E30 Zone

As per the title of the section - no selling, sorry.

If its a white coloured NIP then its £60 3 points. I got caught in my 328i sport in June, clocked at 82 in a 70. First time in 18 years of driving so i was a bit pi$$ed off!! Hate the way they make you out to be a criminal... :x Heres an excellent site, all you need to know..get it on your favourite...

47.3p a litre of unleaded and £20 for an MOT...Seems like a lifetime ago now! I was bombing around in my MK1 XR2 back then..happy days!

Thanks for posting

Hi, Ive not been on for a while as my e30 touring has gone to a good (i hope) home. Really sorry to see it go but ive been very pleased with its replacement! Im going to reinstate the 330 i badge onto the tailgate of my touring. Can someone let me know the exact position of where to site the badge i...

I seen your touring for sale on p/h..looks really nice. Wouldnt mind seeing a pic of your mustang..is it a V8 or V6?

Cheers for all the comments guys..think im going to enjoy this one :twisted: Jon..the private plate isnt include which is ok as it does nothing for me. My plans are to fit a set of Eibachs and put the 330 i badge back on the tailgate..and thats about it! MPG isnt too much of an issue for me..as long...

Ask the guys at Big Bavarian Beauties. They sent my replacement engine and gearbox down to Plymouth on a pallet.

lol..a company fuel card would be lovely but fraid not..bit ironic as i work for a major oil company!! I only travel up for my shifts, stay in digs then come home again. Thanks for your comments..this ticked all my boxes and im glad i held out for the right car. Its a manual which you dont see too m...

Very nice mate..e46 is the way forward!!

Thanks...i was going to get an e36 touring but i would have been waiting a long time for a good one that meets my requirements to turn. So it was a case of spend a bit more and get something a bit better! The 330i is what i wanted and it has a bit grunt than my 328i Sport. Wish i could keep the e30 ...

Ive been on the look out for a decent e46 touring to replace my e30 touring which deserves a break from ferrying back and fortg from Plymouth to Southampton. Anyway i came across this at the weekend and drove up yesterday and bought it..pick it up next weekend! Its a 52 plate 330i sport touring ,Top...

Sounds like an electrical fault to me.

I had a wiper linkage arm sheer in half on my old e36 318is..it was on the drivers side during a heavy down pour on the M5..scarey stuff!

Fella £3k is just too much money-especially if there are problems with it. I bought my E36 323i SE Touring in February - 91k, FSH, 1 owner, 12 months MOT and no rust on it anywhere. Had some initial problems with the cooling system which were sorted under warranty FOC by the dealer - I paid £2k whi...

No M52 E36 has an Alusil block. http://forum.bmwcarmagazine.com/viewtopic.php?t=40620 IIRC M60's (V8's) were Alusil replacements but E36 323i/328i's got steel liners. Ive heard this as well as there seems to be a difference of opinions on the issue. I looked into this when i bought my 328i sport an...

Couldnt agree more about the 328i sport touring in Avus blue being the best allrounder...my sport is Avus as well..best colour!!

Is 1998 after the nicosil issue Regardless of that, you've said yourself it's overpriced and it has rust. 'nuff said. It had a build date of April 98 which would make it an Alusil block so no issues there. Id be prepared to pay decent money for a top notch example which this one promised to be. If ...

lol first of all id leave the car mate hes just a tool by the sounds trying to take ur money u can get sum really proper examples of the 323i tourer and the 328i tourer m sport :) i saw one the other day for 2.5k so dont be fooled i to have a 328i sport e36 which isnt rusty and is bloody quick with...

I went and looked at a 1998 323i touring with full history and 94k on the clock. The car is in excellent condition but priced fairly high at £2995 though will come with 12 months MOT and 6 Months tax. However on the test drive i noticed that whenever we came to an incline or hill the car lost power ...

Hi Simon..looks like a good buy, glad you found a goodun! Looks like you've got a fair amount of work left to do..but its all worth it! Black on black is a good combo..im off to look at a 330i sport touring this week which is the same. Is there not a decent trimmer round your way who could have done...

Makes you wonder whether the E30 crash was survivable. Id say the passenger side no but drivers side possibly.
Quite spectacular though!

Come on own up who was it??!!

Worryingly i think this is becoming a common problem as ive noticed alot of BMW's in Plymouth with just one grill missing..more than just to be a coincidence. I wonder if its the new "in" thing to do..i can understand VW badges going were walkies in the late eighties when some lame rap group made it...

Theres a drain hole at the bottom of the stowage area..make sure thats free of crud.

Also ask BMW to check the VIN to see if it had its recall to have a new block fitted. Like BMJG said an Alusil block will have a pear shaped blanking plate down near the starter on the n/s. I went through the same processes when i was looking to buy a 328i sport. The one i have is an April 98 car wh...

Cheers. Just spoke to a garage in Kent who specialise in restoring these and they are very keen to get their hands on it. One of the guys there reckons he has seen nearly every CS model in the UK and thinks he is 6 cars away from the full list! Rare indeed. Watch this space... Its worth making an o...

Chris Goffey is like an early Alan Partridge but with a beard..

Good bit of nostalgia...doubt anyone in the future will look back and say that about the current Top Gear!!

It has the early "Neue Klasse" style front end which is fairly rare.

Its gone way passed saving but would be useful for spares to keep others on the road.

Good find..

On here first if im allowed, E36coupe.com forum and pistonheads. I doubt ill put it in autotrader or on ebay.
PM me nearer the time.

Just had my first dealings with ChrisW..top bloke. No fuss no dramas..would definately use again...

Cheers mate.. :) Its kept garaged and covered which keeps it looking good..and the fact that i only use it on sunny days which at the moment is hardly ever! This will definately be up for sale in July when it'll have 12 months MOT and 6 months tax. I have all the original bits to go with the car..ai...

Thanks for all your suggestions guys..the problem has now been solved!! I stripped it all down today and cleaned everything up. I traced the fault to the N/S/F sensor so replaced that and the O/S/F sensor as well. The car now brakes perfectly with no juddering!! I really like E30's they are a doddle...

Thanks Murran and BadDave!! I think ive definately narrowed it down to the ABS..problem is which part! Ill try everything you suggested Murran..it does sound long winded but ive got a bit of time on my hands at the mo..ill just have to scrounge a multimeter! I took each sensor out today and cleaned ...
