pm sent, thanks.

dom, ive checked out your car, wow what a looker! its nice having something down there with not having an armrest, gotta love denuine accesories.

oh yeah i dont want to actually make calls on it I have bluetooth nowadays lol i just want it to light up and beep and stuff.

ive just ordered the regular powerflex jobs from demon tweeks. needed them asap and they had them in stock, im sure it will be an improvement, also doing new front brakes at the same time, next on the list, rear shocks and new camshaft hehe.

Ive just won 1 on ebay, a genuine accesory carphone with center console and all its modules etc, seller is not sure if it even works, im not fussed its just a cool thing, but if it does work, does anyone know how it wires in! I cant find anything on real oem, thanks.

is that meaning the powerflex versions do? the car is otherwise unmodified I just want everything tighter, would I be better with the normal ones then?

great link thanks I will definately be using that, what advantages do the eccentrics bring?

Im replacing the main bushes on my front lower arms and I need to know which to order, I want better location and sharper handling, so do I go for OE, powerflex, superflex, offset, normal etc, which is best, its an unmodified 316....

Im 19 and with 1 years no claims, 3 points and a non fault claim for a written off rover 800 I unsure my 316i LUX for Ã‚£560pa!! unlimited miles, Ã‚£135 Excess and drive any car extension...Quinn Direct if anyones interested, however I have had a full license for more than 2 years so that helps....

A well sorted 4x4 will out corner a 325i speed wise, the 4x4 system is a very good one, but to be honest the BMW is all round a nicer drive, as much as I love Sierras you really need a cosworth to keep up with the driving pleasure of the E30 especially as a sorted E30 is what we know as an M3 lol. T...

thats exactly what is, and its modded too, sounds the nuts and goes like the clappers....

I met up with a few people from the Sierra club on sunday, I had some parts for a bloke and we had a pub lunch etc up near stoke, just though id share a picture, notice the odd car out lol!! Did 120 miles at 85-90 odd on just under a 3rd of a tank, not bad at all. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...

mine had a BMW system dealer fitted a few years ago with an immobiliser, remote locking and ultrasonics and it wasnt that much according to the bill so that might be worth a try...

My wishbone bushes need doing, so while im under there i thought about powerflex bushes, should last way longer, but do they make a huge difference to handling?? and do they make the ride harsher as I dont want to...may do front shocks changing them to gas if they arent already, its getting new rear...

that is gorgeous, very tasteful, exactly the style I love.

what oil should i be looking at for a 161k mile 316 (m40)? ive put some cheap 15 w40 mineral in it and i plan on changing it again soon after say 600 miles as the old oil had been in there a while, it has rattly tappets but it doesnt burn a drop the engine is in very good order (touch wood) so what ...

ive been on that route myself in a Sierra, its fantastic, I love the lake district, my fave place in the world.....

ive got no experience of having one on an E30, i drive a '90 316 like yours, but i had 1 on a low power sierra and it was great, much more controllable when the back got playful, I would say they improve any car, and i wish my dads Jaguar XKR had one rather than wanky traction control....

the rattle is the only problem with the engine otherwise its perfect, the cambelt snapped about 50k ago so it had alot of work then. I think i will just do the top end, its worth it the car has got 12 month MOT 6 months tax, its gotta be my daily driver coz im thinking bout getting a classic Porsche...

talking about plugs to the AFM, mine has the large screw in plug to the AFM but also attached to the same mini-loom is another small connector that isnt connected to anything, what does this do!?

its annoying that people think its broken though lol! when im just rolling along at 30-40mph I can hear a ticking noise, drives me mental I dont like any rattly type noises from my car, thats it, engine apart tomorrow hehe

haha, well when theres more than 1 i gotta be able to see faces, cant call em the wrong names now can I

My car has done 161k miles with BMW history until 140k but the top end rattles like a beast, its just had fresh 15 w40 mineral oil and filter but its still terrible, ive babied it, ive ragged it and it wont go away!! can the lifters be rebuilt, or should I just drop Ã‚£100 for new camshaft, lifters ...

yeah that was a lovely car but i managed to smash the front 2 rocker arms over-revving it, was very rapid until that point though!! all electric 2, even had heated screen washers.... the M10 auto is the least fun car ever really but you could coax the back out, locking it in 1st in the rain and real...

if you remove the light unit and watch it from the back when you switch it over youll probly find the little copper bar isn`t making a connection(for light manualy on) it`ll just need bending over slightly. thanks mate hopefully thats all it is, i will try that 2nite, its annoying not being able to...

Ive just noticed that despite my interior lights working fine on the door switches you cant turn them on on the actual units, anyone know why that could be?

talking of bottoming out, thats why my E30 will not get lower, just new stuff, the stock drive is very nice I find and i too spend alot of time in the Lake District and sometimes the roads just drop away, anyone whos driven around brigsteer will know this!! I smashed my newly suspended Sierra LX up ...

Its very loose around the dead ahead and if you grab the column in the engine bay and twist it, theres a delay, like a busted UJ, how easy is it to change the offending article, it passed the MOT like this but surely its a safety issue...thanks guys.

I think I've seen your Sierra on the Sierra forum (fellow Sierra owner), very nice it is too. Welcome! What happened to your 318i? It was a base model with no PAS, leccy windows or anything so I didnt really keep it that long, sold it on to a Lady whod never had an automatic before...whats your nam...

Taken today, sorry about the crap weather not my fault :D My 316i and 735i both freshly washed but its too cold to do all the spokes in the wheels :o: Also a pic of the 1985 M10 318i Auto I had a few months ago, ive also had a 1987 528i in lachsilber which was lovely but a bit rusty and I managed to...

exactly, cheap insurance, gr8 economy, luxury bits and pieces, and best of all its a BMW!
