E30 Zone

As already mentioned above VAG is the way to go

My 2005 Passat HL 130bhp (remapped to 170ish bhp) B5.5 returns close to 60mpg, done 7k in her and no issues

Very well built cars but they eat front suspension!

Also check for overheating/coolant loss and any other leaks?

Stevie, have you brought the bits yet and fitted them yet as I think they'll look mint

And are you fitting 2 spoilers?

Lighten up - we all like a jump in the morning

I'll get my coat!

No discernible difference in performance though .

At least it starts without a jump now.

You lucky git

Glad to hear it - it's surprising how many noticeable differences a new battery can make

Used to be a member for 2 years

Enjoyed the monthly mag and 10% discount from the local dealer who still thinks I'm a member, so still get the discount

Also pixels on the dash and mid can go but quite an easy fix if you don't mind doing a bit of drilling and can get the ribbons

As above but make sure the electrics are good and also check for front suspension issues and shimmy's around 55-70mph I've had 2 x 1996 523's in the past - 1 being a manual which was a bit of a shed and must have been ragged in it's early life as it had everything (nearly) go wrong with it and cost ...

I owned an E34 525tds a few years ago and managed to get 700 miles out of a tank - driving like a granny! I picked the car up for about £800, but must have spent about £1500-£2000 getting it fixed over the year of ownership - the engine just seemed to fall to bits :shock: Don't think I'd get another...

Cruise is gooood - only really if you're heading North of Preston

Nice, I like the wood trim and same colour combo as in my turd (apart from wood!)

Original BMW Business radio with CD Changer in the boot?

A wolf in sheeps clothing me thinks, de-badged

Not sure about the rear lights tho

Sorry car now sold to e30topless

Sorry no pics in the E30, I do know they fitted well. Apparently E46 ones fit better ?

I've had E36 ones in one of my E30's and I thought they fitted really well, thought they were E30 ones

As above, E36 Coupe seems the best, if you can get on there

10w40 semi working well in mine

The starting price is not steep compared to all the scrap and wronguns out there. if I was to criticise anything though, the spec looks very weak? OK it has AC but I always thought the big six (3.0 and 3.5) had Headlamp wash, Leather SE steering wheel, BBS and front armrests for a start. I may be w...

Nice find and looks in great nick

BTW - think I've got a tin of Boston Green in the garage (used but still some in) - pm me if you want it - just pay for postage

I am but can you post them a bit bigger

I really like that, looks lovely and at a bargain price - I might sell my current original 323 and get this one

Thanks a lot for the update Simon, it's a fist without the 3x3 seatbelts with 3 kids and in my current E36 (and previous E34s and E30s!) so this is a bonus and save using the wife's Pug 307 - the facelift E39 530 is next on my never ending list! I'm sure the 530 will get mid 30's on a run like my ol...

Nice looking car, always fancied a 530 facelifted E39 - local Indy says they're the best of the range!

Anyhoo - got 3 kids meself (8 years and younger) and was wondering if the rear centre seatbelt is still a lapbelt in this?

You need to go and have a look at this as the starting price seems a bit steep imo

I picked up a 323 last week from my local Indy with nearly 180k on the clock and you'd never think it's done that 8O Best E36 I've owned up to now as I don't really like them, and they've let me down in the past - but I really like this one tho. Anyway I'll be the third owner as it's originally a SA...

Take your time and be careful, the backing is proper sticky and you can easily ruin it

That actually looks really nice and lot better than most of the turds I've driven :D Anyway, there's still quite a few E34s out there so flog all the nice bits like the leather, wheels, clear/smoked lenses, obc etc and strip it as mentioned above - also if it is a nail then the engine will be a good...

Did you see the old Barge ?

Amen to that.... Used to cry every time I filled my 525 up

You wanna try owning an E38

I've had 2 M43'd Manual 518's and used them as dailys, cheap enough to run and insure, and could get around 550 miles from the tank.

Only sold the last one as I was bored with it

Great clip

No problems dealing with Jer, great to deal with and highly recommended

I also have one of these auto dimming mirrors on ebay at the mo

Have you tried interparcel.com ?

Used them loads of times over the passed few years and think I've only contacted them once when I've had an issue - and I got a speedy reply

BTW - used loads of couriers in the past so can recommend these
