Red M3 parked at Xerox in Uxbridge....stunning car reg BI ***
Anybody on here?

Hi Toby, yeah its shocking that it happened when it did in broad daylight at a busy time. Nothing special to identify them, they were standard motorsport wheels and tyres (as per my avatar) that were immaculate and came with the car when i bought it. The police went around to all the neighbours to a...

just had a call from the police, apparently it has happened to two other beemers in borehamwood recently. @magpie, it would be easier to get a few pics up and a description then put it in the for sale section rather than fabricate a story. i don't appreciate the inferrence that i am lying

I don't understand your question magpie, is it directed at me ?

the fingerprint guy came around and said whoever it was used gloves

yeah, makes me think they knew my movements and waited for me to leave for work

Just got home and the wife said they were missing when she walked passed the car at 8am this morning but they were there when I drove past at 07:25am. @Tedswagon I don't want to sell the car but it I won't be able to prevent it from happening again. @Goldysingh thanks for the offer Mate but there is...

No, he was at work today and only noticed when he came home this afternoon. We live away from the road with no off street parking. I will ask other neighbours if they saw anything when i get home from work

Thanks mate, they are standard Sport alloys as in my sig pic but in very good condition. I doubt I will get them back.

I just got a call from my neighbour to say that someone has stolen the wheels off my car. It has been parked off for about a month or so due to the battery running down. I think i will sell it now as it is always going to be a "source" for parts. Thieving B***tards[/b]

Thanks Mate, I will try the oil, not sure if the cigarette lighter charger will work as charging it from under the bonnet didn't.

My battery has died (no ignition lights), the car has been standing for a while. I need to take the battery out of the boot to charge it but I cannot open the boot. The lock is in the horizontal position and will not turn. I can open the drivers door and the passenger door but not the boot. I have t...

Not sure Richard, I am an ex Durbs boy

It could well be Alberton as the guy that sent it to me is from Jhb

39 and have had 3 E30s. First was a 325i 4 door (91') in South Africa, then a 325i Touring and now the Sport both here in the UK

No Marc, she is staying right here where I can keep an eye on her and not risk her being stolen.

Cheers Shedrool83, I wasn't sure how to post them like you did. Yeah Adit, the 325iS evolution 2 came standard as a 2.7 and is a awesome car.

Mine had exactly the same symtoms and the strange thing is it was a slightly loose battery terminal that caused it. Tightened it and never had the problem again(still have the bulbs I got from Halfords incase the bulbs were shot)

Thanks for all the comments and advice everyone, I had the engine changed yesterday by Theo325 and he is going to carry out a "post mortem" on the knackered one just out of interest.

Huge THANK YOU to Theo and James for their marathon effort in changing my engine today!

Brianmooore, the last time i checked the oil was two and a bit weeks ago, it was NOT months ago! I've moved on from your comment because I see no point, or wish to argue, as life is too short for that Mate. I will continue to own an E30 irrespective of YOUR OPINION

hongkongfuey, I fall into that category of being passionate about my car which is why i felt insulted, its all cleared up now so no point dwelling on the post. Murran, thanks for the info Mate, The overhead light did not come on . I am having the engine changed today but I will keep the old one to s...

don't deserve to own such a quality vehicle as an E30! = you have not checked the oil in months
My mis-interpretation then

Agree Carson218. SteSE I looked at all the spots that I park in and there was no trace of oil as well so it may be exactly the same issue.

I checked the oil when I bought the car and then again at the begining of July when Nelly the slave cylinder on my clutch. Thanks for the information all, the next step will be to change the engine, Theo325 has kindly offered me a solution

Brianmooore thats harsh Mate, I asked for help and advice not insults. I did not drive it 3 miles without oil, as soon as the light came on I coasted it in neutral to the nearest petrol station 100 meters away. I then added the 2l of oil and then drove it home a further 3 miles (the light stayed on ...

Thank you Mods for moving this

Theo25 you have a PM

Instrument cluster

Oops, just realised this should be in the technical help forum

On the way home tonight, the oil light came on so I drove very slowly to a petrol station about a 100 meters away, checked the engine oil and the dip stick was dry. I filled 2 litres of oil but the light didn't go off. I drove the 3 miles home very slowly and the light remained on. Is this terminal ?

TOP man, sorted my clutch out and a few other bits all for way less than I expected. And I got some education on E30s too

Tks Neil I really appreciate it.

Kuben

right 3ish onwards works for me too (F1 qualifying should be over by then) see you then, tks Neil
