E30 Zone

tyres i would go for.
Yoko Parada Spec 2's - on the track slag and great in all conditions.
Bridgestone Protenza's - again another great tyre.

not my own experience but mate with a track prepped E30 M3, toyo Proxy R888's and he rates them very very highly even in the wet.

Thing things have already been covered, but on my track car (jointly owned with mate) we have done the following. Koni Adjustable suspension BMC Airbox induction Kit Chipped Custom Rear Exhaust Wilwood BBK When we RR'd it (prior to putting chip in) it achieved 147 BHP which we were well chuffed wit...

chap on another forums thats done a lot of retrims and such, but not sure how much a full retrim would cost on an e30, but his email is sales@bespokeleathering.com always worth asking.

He is based around the Birmingham Area.

Just recently got my iS chipped and i think its great, pulls so much better in all gears. one thing to note is that there are two types of chips for the iS that depends upon the engine. We initially got the wrong one, and made the car stutter at lower revs, stalling on round abouts and when driving ...

mad, for the money i would go for the 318is all day long, its a craking little motor, nice revvy engine, and such, but at the end of the day you get what you pay for. My mate recently sold his blk 318is for approx Ã‚£3k with 130k miles on the clock, but the car certainly didn't look or drive like a ...

If this is the carbon air box induction kit that you speak of then when it was r/r before and after on m car it lost torque and gained no horse power , thats my only dealings with them but that test was onn the same r/r on the same day about 15 mins apart . If it was r/r before the chip that means ...

The E36 M3 is a great car, and certainly is realiable, comfy and quick. as MikeKean has said its a 90's car, but for the money i think they offer outstanding value. Good ones are getting rare. to be honest i think too much is made of the EVO vanos issues, as i have only heard on two instances from m...

Driven one LHD car, and i found it a little difficult to begin with, but within 5 mins was pretty comfortable with it. Reversing in one is certainly an experience... but if your a confident driver you should be fine. I think i was a little to causous to begin with as the LHD car i was driving was a ...

depends on usage to be fair. 15 inch rims were std on the 318is. so the best overall. 16's nice, bigger rims look slightly better, little performace drop. 17's look better, but obviously you sacrifice some performace for looks. (have these fitted to the iS i co- own, these are the daily rims, have a...

i know a company that does LM reps, not sure if they have them in e30 fitment.
www.chromeline-design.com but you might need to e-mail him as i don't think everything he does is on his website.

Ones fitted to my 318is came from www.Chromeline-design.com cannot remeber price, but i can pretty much garuntee that his customer service is excellent, as is the Kit he provides (i think they are 3 year warrenty on them) you coould try ebay, but i've heard many horror stories from there, but hey th...

welcome to the iS owners club

awesome little car, and loads of fun

mate i personally would not mess with any alarm system myself, prefer to get an expert fit it, Clifford like all other alrams are olny as good as the fitter fitting it.

I've known too many cars that have fucked up after "non-qualified" people start fitting them.

Flush bonnets and boots can look ace, but please make sure that if you do it you get it done properly, as the last thing you want is filler cracking (i know from experience

)
I have been told it should be Lead filled so as to prevent cracking as time goes on.

i got HID's for the E30 and E36 from Chromeline-Design.com.

Simple enough install as my mates did them, one ballast box and Bulb, minor wiring i believe, but best of all 3/5 year warrenty on it all.

Right i'm lost here, as which ones which, i ask, because i assume the right (as u look at picture) is the xenon, and left is HID.... seems very strange to me, as i have HID's fitted to my e36 and the light given looks nothing like the left hand side light. Looks more like the llight given from the r...

the 323 is excellent (i'm biased as i own one) 170BHP out the box, but following mods mean lots more power Modified 325 manifold, (guy off e36coupe forum, usernames Alpina527 not sure if hes on this forum too) - Biggest difference to BHP BBTB (as above) - car lot smoother with it PRICES for above i ...

BMCare In Leeds, its in Pudsey very close to the Massive Asda & M&S. number is 01132 566 999 hth :cool: Cant believe I didnt think of that, I work at the Asda!!! Not sure about their work though....I aked on another forum a while ago but no-one seemed to know if they are much cop or not. my car (e3...

I'll put up a post on the e36 forum, see if they can help,

@pacerpete, nope not yet they haven't

Illegal simple as.
but so long as you dont take the piss the police seem to let it slide.

Dont think the z3 short shifter will fit into the e46 bmw. it does fit e36 328's.

I think www.Chromeline-design.com can sort out a shortshifter for the e46, but i reccomend calling them as the website does not show all the products they can supply.

for your budget you are going to be very restricted. i currenty own a stripped out 316 e30, and thats quick, been to the Nurburgring twice. around the bends its just awesome, just lacking straight line speed. This is a cheap car to run. (BTW its for sale) I also co-own a e30 318is, this is just as q...

Yoko parada Spec 2 tyres, funcky desing and good levels of grip in wt and dry conditions

great looking rims n splitters..... do post once caps are in! :wink: don't worry i will, also get some better quailty pics when i get my camera back off my mate. must admit mate they look sweet, love the splitter too mate Yeah i was unsure of the splitter to be fair to begin with, but my mate wante...

you should be fine as you got Hub centric spacers. would be worries if you had option one.

Looking cool man, one clean motor.

yup maybe, but the wheels are on now, they look great :cool: :cool: the cars running fine, no handling or ride issues. so i'm happy. Also @ pnd, how would proper sixed e30 Avez rims differ from those that are on there? @ Pal318is, yeah mate i got all the centre caps, but am waiting on some proper lo...

e36 is a great car, i have owened one for almost 3 years. but it all depends on what you want. I know co-own two e30's (stripped 316 & Modded 318is) and to be fair i much prefer my e36 most of the time. It is better build, more spacious, more comfortable, looks great when clean, and looks much bette...

The Rims are finally on the 318is
Think they look wkd.

takes about 30 minutes to fit if you know what you are doing.

[quote="iDreamBeemer"]Sebring back box, very nice burble, not too loud but expensive and I imagine you want full exhaust.[/quote]

to be fair i was actually only thinking about the back box.
but yeah sebring probably too expensive for us.

Right, my mate and i are basically considering changing the exhaust on the E30 318is track slag, but since you guys are the experts, i thought i would ask to see what you guys reccomended. We currently both run Scorpian Exhausts on our e36's (323 & 318is) and love the sound these make..... anyone go...

What color will the interior be, as this makes a big difference.
If light then go for a darker colour.
if dark go for a lighter colour.
