i wish i could but my missus wont drive my e30! i will get some pics up, cheers for the responces.

hi all, havent posted for a while, but the time has come when i need to sell the e30, i really dont want to part with her but i can no longer afford to run 2 cars and a bike. i figured this is the best place to find out what sort of money to ask as i dont what to over price it and i dont want to giv...

Hi, first post in a while. if anybody knows the answer to this question i will be amazed! does anyone know the difference between the -09/99 and the 09/99- gearboxes on the e39 m5. i imagine that it is just ratio's but does anyone know for sure? any help would be much appreciated!

They are still available from BMW for Ã‚£483.00 not including electrics! cant imagine they sell many though!

51.21.8.105.039 light case
32.32.1.151.013 battery
51.21.1.935.001 bulb
51.21.1.900.894 key

The bulb is a 0.13 watt bulb. useless!

i know that! but the m20 engine that is fitted to the 325e is different than for a 325i

I have just noticed on BMW EPC that they are listing an E30 325e, does anyone know anything about these. they list them as lhd and rhd manual and auto built between 86-87? is this an e30 eta? I also noticed that the M20 engine is exclusive to this model. cheers, james.

That is my name! fortunately my parents weren't cruel enough to call me GASGAS!

Nice one, thanks for that. james.

Anybody know of any E31 8 Series forums? cheers, james.

I think parts bought from BMW only come with the 2 year warranty if they are fitted by an approved BMW workshop. Providing that the parts have been fitted correctly they are covered by the BMW warranty. it doesnt matter if you are a mechanic or not. http://www.bmw.co.uk/bmwuk/genuineparts/genuinepa...

I rang 2 different dealerships close to me, enquiring about the same part...1 place was Ã‚£41 and the other was Ã‚£48?? that's just 2 dealerships, not that far from each other either... Pal Ã‚£41.00 + VAT = Ã‚£47.97 - I work in parts and different stores-men often quote with, and without VAT. There...

Spanish trials bike fan and rider. and im a bit partial to the odd bean or two!

Remember all BMW parts (no matter how small ie. bulbs atec) have got a 2 year unlimited mileage warranty! A lot of people claim to sell oem parts but BMW have got contracts in place with these manudfacturers to prevent them from selling to the aftermarket. although new block exemption laws will soon...

Gasgas, just out of interest, out of an 8 hour day, how much time on average does an engineer spend on "paid for" work? So for instance, if the enginers goes off for maccydees, or spends an inordinate time in the "office", are we paying the Ã‚£150-200 an hour for this time? Wont quote you of course...

If your out for a bit of a race then dont do it in built up areas, too many people! Fair point, If you are the only person at risk and you are that way inclined, why not? after all a few police officers have been caught lately doing triple figure sums whilst off duty! and its worth mentioning that t...

I would be happy with 10% of our hourly rate!

what the reg? i will check for you.

The customer was told twice once by the service advisor and once by the manager and the guy was insulted.
The car must have had some sentimental value or something like that!

Mine always goes to the BMW dealer! The prices are very reasonable! (free)

But we do get tons of E30's in for servicing and repairs, we had a guy with an 89 318i 4 door pay nearly Ã‚£2k for a complete exhaust, steering rack and an inspection 2! and that was at 4+!

Some of BMW's later colours would go well ie. lemans blue, carbon black or silver grey met. all 'M' sport colours.

BMW GB have got 3 in stock Ã‚£702.13 + VAT This is exchange so will need your old rack. If you can travel to Oxford i could offer you a 10% discount off this price (Ã‚£742 inc VAT) part number 32.13.1.095.577 (unless youve got an M roadster which are different)

The E3 you describe certainly brings back some memories, it has the fuel filler hidden behind the rear numberplate if i remember rightly. When i was a nipper my dad used to tow a caravan with it and once got upto 130mph (nutter!

) and swears that it was far better than his e46 330Ci!

Do you have any pics of the blacked out grilles? im a bit of a purist but it does sound like a nice touch.

Did you know that e30 wind deflectors are still available from BMW? Ã‚£250 though! in fact BMW in germany have got 152 of them! Got a feeling they may have them for a while! especially at that price.

That is a minger! i dread to think what the reserve is!!!

KDS Is basically a track and camber check, they weight the car so it sits correctly and check all the allignments and stuff. It is done using a computer and some optical sensors and is meant to be mega accurate! dunno if i would pay Ã‚£300 though! but it looks pretty impressive. I pressume you could...

OFFSET FOR 16'S IS E46
OFFSET FOR 18'S IS FRONT ET47 AND REAR ET50
As mentioned a KDS will need to be carried out ideally, approx Ã‚£300.

the offset changes as the wheel size increases. what size are you going to?

when the 335i came out it looked and sounded well odd! plus that is only a 3.0!

it didnt have a ski hatch but it does now!! chiselled the spot welds off! does the bass travel through the seat foam ok? as i havent got an arm rest! hope so!!

But mine was a snug fit because of the shear size. Then the f...

Take a look at this guys feedback, i wouldn't trust these figures hes quoting!
