E30 Zone

Hi all, As you'll all have noticed, we've had a bit of a downpour over the last 3 days. This led to me noticing a damp smell within my boot, and on further inspection this evening I found that the passenger side of the parcel shelf is wet! It's only wet at the base, the interior cabin aspect is tota...

I'm terrified that I'll break it! Any particular approach that is safest? Thinking of using a flathead screwdriver and a thin cloth...

Hi all, I have a 370mm Tech-1 wheel and a few weeks ago, after pressing the bottom horn button, it chose to stay sounding! I had to pull out the fuse in order to preserve my sanity, but now do not have a functioning horn! I believe the metal contacts beneath the button must be in constant contact, a...

Exhaust looks awesome. I'd definitely get spacers for the rears! I have a 4x100 Eibach set, I'll dig them out and check their width for you.

Thanks!

Have a feeling it may be a stuck button - as when fiddling with the buttons the horn intermittently stops sounding. How best to fix these? Do I need to pop the buttons off?

Dear all, So, my problem stems from an incident last week when an ignorant [female] driver chose to pull out in front of me on a roundabout having only looked to her left. Mistake. I was understandably quite angry, so chose to horn, and my horn then chose to keep sounding, even once I had let go. Em...

Thanks guys, these cars are very photogenic to be fair.

FinalD, your shot was my personal fav of the bunch!

Messing around with some night photography this evening!

The 469s came on the 7-series right?

Harry - I'm guessing BMW still do these new? Obviously at an outrageous price...

Christian, I used to run the 60/40 H&R kit and thought it was brilliant. Ride height was great in my opinion (not too low, but sits very well). I now run an Eibach kit with Bilstein shocks, and I would agree that the H&R kit was stiffer in comparison. Also made the rear a little more twitchy! Great ...

Afternoon guys,

Does anybody know the full spec on the OEM BBS wheels that came on the M3?

I'm after the width (think they're 8J) and the offset...

If anybody knows what they're called (ie BBS RZ + specific code?) that would also be grand!

Thanks in advance
Ajay

I'd go for negaro! Are you building out the dishes?

Those turbo fans are truly a touch (and bloody rare). Love how creative you've been with this - any more pics with the fans fitted?

Looking forward to seeing your progress with this!

New actuator should solve your problem!

All over this.

Fantastic, thanks for your advice!

Will crack on with this and report back in due course.

Thanks Brian, do you think a good plan of action would be: a) Red/black wire modification b) Replace any individual pins which have corroded/broken with new BMW pins I'm not entirely sure what is causing my central locking problem. If you recall my previous post - it was essentially a jammed passeng...

Thanks Brian.

Indeed, my electric mirrors have stopped working this week - hence why I felt to change the plugs completely! Hoping it will also fix the central locking issue I mentioned in a previous post...

Hi guys, The driver's side [C404] plug on my sport is suffering from corrosion and I'm hoping to re-wire a new plug in, as cleaning hasn't worked. Can these plugs (both male and female ends) be bought from BMW? If so, how do they come - plugs alone, or plugs + wiring loom. If anyone has done this in...

Excellent. Less than £20 for the dealers sounds very reasonable, will pop down to my local this week.

Thanks!

Hi Guys, Silly question I know, but thought I'd seek your advice on this. I only have the spare key for my Sport, and am hoping to have a new key cut this week. Does anybody know if BMW offer a service for this, or should I order a blank from another company and have it cut myself? If ordering a bla...

Right, a friend of mine managed to get the door card off and the actuator is fine. However, the driver's side C404 plug is corroded and I think one of the pins may be missing. What're my options? Do I need to wire in new male and female plugs, or is there another alternative? Thanks once again. Ajay

Afternoon everybody, I've returned to the zone after a long break of not owning an E30, and now require your expertise with a very common problem which is driving me to the brink of insanity! The passenger side lock on my Sport is jammed shut (not deadlocked). The key will turn slightly clockwise wi...

Dips you are officially a madman!

Didn't know lazur blue came in the lux model, beautiful colour, and even more beautiful car mate!

I say you go for an M52...

bump... still havn't sourced the problem guys...

I had a look into this today, and the loom behind the glovebox seems ok from what I can tell. http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/8548/dsc01060qt8.th.jpg http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/9357/dsc01063kx6.th.jpg These pictures may help a bit, you can see the two blue/red and blue/black wires at the ...

Hi Guys, Quick one for you, my iS has a factory fitted alarm and since last week all the indicators on the driver's side have stopped flashing when activating/deactivating. I'm thinking I need to find a relay somewhere, but I have very little electrical knowledge so need some basic advice! Any help ...

I have the 325i H&R cup kit on my iS as well, and I agree, it is very twitchy around corners, but once you get used to it its not that bad.

Nice car Omi, when does the scumball start?

Nicee buy chris, after you've done all the small jobs give it a good polish and the paint will look

That's a nice sport, the imola red leather works well with a black car. Don't worry too much about a feature mate, as long as you're happy with the car yourself.

Nice wheels rushy, i've seen a few of these knocking about on edition38 and I must say i've been tempted towards them myself. My mate has LM's on his e36 m3 but £800 a wheel is ridiculous. How do you find the ride/handling on these?

i'm up for one of these, hopefully someone can sort it out
