your power figures seem right to me.

To get more power, you can either turbo/supercharge your engine or increase its displacement to 2.7 litres.

Its all limited by the size of your wallet

Thats crazy, around town I have got just 320 kms from a full tank. Thats about 210 miles.
