LOL ... thats just funny

Just why ?

I plan to have 2 sets of plates one leagal for the mot and the other for genral use. The amount of use my e30 gets I very much doubt that I'll get pulled. If I do the fine will be insignificant compared to the fule cost anyway! I got E3 OBW. MS (my initials) was taken so BW was as close to BMW I cou...

oh I'm last to know then!

On the DVLA website for £399, lots left. My initials had gone and so had BM & MY for example but lots left.
I just baught one. Of course I will be spacing it correctly !

I'm saving for rpm stuff.

not as lame as 17 for very similar performance.

That is real brim to brim. my obc say 54 average.

Dont know mate but I just replaced the dampers on my other car and both seemed to return at the same rate. Both took the same effort to compress which was not much. They were new out of the box but cheap pattern parts.
Hope that helps.

I get 45 mpg easy on along run and 31 when driving round town. With the same driving my 325i got 28 and 17 mpg. No contest.

I removed mine the other week. They were in very good condition and seemed very sturdy the only reason that I removed them was because the inlet manifold was comming off so I could clean it. The reason for that was that I took the egr valve off and was shocked how much hard and soft gooey crud (abou...

I'm in Bristol and have a m30'ed e30 but I'm not sure how much use I'll be as I baught the car done. I have changed the diff on mine as it was not a limited slip and will have a go at most jobs. Maybe we could help each other ?

Come to think of it, saloon and touring would be the same. On the 46 the wood appears to be metal all the way through. I dont know about the gear stick though.

OK thanks, I was trying to ignore the oil on the bottom engine cover. are turbos on these are a pig to get at? is it a diy replacement or a specialist?

thanks

I like it. Your right about the wood though so what are you going to do? I want to change the wood effect trim in my 46 but finding trim for tourings is a nightmere. I have considered going diy and sanding, priming, painting myself but am worried about the finish I could achive. What are you going f...

Any one got any ideas why my 320d has started smoking dense black/grey smoke when on heavy load? So far I have replaced the breather. Cleaned the inlet manifold and bypassed the EGR valve. I can feel the diffrence its quicker to pick up has more pre boost torque and the top end is more of a kick ins...

part no. 6755067.

I just got one with the part same part number as mentioned for the clubsport but it's off a 330d sport. Hope it fits ! £95 delivered.

I like them but I would rather have a nice set of original bbs's with BMW center caps.

Prop removal is easy just use the handbrake and a spanner, the exhaust is harder as the fixings are allways rusty and either snap or round.

I was looking at mine yesterday and a 55L tank is £125 from GSF the bigger one is more. On mine there are 3 metal lines that run along the passenger side of the car send, return and one that just goes to the front wing via a rubber hose that is just free in the inner wing. My send and return didnt l...

I have used it a few times. Not bad but sometimes not right. I spent ages looking for the star adjuster at the 10 o'clock position when adjusting my handbrake as thats where it told me to look and it wasn't until I took the disk off that I found it nearer the 12 o'clock position.

Its not just school run mums you have to worrie about. I pulled up at the lights behind a red vw transporter van then when the lights changed and we moved into 2 lanes I pulled out and started to overtake but the van driver pulled out just as my bonnet was comming level with his rear bumper so I bra...

nice one this is so much better than my crappy poll!

I've put this in the wrong forum as its an m30 and a different gbox I just put it here.

Moderator could you please move to tech help ? Thankyou.

No sign of fluid around the pedal or under the carpet and no sign of fluid around the slave on the gearbox. Its very strange. The clutch behaves normally, biting low and progressively. Is it possible that its leaking into the gearbox? I don't know how hydraulic clutches work but I imagine that there...

It was good to meet you too, nice clean moordoor that put the condition of my car to shame. I only took one photo of a guys 19" wheels which were very unusual. The organiser took alot of photos and I think posted them on facebook but I have been unable to find him yet.

Hi all, I noticed that my clutch fluid reservoir was empty again so I filled it to the max level and ran it round the block. I looked again and although the level was the same the fluid had changed from a nice amber to a silver/grey so i sucked it out with a syringe and repeated. The same thing happ...

It was ok. Didn't stay long. Lots of vee dubs.

its a nice day and i fancy a run in the car, so i'll have a look. No need to stay if its pooh.

is the location still the same ? i'm going to head over soon.

ok thanks for the info.

I guess i did'nt think it through

could have done it on a county by county basis.

Oops - did'nt think outside the uk.

Those of you that have swapped engines for a larger capacity have you registered the change with the dvla?
So on your logbook (v5) does the model of the car ie 318is stay the same?
The capacity obviously changes (1796 to 3430)
Does anything else change?
