Oh, cool! Looks like I won't need the battery now. There was someone selling a three door '89 325i that needs a new battery, timing belt, and a new MOT, so I made an offer as suggested - they refused my offer and are going to scrap the car!!!! :eek: I asked if my offer was unacceptable, what would t...

Near Cognac, mate, do you know the area?

Thanks guys! That will help me out a lot

I'm going to look at a 1989 e30 325i next week, and it needs a new battery. I have a 316i touring battery - will that fit in just to get me home? Is the battery on the 325i in the boot or up front? Any advice will be appreciated. Don't want to buy a battery before seeing the car and it's out in the ...

Thanks for the replies guys, I think I'll go completely standard as BMW intended it to be.............I must be getting old to have said that!

I have a 316i Touring with a 70/50 lowering kit. I now have to use my car for work which involves carrying heavy loads, so need her back to standard, or at least not so low that the wheels foul the arches under a full load. Also, I cannot stand the uncomfortable, bumpy ride on the country roads wher...

Sorry to hear about the accident. Your touring looks like she was in really great condition. I'm always following touring prices and have seen lots up for sale from 500 to 2,500 GBP with low mileage. I think 1,000 should be a good guesstimate for a late model touring..........
Good luck!

That's a beauty! Love the colour, the rims, and the stance. Looks mint, too!

Good luck on the sale! I recently bought a Golf GTI as my daily so I can't buy any more new cars sadly...........

Thanks for clarifying that, mate

P.S. Great looking cab!

Thanks for confirming this

The ride is quite bumpy on country roads, fine on main road and motorways - so will fitting these new parts make it any less bumpy or is the rough ride down to my dampers/spring setup?

I took the wheels off the other day for a bit of a clean up and noticed what I think are the rubber bump stops, or what's left of them that is.............can anyone confirm if this is indeed what they are please? I have seen replacements cheap on ebay, but will they fit my up-rated shocks? TIA http...

I appreciate the replies, guys

She's an E30 I bought over from the UK so I'll do the checks you suggest and hope it works.

Thanks again

Anyone?

That's a job well done! I'd be pleased with that

They used to be temperamental, but now the little light for the front fogs on the dashboard doesn't come on, or the fog lights themselves. The bulbs are okay, so I assume it's the relay or the interior switch itself? I have taken both out and checked the connections and they're clean......... Any id...

Cheers, Rav! Good to see some of the old crowd are still here.

Hello mate, I'm pleased to see some fellow Touring owners. I see you also own a 316i Lux!

Thanks, mate!

Hey guys, don't know how many of you remember me as haven't been on for a while. I still own the trusty E30 and she's going strong and passing MOTs first time after 11 years of ownership, although admittedly, she's showing her age a bit now...... Mileage is on 96,000 miles. Here's a couple of pics.....

Good work on the blog and nice E30 mate. I'll check in and read from time to time

I think you've done a cracking job on this and love the personalizing of your seats/headliner.

Is the ride harsh on that suspension set-up?

Thank you. I was wondering if removing the visor brackets might be enough. I'll give it a go

I managed to knock the rear view mirror off on my touring. It's not broken, but it's a tough spring loaded type fitting. I can't access the area to give enough force to knock it back. Any suggestions?
I'm hoping the head lining doesn't need to come off.
Cheers

^ LOL

I took out a 911 in my 316i..........you should have seen the Porsche driver's face as he watched me fly past!!!! (he was in a lay-by with an AA man tinkering under the 911's hood at the time). I fondly remember another time I steamed away from a three-wheeler at the lights. The lucky bugger took me...

I was grateful he accepted cheques and shipped abroad. Each item was very well wrapped.

My first port of call for future parts

Looks clean, you're lucky man!

That's just as I'd imagine my dream touring........jealous

I used to apply vinyl to cars, trucks and signs for a living, and believe me, it takes a lot of practice (unless you're a natural). If you get the slightest bit of dirt or dust underneath it looks really crappy. P.S. I hate to admit, but in the early 90s I applied Ford Motorsport zebra stripes to my...

Love the 'zilla!

Can't believe people like these on an E30. Horses for courses I guess.

I think they look like plastic wheel trims personally.

You don't actually see many yellow lights over here any more. Very rare in fact.

Jungian64, it might be quicker and easier just to replace the whole seat, unless you can get some matching material that is.....

That black leather touring interior sounds lush! Wish I wasn't so damn far away from you lot.
