E30 Zone

Morning. Managed to smash my drivers door glass on my 1990 325 convertible at 3:50am. Stupid work start times. Anywho. Does any other e30 glass fit and if not, is anyone close to Coventry with one for sale?
It’s not the little fixed “d” glass, it’s the main up and down glass I’m after. Thankyou

Everything is still attached to the engine and still in the car. That’s correct, the studs at the end of the manifold to connect to the downpipe. I’ve owned the car nearly 15 years, my daily driver, and all I’ve ever read is horrer stories of snapped bolts in the head trying to remove the manifold i...

I removed the whole exhaust from the manifold down pipe back. Putting it back on I’ve manage to strip 2 of the 4 threaded bars. Is there anyway of removing these without taking the engine out. M20b25

I may have lost one of the cylinder shape pins for the handbrake mechanism. I’ve looked on real oem but they only show the smooth one. I’ve possibly lost the other one with the 2 grooves in. From that explanation does anybody have a clue what I’m on about and can I still get one?

thanks brian. will keep my fingers crossed for these

just dropped the rear beam to re bush/ brake lines hard and flexi and found a snapped spring. has anyone recently bought standard springs from anywhere. i dont mind brand as long as its standard/oem height weight. euro said no and car parts for less didnt answer.

do you have any front valance left. looking for a facelift one. thanks

No problem. Just ordered 2 Febi. Hopefully ECP won't feck up and will get them in for tomorrow. Thanks for the quick reply.

Does anywhere sell the front wheel bearings on there own or is it the hub and bearing only

Where's best to get 51mm b4s from. Euro and gsf only have boge and demon tweeks don't want to answer the phone. I've seen people say bilstein themselves take an age.

where can i get clutch packs from for my 3.73 lsd. read ford and porsche do/may fit. found drive&traction but no phone number.

sorry maxfield. you know doubt did and ive missed it. i wasnt planning on lowering the subframe. was gonna unbolt the wishbone and take it out the bush then use the tool to remove and replace the bush. sounds easy when i write it like that but know it isnt

2006 mini failed mot on rear brake pipes. tried searching and real oem but cant find anything for pipe size ie 3/16 or flare type, does anyone know off hand so i can get it in before hand. gotta do the wishbone bushes as well this weekend, lots of new swear words at hand. thanks

yeah. read somewhere else about sharp edges, it was more the fact if it wasnt there. i suppose the other areas the valance covers would be considered sharp. i'll go with replacing the valance i think. would mean getting my brother to weld a new corner each end of the valance and that would be a when...

dont know if ive posted in the right place but does anyone know if the car needs the front valance on for an mot. ive took mine off to repair the 2 rust holes where the valance meets the arch/ maybe replace the valance but wanted to get it in for an mot seems as im off all week. so would they want t...

got the dowty washers. put them on, tightened up, no leak. job done. thanks for the help people

how many new copper washers did u use slideout. ive used 4 so far. same drip. ive got got bolt, washer,banjo,washer,pump. its all original on mine. i'll try alloy washers next.

its leakin from the outside washer. definitely not down the pipe.

power steering fluid still dripping from the larger banjo bolt going into the pump. new bolt and new copper crush washers. its dripping enough to be noticeable ie a drip every 10 seconds or so.

not what sytner bmw in coventry came up with. will ask why when/if the parts guy gets back to me

never knew of etk in my ignorance, only real oem. do the dealers not use/know of etk. will ring them this morning with a part number now and see. thanks for the offer bosers.

didnt even comw up pirtek when i searched coventry. when to the dealers after looking on real oem and theyre gonna email germany monday as the part number is no longer there for the larger of the 2 bolts

stupidly snapped the larger of the 2 banjo bolts going into the power steering pump. so need a new one. are these bolts dealer only or can i pick them up at halfrauds?

will giv it a try. not sure if i've got a bit that small, but

got a cordless dewalt of used in the past to drill out a caliper bolt that held it to the leg? got a major mains powered drill also. cant believe this happened now. rebuilding the whole rear end this weekend as i need to move my car. gettin new brake pipes and flexis friday. the others came undone n...

what are my chances of drilling out the rest of my bleed nipple? snapped flush with the caliper after a week of wd40

m20 b25 touring. every now and then my clutch pedal has no resistance until the very bottom of travel. to get my pedal back i dab it a couple of times then it operates as normal. will my master and slave need replacing or should i try bleeding it first.

ok. sounds promising. thank you

been trying to post a pic of my part. it ran down the passenger side sill with 2 or 3 other slimmer pipes. definately thought it was a fuel pipe and it is the same shape as the one in the link where as the othe ris straight.? mine is a 1990 cabby, auto. 325i

looking for part number 11. removed this from my cabby as it looked like the bow of the titanic compared with the other pipes it ran with to replace it.

ok brian. the part number u gave above is for the spring clips. i'll sort the 6 flexi hose part number as i have the rear discs. saw a flaring tool you said would work when i did a search earlier so will aaquire one of those. also saw someone say about using 1/4" cunifer for fuel lines as well? woul...

did it before and after i did the bearings and doesnt change with speed.

looking on ebay at cunifer and metric connections. Brake Piping 3/16" Cupro Nickel. Kunifer. Seamless 12 x 10mm x 1mm Male Ends, Long with Shoulder 12 x 10mm Female Ends it says the roll of cunifer is 25 feet. will that be long enough for front to back and the brake pipes at the rear. also does it m...

pap. oh well i'll go with bmwmad as he's only down the road and get a open diff if theres no reason to have the slipper. it's all off the car anyway. going for a clean and refurb on the underbody including all pipes, bushes and suspension. i've had the old bus for 7+ years and only done general mait...

just tested it. its not on the car but spinning one drive shaft turns the other the same way. next question is is there any reputeable diff rebuilders close to coventry. i'm only guessing the groaning/grinding noise is from the diff and not a drive shaft
