how about the hoses going in and out of the heater matrix, thats near the back of the engine, you check those hoses, theyre only little ones!

hi there guys, just wondering if a 316 and 318 share the same radiator? my 318i is having overheating issues, ive been fairly thorough and am working through by process of elimination. I have flushed and bled the system I have replaced with a second hand rad from scrappy new viscous coupling new the...

hi everyone a friend of mine has a 318i m40 and is having problems with overheating. He is acumilating pressure and is having to daily release pressure from his bleed valve on his radiator. It appears that the lower pipe that goes from the rad to the block is stone cold and soft, whereas the top pip...

guys i also have a 320 cab but currently have a 325i lump in it. i am planning to replace my suspension to get thru the MOT but i am a little unsure about something. With all this talk of 325i struts, will i need to aquire some as the are more heavyweight as i still have the standard 320 struts in. ...

im not sure but if your fully comp it may be covered in your windscreen cover and may only cost you your excess.
i read it in a magazine a while back and checked it when i got insured with tesco, and they do that if your comprehensive.
maybe a cheaper option for you mate?

mate, where is this garage based?
im in hounslow too

lol, it already has a m20 2.5 engine in there man, but im proper brass so i dont really wanna pour money into it. How much do guys reckon the value in spares is and insurance value, just considering all my choices!

what do you guys reckon a 320i cab is worth? mines is in diamond black, has an electric roof, cloth sports seats, automatic sports gearbox, original 15inch bbs, odd few scuffs on body work, but nothing of concern. its a 1991 H plate on about 116 k. just blew my head gasket and weighing up my options...

i only have one button on my fob, which closes all four windows when i lock the doors. Only worked it out when Quaser was playing around with my fusebox, i think its fuse 30 that controls the standard alarm if i remember? Not sure about sunroof as i have 'the biggest one in the world', a cab!!! woul...

how many of you guys had total closure on your standard alarm? (if you still have it that is or can remember before you changed it to something MUCH more secure! ive got a 320 cab and one press on my fob, and all the windows go up. Havent come across any other e30's that do this. Any other alarm rec...

cheers bro, will definately have a go when i have some time.

wat type of paint did you use? What kinda of prep did you do other than sanding and would you reccomend taking the bumpers off the car?

mines is a facelift cab in met diamond black.
Its got the plastic bumpers

i know that there was an earlier thread similar, but what can i do to restore the scuffs that are on the black plactic on the bumpers on my cab?
Im talking about those little parking scuffs on the corners.
It really bothers me, especially after a good car wash!
cheers guys.

hey guys, was wondering what the main differences between the two blocks in the title are. I know that the m42 is 16v, but thats about it. Are all the other compnents the same such as the breathing gear, as i am looking at induction kits for a 318i, and im wondering if i can use parts advertised for...
