E30 Zone

Thanks

Appreciate that.

Hey guys I want to fit rear headrests to my touring and was looking for a how-to, im sure I spotted one here a year or so back but can’t seem to find it. I have the front and rear headrests and runners from a donor car and was wondering how it was done, from memory im supposed to use the front runne...

Yep, I like mine in chrome, blacked out makes it look like there is something missing.

Car is reasonably mint, few scratches here and there but the colour is fantastic for hiding them

Good stuff, the passenger side airbag housing would make a cool hidden console

Thanks, I have contacted BMW and it works out uneconomical, will just keep searching, biggest problem is that whenever I do find one the rest of the kit comes with it and it works out more expensive than a new one!! Catch 22. The induction kit isn’t a kit, it’s a home build using a BMC type enclosed...

Thanks Digger. Seems the only market outside of Europe they were sold was NZ, I don’t think they sold many though, other than the E30 race series pace car I have only seen UK imports so mine being NZ new must be rare. http://www.bmwclub.co.nz/wp-content/fgallery/safety-car/DSC_6665.jpg http://www.bm...

Been lurking E30 Zone for tips and ideas over the last year or so and I thought I would share my progress with the 320i. Thus far. Suspension: Front Shocks: KYB GAS (will be replaced with some BOGE Turbo’s as they are crap) Rear Shocks: BOGE Turbo’s and new Z3 reinforced Top hats. Front Springs: E30...

Very nice touring, admire your attention to detail

tbh Si I was dissapointed by this product - the only one of Maguires I ever have been Well im not sure we are talking the same product but I too have found Meguiars interior detailers to be crap, worst of all is there quick protectant wipes, they left both my E30 and E60’s interiors an off grey whi...

They did the 325i in all models bar the Touring, I believe they only imported a few Touring’s. There are quite a few English imports though.

The Touring didn’t make it to a lot of markets including Australia. Hence why a Touring costs double a sedan over here. Mine was 3,700 pounds.

Cheers guys! As far as I know they didn’t sell the 325i Touring in New Zealand and im sure none come with the M-Tech II kit on them, mine is genuine but is retro fit and does not have the Tech-II front bar. Would like to slot a 2.5 litre in at some stage as the 2.0 struggles on the hills. No blanks ...

Thanks

I used to have a TTE Lexus IS200, the plate is just a fill-in on the Touring until I find something new.

Here you go.

For me it would be a white or silver TechII Touring with a 2.5 M3 engine and running gear, 17”a BBS splits, very low ride height It would have full black leather and a nice sound system.

I just stuck them on the dash. It’s only a 320i and doesn’t come with factory tweeters, not many models do.

Im thinking about ordering some and re locating the 5”a speakers to the door as the factory mounting point is average at best.

Sorry about the mess guys, all cleaned up :o: That’s a good idea about splitting the tire cover I might just have to do that! I hate the seat cover but I hate what it covers more, seats torn to shreds.. Im looking out for a tidy set of fronts seats at the right price and im going to skin them for go...

Well I finally finished my install, I wanted the system to be easily removed and didn’t want to drill or cut any holes in the standard trim as parts for Touring’s are hard to replace (they only sold a few Tourings in NZ) and I also wanted to keep the luggage area usable. I ended up with a Pioneer DE...

Not bad. We don't have many in NZ due to our LHD and frontal impact rules but you would expect to pay over NZ50k for a tidy Evo M3!

Thanks, I'll keep looking of a 15-25ET then.

One thing also pioneer radios have a tendancy of blowing the earth tracks on there preouts which also causes interferance!! Well shoot me dead, after 20 hours of total install and re install time it turns out It was the bloody head deck. I thought it was strange that I have done a similar install b...

I have found a set of my desired wheels, the lovely BBS splits and am wanting to know what the best offset is for the E30 keeping in mind I plan to widen them to 8-9Ã¢â‚¬a. The offset is 35 and the guy tells me it's perfect even though im sure I should be looking for 15-25. Any help would be much ap...

Thanks Guys, at least I can rule out it being a common fault. I haven't listened to the radio yet, only CD's, I will pull the head deck out and run a spare set of RCA's down over the top and do a test. I might have to make a custom ground and get a distribution block to earth both amps. Its hard to ...

I have three sets of RCA's and a power cable that splits before rear seats at which point the power and RCA leads meat to go through to the rear panels. I should have tested the sound with the car running before spending a day putting the entire interior back to gather. Left AMP http://i105.photobuc...

I have recently hooked up a 4 channel amp to run my fronts and rears and am having problems with alternator noise threw the speakers. I have run the RCA leads as far from the Power cable as possible except where it re groups at the rear wheel arch and have earthed the Amp to the rear beam that runs ...

Some good ideas floating around.. Im currently setting up a sound system in my wagon, I have fitted my new head deck, 5.2Ã¢â‚¬a front components and 4Ã¢â‚¬a rear and had hit a wall as to where to place my two amps Chassis size (W x H x D) 300 x 60 x 334 mm, Unit weight 3.9 kg. I spent half the day w...

True, I hadn't even noticed that. The kit is not factory fitted so maybe the previous owner tried to save a few bob!

Thanks for the compliment, Im happy with the stance as I can load it up and it sits level.

After a weekend club cruise it came to my attention that the wagon wasn't cutting the mustered up against some newer cars so I headed down to my suspension guy to get a few things sorted. He fitted some VOGTLAND springs a new set of KYB shocks and fitted a few new bushes that were in dire need of re...

Hahah, I searched 2.7 Conversion and that didn't come up.

Sorry I a noob!

Why isn't there a sticky 'how do I build a 2.7' thread rather than going through this time and time again?? It's really starting to get boring now. :( Thanks, I thought the same thing! I have had a scan threw this and come up with a few idea's. Im planning to convert my 320I to a 2.7 over the next ...

Haha, I thought it was some crazy tape stacker or something when I saw it the first timeÃ¢â‚¬¦

Cheers guys. I have only had it a week. So far added tints, alarm, wheel and gave her the full Meguiars treatment. Yea the wheels in on the right side, I only fitted it yesterday and realised I can't se my speedometer (KPH BTW) so I will be taking it off and trading it for a bigger one before long. ...

Hi my name is Graham and I live in Auckland New Zealand. Here's my new wagon. It's a NZ new 320i Touring with a full service history. http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m225/tteett/cid__14122005.jpg http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m225/tteett/cid__14122002.jpg http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...
