hi have a problem wÄ±th an e36 m52 which stalls after it reaches normal temp had it on the diagnostics whÄ±ch showed camshaft position sensor error after replacing the sensor still had the same fault show up and still stalls once normal temp reached can anyone point in the right direction as i am st...

no not yet,

I have had the 3:64 diff on for the m20 motor I was running and never saw more than 137mph on gps readings. Now on an m30 motor with the same diff, I am getting the same readings. Although i'm getting there "slightly" quicker. So as I see it, the diff is the deciding factor in the over all speed of...

i had 17's the handling felt off got the 16's on an it was like the whole car had changed better handling.

at last got the miller gen3 maf conversion on my m20 b27 happy to say its worked out well torque increase and better mpg,i can honestly say I'm glad i got the miller maf.

Hi all, could any one tell me the codes on a manual sport close ratio gearbox ?

260 getrag standard on 325i ratios, 1st 3.829 2nd 2.199 3rd 1.401 4th 1.000 5th 0.809
245 getrag sports gearbox 323i 1st 3.764 2nd 2.325 3rd 1.612 4th 1.229 5th 1.000

is there any mathematical way of calculating what rpm you will be doing at different speeds etc :D http://www.metricmechanic.com/ has information on differentials and gear and speed calculations, a bit to complex for me to understand,maybe someone whose maths is good would find this usefull.

i have a 327i and the open 4.45 diff an its quick on 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th, but you lose out on top end and can piss you off quite easy changing gears every second lol. 5th gear 60mph 3000 rpm imagine the rest...i think the more logical would be 3.64 lsd.

no its different, for 320i on the afm would be 083 and the 325i would be 082,if thats any help at all.

i've been having the same problems with cats for a year now, these cats are stuborn pests that's hard to get rid of,by the way i have a lemon tree next to where i park it doesnt work, maybe i should put glue on the roof and it will stick to it like sh*t a good example for other cats.

i have a 320ic auto it's top speed is just under 120mph,my one being a convertable is heavier than the coupe

that's what i thought, you recon it would fit a m20 b20?

If it's built for a 5 series then it might not fit, the main clearance issue is with the steering column on RHD E30's Chris thanks chris, but my cars lhd, i was more interested to know if the m20 heads all had the same size manifold connection. i've never heard of the 528 m20 maybe it was an americ...

lovely car i would pay 3000 for a car like that but that's me and i'm not in the uk so wouldn't be able to give you a uk price. the 318i cab is the latest addition to the cabbies before it went out of production in 1993.well worth having, good luck.

i think it;s a good idea i have the bilstein b8 sprint front and eibach pro kit springs all round still need to get the rear looking forward to your tech guide

this is the site to buy from... http://www.designerbeema.com/productDetails.asp?id=69
you can buy original or wiesmann

it sounds like your in home limp mode... only for safety reasons you should check all electrical lines to do with the gearbox ecu and anything related,for more expert advice ask brianmoooore.

my two bits, i used an 87 rs turbo electric fan if your familiar with the system it goes on the other side of the rad
in between the bumper and radiator you'll have to custom fit it, it's powerfull and does the job.

could be anything e.g clogged air filter or faulty fuel pump i think you'll have to be more specific about the symptoms in order to get a valueble reply.

please double check there may be different versions but i think this is the ecu number
0 261 200 381 (motronic) bosch, and there is another in the trunk it's for the autobox ecu don't know the number of that.

and another version

324d
M21 6 cylinder
86 HP
165 km/h
1985 - 1991

324td
M21 6 cylinder
115 HP
187 km/h
1987 - 1991

In 1987 the 324td was introduced. It had a
six cylinder diesel engine with turbo wich now had 115 HP... is quoted on this page http://www.bmwinfo.com/23200.html

who better to ask than the oilman, i was actually wondering about oil coolers on m20 engines some have e.g b25 and some don't b20 what's the difference and the efect of an oil cooler, in reality do we need them.

no, just attach the ballast in the rear middle of your projectors then the plastic will fit.
