E30 Zone

I've got a similar problem. When pulling away and the clutch is all the way off, with small amout of throttle the car Kangaroos pretty bad. Not so bad in 3rd 4th and 5th. Also though, when i accelerate and then drop of the throttle the car feels like it suddenly jolts. as if the back axle is wound u...

ouch, you do yourself any mischeif or limp away with your head hung low?

apparantly 2 people walked away with bumps and bruises! must say something for the old box.

doubt he's still posting

im pleasantly surprised, im going to drive faster

surely not

I have heard before abou them being weak on the sides. Do they have side impact bars? I should probably know this, but hey. Not so glad mines a 2 door now. Oh well, just hav to make sure i go in forwards or backwards.

Whats an e30 like in a smash? My missus drives mine and i dont want her making a mess of the upholstery, just wondering what peoples views are and also experiences if your around to tell the tale.

Thats a stunner, Chromies are starting to make me drewl. Bit more classy looking.Keeep it the way it is!

I want one. Cracking video. Thinking about that, what is an E30 like in a crash? Looks pretty sturdy against that mangler thing.

I for one have a pathetic post count, and I ever new till now it was regarded as an issue by some people. but i would like to say that whenever I have posted on this site i have never failed to have fantastic feedback with great advice. I hope that one day I know my A*se from my elbow and can put so...

Just bought a 318is. I had a similar problem with my old 325 touring. The clutch is fine for driving and when I hold it down for a long time the biting point doesn't change. Yet if i just touch my foot on the clutch pedel very gently the pedal will slowly go all the way to the floor. Any ideas? Seem...

thankyou Stonesie, exactly what i needed to hear. I will have a good look. Appreciate the help mate. If i get the bearings replaced who is it i ask? Fingers crossed its a LSD but i don't think it is.

TA!!!

Just bought a 318is. Lovely car, but the diff is whining and just wondered if this is a major worry or not. I am going to get it up on a ramp and check the oil level. Is this a common thing?

Cheers

Hi. Need a standard or Quiet SS backbox for my new 318is. Currently have a twin tip Scorpion. Not to my taste. Any contacts or prices would be welcome.

Cheers

Black/blue smoke.NOT GOOD! especially on higher rev gear changes. Yet when it warms up it seems to die down alot. but only paid Ã‚£500 for the car so wasnt expecting a beauty! might just sell it again. get myself a nice one.

Was just cruising along the motorway and the ABS light came on on my 325 touring. Also Brake light is on on check computer. But brakes work fine.

Also smokes at high revs untilm warm then stops smoking so much?

any ideas about any of them? maybe piston ring?

il keep you posted kam... thanks for your help mate!

blood and sand!!! ... quite a debatable topic, nice one for the advice guys. Im gonna get myself a pair but keep the spacing the same as standard. If the old bill pull me il play innocent and change em after. Thanks for the advice everyone!!!

Are the metal pressed plates you can buy road legal?? and if not how much greif do you get for it? or do the police turn a blind eye?

another quick question if anyone has heard of this. Just bought a 325 touring and there is an awful stench of petrol from the car. What its not drinking by the gallon it must be leaking somewhere. Is there a common fault i should check for on this particular car or could it be anything? I realise it...

Nice one lads!!!! i'l bleed the sod in the morning and give it a full service. Then see what other problems it can come up with! If it doesnt fix it il get back to you!

Thanks for the help guys

Just bought bmw1502's black 1989 325i touring. The clutch biting point is very low, yet when it sags if i take it out of gear and either pump the clutch or take my foot off, the pedal comes back up. Clutch is biting fine just very low. Is this common?? slave cylinder maybe? if anyone could give me s...

Will a set of wheels fit my 1990 318IS??

studs are 4 x 100 (which is correct i hope)

but they are of a golf mk1 convertible and the ET is 0

Will they fit or can they be adapted to fit?

THANKYOU!!!

I'd go for a tidy 318is. Ive got mine at 21 (minter, lady owner for 9 years, one bit of rot on rear wing. But a spray and a polish later i have a cracker for a grand!) and my insurance was around 650 with 0 no-claims with bell.co.uk but i also hear adrian flux are good. (ring them and talk posh and ...

Is that 35mm drop all round ed325?? or could i get away with more on front or back? thankyou for that! matt

Hi everyone... i want to lower my 1990 318is... she's a near minter apart from the scratch that some viscious little pykee decided to put the length of the drivers side! I am trying to get hold of a nice set of 15" wheels and then lower it. I want it to look reasonably low but not to be a pain in th...

Bugger!!! thanks for the advice M5pilot. But just ordered a chip from USA off ebay, before reading your advice. Il give it a go and see what happens. no doubt il be on the phone to you soon trying to buy another one that actually works. But fingers crossed! Il let you know what happens! cheers
