E30 Zone

If your running around pretending to be a BMW owner it's probably because subconsciously you miss your BMW, an your using all those nice chaps as an excuse. Eventually you'll wise up and buy another BMW. lol! possibly, I do aim to be back in a 325 next year and i do love BM's hence hanging around t...

I was a member...the only reason i joined in 2006 was so I could get to Gaydon and display my car . However after going to Gaydon again this year(when i wasnt a member but got my tickets just before my memebership expired) I got bored of the whole thing and sold the BM However i do still go along to...

Looks a stunner...any more pics?!

Ã‚£10,000 with approx 30k on the clock and FBMWSH for a 1991 J plate 2 door 325 SE in 1994

We still have the car now, with 75K on it. fabulous car and has required just servicing,a back box and a clutch slave cylinder in all that time..

I have 4 x TRX 240/45 tyres (on wheels)with 6-7mm of tread for sale .

Will have to collect from northamptonshire...PM me if your interested

A mint low mileage 740! That would be my choice for 5.5K..or maybe a 540..

More than likely , Yes Spadge...the response I had to my pistonheads ad was fantastic thou...if you want to sell a car, try that first is my suggestion.

Good question, I made the move from an E30 to an E34 and IMHO the e34 is a superior car in everyway. My E34 535 sport would muller my E30 325 SE in every respect and to be honest, I dont think the e30 is any more chuckable, the E34 certainly offered a better, well damped ride, had much more traction...

CR was lowered according to the bumph I have Andy

I had a live remap done by Mr Chip UK...guess i was one of the lucky ones!

The M30 in the E34 kicked out 211BHP, it was "detuned" to allow for unleaded fuel according to the roadtests ive got from the time..

My re mapped E34 M30 in my sport kicked out 223BHP.

Fantastic engine but torque wise you'll be ragging it to stay with a modern 2.0 turbo diesel.

I guess there must be a reason for it

Id guess to make it easier to do a pre stage burn out and get the tyres hot n sticky for a good launch off the line

Sorry to heat that mate, you did say the other week you was going to put the Ã¢â‚¬Å“new Ã¢â‚¬Å“ lump in it!

If its any consolation I came out to my car this morning and had no clutch so im badgering everyone for lifts to work at the mo as well!

Hope you get it sorted soon

Alfasud 1.5 Cloverleaf...flat 4 boxer engine way before Subaru made they layout known to the mass's Stunning piece of kit back in the 80's when I was 19.

MmmmÃ¢â‚¬¦you cant knock Honda engines really, the v tec system isn't a worry like the minefield of buying a car with the dreaded word Ã¢â‚¬Å“VanosÃ¢â‚¬a. Their Nicasil bores don't fall apart like BMWs did in the 90's. regardless of fuel,(which was a cop out IMHO, they just didn't make a durable eno...

I put my car on straight after bss325(sorry mate forgot your name) and it made 224BHP, which is fair enough for a remapped E34 535, 2 cars later a stock E34 535 made 209BHP so you would have to say the readings are not being "massaged" by the dyno..as all the other cars results indicated on the day....

As you enter Wollaston village on the A509 keep your eyes peeled some distance before hand for a motorbike on the pavement, it'll be the northants police camera bike, its very easy to miss it as they park up in a small portion of the pavement where a van couldnt and you really dont expect to see any...

On the flipside when most of these cars were produced mineral based were the only real available oils to the end user. Cheers Guy. So really they where designed to run on mineral by BMW and if its running good some 15 years or so later you'd have to say adding a top line fully synth oil now is a wa...

Are you after just an LSD or a whole car?

I swopped my E30 325 for an E34...never looked back...a decent E34 is so much more car for the Ã‚£ IMHO

That 540 looks very nice, didnt these suffer from the old nicasil issue? i guess if its still running well now at that mileage, its all OK

Sat navs are not 100% accurate either so dontrely on these totally, if you want your TRUE speed you need to run your car thru a proper timing trap...be prepared to be disappointed thou boys...my car was travelling at a true 135MPH at an indicated 150MPH...and my bike. well, an indicated 190MPH was a...

Great pics...was a good weekend too...hope it happens again next year

Take the battery off and invest in a trickle charger or be prepared to buy a new one after 3 months or so Engine wise you are best NOT running the car. Why? Most engine wear occurs on start up, so why start it when you don't really need ? If you have run the car for a while and its good n hot when t...

I THINK if he fills the tank up with petrol to dilute it, it should be fine

Correct or ??

Its 230BHP...i should hope you would, my brothers was only marginally quicker than my (manual) E34 535

very nice!

Where did you get the wheels from mate and what did they set you back?

ill give you a quick comparison for cone filters against standard ones; 1. standard air box and filter on 325 auto touring = 121mph (160,000 miles) 1989 g reg 2.cone filter of a universal fittment variety on same vehicle and tested in same conditions and same road = 135mph!!! lol! That comes in my ...

I believe you'd be best off saving your money and spending it elsewhere...or using it towards a tank of fuel and going somewhere for a drive...you aint going to notice any gains power wise in a 320 auto from a chip mate. ...and yes, i have had my car re mapped...it does feel a tad sharper but its ve...

You have to say if anyone has devauled the M brand, its BMW , they stick it on anything nowadays...M badge on a M Tec equiped car is OK IMHO...M3 or M5 or anything other than the genuine article is plain wrong.

I believe the E28 M30 lump is rated at 218BHP and all E34 lumps 211BHP due to changes to allow for running on un- leaded fuel when the E34 was introduced back in 1988...16 years later mine kicks out 206BHP so not too bad a loss over the years..
