E30 Zone

Hi guys,

Has anyone had any dealings with Bill and Jason in the E30 center of late? I've tried both numbers but no answer.

Hello,

Just looking for a price for the fuse box cover for a 1992 E30 cab, the p/n is 61131368802 (i think)

Thanks in advance,

Regards

Mac

Thanks Brian,

Will check the brake lights and indicators.
I have a feeling that the alternator is playing up, Im going to ask my auto electrician to troubleshoot it and take it from there then.

Hi All, A few months back someone attempted to steal my cab. In the process, the ignition switch was damaged. The ignition switch was repaired and steering column plastics were replaced also. So the next step was roof replacement. I started the car and found two new faults. 1. Wipers and windscreen ...

Just called Bill and had a quick chat with him. They're still in the same place and he says he has no intention of going anywhere else. Its good to know that they're still going. Like you said Gert, as a fall back. I've had a look at some threads here and I might just make sure my roof is folding ri...

Hi Gert, I had heard that too but I heard last year that they were still open..

I had the car with them in 2008 and they seemed like sound lads who knew their stuff..

Thanks Gert, thats interesting.

If anyone has any further tips, Im all ears.

I was close to booking a ferry last night and making a trip to the E30 Center in Darlaston. Long trip from the south of Ireland.. Ive never been able to find anyone here brave enough to work on an E30 Electric roof..

Now that cab weather has come along, my lid is still rattling when I've the roof lowered.

I checked the lid (horseshoe) and it looks like it could be better locked by the 2 claws on either side..

Thanks Pete, I thought the cable on the right in the pic looked loose. Any pics I've seen seem to show cables that are tighter.

Sorry, should have said, Electric roof.

Hi All, The Horseshoe on my cab isnt closing fully. I think the roof is folding flat but on inspection, Ive noticed that the cables appear stretched. Has anyone ever changed these cables before? have a look at the pic.. Apologies for pic quality.. http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k60/Dillinger_02/H...

You think thats bad? I live in Ireland...

Jason is no longer there, Bill wont be for much longer either so if you cabby types want your hoods setting up properly you better get your skates on Anyone been to the E30 center lately? I had my cab with them in 2007 and was going to make a trip back to have the roof looked at again. Are they sti...

Hi All,

I have a cab and its missing the carpeted cover that hides all the roof motors and wiring in the boot.

Just wondering if any of you have any idea what the part no is for this or if they can be got secondhand?

Thanking you. Mac.

No sign of it on Real OEM, it looks like it broke due to the L-Shaped mechanism (that the shock strut attaches to) wasn't lubricated at the joints. I'll post up a pic later.

Hi Daimlerman, Thanks for the pic. The part thats damaged on mine appears to be part of the structure of the car. I've drawn an arrow over on your pic to show where my damage is. http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k60/Dillinger_02/E30Engine.jpg Might have to get a piece made up and welded in. I dont ...

No Ranchero, Definitely not the strut. Strut seems ok. I compress the strut and it extends no problem.

Bracket got damaged, the mechanism became stiff and I'd say someone who wasnt familiar with closing the bonnet didnt close it too gently. Best thing to do might be to take a pic and post it.

Hi All. Im having some trouble with the mechanism that keeps bonnet in the raised position. The bonnet releases and opens ok. My problem is with the mechanism itself. In the diagram below, Part 7 is attached to a bracket. Can anyone tell me if this bracket can be bought or is it part of the main ske...

Very best of luck with it, shes a beauty. If it were mine, I'd leave her as is, factory original cars are a rare sight these days. Lets hope you get a summer so you can use it as intended.

Here's one of mine, cant wait for the fine weather to come around again...

And with the daily driver..

I was there, no E30 with me this time just a rented C class Merc.

And I met Cliffy and his mint cab...

B7 really liked your cab also...

Good day out. pity the weather wasn't like last year..

Hi SS Bob,

Lovely cab, i saw this for sale and if I hadn't bought one already i'd have snapped this one up. I have a similar car, black 1992 325i auto, only mine has a beige leather interior.

Best of luck with her and hopefully we might get this indian summer they're always banging on about.

Very nice, looks lovely.

Mac

Very nice, looks great. The lads in the E30 center know thier stuff, better off take it to them rather than let some half wit at it. Worth the trip up to Brum.

best of luck with the motor, I hope the weather is being kinder to you than it is to this cab owner

Well Done mate, its a credit to you. i hope you get the weather to enjoy it. I was with Jason and Bill last year to have my leccy roof sorted. Really are top blokes who know thier stuff. I came all the way from southern Ireland, I couldn't find anyone in Irl with thier expertise. Couldn't recommend ...

Thanks for the replies Lads, i'll probably start with a de-chromed one for a kick off and see how that looks.

Thanks again,

Mac

Hi All I have a cab that has an electric aeriel. I feel that when its raised, it spoils the lines of the car. Its like a giant lighning conductor. Has anyone looked into an alternative? The later E36 convertibles have a neater smaller one in a fixed position near the boot on the passanger side.. Tha...

Thanks Feens, Hopefully we'll get a better summer than last year and I'll get her top down a bit more..

I'm sure we'll end up at a meet during the summer...

I've heard about Champ's car, hopefully I'll get a look at it some day..

If I recall correctly, they're about Ã¢”š¬40 from your local friendly BMW dealer, the thing is you have to supply the last 7 digits of your chassis no and they order it in. (I think) The same happened mine, got home took the key out and the engine stayed running. I had to deliberately stall it to sh...

Here you go.. http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k60/Dillinger_02/325iblack.jpg http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k60/Dillinger_02/325iblack2.jpg It looks a little tidier now as I replaced all the bumper mouldings and those little spring loaded flaps near the hood mechansim. There are a few little ma...

Hey very nice car, I'm in the same boat as you, bought my first E30 last year, 48K on the clock, same as it left the factory, very similar to yours only I have beige leather. i'll see if I can dig out a pic..

Roll on the fine weather!!!

Steve CRX, just saw your post about the road tax, The green movement here are increasing it by about 10% so it'd be up around the Ã¢”š¬900 for 12 months for a 325i. I only tax mine for 6 months, ie the summer months, about Ã¢”š¬500. That figure is for cars already on Irish plates. The thing is from ...

Mine does the same!!! I'm not alone!!! I thought it was just something i could never put my finger on.

Hey saw it at Gaydon, fabulous car. best of luck with the sale.
