E30 Zone

I know this is an old thread but to anyone else considering the same, having had more than my fair share of crank position sensor issues over the last 10 years with mine I would categorically recommend you stick with original BMW, yes it might cost three times (or more) than a cheap one but cheap se...

Saw you in town last Friday in the white peril, I had one of these with the M50 (remember the old white 525i Sport with the really wide Rondel alloys that used to park by Bellozanne for years? now in pieces at Sam's yard) Got to love an E34, the quality of the interior is really good, definately a s...

Just remember to check the gas strut is safely tucked away when re-fitting otherwise you'll end up putting a big dink in your newly fitted bonnet, like I might have done recently, ahem

Would you have a RH window seal/channel for a 2-door? It's the one that runs around the window frame that the window slides up and down in.

Can I do the newspaper test at idle? I thought there was an issue like something to do with airflow temperature over the thermal part of the viscous coupling in that doing it idle wouldn't make the clutch in the coupling behave in the same way as if the car was moving? Or am I talking horse-shit and...

Gents, is it wise to only use genuine BMW thermostats? are cheap thermostats known to be iffy? I've fitted a Circoli thermostat and I'm thinking it's playing up already, my '88 325i Sport was overheating when idling, a new thermostat and properly bleeding it appeared to completely cure it for a shor...

I've been watching this car for at least 12 years, the woman who owned it should have sold it to one of the dozens of people who have made her quite sensible offers for it over the years, instead, she thought it was worth something ridiculous so let it fester and waste away only to end up being writ...

What are the 2.6 190's like? I know someone who had a 2.0 one, but don't know much about the 2.6's Thirsty but oh my, smoother than Roger Moore in a cashmere cod-piece standing in a barrel of Molyslip, superbly smooth! I had a Lexus LS400 soon after and I think the Merc was smoother, actually wish ...

Jesus

I remember pricing a tech-2 wheel up at £180 at a dealer years ago, wish I'd bought one at that price!

Cheers.

Just debating whether or not to sell my Alpina three spoke steering wheel, without the comedy 'I'll give you 58p and a packet of Wotsits' type answers I'm wondering what to ask for it, I bought it from BMW brand new a few years back but wanted to save it for that day (if it ever comes) when I have m...

Very nice, love the colour, definately my favourite E30 colour that.

Aha! excellent, thanks Brian.

Hi, I've tried searching but only seem to find answers for four-pot cars and I'm not sure if they're the same in this regard, I have an '88 325i, can somebody confirm which heater hose goes onto which heater pipe at the bulkhead? the BMW parts computer shows that the inlet hose that goes from the th...

Nope

I appear to have acquired another Diamond-Schwartz Sport, well for £100 I thought it'd be rude not to! 8O :D http://i674.photobucket.com/albums/vv110/jerseypockets/New%20E30%20Sport/D0D509BF-D17E-4F73-82B8-0D9F073A479F-78003-000045FF4DB12CBF_zps664883fb.jpg http://i674.photobucket.com/albums/vv110/j...

Yeah I remember that! let me get my grey matter working and I'll let you know, I remember the everyday cars they had.

Could I have the price and availability of the following part numbers please:

25111221613

25111221510

Many thanks!

Did you buy this off a chap called Paul? I got him the Sony head unit.

I love this car and have always wanted a silver 325i touring but the auto box put me right off.

Chuck Norris once had to ask him for help with his E30

Very good at massage...ah hang on, wrong forum Mick sorry.

Top work, most pleased with that purchase, would buy from again for sure.

Thanks.

Just sold my i.s that had an LSD but as mentioned it was an optional extra not standard equipment.

I have this if its any use -

Hmmm I took that pic!

good job done there though.

There was a thread recently about this, I've just bought the CTEK MXS 5.0 which is the replacement for the X3600 and a bit better (I need to do everything from motorbike batteries to large car batteries) so it depens what you want really, however it should mean that the X3600 should be slightly chea...

The model code is stamped on the rear of one of the spokes

Love this pic!

As said, nice selection of toys there and nice work!

Period momo effort

Can you tell me what model that is, I have the four spoke version of that by the looks of it.

is it sad that I have all of the steering wheels in this thread ? :o: Nope, I do too, in fact that pic you used of the Nardi Blackline is of my car :) I don't really like Momo wheels but I do have a period Momo four spoke wheel with a full centre pad so it doesn't show any metal and it looks really...

thanks guys - what models have you been using ? I'm thinking of the XS36000 or MX5.0. I've just bought the MX5.0 which is the replacement for the 3600 and its a tad more expensive but a much better unit, it also has a good recovery program as previously mentioned. My brother has the Optimate type c...

Theres alot of bollox being written here by people who've probably never had first hand experience at owning a TVR. I've owned a TVR Chimaera for the last 14 months, it always lives outside and doesn't get used alot because I have other toys to play with. The only problem I've had since buying it (t...

Did you mean sell? yeah I might do, I'm in Jersey though so are you still listening? lol does have 85k though!

I bought my Sport back after selling about six or seven years previously, it hadn't been at all well looked after especially considering the owner was a mechanic :roll: Its funny how the niggly little things you remembered when you first owned the car are still on the 'to do' list. I'd actually spen...

Isn't that Total BMW's project silver e30 325i underneath the pic of the 2002? nice selection there anyway.

I sold my 1995 M3 Coupe a few months ago, it had about 58k miles on it (which is about average for Jersey) I got £4650 for it, I liked it but a few things pissed me off. They're nice cars but won't set your world alight, stupidly good on the motorway though. As for value because they don't really st...
