E30 Zone

it has not been changed in 4 years :mad: ok so does that mean that the pump is now worn or if i change the oil for new stuff it might bring it back to life again? also is it hard to flush the system - how do you do it? is there a bleed screw/ valve then that i have to open to bleed it correctly? Tha...

My belts are a month old and the level has never dropped a bit in four years.

Is there only one pump that will fit a e30 316i. Will higher engined e30 pumps fit? if so, what ones?

Cheers lads

Hi there i have a 1990 E30 316i M40 engine In the last few weeks (especially just after i start the car in the morning) when i turn the steering wheel i get a squeal from either the PAS pump or the rack? Its gets louder during turning and goes low then (but still audible) when i stop turning Would i...

hi guys, as the title says will a whole set of seats from a three door e36 fit straight into a 3 door e30? or is it possible with a bit of fiddling?! are the subframes the same? is the width of the backseats the same? the reason i ask is that all good condition e30 interiors are near crazy money and...

thanks for the help guys!

so it really does not matter (maybe go for ATE ones though!)

does anyone have a new/remanufactured set for sale?

Thanks!

p.s ive since got my passenger door green tint glass replaced since a little to"Ã‚£er put a stone through it!

hi lads, Im upgrading my front brakes in my 316i from solid to vented disks so i have to get a set of 318i/325i calipers. My question is how do i know if I should get a set of Girling 325i calipers or ATE calipers? Or does it matter because im changing the two of the front calipers? of should i just...

so the scrap yard should have no blue glass?

Thanks for the fast reply im going there in a few minutes!

ok so would i be right in saying that there is only green and brown in england?
no blue?

little scum bags broke my passenger door window yesterday and im going to a scrapyard today and i want to know which one (tint) to get

its a white 1990 316i coupe

Lads,

As the heading says - any ideas? white e30?

hi lads,

Im changing from solid front disks in my 316i to vented and so i need 3181/325i calipers.

Will my existing 316i caliper mounting bolts do/fit?
Will the banjo bolt be the same?
Will the 316i brake hose fit the 315i caliper?

Anything else i have to worry about?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers guys

Has anyone but any different diesel engine in an E30?
Vauxhall, VW etc??

My ideal conversion would be a golf tdi engine (very high MPG and very common engines) The only worry would be wiring, which gearbox, space etc etc etc !!!

Has anyone a diesel E30? Im not after performance- im just after decent milage for my cash!

Cheers for the replies

Cheers mate

What sort of MPG are you getting on the 325i? On petrol i believe they are redic......

Sounds good!
Thanks for the fast reply

Has anyone done this?
Does it cost much for the conversion?

Only down side is the low number of petrol stations that sell it.........

Hi guys, Has anyone ever converted their e30s to a diesel engine for better MPG? If so does anyone have any ideas on this? The reason im thinking of doing this is because my own 316i would do approx 28MPG (driven easy) and my girlfriends '03 tdi golf is doing over 50MPG!! Aside is there any common f...

Thanks for the reply chris -

Cheers

Hi lads i was wondering would a whole ht plug kit be the same for both cars

1.Bmw 316i E30 car 1990
2.BMW 316i M43 93-98

does one haxe a coil pack and the other not?
would they still fit fine?

Thanks?

where would be my best bet to buy new disks and new/second hand calipers lads?
also will the 316i brake hoses do?

Thanks

thanks ed325i for the reply yes i hvae non vented disks so new 325i disks and calipers are the way to go? did all 325i disks and calipers come with the same set up? (for parts reasons) and would this set up bolt directly onto my front hub assembly? and where would be my best bet to buy new diskd and...

hi lads, I need to either renew or upgrade the front brakes on my e30 316i. (they are well corroded after 16yrs) I was wondering should i just replace the disks and pads (and maybe even calipers) or is there a simple upgrade i can do? (even parts from a newer different car?) Having chosen either of ...
