Thank you - and any recommendation for a reasonable priced but reliable supplier? I'd rather pay the extra for the quality.

Afternoon all - just wondering if anyone had any positive/negative views on ride height for their BMW? Car is too low at present and I want to raise it but I don't know what the ideal suspension kit would be to buy to allow the car to be a daily driver and good over humps etc... but still giving it ...

Fingers crossed for a broker spring - if that is the case I would replace both springs at the back (although they are not that old!), any suggestions on best place to get them from...?

I'll take a look at the weekend when its dry and I can get it out the garage and up on the axle stands!

Afternoon all! My right rear suspension has collapsed - any thoughts as to what this might be!? Car has been in garage for nearly 2 years now and only got it out a month ago and noticed it! As its raining, I haven't been underneath it yet as would have to get it out the garage to look, not enough ro...

Hi Grrrmachine - thanks! Re point 1) I may need the mod team to do this for me as I have not been on here in so long and I cannot remember how to do this! Its certainly not a deliberate action! 2) Had a read, so this explains the temperature gauge going up with the engine temperature but then fluctu...

Hoping someone can offer their expertise, I had a trawl through the forum to see if there was a response to this sort of issue already so apologies in advance if I am boring any of you. Car starts and runs fine but the temperature gauge seems to have a mind of its own going up and down slowly when i...

Hoping someone can shed some light!!! My beloved E30 325i Convertible seems to have some sort of overheating/temperature issue. Never goes into the red (possibly as I have a kenlow fan fitted) but the temperature guage will randomly go up and down when I am in traffic and moving. Had a similar probl...

Thanks for the input so far, I have a Kenlow fan fitted as I mentioned on the car so it cant be the viscous fan as there isnt one! Thanks for the advice Brianmoooore - I am an optimist to I will be counting my chickens and hope that it is not the head gasket and will go down the route of the water p...

Have a mysterious problem! When I drive my car it is heating up fairly quickly - usually I have to sit shivering for 5-10 minutes till heat starts coming out and then its nice and toasty! Temp Gauge never goes above the half way point and I have a Kenlow fan (fitted 4 years ago). Last week I was dri...

Got to be honest, as a newby to this site (but quite an intelligent chap I would like to think) I was a bit put out when you commented this on one of my first ever posts as well! Not exactly useful, and putting other people off dealing with me when I was only raising a general enquiry... I am yet to...

Do like the look of the rims, but agree with what most are saying, difficult to get many straight BBS these days! I wouldnt wan to be responsible for one blowing on someone elses pride and joy!

e30topless - thank you very much for your open and honest opinion! Much appreciated!

If you could avoid selling yours on ebay till mine is done it would be muchly appreciated

Cheers!!

Best response yet, thank you! It has no major marks and after your post I had a closer look at it and there is indeed some blue stitching around the parts not too used.

Going back to the dials, I'll get some pics up of that and the wooden gearstick and hope someone can shed some light!

Pleeeeeeeeease dont rub it in re the staggered, would love a set of them but appears they are not only as rare as rocking horse @&%# but more like the Unicorn variety!!! Looks like I'll be trawling the ebay and swap sites to get one for a while yet! :x As discovered so far, useful help from everyone...

Thanks everyone for the info re e-bay etc, all valid points! Main question is still kind of still out there though, anyone know what the Alpina steering wheel might be worth...? And also as I said the Alpina dial cluster and wooden gearstick..? Obviously want to put them up as 3 seperate items so if...

Thanks for the feedback, its mainly so I put a respectable reserve on the ebay! I picked up a 320i convertible to strip for parts for my 325i convertible and this was on it along with the wooden Alpina gearstick, Alpina dash dials and a few other bits and bobs! Agree - not trying to sell here based ...

Not sure how to post pictures on here, so this is my first attempt! Fingers crossed below will be a picture of the steering wheel that I have! Not the exact one as it is still on the car I picked up today. I also have the original Alpina wooden gearstick and Alpina decal dials (speedo and rev counte...

Am currently running around on 3 x 16" Original Alpina wheels as one is ruined beyond repair + a BBS.

Anyone know where I can pick up just 1 original as I can find loads of sets but not just the one!

Have stalked EBay for a couple of weeks now with no luck, only sets!

Cheers all!

Cheers for the responses, as sods law would have it one side has got a hole the size of a fist below the line and some *@&% hit the other side when the car was parked and then buggered off! As its technically a cost saving exercise, going down that route would probably not save me any money over buy...

Anyone know where I can get a pair of front wings for my CONVERTIBLE E30...? BMW are expensive direct obviously and I didnt realise there appear to be no patent parts for them, anyone help point me in the right direction, or am I going to have to pay the max, car is due for a respray in a couple of ...

Mine are rotten and car is going in for a respray in a few weeks and I didnt realise how expensive these are from BMW direct, anyone know where I can get some aftermarket or other than Ebay as I seem to be having no luck!

Probably been mentioned on here hundreds of times before but having trawled through 20 or so pages havent found one yet! My fan is working on all the numbers but sounds like something has come loose/undone and rattles ridiculously on all settings and is not exactly effective at blowing out heat! Any...
