E30 Zone

I have recently had my clutch and flywheel replaced (finally that judder is gone! 8) ). Since the repair my E30 started to misfire in heavy rain. It only happens when I drive through heavy spray (for example driving behind a truck). When it happens, there is no power and the rev counter drops and ju...

I had the exact same problems with my 325 convertible. It turned out to be the lead to cylinder 5, which was totally busted at the sparkplug-connector. I went to a BMW specialist, who found the problem by using the original diagnosis equipment (a huge enclosure with CRT screens :cool: ). It measured...

Here are two pics of my cabby boot install :) http://www.originalbmw.com/pictures/cabrioshoot06.jpg http://www.originalbmw.com/pictures/cabrioshoot07.jpg The 10" sub just fits under the roof-box. The sub-enclosure is using the entire width of the boot (it continues behind the amp). I think this will...

Yep, worked fine for me too... Putting it back in wasn't so hard either, especially since I had an extra pair of hands helping me (doing it alone will be more difficult I think...)

@Z3I, did you succeed? Which method did you use?

@Chris-W, do you mean the slider in the middle of this picture will slip out of the rail attached to the window?

I need to get the window out too, to replace the window guide rail in the rear of the door

I have a similar problem to this recent topic but the difference is that it occurs only to one window. Short recap: Drivers side front window only works with open door (ignition ON) All other windows work fine Electric mirror and central locking in drivers door also work fine I have not checked the ...

Ok, here's the pic from the E30 options brochure, guys

What I meant was that the 316(i) was the only E30 that didn't come with a rev counter as standard (at least not here in Holland). Obviously you could order the rev counter as an option.

There are 4 different dials:

- Big clock (only in the 316)
- Rev counter with economy gauge (318 to 325)
- Rev counter with oil temp (M3)
- Rev counter *without* economy gauge

(I think this was an option for the 316!! I can post a pic later)

Thanks guys!

I got the bumperstrips from Ebay.de, they are the original ones as used in the US. The lights are not 'recessed' though as on the E34, they lie on top of the strips, but it looks really neat and 'OEM' anyway!

Here a close-up pic:

Just need some 15" x-spokes to finish it off

Small update: Just added 15" BBS rims and US sidemarkers

With a hammer??

Explain please!!

What's the best/easyest way to remove the original tweeters from the tweeter pods (mirror triangles)? I would like to replace them with my JBL tweeters but the original ones are glued into the pods.

Sure man, dj_raoul@hotmail.com

To change the dial bulbs you need to completely remove the instrument cluster from the dash and you can pop them out from the back side (3 Watt max!!).

From there you can open the cluster and get to the dials

The E30 gauges are lighted from the front so the light doesn't need to get through...

Might be the 325e?

Wonder how they light the needles though...

I have AtÃƒÆ’Ã‚© Powerdiscs with Pagids, they brake perfect

*LOL* I'm not a native English speaker so maybe I say something wrong sometimes http://www.e30zone.co.uk/modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_redface.gif :D If you have other relays with the same specs I think you can just change them and see if your fogs are working again 8) (as long as you don't take...

I have just checked it for you. I pulled out the relay (K8) and the dash light wasn't lighting up anymore. So it might well be your relay!

Hmmm ok thx for your input guys... Though I'm really not sure now anymore heheheh... Guess I'll just have to find out myself and try it...

I wont drive 125 too often, but 85-90 will occur quite often as cruise speed... Will it feel very light at those speeds?

They can ship from Germany to The Netherlands, so probably also to your place!

I kind of already decided to have powersteering retrofitted in my 316. It is the only thing I really miss in the comparison with more 'modern' cars. It just drives so much more 'relaxed'... But I just read a post with someone who had the powersteering replaced for a manual rack 8O Is the steering-pr...

Nice car mate!

What difference is there between the normal 14" alloys and the 15" BBS?

Wow how can they fit those for just 50 pounds... I thought this job took a lot of time

I'd prefer the original E30 3rd brakelight in the parcel shelf

what are these... http://img171.exs.cx/img171/2011/941b2ax.jpg 15" wheels originally from the E21 3-series... People like to use these on track E30's as they are quite strong and their ET value makes them come 'wider' out of the body. Don't really like the other wheels though http://www.e30zone.co....

LOL

Nice cherished plates

Hi Mr. Lee, thanks for your reply, but those are not the lights I'm looking for. I also would like to have the 'continuous' lights in the indicator units, but I'm afraid that's not allowed here in NL. What I was talking about are the small lights on the sides of the car. I'm trying to find the bumpe...

Compo speakers are a lot better than 'coaxial' speakers. They have a separate tweeter, so you can place it better (directed to your ears rather than your legs or smth). Compo speakers also have an external filter so they separate the sound better between tweeter and woofer. So all in all compo speak...

Is it possible to retrofit US sidelights in my Euro-spec bumpers? I think the Euro bumpers have separate 'inserts' on the side (not sure how the E30 bumper is constructed though http://www.e30zone.co.uk/modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_redface.gif ). So are those inserts available with holes for th...

Heheheh yes my car didn't have a rev counter when I bought it, just that big silly clock next to the tacho :lol: I will get a new centre console soon with OBC1... Alpina's would look great jeah, and the BBS X-spokes too... Not sure wich of the 2 I will choose... (Big Alpinas are maybe a bit too 'spo...

Nothing special http://www.e30zone.co.uk/modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_redface.gif just a small update with some fresh new images... Now with the rear headrests, sunscreen en Sebring... and some minor cosmetic improvements... (Also a secret attempt to make it into the "Members E30's" section...)...

Sweet car!

Does it have the 'USA-style' driving lights in the front indicators? I'm thinking about converting my front indicators but I'm not sure if the US cars had this... Thx!

Aahhh that makes it a lot clearer, thanks!
