E30 Zone

Think it needs lowering for the Rondells to work.

If it's an auto leave it in 'D' and make sure it goes through ALL the gears, and also in Steptronic, and ensure it doesn't jerk into gear. Also try moving off on a slight hill to test if it jerks into gear when moving off. Check to ensure the ABS/Traction lights don't stay on as it can get pretty ex...

My old touring:

Update: found the pipe at fault, it was the one connected to the connection from the engine block, however it was a bit more complicated. The pipe coming off the block led to a T-pipe that went off to the LPG system, so it's the piece added by the LPG installed that had failed. This wasn't therefore...

Just been reading this thread as i've had a similar problem as mentioned by the OP, but mine has got worse. Water is leaking out somewhere near the back of the block. Is there a a pipe that could split at the back of the block (near the bulk-head)? Problem started when i took the car (M52 B28 E39) f...

You will be back.... Did that building site across the road in your earlier photo's ever get finished? Yes it did... it's about 3 or 4 stories high and is now a medical centre. Just found a pic (only one i could find). Lister House. http://activetotalhealth.co.uk/img/lister_house.jpg To answer a fe...

The E39 will stay, but i may buy an e30 for a weekend toy...just not for the foreseeable future.

I have no doubt

My touring got collected today to make its way over to E30topless...that means i'm all sold up, and with the E39 now demanding all my attention and funds, this is farewell for now. :cry: I've had a great time on the Zone, and learnt so much thanks to you all....i got so comfortable with these cars t...

If you want the looks then it has to be 9J all round.

Staggered for me doesn't work unless you're using splitties or seriously wide rears.

I can confirm that Borbet T's will fit without spacers.

9J all round.

Remind me on the weekend and i'll try and pop round.

I want that kind of bass in the cabby :D Never going to happen. The sunny (and many other cars) was just transport for my bass at the time, and worked well because it was a hatch. A Cabby is the worst possible car for audio, as even if you use the whole boot as an enclosure, you loose far too much ...

Good times

Seen this up close, very nice smart E39, looks well :thumb: The Sunny was on a different planet, you could hear the bass from a couple of miles away :twisted: :twisted: No back seats, just full of bass :cool: I remember the first time i fitted them properly and took it for a test...it made your thr...

Shame about the LPG filler,though I take your point about having to bend down for one mounted more discreetly.Would it be possible to mod the wing so it is hidden behind a flap? Or at least paint it body colour! I will be painting it, just not got round to doing it yet. Took some new pics of the 5 ...

Who in the blue hell thought that that steering and gear knob were a good idea??

Think that's a Nardi...normally worth a bit of money!

Liked the 528 so much i've bought it off my brother.

Hope to start fixing it up ASAP and get it back to it's prime.

Where are you getting the work done if you don't mind me asking?

Looks like friar gate.

Hi, Just wondering how much the front and rear cupholders (or storage box for the rear) will be for an E39 (1998 - prefacelift if it makes any difference). I also need the price for the front bumper plastic moulding inserts will be for a M Sport bumper. They need to have the parking sensor holes cut...

Sold my LPG 325i to Kevo, turned up when he said he would, and paid the agreed price, no hassle, good easy transaction.

Looking good... :thumb: Why did you choose to buy a 35W kit as opposed to a 50W kit though? I fitted 50W 4300K to my brothers E39 and they're alot brighter than the 4300K 35W i have fitted on my e30. Didn't know there were different ones to be honest. :o: 50W version is about 1/3 brighter than the ...

I also had the same issue with the adaptors...i just snapped the tab off aswell, but it makes it much harder to tighten them without it.

Looking good...

I fitted 50W 4300K to my brothers E39 and they're alot brighter than the 4300K 35W i have fitted on my e30.

My touring back in it's prime..

Additional feedback to previous.

Bought my Smoked front head-lights off me.

Agreed on price and time, and turned up on time with the correct money.

Easy transaction,

With a 540i you don't need to change gear :P An nice facelift e39 540i on LPG would be a perfect daily driver imo. Beware though, general maintenance and repairs on these is far more costly and less diy friendly than on an e30. The M5s are awesome but I'm not brave enough to take the plunge persona...

^ Mines an oldie, no sport kit or brushed aluminium trim but it is a 6 spd manual that I only want £2500 for :D I won't be wanting a manual...a friend of mine has a manual, and while you can have more fun in it, most of the time you don't want a manual in a car this big. I'll probably set a budget ...

I got it working again. Just the relay :D It's a great car to drive everyday to be honest. If I drive like a tart I can get 20-23mpg driving around town. Engine is the best thing about it imo :cool: Why not buy my one winkeye ?? It's my brothers wedding in 2weeks time, so what was set aside for my ...

brent007 wrote:cool, thanks, will any bit of wire do the job, something likle fuse wire, or does it have to be a certain type

Any wire will do, but be sure that you've got the right pins.

Now strangely enough I have this with my revcounter....but not the temp gauge! I don't think there's a brass nut on that though... I believe that rev counter is to do with batteries within the clocks, and speedo is to do with the wire coming from the diff. Do a search for "SI" and it should tell yo...

I always felt it sharpens the steering up a bit..probably due to the camber
