E30 Zone

hi, im thinking of replacing most of the rubber bushes on my e30 along with a few other parts such as wisbones and suspension top mounts to make it feel newish again. am i right in thinking that i can use M3 bushes all round? if so how will this effect ride comfort and handeling compared to standard...

ah that's good, cheers mate!

Hi, im thinking of doing a rear brake disk conversion on my 320i and i know that the trailing arms need to be swapped. i just want to know if i need to use different drive shafts also ? will the 320i drive shafts fit in the new hubs ?
cheers

just wondering which E30s came with ABS, and can a ABS system be installed on an E30 without ABS easily. is it expensive ? has anyone ever done it ? whats involved ?

ok ill have to check that out, is the coupling easy/cheap to fix ?

im getting a severe vibration when driving, it feels like its coming from the back, most of it goes away when im breaking or accelerating and it completely goes away when i turn left around a bend and all the weight is shifted over to the right and it is at its worst when i turn right and all the we...

ok so 325i exhaust it is then. cheers mate

i currently have a 320i and i wana buy a full exhaust system for it, but i know that i will be doing an engine swap in the future for a 2.5. so could i put an exhaust for a 325 on my 320 so that i dont have to buy another when the 2.5 goes in (hopefully) sometime in the future ?? will it reduce perf...

hi, just wanted to know if there is such thing as a 318is cab, i have seen them before but only when someones done a conversion. im looking to buy one, is there anything i should look out for, i have had an e30 before but it was a saloon, is there anything different i should look for ? any common ar...

im thinking of a doin a conversion from an 316i m40 engine to somthing else, the m10 engine sounds good, what could i do to it tuning wise ? im thinking to go for a 318 m10 coz im only 18 and i think insurance wont be that different to what im payin now

thanks for that mate

i saw a post on here quite a while back about how the older 325i m20 had high compression ratio than the newer m20 and it said hw you could tell which m20 had the high compression, i cnt find the thread does anyone know what it was called ?

ye im planing to swap engines but i want to experiment with this engine coz im only 18

ye i know of them and have been there a few time, they charge alot but they know what they are doing

is this issue of total bmw still on sale ?

wow your so funny, dont get jealous coz my 316i is quicker than ur banger

has anybody tried one ? what are they like ? and also where could i get one
thanks

thanks toby i understand now :x , im looking to build one slowly as a project. if i used the 325i head and piston method i assume that i would get abit more power because of the larger valves, however is the power difference from taking this route rather than using eta pistons and 320i head worth th...

maxfield how can you tell that is not a real m3 ? or do you just know thats its not real ?

what kind of problems would using a 325i head instead of a 320i head bring up ?

how comes its better to use a 320i head for this conversion ? and would it be better to use eta crank pistons and rods in a 325 block or leave them in a 525e block ? also if i have eta pistons that have just come out of a 525e thats done around 100k is there any need to change pistons rings and bige...

cheers mate, is ther anyone else that can help ?

hi, ive got a few questions about a few things so if anyone could help id appreciate it :) firstly is there much difference in weight between a 4dr shell and a 2dr shell ? and is the 2dr shell much more stiffer that you would notice it alot ? and also does anyone know what size the drain plug is on ...

done !!

so if i put a diff from a touring 316i or a 318i ill have betta acceleration ?

ye i thought so, how about a 318is diff ? do you no the ratio for that ?

hi, my diff has been leaking quite badly recently and i was told that it would be better to change the hole diff insted if replacing the seals which is where it is leaking from, does anybody know if it would be better to use a diff from another car for example an 318i or 320i or somthing insted of a...

hi, doeas anyone know how much ampage a 525i alternator gives out because ive found that they will fit onto an m40 engine, all you need to do is swap the pulleys and it will bolt straight on.
