I've one of these for sale along with the pre-amp (which fits under the ECU - drivers side so you could hook up the side-mirrow tweeters to it)

If i remember rightly you have to twist it away from you less than a 1/6 of a turn then straight up

That's fine by me - where do i send the bill

I wouldn't say pleased about the new car - more pleased that the beastie lives, now I just have to find someone who is going to look after her (I know that's a bit ironic as it was going to be scrapped)

I've been looking & shopping around a lot more since I started this thread & the best route seems to be a pre-registered 58/09 plate which offer about £40% less than new. Obviously no scrappage which is good news for ya'll as this way I can sell the beastie to someone who can keep it going for anoth...

I'm still trying to work out why you think the Fiat will be cheaper. Exactly it will depreciate massively, killing ANY savings you think you might be getting The 'one that makes decisions' is paying for half the monthly payments for the new car as she refuses to drive the E30 (scared of the power a...

If I can get a reputable person to help source, fit & tune an LPG system with all the gubbins I need spare-wheel tank, filler-nozzle, switches, etc (I've honestly no idea what is needed nor have any no-how on fitting) I MIGHT be able to convince financial support for the one that make decisions to g...

I really do appreciate ya'll persuading me to keep the beast - truly mean that (..hug..) I've had a fantastic time in it, just last weekend spending time in silverstone & taking the long way home to play on the twisties. Trip to Newquay, filling the car full of camping luxuries (gazebo, wood-burning...

That's right we will only ever have to pay £185. All very good points from everyone & I really want to keep Phillipa, just wish I had a garage, unlimited time & budget to bring it to better than factory spec

I have also toyed with the idea of an LPG. I don't know which end of the spanner works in the phillips screw-head thingy, so it'll have to be done by a pro (which costs more than the ones found after 10pm). Best quote i found was £1500 for 6 cylinders & a tank in the boot!!! I'm doing, on average, 2...

Fuzzy; I've seriously thought about that as an option; selling it privately or breaking it down for everyone to enjoy the bits that come off it, but I haven't got the space at home, nor the time to handle the strip down. I'm hoping to be back in the E30 fraternity soon enough (when I've a garage & w...

Stonesie; no offence taken on the route I've taken. I have to admit defeat in the running costs. New car is a Grande Punto 1.3d insurance is less than a third of what I'm paying; mpg is three times better, tax is non-existant, no MOT (for 3 years), warrantee & servicing included for 3 years. I would...

After being in the 325i Touring (& 1st E30) for three years; it's now come the time to part from it. Although I love the torque, speed, handling, you guys, the looks - not always in that order ;-) Now I'm doing 80+miles a day & since it's the main vehicle the wallet is lighter & lighter each month. ...

soz, was typing at work very quickly at during break time.

I've found the fault - a split air intake hose between the AFM at the manifold

This is a very strange one (which only seems to happen in the damp - like today). But 100% fine when warm & sunny. Trying to accelarate (anything over 2k rpm) the car judders & kangaroo's - almost like I'm blipping the throttle. Making pulling away very interesting. Also the autochoke is very indeci...

Lots of good communication, very fast responces to PM's & postage. It took my car about 250-300 miles (combined driving) to settle down - I'm quite happy to bin the factory chip 'cos it's never going near the car again after having ones of these little beauties. Definatly one of THE best drivability...

On my touring the rear-heat switch lights up when selected - thought they all came like that as I''m 99% sure mine hasn't been played with in it's previous life

Yay - cheers mate

Thanks for that tip, however on a tech 1 wheel can't find obvious mean to do so

4) External horn & protective covering are part 20 & 21 from :http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=AG52&mospid=47297&btnr=62_0066&hg=62&fg=40 Also - couldn't find a way to fit the indicator stalk - well TBH I couldn't even removed the trim from under the sterring column (could only find two...

this underdash panel is for sale if you want it.

PM'd

I've finaly plucked up the courage to takle this job myself (after two auto-electrical stores said no to taking on the job). Unfortunaly I hit a several snags: 1) Where to mount the relay unit (guide says above the ECU). I have the factory Blaupuhkt pre-amp unit there 2) Where to fit the internal go...

Hiya, Please could you raise a PO number (& prices) for the following parts please: Vehicle: '88 325i Touring Part numbers taken from realOEM 1) Rear wiper/wash switch '61311381647' 2) Rear speaker grill (left & right) '51471947415' & '51471947416' 3) Front/rear fog switch (can't find on realOEM) 4)...

Is it possible to get an /// badge, like the ///M badge but without the M. If so what would everyones opinion of that badge be? Yes http://www.eurobadgez.com/product_images/bmw_300.jpg I prefer this type of grill-badge as it matches the other m-tech badges & doesn't (to the uninitiated) look like i...

After many months scouring all the places I know, I finally obtained a *full* 12 button OBC kit (& paid over the odds for it) ready for retro fitting onto my 325 Touring - yay!!! Having read through the guide on the E30Wiki I'm now very dubious of being able to fit this myself without braking someth...

that needs to go straight onto the wiki pages

good job for explaining simply (comnparitively)

Thanks mate, have to admit it's the first time selling something over the 'net - so I hoped I did good. (it's always nice to have genuine 'gentlemans' agreements being upheld) Although it was a funny sight seeing me run around all the shops, nieghbours and flat mates trying to find some parcel tape ...

I've got one of those (with the extra pieces, with the with a less than 100miles used K&N cone filter (with all correct brackerty for a 325i) & cleaning fluids, for sale The only thing I can report on was a lovely induction roar around 3-5k, which kept encouraging driving around between 3-5k, but di...

Very interesting positioning of the decals, think you've chosen to two most difficult areas to place them - good effect though

how about a 6000cc V8?

I think we have all summed it up quite nicely. It doesn't matter what peoples understanding of the 'classic' status is, we all love the E30 in which ever guise. Mine owes me over £3000 just in purchase & maintenance (no trick bits or upgrades) and I'm quite happy to pay that again over the next few ...

..or is it already? Ignoring the M3's, Schnitzer's & Alpina's for the moment because the more desirable, rare ones will always be appriciated. How about the Is's, Sports & even standard 325's. if kept in 'nearly-new' condition, can they be used to hold money (as an investment)? Example: buy a half-d...

I've often wondered if you loose any no-claims bonus if for windscreen replacement?

I saw the M-Tech ones available from USA for Ã‚£120 (not $) each!!!
