E30 Zone

right i've been driving my 325i auto for about 6months now and notice that the auto with the 3.64lsd only turns 2600rpm at 70mph. this leads to a little bit of a strange phenomenon being that if i run the car closer to 80mph the fuel consumption is better then at 70 as the engine is turning 2900rpm ...

there's a few sizes, return looks like 7m ID. feed from the filter in 8mm ID. i guess the one from the tank to the hardline is 12mm ID is it.

Does anyone know how much of what size fuel hose i need to replace the soft lines on my 87 325i

there's a couple just need to know how to search. It's weird being a board that doesn't have a no ebay link posting rule. the old volvo board i'm a morderator on has this policy as peop............. ahh found it EBAY: Unless you're the seller, its usually not good conduct to broadcast great finds on...

it wasn't only 325i sport that had them (yes they had standard). but as with any car of this type they had an options catalogue. my 87 325i SE Auto has one in 3.64 ratio along with AC and sun blind, OBC etc

more then likely. same reason why different fuel senders give different readings on different gauges. say the early OBC is set to work with 200-2000ohms and the later sender is 2000-5000ohms then the reading will be all wrong. not sure exactly what the ranges are on both temp senders those are just ...

it appears that the early ones are all black with a long cable attached, while the later ones have a plug into the body. not sure if the resistance ranges are the same.

thanks, i think I've found it. kinda looks like it could of been a snapped screw poking out of a hole under the screw that holds the bumper in place. I'll try and get it out and see if the connections are bad and maybe redo them. supposedly these things are supposed to have a lifetime use out of the...

where is it on pre-lift cars. mine doesn't work and makes a gong when i turn the car on. need to find it before i get a sensor to replace it.

My wife found me a full set of 5 15" cross spokes with all alloy center caps. 2 nearly new eagle F1's, 2x4mm nankings and a new mich on the spare. pretty clean front and back with no curbing i can see. http://www.mikeandminniehardy.co.uk/bmw/new-wheels01.jpg http://www.mikeandminniehardy.co.uk/bmw/n...

no interest in solids. it's a day to day car. some of my buddies in the US have the ireland engineering ones in there volvo 240 turbos' which appear to work well even with high power loads.

might just get some from GSF on the cheap.

Soo what can be used.

ploy source?
E36 hydro?

Being able to see counter acts such issues. everything else will be left as it is.

PS and at least they match.

I saw an Black 89 at work the other day. pretty shabby, one smiley and one 88 non-smiley projector.

lights arrived today at quarter to three, had to alter a bit of wiring but had them done my 4pm. Pre-facelift lights use a common ground for the sidelight and dipped beam while the smiley's use separate ones, main beam just plugs in. so to get them working i had to cut the 3 wire plug off my car loo...

not in an E30 but i did a 400mile round trip to pick up some volvo BBS 18x8 split rim wheels which i got off ebay for Ã‚£155 and sold for Ã‚£620 on ebay 2 weeks later.

so have any of you heard of http://www.enem.se/ i only know of them as they have pretty nice Volvo cams which some of use have had in the past, but they also do some E30 cams cams come in both NA and turbo versions (different LSA) they have a mild'ish 2500-6500 cam and a nutter 3000-7500 one too. PS...

the 50 looks nicely at home in there.

haha small world.

Well the lights will be on there way to me soon. decent price and wires and plugs included for installing in my pre-facelifted car.

Wheel wise all I'm after is some BBS cross's for the right money but i tend to watch eBay and wait patiently (how i got the car actually) I would like some Koni inserts for the front struts so that they match the back but lowering springs are not on my list. bad suspension geometry from lowering (ie...

that is something i would like to do. the Auto's ok but it had caught me out once with kick down to 1st around a bend in the wet. but it shifts fine and goes ok, 2nd gear runs out just after 80mph. i thought a 3.91 or 4.1 diff would be nice if i kept the auto. doesn't have to be LSD (would make some...

that looks really good, i've replaced my rear bulbs with white 9 LED units 44mm long as one had gone and nearly melted the housing with it, LED's should be cooler. would like the same thing at the front and blanked out thing looks about the right size. this is how it looks at moment. http://www.mike...

i'm actually partial to the interior, it's very clean and tidy and unusually the drivers seat as little to no wear on it.

well Newer headlights are my next thing,

old ones look orginal and are all foggy inside. so some smiley's will be bought and installed ASAP.

basically to improve the weight distribution closer to a 50/50 split. they were designed as a bit of a drivers cars which is also why the fuel tank is in front of the rear axle, this means that as it empty's it doesn't upset the handling as much as cars which had it hanging out the back (my old volv...

Hello there folks. i'm mike. bought myself a 1987 325i SE this summer from an old guy's family, he owned it from new. good price, lots of documented history, only 96k on it with all mots from 3 years past new. 1987 325i Se automatic (sports) LSD Rear sunblind AC (not cold at the moment) electric eve...

i've seen them on ebay

does it come on with the interior lights when the door opens

Mtec 2 sport (coupe) in the boot! Tourer under the bonnet From what I've seen the rear interior space in a 2 door E30 is the same as a 4 door. therefore it's not a coupe, it's a 2 door saloon (sorry for demolishing wilding accepted concepts.) but anyway, my 1987 325i SE auto along with a few other ...

Seriously, do they have one. mine doesn't but it does have a rectangular blanking plate near the sunroof front. seems odd to only have them in the back.

is AC that rare? my chrome bumber 325i i picked up this summer has it. needs looking at soon as i'd like it working this summer or if i sell the car.

tis soooooo ugly, which is odd for these.

i so need the seats to put my 325 though.

87 325i auto (computer box not cable controlled) Cruising at 60 it's running about 40-45mpg. at 70-75 it's doing between 30-35mpg. around town low 20's below 60 it's not any better really as the computer unlocks the torque converter around 52mph and by then with the 3.64 ratio it's fallen out of the...

looking at this reminds me to get the AC in my 87 325i recharged for next summer.

put the new stat in yesterday, warmed the engine up, bleed the system, ran some more and rebled to make sure.

went out today engine was out of the cold section in less then half mile then up just under half on the way past the house on the way to the cinema where is stayed regardless of heater use.

tonight on the way home is didn't even get out of the blue mark,

deff sounds like sticky thermostat.
