E30 Zone

Your last picture is same as how mine is wired, with the little wire all on its own doing nothing, i thought about it but never changed it and its been like that for 12 months with no problem, somebody must know what the wire is for

Thank you will be in touch shortly

Two questions on one subject, heated seat wiring loom and switches are they still available and if so how much for a full set? many thanks.

I'm a bit slow with my housekeeping

but this guy supplied me with a power rack,its fitted and working perfect, i agree with pete27577 "a credit to the zone"

Guys couldn't be more helpful recommend to all

Ok couldn't resist had a tinker checked out injector loom plug thats ok both sides, checked temp senders ok,started to clutch at straws leant on AFM and it stopped hunting inspection revealed big split in hose, temp repair to last until morning car now ticks over steady at indicated 750rpm, then eng...

Thank you but Yes to which bit

Just swaped out M20B20 for M20B25 changed gearbox and all required bits, what a difference in driving car feels alive now not strangled, but after first start didn't want to tickover that has now cleared and ticks over at an indicated 500rpm and now it hunts revs don't change just the sound and smel...

After i removed the K+N it just wouldn't tickover so i raised it via the screw and now it somtimes does the up and down thing but normally settles has just passed an emmisions test for MOT, tried removing and checking connectors to throttle switch and when i removed the plug on the idle valve it mad...

Just taken a K+N off mine and replaced with a proper air box had to turn tickover up to keep it running or have i missed something

1990 320 bty

Your assumption bang on all suspension and brakes being swapped over no matter what just wanted to know if The ABS was a good swap

Ok i'll take a good look at the looms under the bonnet, inside the car they look like an extra loom but there is a big mess of wires at the bulkhead that are gonna take some untangling. but will it be a worthwhile project or alot of effort for little return. The ABS comes from a 1988 325ise

If thats the case that idea belongs on the shelf along with all the parts, would you know if the fitting of the rest of the brakes is gonna cause problems ie sensor holes etc and will my 320 master cylinder cope

I have brought a 325se for spares its to far gone to save but has full ABS system is this a worthwhile upgrade to retro fit to my 320i i am fitting the rest of the braking system and running gear, i know the benefits of ABS but hassle vs improvement is it worth it

You lucky i got two of those on no 1 cylinder i aint touching the others

Same here i thought i had a noisy tappet turned out to be broken studs on number 1 exhaust manifold causing it to blow until warm looking forward to fixing that

Shaprid, does your gearbox seem to stop half way through the gear shifts before engaging each gear properly? Only pauses for a second before it falls into gear. This is what i meant by notchy. It still drives fine but its bloody annoying :mad: Feels like the gearshift will need to be forced in gear...

Not meaning to butt in but! my 320 also suffers for same sort of problem only difference is you can feel the pedal pulsing under foot and push clutch pedal all the way down and you hear a loud knocking noise half way down no noise, can the stroke of pedal to release arm be altered seems like its mov...

Brought some bits from Matt he even helped to remove all parts fitted and working top man

I had one slap up the windscreen once on a Mk1 capri very scary dont want to repeat in a hurry! i for one glad they the wrong way, peace of mind is worth a lot, or maybe i'm just slowing down

Wheels are 7 x 17 but looking at them i think the ET is wrong

Mods suggested are not far away from what i was aiming for but got some mechanicals to sort first and hopfully a floor hardcore hurts ya back

Don't have any problems in or out of any other gear hot or cold just last inch of travel into top left corner feels as if gearstick can only just reach

Difficult to move the lever last inch or so, not a problem coming out and into second, lever does seem to be biased to left hand side and very close to surround when in gear

Sorry a 1990 320i

Just getting use to my first E30 couple things aint quite right maybe someone could shed some light Got a noisy diff checked oil level by unscrewing top plug on back casing lots of oil came out so conclude diff must be worn, read there are different diff casings what do i need to look out for when b...

Wheels look lighter in photo are met grey in normal light came with car so cant complain

Tried to post only photo i got taken just after driving her home

Just a quick note to say hi to all, new to zone and BMW. Just got my first a 1990 Alpine white 320i 4door, 108,000miles.
