OK. Thanks

single bush 618110090 LH eyelet 610110020 20.85 RH eyelet 610110030 20.85 far better to press your new bush into your old eyelet. thanks Smithy!

Hello, I need to change my control arms and I ordered the Lemeforder ones from Eurocarparts, but I also need the lolipop bushings. If possible I would like to buy this: http://www.oscaro.com/media/BMP/zoom/101/21472.jpg but I don't know the correct description on Eurocarpart website (no pictures the...

this afternoon decided to put one of the e36 m3 legs on. Don't use them, you gonna mess the suspension geometry. I won't be able to explain why in detail in english, but it's impossible to keep a correct geometry suspension with e36 parts on an E30 without heavy modifications. Use M3e30, it's far b...

17 BBS RC? me too

, so it should be ET35.
I've got large spacers (20mm front and 25mm back) and I've no problem running them.

You should go this way safely.

PS: Do you have any pics of your car with the RC on?
Ãƒ”šÃ‚£450 for a set of BBS RC 17 is a very good bargain!

What is the ET of your wheels?
With correct Et, you're supposed to add 5mm spacers in some cases with coilover kits, so maybe you need bigger spacers if your ET is different.

how much did you pay your kit? is it the Koenig sport?

brettski wrote:has it been lowered and if so by how much?

The car is supposed to have the m-tech suspension, but I think even the coils are tired, or they've been changed for something else, as the car looks more -6cm front -4cm back.
I plan to fit a KW coilover kit the day I will be able to afford it

brettski wrote:looks very nice mate are those bbs rc wheels? i didn't realise they were available in a 4 stud pattern!

Yes they're 4stud BBS RC in "Motorsport Edition" finish.

Very clean car!

(but not fan of the wheels)

I also saw it first on r3vlimited. Very nice!

PS: if anyone want the same wheels, but in 4 lugs, check this:

are small case more noisy?
My large case 3.73lsd was a little noisy, but my 4.10lsd small case is very noisy (I feel i'm in a race car)

check this: http://www.strictlyeta.net/technical/328i_1.html

I've got a little problem (random one, not always) sometime, at the end of breaking (maybe half second before the car is not moving anymore) I heard a noise like dead pads on discs, except my pads are ok. Does anyone have an idea? I think maybe it's my front trailling arms silent bloc wich are tired...

So what?
It's cool to have a short diff

I changed my original 3.73lsd to 4.10lsd, and I've a huge difference in acceleration!
Best mod for $$$

It also could be a Sparco with an Hartge sticker.

Anyway, Sparco made theses bars for Hartge, so it's exactly the same.
(and they're still available new for about 150Eur in many shops who deal with Sparco products)

Try http://www.maxhydraulics.com/

I bought a hydraulic kit few years ago for my old VVW there, they're very kind.

I've got a blue one, I saw black ones, I've heard about brown ones, so what is the fourth color please?

Yes they're the same.

I mean, do I now need to buy something else to extend the centre of the hub so's I can put the little plastic shim- that fits inside the centre of the rim (read wheel)- over in order to properly fit the wheel and not have anymore shimmying ever again until I lose a weight off the wheel ever ?????? ...

mine is Macau and it's 1992

Ian, what are the size of your spacers?

(mine are a bit large: front 20mm, back 25mm)

Read this quite a few times.
Andy.

In this case, why BMW didn't simply put the battery there?
Strange.

I've got the same problem on my car, and I was thinking buying a coilover kit to get rid of it, but it cost so much

The weight on right side in the boot is present in all convertible.
Must be there for balance...

center hole must be 57,1mm for E30 (same like VW early Golf)

radback: You noticed a difference in acceleration? Was it much? After the 3.73, the 4.10 (both are LSD) make a sensible difference (more than a chip change) but of course my BMW didn't changed in a dragster. :lol: The car feels more nervous with a better response, lighter. This is a very good mod i...

My car was factory fitted with a 3.73 LSD, and I've just changed it for a 4.10 LSD.
Far better for accelerations

But not so good for fuel saving

Ps: my 4.10 is noisy too

Sorry for you

Be sure to check with some expert about price of repair before putting the car in parts. If only the front parts are damaged it won't cost too much to repair (but if there is structural problem then it's gonna cost a lot more)

Facelift convertible models are from 1991.

I'm sure it will be great!
Can't wait to see the finish result

Great post thanks

Very nice pictures mate!
Very good light! Paint looks gorgeous

Last pic could be in a BMW catalog
