Are they directional tyres as I had this problem due to a tyre the wrong way round.

Just found this looking on google, the last bit of the first post should help you

I would just try taking it it to your mot place, they are qualified people and if they will put on paper what your engine is then i would think the dvla will take that

Iv used a letter from my mot place for this although i did give the dvla the engine number too,, the mot bloke just stuck his head under the bonnet to make sure everything looked ok and then gave me a piece of headed paper from his garage saying everything was ok, got the v5 after a couple of weeks

Absolutly spot on perfect, fair play mate

You'v started a thread now dude, that means a weekly update with pictures so get your finger out!!!!! Cant wait to see it!!

Ok thats great, thanks fuzzy

Just a quick one guys and gals, what ratio diff would be in my 89 325i touring from standard? Im hoping to get a slipper and would like to keep the ratio the same, cheers all

Just a quick thanks to Brianmoooore for the sound info, had a look today and all i can work out is that it was either loose or not connected but without knowing where it was i dont think i would have found it, its working fine now, nice one

This is something iv needed to do on mine for ages, its already got the first and last studs snapped by a previous owner and iv bought the gaskets but i havnt got the guts to try and undo the rest, it blows ever so slightly making the tappy noise but im not getting fumes inside the car, i can just t...

Are you going to remove those racing style bonnett pins, iv been looking for a set of those for ages and also how did you get the windscreen so clean??

Ok thats worth a look but i still dont get why theres no power at the motor, i wonder if theres anything between the switch which has power and the wirings journey to the back,, i imagine theres a broken wire somewhere but short of ripping the wiring out to check it i think i can live without it, i ...

As above, iv checked the power at the motor and there isnt any, iv checked the wires from the motor to under the headlining and nothings broken, theres power at the switch and the switch works. Is there any relays anywhere because i cant see any in the manual. It worked when i first got the car then...

Great project you've got there, cant wait to read more!!

Iv bought some of these 4 stud motorsport wheels and i know they're not the best loved wheels for an e30 but i quite like them, what id like to know is will they fit on my touring if i fit 225/45.17s all round, the offset is et20 which im sure is right but has anyone done this, prefferably with pict...

Front needs to go down on mine!!

On my touring everytime it rains or it gets washed i get a drip from the back of the headlining onto the luggage cover. I dont think its the boot seal as it looks ok but the sunroof never looks to seal properly, is there any drain holes in the roof that could be blocked or does anyone know where i c...

Well iv just swapped them over and the new one was no different to the original apart from the the original had a code ending in 380 and the new one i tried ended in 173, didnt make any difference in how it drove though

Haha nice plug speedtouch, ill give you a call if this one doesnt work out. Thanks for all your input everyone, much appreciated, ill let you all know what happens with it

I suppose it could have been reprogrammed, i guess ill have to wait for the weekend and plug it back in again with fingers crossed

Cant see any solder at all, the label is lifted though on three corners and its only just been opened after years of sitting in my mates shed and the tabs to open it looked like they had been played with before, thats why we thought something had been done

Here you go, hope this works

Dam ok, is there a chance then that its a sport one as opposed to a touring one, i only say because the revs seemed more snappy, ill give it a proper try at the weekend

Ok, iv just been given an ecu from a friend who believes it to be chipped, we quickly plugged it into my 325i touring and it fired straight up and seemed to rev slightly quicker but i couldnt take it for a spin because i need the car early tommorow and dont want to break it, the serial number on the...

Ok, cheers for the reply, i was kinda hoping someone would say e36 seats would fit as iv seen some nice ones on fleabay, aah well, back to the drawing board

What other seats from different BMW models will fit straight into an E30, it must have been asked before but i cant find anything and as my drivers seat is hanging its time to start looking for something else

Oh mines a TOURING is it?? Silly me!!!

Aah fair enough, to be honest if they stuck out much more they would rub the arch's but it does need to go up at the back, its just the way the kit lowered it but i will make changes

I think if i do anything to the height ill raise the rear slightly, i like the low look but its not very practical, why do you say the offsets wrong Jhonno, i thought it looked about right, do you think they stick out too far or too far in, the clearance is just right at the back and the wheels dont...

I think it needs to come down but its already got 60mm springs on the front, unless they got it wrong and gave me 40s or something, the only part that scrapes is the middle box and it scrapes bad, im going to have to try to bend it to get it closer to the floorpan, iv been on the lookout for an IS f...

Ok i couldnt have it lowered without wheels so i got a wicked deal on these from e-bay, hope you like http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p180/deano1351/21062008065.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p180/deano1351/21062008066.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p180/deano1351/21062008067.jpg

Iv found a place on flea bay that does them for £46 posted but iv just lost a genuine one on the bay for £27 posted, gutted. I dont really want to spend a fortune on one as its probably going to get torn off by a speedbump somewhere, so if anyones got a tatty one that i can restore then im all ears ...

Excellent, i best get hunting for one then, cheers

Would the lower front spoiler from a 318is or a325is fit straight onto my standard touring bumper? I love the look these give the front of an e30 and now im low it would finish it off a treat.

I must admit i think if i got a set i would miss the BBS's
