E30 Zone

The Becker Traffic Pros still look awesome, sound awesome, have sat nav and ipod connector. Almost the perfect retro looking head unit, plus they have the reverse illumination so they look great in the E30. I don't have a pic of mine in the E30, but this is the unit...... http://www.mbclub.co.uk/for...

The new 9880 alpine in amber looks good. Just seen one today.

All the press pics are green, but the amber is dark like the BMW lighting.

Why??

Does it look OEM??

A proud day when your kids appreciate a car!!

That steering wheel looks so much better!! I had a Sebring back box on it that was awesome, but it was a 2 piece system and I could not find a new centre box for it without it costing £300+ so went with that system to get a 3 piece system on the car, with the thought that another back box could go o...

Probably. Or...... I have just been through all this with my 325i, started with a hesitation coming off idle, and slowy progressed to trying to catch it so it didn't stall when coming back off throttle. I cahnged the..... throttle body TPS intake pipes leads cap temp sensors plugs exhaust manifold g...

Got me out of a right pickle.

Sent me an ECU on trust before receiving payment, many thanks, really appreciated.

And putting that people can negotiate is a bad move because of lot of people don't want to or simply don't know how to. You are best to stick a car at the lowest you are prepared to sell it and get some interest, they may fall in love with it and pay that price, even if it was a little higher than t...

Totally agree, the market is dead! You have to have something really special to sell at the moment. There are some nice Sports out there with 100k on them going for £3500 when you ask what they actually sold for. I would say ebay is the best judge of what things are really worth, you can see what th...

Blaupunkt Madison looks quite good too......

Becker/BMW Indianapolis is the best one to get, this was it in my 530i... http://www.zen104526.zen.co.uk/530/indi2.jpg Fits in the E30 perfectly, this is a better pic of the unit in the 530i..... http://www.zen104526.zen.co.uk/530/indi1.jpg http://www.zen104526.zen.co.uk/530/IMG_1681%20%5b50%25%5d.j...

Got back into work today and mine was there, thanks Dan.

Yeah, sorry!

They will be going on too. ;)

You bought anything else yet or sticking with the Bike now the summer is here?

It's staying mate.

All bushes being replaced over the next couple of weeks. And as funds allow I will put an M-Tec kit on it, a limited slip diff, tech II sterring wheel and a Z3 steering rack.

Have new discs and brakes sat here along with a master brake cylinder from a 750i.

There was a report out showing that for an average family, 2 people earning Ã‚£40k a year, doing 12k miles, with a 3 bed house, with 2 kids we are now paying around 40% more tax than in the year before labour got in. Those that earn the big money are better off, and those that are on the lowest inco...

Problem is it is too late for that, with over 80% of our goods coming from overseas all it would do in the short term is make everyone worse off, meaning the economy slows down, house prices tumble, small retailers go bust, people loose their jobs and the country goes into a massive recession. :( We...

I found a list of my incomings and outgoings the other day, it was done for the bank when we moved 4 years ago, I was amazed just how much cheaper everything was, fuel was only Ã‚£180-200 a month and there was a receipt for BP at 69p litre for diesel, I paid 1.26 the other day and it cost me Ã‚£76, ...

Credit Card is what I usually use to get badges off, get it right in and they pop off.

If you can get mine out mate that would be great, my car is up on the ramp on Sunday and Monday have all new bushes in, so to get this in as well would be great!!

But no rush. ;)

Last E30 325i was made 4/93, so I guess an L plate could be possible??
If it was made in April and arrived in May/June the buyer may have waited until the L plate in August, people did used to hang on for 2 months to get the new plate when they came out only once a year.

Excellent!!

yeah do, cut wires always look daunting, but turn out to be quite easy to sort and extremely satisfying when you do.

If it is a turbo then I am sure an increase from 115ps to 140ps is very do able. I would guess that a chip only would see this increase. My 325i sees around 24mpg on a run, a 2000 mile trip would have me filling up about 9 times. In comparison my E91 320d will do 48mpg at 85mph and is a hell of a lo...

Have a look at this thread....

Do the colours of the cables behind teh dash match??

Just crimp on a new iso connector and you are good to go.

Don't be so lazy!!

Undo the clips and drop the glovebox down.
You will see the accessory box.
Follow the wires from the radio to the block in the box and replace with the new one.

Total time around 4 minutes.

Total cost under Ã‚£10.

Total satisfaction? Priceless.

You will probably find that you have the correct end still in the accessory socket, so buy a loom from Halfords which is bare ends and use the connecter in your car. Solder and tape it and then wrap it to keep it neat. If you can't solder than buy a pack of crimps, just remeber to cut the wires at s...

I can honestly say that Bluespot is the worse company I have ever had the displeasure to deal with. I got my mate to go with a Blaupunkt amp for his car, he ordered the Blaupunkt plug and play amp and the cable for a 2003 E46, they had the wrong part listed, as they had a round pin cable for 2001 on...

The E39 530i could well be the best all round BMW have ever made, style, comfort and driveability, but I would take the 330i everytime. ;)

Mine is sagging a bit at the back and a little bit grubby, I think I am going to take mine off and dye it black, then put it back up properly.

I have been though loads of subs and the most musical one so far has been the Aliante 10". I got this into a 4" deep cabinet and attached it to under the parcel shelf, then removed the rear speakers and put grilles into to let the bass come through. You can pick these up used on www.talkaudio.co.uk ...

Bought some bushes from Toby, pleasure to deal with and he always has loads of bits on his site too.

Well recommended.

Haha, my dog loves the sofa too, and lies on his back with his legs in the air!! Bizzare!! I am keeping the car for now, mainly because of some personal reasons which have meant buying/selling cars at the moment is the last thing on my mind. Thanks to everyone who showed an interest and the kind wor...

Can you price up the following please??? I would also like to put upgraded topmounts in, I know some people use E46 mounts, some from a 330i some from an M3, mine is a touring and I think I read that the ones from the cab are best?? So top mounts from front and rear too please. 325i touring 1988. ST...
