E30 Zone

fookin hell bargain! £1.20! haha.. im impressed! wonder what the sellers face was like when you turned up to pick it up!

Cheers for the advice lads.. scouring autotrader as i type this! Hopefully a bit more easy on the fuel on my daily commute than the 325

Just sold my 325i E30.. and fancy a change/something newer for the time being.. considering an E36 318ti, actually gonna go have a look at a few.. Are they any good? Gonna be using it as a daily driver with a few choice mods (mtech kit,coilovers and style 5's if they fit) Anything i should look out ...

right.. ill take it down me mates garage tomorrow and give it a strip down and investigate.. cheers for that mate. sounds like this is gonna be a pain in the ass to repair

Looks like my sports seat backrest has busted, got a constant badboy lean position and wont lift upright and stay on ratchet.. strange thing is when i attempt to lift into upright position the bolster flexes like the base is broken... i have circled a generic picture below to show where.. Question i...

Yeah, standard exhaust.. will check this when home from work. Also did another thorough search on here for similar problems, apparently boot seal can be a casue of leak due to wind swirl behind the car as it drives.. so will check the rear of car for any small holes tonight too..

Fingers crossed!

Got a bit of an strange one i cant put my finger on with my 325i.. When moving along with the windows or the sunroof open im getting a very strong smell of exhaust fumes in the car.. It seems as though the fumes are being dragged in by the negative pressure in the car with the windows open whilst mo...

I repaired mine especially.. still a bit of scabbyness going on i hope to cure before the meet

Bout time i showed my mug... and now i cured the rotten rear arch about time to show it off a lil. so.. 1) Paul aka The Diddler - Confirmed 2) Alan aka Blackcountrybimmerman - confirmed 3) Rav 335uk - Confirmed 4) leeparkes - Confirmed 5) Twallwood 6) Reggiebaby 7) bmwsport 8 ) woz6 - Confirmed 9) I...

Over the last week or so ive cured the steering issues and done a few hundred miles on my new battery... and still have a dodgy idle once warm and now it has even started to stall on me when parking and using full lock... Im possibly thinking it could now be a faulty TPS? anyobody had similar issues...

My Headlining is in a right state, someone tried installing a new one and gave up before i bought the car. Depending what model you have it differs but for a coupe like me its a rear window and rear screen out job. i.e. freakin nightmare if you dont know what your doing. I need to replace my rear sc...

I did this the other week, its pretty simple... if i can do it anyone can :wink: Jack up the car and place on axle stands. Remove Cap on PAS fluid Reservior. Undo Banjos and drain fluid from system (turning wheels several times to empty rack of fluid) Unbolt Pump, remove. Check belt for wear. Replac...

Now im not usually a fan of the tech2 kit (prepare to get flamed here) as i prefer the IS look.

But that looks damn nice! The RS's compliment the car very well and looks like a very tidy example of a sport too.

Ola Sergio! 2 very nice cars you have there...

Which part of Portugal are you from? Ive been over to Porto/Coimbra/Figueira Da Foz a few times over the last year.

Pump on, fluid, filled, bled, flushed, refilled, bled. Still a bit odd as im only getting about 0.7l out of the system when draining it. :? Took for a test drive.. heavy steering cured so far. guessing my rack is a little suspect though. so maybe time for that long awaited z3 rack shortly. but this ...

Nice one Brian just about to get to work on it. The idle does make sense now you put it like that.. Just the mystery to solve of where the 1l of fluid has dissapeared too and why much didnt come out of the rack once the lines were disconnected and the steering wheel turned. If it is the rack ill def...

Cant beat working on your car on christmas day.. :mad: Got up this morning, opened me presents then got to work on the car about mid day. Removed PAS pipes from pump and drained the pump, reservoir and with a few turns of the steering wheel the rack. roughly 0.7litres of fluid came out... hmmm inter...

Absolute legend.

Packed up and shipped out the PAS pump in no time at all. Delivered a whole 24 hrs before it should of arrived. Packed well and just what i was after. A credit to the zone.

Big up to eko once again.. arrived home this evening and neighbour popped round with a parcel which put a smile right on my face. massive thanks to eko tho, packing up and sending out the pump sharpish and dhl delivering it a whole 24hrs before it should of arrived... looking forward to fitting this...

haha.. all good here fella! Ill keep my eyes out for an e30 with working rear lights when i next pass thru dudley

Another black country person here too...

eko to the rescue.. Top man!

It is the standard location for 325i coupe i believe. Helps with balance of the car for handling shifting some of that heavy weight into the rear of the car.

Been an intersting week with the 325 this week. First the battery dies from a serious dose of winter. So i replaced that with a new one (kindly supplied for fook all by my friend who works for the stealers. result!) Then whilst out driving last night pulling upto some traffic lights i noticed the id...

Qualoty film, watched it so many times ive lost count.. so many quality quotes in it. Shooting sheep with a 9mm for sunday lunch... classic

Nice one mate... cheers for heads up

Can anyone recommend a good HID kit? looking into doing this soon

Ill be looking for the same soon on my saloon (2 door coupe) heard its a ball ache job though on that front and rear screens out

Heres a few pics they managed to get this weekend, so i thought id pop them up. http://media.driftworks.com/Phil/Ring/88.jpg http://media.driftworks.com/Phil/Ring/1.jpg http://media.driftworks.com/Phil/Ring/96.jpg http://media.driftworks.com/Phil/e46/E463.jpg http://media.driftworks.com/Phil/Ring/Pa...

whoa £1200 is a bit extreme!

a few hundred quid aint too bad though... will get on the case for some quotes this week and let you know how i get on.

Any local zoners near Birmingham recommend anywhere decent?

Whilst having a look over the car yesterday i noticed the tin worm has invaded the rear arch and sill of my offside/drivers side. So ive ordered myself a new sill and arch repair panel. Question is... whats a rough going rate for having these welded in place? Will have a search around locally for a ...

hmmm could be very tempted (thanks for the pm OBs

) my cars so low though its a case of risk management.. The IS Lip already scrapes on EVERYTHING as it is

fook me thats clean... very very nice example you got there mate.

Whats the extra lip fitted to the IS lip...? looks the tits that..

Not too far away at all...

its good for passing time at work watching that... you see some nice cars and the odd exotic and rare beasty... post your finds
