Where are you based in the north?

Hi All, I thought I'd add a few of my M3 cab, not red unfortunately LowLevel! With my mates RHD M3 coupe: http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg59/e30m3cab/DSC01316Small-1.jpg With loads of dead flies on the windscreen @ Gaydon: http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg59/e30m3cab/DSC01336Small-1.jpg Cru...

I have the same unit fitted to mine, however, the LED on the boot seems to stay on at all times and the 'key' doesn't seem to do anything at all. You're right Andrew, it's one ugly looking thing!! Just don't want to start welding, filling and painting otherwise it'd be out by now!

Cheers Andrew, got it, i'll have a read now.....

Thanks guys, it has a Clifford on it but just wondered how the original one worked.

Andrew, i can't seem to get onto that thread, it says "you are trying to access a restricted area"..

Could anyone tell me how the standard alarm (on a M3 cab) with the funny looking key is supposed to work and what the little LED at the back under the number plate is for and when it's supposed to be on? Thanks in advance, Aky.

So what do u reckon of the bilstein Toby? Group N? Must be quite a harsh ride??

the KW ones i was thinking of were:

...and you're right, they want mine in exchange.

Looking into height adjustable M3 suspension setup. Anybody have any experience with the KW Coilover Variant 1 setup?? Is it any good? Easy to fit and adjust?? Or any other's out there on the market that you might care to recommend?? It can't be more than the 800 squid mark..... budget (Mrs!!) won't...

I have a friend of mine who owns a car hifi shop and he's suggested that since no one ever really sits in the back of my car, we build a pair of 6" subs into the rear floor (behind the front seats). Effectively, from the outside you won't see anything, except a suspiciously shallow rear floor as th...

Kundiboy, is it 15W50 Silkolene that you use??

Cheers Guys, After talking to you guys and a few others I reckon 215-40-17 at the front and 245-35-17 at the back. Henry, I can't seem to find a 225-40 for the front, on mytyres.co.uk it says it's an incorrect size? I think they're available for 18's (like you've got) but not 17's.......... bummer!!...

cheers bruv i got four in total lol

FOUR!.... i'm GREEN with envy Bal!

I find it hard to get any work done with one.... wouldn't stand a chance with four!

Well done!

Nigel, let me know how it goes with the Institute of Corrosion, it'll be interesting to see of they agree with what Megapulse are saying....

My m3 cab seems to have an issue with the high speed fan fuse (no. 13 or 18 from memory). If the car's engine is running and i insert the fuse, the engine cut's out..... WTF!!!???? I only realised it was missing after reading a couple of posts on here alerting to me to the fact there are two fuses, ...

Look good Bal! How many E30's have you got!?!?!?!?

Hi Henry,

Thanks for your advice. Is there no way I get 245's on the front of the M3?

Ta,

Hi All, Hope you can be of some help. I bought a set of RC090's last year and I've not really bothered to look for any tyres as the car's in storage until the weather starts picking up. However, I'm struggling to make my mind up on what size tyres to go for. The wheels i have are not staggered as fa...

Not cos of i've got one (

), but i'd say Macau Blue cos it flips from grey to blue to a sort of almost purple when you catch it at different angles and then at night it just looks like it's black!

hummm...... the E30 M Power manual states... "The oil viscosity must always be SAE 14 w-40 / 15W50." So i take it 15W50 it is then...... As for brand, it goes on to say.... "BMW Motorsport GmbH recommends the use of Wintershall Viva 1 engine oil" What the flippin heck is that?? Maybe i'm being ignor...

Hella smoked headlights.... look amazing as i've just put them on mine....

Cool, will look up TWS too...

cheers Andrew/Fushion!

10W40 according to the mobile 1 website....

http://www.mobil1.com/USA-English/Motor ... x?option=2

In fact, anybody know what BMW recommend?

It's never really going to see the track i'm afraid as it's the hairdresser's version (convertible!).... as one of my mates puts it!!

So is 15W50 silkolene the best one to go for then??

1992 m3 215BHP version - what's the best oil to use? it's got 99k (miles) on it. Synthetic, Semi, Grade etc?

Thanks in advance,

Aky

Hi Toby, I've never actually heard a cab with small subs in the boot so not sure if it'll work??? Personally, i think they'd struggle to get the bass through the armour plating BMW call a back seat! Let me know how you get on cos it would be interesting to find out if it works, cos if it does, i mig...

Mine's electric but it doesn't have a handle in the back. As far as i know, if it's got a handle in the back, it's a manual hood.

Mine seems to creep upto just below three quarters but then it just sits there. I suspect it might be the thermostatis switch kicking in the fan too late. As for warm up time, I'd say mine takes about the same amount of time to get to that temperature.

Just one word......'Damn!'

You live and you learn! At least i'll get the other one right!

Hi Brian, thanks for your guidance, i managed to locate the pop rivets and drill them out, didn't want to cut the pipes as believe it or not, they actually work!! Anyway, got one of the smoked Hella's in and it looks fantastic! (see pic) http://www.augk61.dsl.pipex.com/e30/images/hella.jpg Just gott...

Sorry, forgot to say, I have an 1992 e30 m3 convertible.

Hi, i was wondering if someone could tell me how the hydraulic headlight adjuster is removed as I'm changing me headlights for the smoked hella ones and for the life of me can't figure how to remove the adjusters so i can take the lights out? Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks, Aky.
