good point but it isnt diesel, i either have to sell my car to buy a cheaper to run car or convert mine. it is an option though...

hi guys, does anybody know anything about this conversion? has it ever been done and is it even possible/ worth it. base car is a pre facelift 325i. thanks in advance.

hi this is usually a pain but if you use glue or any type of solvent dont touch anything inside the cluster cos fingerprints turn to white and are very hard to remove, good luck.

i once filled the flywheel inspection hole on a mk2 golf gearbox with 2 litres of gearbox oil...that then went all over the floor and made me swear, the clutch slipped for weeks

today's biggest balls up was getting out of bed it seems...

as of tuesday im in ibiza for a week, ive watched this topic and have made a note of your username so ill get back to you after the holiday. in the mean time if you could contact this guy and double check the seats are available that would be great. ill be in contact soon and hopefully this can all ...

Are you confident he still has the seats and hasnt sold them mate? i may be able to assist.

if i was ever beaten in a race by a french piece of cr*p i would probably either get out and torch my car in the street or crash and pretend my propshaft has snapped from all the torque, so far i have not had to do this...

i have done the bounce check, all seemed fine and under normal driving its quiet. im checking the prop tonight

hi everyone, another annoying development with the cab, when im accellerating (slowly or fast) and reach about 25mph i get a wierd knocking from the passengers side rear wheel area, it sounds like i have run over a section of rumble strip on the motorway, or 4 cats eyes, there are always 4 knocks fo...

can't fault paul, he got my short shift kit delivered within 24hrs of me ordering it, from cheltenham which is flooded, top bloke and excellent service!!!

Thanks

i had this problem, get a jack handle and a hammer, lower the glovebox right down and put the end of the jackhandle against the metal valve, turn heaters to hot and full and, starting gently hit the other end of the handle with a hammer, hit a bit harder but dont risk breaking it!! if the valve is b...

no problems ant, do you remember we spoke ages ago about this? we thought it was the piston rings at the time, it hasnt got any worse through use though...

how much are the chips? are they exchange? cheers mate

thaks matt, weve done a bit of investigation tonight, the smoke is grey and not blue, indicating its probably not oil (i think). The chicking happens whenever i bring the clutch up quickly, sorry i shouldve made that clearer :o: the pinking, clicking and smoking makes me wonder if: a the timing is o...

hi, ok i posted a thread on here a while ago about my 2.7 m30 that smokes when revved (sp) hard. it was kind of decided that it could be the piston rings. recently ive changed the head gasket and all the bores look perfect, a mechanic has backed up my view on them. by the way the engine is made up o...

brian, i hold my hands up! while the car has been loosing so much coolant i have topped it up with water so many times that there is probably no antifreeze in it at all apologies for the pics, but dad has lost the digital camera so its samsung power only im afraid, a faulty injector is a possibility...

bump, please help

hi guys, my car is a 1986 e30 cab pre-facelift loom, it was a 325i but i stuck a 2.7 in it winkeye it has been loosing alot of water recently, i knew the rad was leaking so i fitted a brand new one, HOWEVER, the problem continued, the coolant light would come on 10-15 miles after topping up! it neve...

crazy b@stard lol, if i wasnt paranoid about melting my zender kit idve fitted a flame kit long ago lol

i know this sounds stupid but i once spent ages doing this and it was because i had the starter wired up wrong if i remember, im sure you have done already but double check incase. good luck

dude you have to repair it... think about how it will feel if you let your pride and joy be broken and crushed for the sake af a few hundred quid, if necessary get down the scrapy and cut the roof off an old crappy e30. then you can look and see if it is possible and get a bit of practice if needs b...

good plan, might be tempted to half inch one from the pub this weekend

does anybody know where i can buy the spray co2 from? cheers

ill be a guinea pig if you like, i put a dent in my wing the other day, very stupidly slipped off a 4ft pry bar whilst undoing my ball joint and chinned my wing, still hurts now

. i will try it at the weekend or sooner if i can and get back to you all with before and after pics

ok ive recently noticed that my 325i convertible is really scrubbing out tyres on the insides at the back, it does sit a bit low, and its in the garage having the rear wheel bearing replaced at the moment but i wouldnt have thought that these would cause it? the tyres have worn from brand new to dea...

buy some meguiars trim detailer and put plenty on, repeat often and it should help

if it was 9.15 on a tuesday the chances are he was late for work. personally i would tell my boss i had *insert excuse here* and would be in late the next morning. get to the same road (but park up on opposite side for quick getaway) at about half 8 and wait! he'll come past without even thinking an...

no thanks mate, ive got a real one

cheers anyway

What lol, give me time my friend.

bugger. nickso what colour is your leather gear gaitor mate? if its grey then how much posted? cheers

bad(ish) news im afraid. i got the reg today and rang bmw dealership to inquire about it, they did a check and confirmed that its a 535i, wether its an M535i or not i havent a clue, i just know its not an m5 :cry: . so what sort of money do these make, i assume they are getting quite thin on the gro...

thats the plan

to be honest im not expecting it to be genuine, but id love it if it was lol. yes the kit was an optional extra according to the bmw m registry.

http://www.bmwmregistry.com/model_faq.php?id=7

what was the engine fitted in an M535i then?

worth looking in to, cheers mate

its a difficult one. i dont want to rob em completely blind if you know what i mean, as its previons owner is now dead and it would prob be his family who sell it to me. ill have to do some research and find out who to contact about it. if its too much money i will be posting its location on this fo...

ive just found one!!! :cool: cant be 100% sure its genuine yet but its badged up, full tech1 kit, and a twin exit centre mounted exhaust. I cant put pic up really cos i think i was trespassing but its sat in a yard full of old cars waiting to rust away, although it looks pretty tidy to be honest! sm...
