E30 Zone

Hi guys, I've got an e30 316i lux 2 door which I have been starting up and running upto temperature for the last few days in time for its MOT Monday, she always runs rough when she doesn't get used for a long time (been off the road for a year) When running this evening, I had the heater on to get s...

Hi guys, my E30 is about to be pulled out of the garage and put back into action as my Mum's daily (she has to sell her range rover) also I'm picking up my e46 m3 tomorrow which will take the e30's spot in the garage, I am after a cover for both the E30 2 door and e46 m3, I don't want to pay silly m...

a lump hammer and smack an old, slightly to small socket over them weld a nut / bolt on top take it to a garage, most will have a set of locking wheel nut removers which are like large sockets with a reverse spiral cut inside, so as you try to undo the bolt they cut into its head, the harder you tr...

Evening gents, I have 2 out of 4 Mcguard locking wheel nuts stuck on my E30, I took it to my local garage for 2 new front tires and a removal and reseal of 1 rear, stupidly as I watched them refit the wheels I didn't realise they were using an impact gun on my mcguard lockers, the key was twisted in...

I've had my E30 316i lux 2 door since I was 16 I'm 23 now, and family had it before that, only time it really let me down was when the fuel pipes perished under the inlet manifold, I've done 40,000 miles in it in that time most of it was daily use, I've spent about £2k on it in parts in that time a ...

Here she is, I have 3x centre caps, with no badges http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu13/jonesy525isport/BMw%20E30%20316i/SAM_0538.jpg & the interior http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu13/jonesy525isport/BMw%20E30%20316i/SAM_0515.jpg http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu13/jonesy525isport/BMw%20...

Give me 10 min I'll try and find some pics. The body work is ok, few marks here and there, when's she's clean she looks stunning from about 5 ft, on closer inspection, she shows her age a little bit. Thing is I already have an e46 330d rack to fit and rear disc conversion. I'm self employed and afte...

Hi Im after some advice as to what my e30 is worth as it will affect what I do with it sell it or keep it and slowly build it into a 325i. It's a 316i 2 door lux, I've added se side skirts, is front lip, cream and black Recaro interior inc door cards and parcel shelf, 35mm drop inc shocks, 325i fron...

Hi, just about to put my E30 back on the road after selling my E39 touring, she'll be my daily for the next few months, whilst I look for suitable work vehicle. I'm looking to replace the standard BBS 15" center caps badges, I've no luck finding any on ebay, anyone know the part number so I can ring...

Thanks for the replays gents. Yes I did sell it too cheap, hindsight & that

Guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and stump up the cash. I'm not scrimping on the build, but don't want to pay over the odds. Planning on mtb's and stacks as well should sound. Awesome when done

Hi, about a year ago I sadly had to scrap a 325i I bought off of here (rotten underneath). The engine was one of the last things I sold, I put it up for £250 and I had to drop the price to £120 to sell it. A few months later my Mum offered my old e30 back to me for peanuts. I'm gathering bits for a ...

Should've flashed / waved Duke, I do that run everyday lol. It drives really well, reasonably good on fuel, haven't noticed much difference compared to the M50 (it's the only 2.5 I can compare it with) in that case. I only drove it as an M20 off the truck and onto my drive so can't really comment w...

I have the dodo rotary, used it to do about 10 cars so far, gearbox is getting a bit noisey, seems to lack torque a little bit sometimes. I wouldn't buy it again tbh. I'm with Kos on what he said really, the silverline is quite a bit heavier from memory, as i think that what my brother has, but its ...

Best mod I've done to my 316i was the 325i ARB's with all new bushes. The front made the best difference, the rear made it easier to pop the back out

what was it from a touring?? I fitted mine to a 2 door 1991, everything was plug and play besides 3 cable's (which I just matched to the same cables on my loom and spliced them in) only because there wasn't any connector on my loom when there should have been. i'll take some pics if I get a chance :)

alot of money for thats, espically considering the photo's look like they were taken 20 years ago!

I paid £100 for one off of maggspower and he even dropped it off too

Thanks for the replies;) I think i'll go with rubber beam bushes as its cheaper as well, but I have seen some poly trailing arm bushes lurking around in the garage. Already got a poly diff bush fitted. ;)

I have just paid for a rear disc subframe, before I fit it I will totally refurbish it, whats people opinions on the rear bushes with regards to going poly against BMW rubber items? I have poly wishbone bushes and they seem fine don't transmit any more noise. My Mums E46 has the black poly trailing ...

Ok no probs how long will you need the car stored for??

Where abouts in gloucester are you? My parents have a house coming up for rent in Yate with decent size driveway?

How long would you need the car stored for? We do have a garage we rent out in a really quiet culdesack but I think its rented at the moment.

sounds like the top mount but could be a drop link if the bush has gone and then worn badly. if you take the cap of the top mount [19mm nut underneath] then push down you and watch for play and feel for clicking around the rubber at the same time. I dont think its drop link and its just sounds too ...

Hi guys, I think I know what the problem is just want to run it past you lot in case it might be something else. I have clunk noise from the front, and I'm as sure as I can be its the RH side. My cars on 169K its a 316i (original top mounts to my knowledge), it happens more so when I hit a bump or w...

Linkage needs the rubber bit removing and bolting back together Also needed new engine mounts on mine Edit: I re-used everything off mine and ddn't get it tracked. It 'seems' ok. no uneven tyre wear etc. Will get it tested one day So you dont put the steering bush back in? what the steering like? d...

Ok thanks. As you said "all E30" could I get away with undoing my track rods on the E30 rack itself fitting the E46 rack and then doing the existing tie rods back up to the E46 rack? and not have to get it tracked? Being cocky I know lol

Morning gents, I have been ordering a few bits for my E46 rack conversion after finding out its a more direct fit than a z3 rack, the linkage doesn't need altering apparently?, and a hell of alot cheaper. So I have bought: e46 330d rack ending 067 - this is a 2004 e46 inner tie rods E30 track rod en...

When I was born and came out of hospital my dad had an e30 320i 2 door in red, which my Mum convinced him to buy over the crap fords he was always buying, got brought home in that, and it went from there really, my Dads had nothing but BMW's since, and i've never wanted any other make. Had a rover m...

Seats look awesome mate, hope you were happy with them

I've thought of a pretty good location, britains longest green? Its about 2 minutes from Hilltop garage (Stroud) on the A38... There is also pub there, or a cafe by the canal??? good place for some pics too

I owned an E34 525i sport in diamond schwartz, was in good nick generally had done 200k, I redlined it everyday and almost everywhere, never ever let me down, was v quick once moving, especially past a ton. Once did a drive gloucester - coventry and back spot on 70 the whole way and back, managed 38...

What about the old truck stop by slimbridge??

I bought an e30 towbar off of here, can't remember the guys name, its got the removeable towball, and the wiring harness that you can plug in. So before I drill the hole throught the rear of the car and feed the cable in I plugged it in to make sure it all works, so i've figured out the plugs that g...

They really are bullet proof. My Dad when he had an E30 320i as a company car was told by his Managing director to blow the engine up to get a replacement under warranty (I think it had something small go wrong with it) on the way to BMW my dad bounced it off the limiter the whole way there and all ...
