Hi fellas,
I am searching user manual for Bavaria CDII found in some E30's

Thanks

Lately my 1990 320i behaves strange when I drive slow with clutch up and around 1200 rpm and then press it and stop the engine drops idle like it get's in some kind of stall mode and when I try to move in first it jerks a bit and then pulls off, and after that drives like a dream. Parking becomes v...

looks spot on! love it!
leather is mint, Alpinas look smart too

I hunted and sorted all vacuum leaks, tested with carb cleaner..seems fine now but I can't guarantee it still leaks a little somewhere. Fuel pressure will be checked, and rubber hoses are replaced last year, also fuel filter last summer But weird thing is if I let the key during cranking it will fir...

Reads like lack of fuel or fuel pressure to me,so you are looking for a possible poor seal to an injector,or a failing FPR or seal. Injectortune in the UK repair and service injectors,I expect that the postage cost for you is a little high,but I expect that you will be able to find a local guy who ...

My M20 used to start like a dream and now it's awful, almost twice a day when engine is cold it cranks for about 4-5 seconds.
I need something to start with since I don't know what can be the problem?
Sometimes during the cranking if I let the hand of the key it starts by itself, but pretty roughly

Z4 2.5 here
amazing amazing transformation

love the car...
wheels look too small IMO

running these in mine, perfect light, just slight tingle of blue during warmup

205/50/15 with 60mm allround and never even touched IS spoiler TBH...sometimes middle exhaust section scraps but hardly noticeable
driven on the worlds worst roads in Croatia

195/50/15 is all wrong for e30

I don't know is this common for these cars but loads of E46 I've driven don't have this issue. Anyway, when I lift clutch to the bite point and give it slight gas and moving If I not lift it up full it starts to make noise under car like loud ''tktktkt'' and when I press it quickly down I can hear '...

what is better option...standard BBS 15'' vs BBS RM 7,5x15/8x15?

new OE ones are pretty expensive
my advice is to source very good used ones and then spray them satin black, will look as new.
Don't use any conditioners on trim, looks messy and oily, trim needs to be mat and with no shine.

one of the cleanest Croatian E30's!

respect

I have a call from a friend today who is braking some rusty 325i and said it has Alpina exhaust manifold on!
This is pretty cool stuff I know but what gains can I achieve if I put it on my 320i?

I want to know more about this simple mod.
Reading over the internet I realized it's very popular in USA
worth it in our cars? Anyone using it?
TBH I use Z4 shifter in mine and clutch doesn't follow it really in shifting speed...too long pedal move

I use mine on JOM every day...and I don't hit anything on the road, car is pretty low but still decent plus front IS lip at the front. Ride is fine, supple, and much more pleasant that on previous setups I had Bilstein B6 plus H&R sports and my teeth were falling out over bumps, I needed to change t...

thanks a lot!!

I am in process of adding A/C system in my car... cant't live any more in diamond black with leather

I found 318is with complete working unit but I never done this before so I was wondering is there any install manual from BMW or something similar?

Thanks

Brian I finally sorted this!!!
Thanks hundred times

The problem was surface rust under the door switch, I used some sandpaper and sand it down then applied electronic spray on contact and after pressing with hands...lights go off!!!
I am really happy now!

Middle switch position on the interior lights is 'off'. One way is permanently on, and the other is 'on' by the pin switches. on both positions they are ON and when I open/close door they still stay ON In the 'off' position there should be no metal physically contacting one end of the bulb, so it s...

unbeliveable!
I tried to disconnect the switch from pillar and ground the wire but that doesn't turn them on.
I suppose that main light unit switch needs to be on middle position to work when doors opened?

bump

still don't work when doors opened

never checked tbh

update funny but now car is cranking too long when cold it just wont start like before from first turn of the key :-x sparks replaced recently, fuel filter last year, blue temp sensor last summer (it was not genuine one, swag replacement if that means annything) apart from long cranking it goes like...

I would be replacing all the bushes, check the top mounts and the steering coupler and see what it's like after that

only thing that never been replaced is steering coupler and steering rack....everything else, done already

well I don't know how to measure it with string, noob :D just got back from alingment shop, totaly different car now, front toe was way out, I told him to get it 1-2mm in and he did, also the bloody steering wheel is not off centre any more. However I can still feel some road bumps through the steer...

Brianmoooore wrote:Sounds like it doesn't have quite enough toe in on the front wheels to me. Get the string out and check - you need between 1 and 2mm in.

Thanks mate!
I think I will take to the professional shop to align it and will report here

no ideas?

Hi fellas, I already posted this once before but problem still remains so I will try to describe it better. It's a 1990 320i with no airbag, LHD car, standard power steering Problem is when driving over slightly bumpy roads car feels totally loose in steering, like it's floating, and every single pi...

Rev. counter problem is the most common minor fault that occurs with the lithium battery powered SI boards. Doesn't cause any problems, and the only cure I know of is to fit a board that isn't faulty. Vibration: ggod luck finding this, bur what happens if you knock the car out of gear when it's occ...

I have a few questions so please be patient :D Last week I noticed when I shut engine down and get the key out, rev counter needle settles at 500rpm :o and when I try to start the car it goes back to 0? any solution? second...I hear some kind of vibration when driving cold car in fifth gear around 8...
