iirc, BMW had a thing a few years back saying that any BMW engine will fit into any BMW.
To prove their point they stuck a V12 from E38 750 into a Z3!

So in answer to your question....

I'm not saying I like it or not but surely as the reg plate reads "FPURISTS" the owner has got the reaction he wants from you all!!

Mine is leaking here, just behind carpet in passenger footwell, brake servo is on otherside of silver plate!!

just stick beardymats up there, before and after! Should prove inspiration for others! It's convinced me to sort out the sh*tter in my garage after folowing him to Gaydon last week!!

And I would've gotten away with it too if it weren't for you pesky kids!!

taxi for one!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The safest / best approach might be to use the 3rd party wirirng and find a way to mate their loom to the OEM switches. It can't be that difficult as it's not the most complicated system in the world. If I were doing it to mine this is how i'd do, I'm assuming the 3rd party loom comes with the 3rd ...

But the tech 2 was brought out as part of BMW's Quality Enancement programme to get rid of the chrome wrongness!!

I've got a little bit on the bonnet that just needs touching in!!

The joy's of tabbed browsing!!

You sure you haven't just scanned in some pictures from the brochure??

I don't mean to be rude, but how of that car left the factory in '88?

That is one clean motor you got there!!

Just try ringing a couple of fast fit places in the morning, if they can't beat it then Robert will be your Mum's brother!!

Price seems good, what warranty does it come with though? You don't really want to be spending Ã‚£52 again in 8 months time................

NOT Halfords because they want Ã‚£80 for one! I managed to get one from stealers for Ã‚£53 so there is some margin on them for them to reduce if your clever at bartering!

Have a look under the bonnet for the black reservoir!!!

That sounds about right to me, I'll be getting on M18 at J4 at about quarter past seven to get to Tibshelf for 8.
I reckon you'd prob need to leave just before seven if you wanted to roll in to services at same time (obviously if your going to be keeping to 70mph

)

Try Swiftcover??

For our Clio Direct Line wanted Ã‚£350, Swiftcover - Ã‚£150!!

ECU arrived today, (fecking royal mail slackers) cheers mate!!

I've now got a rusty turd that starts and runs in my garage!!

Very Happy with Wullie, not so happy with the tasks ahead of me now!!

Soon as it get's dark.

Does that mean you have to change it earlier in the winter??

I've been searching for a couple of days now for a bit of help/advice/tips for diagnosing a non-start 325i After searching for the words "crank sensor test" I managed to find this post after reading a dozen of half posts where the fault seem to be cured by magic! I was surprised by how many posts ar...

Only differences I saw in spec was some had a headunit, others didn't - they just had a carbon plate in it's place,
Apart from that it was just the wheels i seen you could get that differed.

Oh and if you had a racing licence you could get one without 155mph limit on!

Look at E46 CSL, Different bumpers, "real" sport seats, higher output engine, different suspension setup, different steering setup, different brakes, lighter wheels, semi-slick tyres, plastic bootlid, lots of carbon inside. It basically became an uncomfortable car to use frequently due to it's lack ...

i have heard about the e39 auto dipping mirror and people who have been ripped of on ebay over them as the mirror has a seperate control unit and it will not work without it im not 100% but i dont think the control box can be removed as its part of the dash electrics. ....when removed from a e39 th...

The E39 M5's V8 sounded better IMO. I think new M3 has gone a bit too upmarket, there's gonna have to be a CSL version out for those who want to see it get back to its roots.

Or a 135iCSL!!

What I remember of them is poor brakes, (feels like they forgot to put a servo on!) :eek: And its a bloody long bonnet (that you can't see the end of) so its always worth sticking the lights on to give you an idea of where the car ends!! :mad: The centre console makes it feel snug inside, and with t...

I've been looking on the ETM and it shows a relay that is controlled by the code function of the OBC, can anyone tell me whereabouts it is please?

PS it would probably be better if you told me by PM due to its function!!

Thanks

Dan!

One of the pipes (I think the left) has a flap inside to close it off under certain conditions such as warm up and i think over-run aswell (it's in the tailpipe) this flap is controlled by the DME so if you fit a none-approved system without this jobbie the exhaust operation/effeciency will be affec...

tbh its the father in-law's so i'm gonna need the results, especially as I'm quite attached to my manhood lol!

I've tried to persuade him to let me find one that doesn't need as much work but he says it has to be THIS car, trouble is, rust doesn't give a flying crap about sentimental value!!

What the hell happened to the bonnet Looks like it hasnt moved for quite a while!! It was probably just a stone chip that got over looked! Car hasn't turned a wheel for 4 years (I think thats when tax ran out!) I was contemplating bmwe30mtech's 318is and just swap motors but that sold too quick!! H...

Hi there, just thought I'd introduce myself and post some pictures of my "project." This car will be, over the next few months, restored to its former glory so I'll be lurking around the for sale section if anyone wants me! The car is a diamond black 2-door 325i SE with the Sport options ordered fro...
