E30 Zone

Biz I worked for went pop just before Christmas so pretty much sold everything I owned to pay bills...sob sob, lol. Want to buy it back but the guy is an a hole and wants 4k for it, he's not short of a few quid so he won't bend on it. Looks awesome now too, had just had the wheels powder coated and ...

As above, is it possible to convert a e30 motorsport convertible to manual transmission? Nice one on ebay but really dont want an auto and desperate to get another e30, sold mine when I was skint and could kick myself, the bloke I sold it to wants almost double back...idiot Cheers for any advice/ th...

What engine stand would you guys recommend, just about to embark on a little rebuild project.

Many thanks

started working again today....chuffed. One less thing to fix for now!

Sounds like that could be it. Dont suppose you know exactly what it's called do you? Thanks for your response.

Gents when driving in a fashion that can only be described as 'spirited' the m20 seems to hesitate then clear and continue to pick up like normal. Although, maybe just me but have noticed that the old girl does seem a little down on power?!! Any thoughts?

Hi all, just on the way home from work and stuck the indicator on to go left and the light on the dash just stayed lit and didnt flash? Any thoughts on whats up. Just spent a wedge on the car so hoping for a quick/ easy fix? Could it be a relay? Thanks in advance.

Hello all, car is off the road at the minute so thought I would take this opportunity to treat it to some new suspension goodies. Thought I should put it to the masses on what is considered to be the optimum setup. I was looking into getting a basic coilover kit for a 40 - 60mm? (not sure what is be...

Just got my car back from the garage where its been stored for the last six months. Had a flat battery and wouldnt turnover when I got there. Out come the jump leads and she fired up straight away! Bonus. Driving it back though it seemed down on power in the lower rev range and general doesnt sound ...

Thanks daimlerman, thats exactly what I wanted to hear re how easy they come apart/ go together.

Thanks, will keep you posted on how I get on.

Thanks for that guys cant wait to get it started now...will speak to the chaps that do the machining about bearings. Dont suppose if anybody knows how to remove the dowels from the block in order to allow it be machined down by 2mm? Or do they have to be removed at all? (as you can tell...not an eng...

Thanks for the response guys...

Does anyone know where I get the bearing that I need to put on the flywheel end of the crank? (the 2.7eta is from an auto and apparently it will need this bearing fitting?? Part numbers?

Thanks

Hello all, Just after confirmation that what I intend to do is correct. Currently in the process of purchasing an early 2.7 eta. Going to shave 2mm of the block and combine it with my late 325i pistons and head as advised, then get a cam and vernier to adjust timing. Will also be fitting the sump fr...

Appreciate that, trusay it does look well. Parts will be ordered come pay day!!!

Thanks for the advice though. Gonna try kiln sand at low pressure to start with as you suggested.

I have done a bit of blasting in the past and am gonna refurbish my wheels over the next couple of weeks? Got a single bag glemco pot and lines...just need an opinion on what media would be best suited to alloys, considering how soft they can be. Everything I have used in the past would be much to h...

Hello all,

Trying to find someone to refurb my wheels locally. My old man wants his RS6's wheels doing aswell. Really want a top job so would consider going out of my way for a pucker job. I have 17inc alpina replicas but want them powder coating black.

Anybody know anyone.

Thanks

Hello All, Just bought a set of the above for my tech 2. Not all of them have spigot rings. Could do with a bit of friendly advice from somebody that has done this before. Could do with an idea of what length wheelbolts/ studs I need to get? What spigots? How many spacers, if required? and most impo...

again, thanks for the advice!

Thanks, yeah I disconnected the battery when I first got out of the car. Just checked the car, no damaged wires and cant really smell the burnt plastic either - weird! Two fuses have gone in the fusebox. I'm gonna see what these are attached two, think one is the speedo and try and track it down tha...

Driving back from the airport yesterday evening when I court a wiff a strong smell of burning plastic. Thought it must be outside and thought nothing of it for a couple of minutes until the inside of the car began to fill with smoke and the dials started going awal! e.g. fuel gauge all over the shot...

Thanks chap.

Any thoughts on the above? Opportunity has arisen to get my hands on the above motor, but unsure as to whether this is a worthwhile engine swap? Anyone done this before that can give me a few pointers - it would be going into my 91 mtech.

Regards

Just after the consensus of opinion on this topic? Any thoughts on the difficulty of achieving this?

Ta for the response. Bentleys it is then!

Hello all,

Any body know where I might be able to find a haynes manual for my 91 325i sport?

Cheers

Can anyone give me an indication of how difficult it would be to get hold of a kit if poss or the part fabricated to get some 15 in BBS wheels off an e30 m3 to fit my e30 325 Sport 2?

Any guidance would be appreciated.
Cheers
