E30 Zone

Yea I feel your pain mate, I moved when they even started hinting at ULEZ as I was just on the outskirts of A406 and I could see the writing on the wall. Best decision I ever made tbh. I'm very biased towards a preface lift as I much prefer the looks so I'd say get it and keep it original. I even g...

I'm still undecided about what to do, just being realistic with what a better interior will cost, wheels, a suspension overhaul etc then still have the engine power to sort and a manual gearbox which is why I think it's almost the same hassle to put a 2.8 in it and manual box at the same time as it ...

Sounds like you and your pals need to buy some balaclavas and battery angle grinders, its the only way forward for Londoners IMO

1.6 miles in the zone FFS, 1.6 !!

Oh no don't say that I thought the 323i would be more accepted to mess with, but after 300+ cars I would like to have one forever car and not be worried about reselling. I want something to make my own, modify, keep me out of trouble when I am off shift etc. It's an auto so a manual conversion is a ...

Hi Gents, long time. I've been gutted about my E30 since I sold it but I was about to butcher a really nice 318is with a 2,8 engine as the 1.8 wasn't enough. I am tempted to buy it back from my pal, but, it is not Ulez-compliant and I am 1.6 miles in the zone ffs with cameras everywhere. So here is ...

Still loving the E30 though

.

Hahaha, I have been saying I want more power, although I collect the engine for my E30 on Tuesday too.

4.2 V8

So my E30 has a new (to me) sibling, going to see over the next few weeks how I feel about it and make a decision.

Steve, do you have any more info on the E90 booster please and the adapters needed?

Thank you

Good work Steve, thanks for all the information.

Great bit of info, thanks. Some pics would also be great.

Hi all,

I am after an M52B28 after the one I was buying didn't materialise.

It's going in to my E30 so the more conversion parts fitted the better.

Thank you

I have fitted a couple of the FBz exhausts and have one on my own car. For £600 the quality and fitment is amazing and I can't fathom how he can make any money on them to be honest. I don't have experience of his chips. If you have some coin you want to spend on your M42, BDS are the guys to speak ...

Hi all,

I am starting to put together the conversion parts I need for M52B28.

I need:

- A flywheel from an M20, 2.0 or 2.5

- Sump kit

- Engine mounts

I'm also interested in anything else you may have for this engine into an E30.

Thanks, Yodi

No lsd fitted

I can understand keeping the original parts if you have the space but a decent M52 done right and you wont want to put an M42 back in :D Until the time comes you need to sell it and it is worth half the price without its original engine :? Everyone says that but I don't feel it, it's okay but every...

Cant comment on the fritz parts as i’d be biased, but an m42 done right is wicked imo!

Everyone says that but I don't feel it, it's okay but everyone harps on about sitting on the rev limiter etc but it just doesn't have the power, maybe on track it's good

Have to say, I have the fritz bits m42 exhaust system and I love it! Looks the nuts too! It sounds great and does go a bit better as well This is the only thing I've done to it in regards to performance, no chip or anything so far.

Where are you in the UK mate?

If you go that route, keep your old engine and the bits to put it back. Lost count of people not done that and regretted it. I can understand keeping the original parts if you have the space but a decent M52 done right and you wont want to put an M42 back in :D I messaged you on FB a few days ago, ...

HI Mart

I still owe you for the heater valve.
I hadn't thought of carbs or throttle bodies

Some photo bombs of the last few months.

I think £850 is expensive for an exhaust that the Wiki page advises not to buy, seems a lot for zero performance gain. my bad I should have been clearer. Wiki page is on about manifolds and not complete exhausts. It is also on about manifolds for the M20 not the M42. The wiki is from a different ti...

Hi all, I have read lots of threads, for months both on here and on other forums but I would like some up to date advice. My car, a 1991 318is, standard,. I spoke to fritz bits who assured me the chip/exhaust package will make a massive difference to my car, but the exhaust is now £600, chip is £85,...

I'll have one mate. In portchester

Thanks Robby, can you post?

Hi Guys,

I would like a nice condition door moulding for my 91 318is, the black horizontal strip.

Drivers door.

Thanks

Get the injectors to InjectorTune and have them serviced and sent back. It's only £12.50 an injector.

Thanks for the recommendation

Then my mate came to visit in his shiny red car... While I was there I removed both parts of the inlet manifold to get them cleaned up and change lots of hoses under the inlet, I've bought a whole lot of new parts this week so time to start changing them. I'm also tempted to put a new set of injecto...

I have had the drivers seat repaired, You would never know the material on the knee pad has been replaced, very happy with it.

Took the car out last weekend, still running like shit .

Can't help but think your pics make it look like an RC car haha

I'd love a set of the clear ones but both sellers have really bad feedback.

Does anyone know the Depo part number for the clears?

Thanks
