E30 Zone

I have a 1989 motorsport cab and at some time in it's life it's been lowered.i'd like to bring it back to standard ride height (give or take.)Cotswold quote around £300 for bmw ones.
H&R/Eibach say springs are not for cars with factory sport suspension?Any suggestions before I contact Cotswold?Thanks.

Could I have a price for the Blue topped coolant temperature sender for 1989 325 m20 engine.Thanks.

Took SWMBO's car out for a drive with the top down yesterday.Will a chip liven it up a bit ? Compared to my 6 it was like watching paint dry.

+1 to what Brian says. I had to buy a new tensioner spring and pin. I also fitted a new fanbelt and steering pump belt while every thing was in bits.

I replaced a great 1602 with an E21 318 about 20 years ago..... by comparison the 318 was c**p.

The whole mirror fitting including that round metal ring fell off.There's nothing stuck to the glass at all.

My wife drove her new 92 318i cabby yesterday and the mirror fell off the windscreen as she adjusted it.Do I need that special glue or can I use super/ type/glue of any kind?

I managed to get the seat base 1 notch lower by kneeling at the side of the car. I don't think they'd been adjusted since new. My backside isn't sports seat shaped unfortunately .

Now have 2 cabbys. 92 318i ,genuine 35000 miles from new. My wife even likes the colour.

Are cabby front seats higher than in saloons? The top of the steering wheel blocks the view of the speedo and rev counter(It's a bus style 385mm wheel).The rear adjustment isn't as much either.Can this be increased by removing a stop or something?I owned an 86 320i and an 89 325i many years ago ,bot...

I'm just about to collect the latest addition to my small e30 fleet. It's a 92 318i cab,one owner ,34000 miles from new and completely original down to it's steel wheels.( I've never seen an e30 on steels.)I intend to keep it unmolested but would like to warm the performance up a touch if possible.I...

The collectors guide quotes autocars best top speed for a 325 cab as 135mph.Must have been a good tail wind.

Thanks for the link Adit. Proppa looks Ok ,but any connection with alan sugar puts me off.Don't want to spend £ 140 odd pounds either,will have to google

Any recommendations for a breathable cover for the winter .Unfortunately He's going to have to stay outside.

Sooner or later you'll all do it......Left my wallet once

Numerous previous bmw's including a 320 chromie auto and a 325 se.Currently a 325 motorsport cab, just got it running again ...... Intime for winter.

Just trap water salt and mud-Bin them....

Thanks thats exactly what I decided to do .Come on Brian you've never taken it out with a plug socket in situ...

Just found it in andy everett's restoration book... 19 mm steeply cranked spanner ,no room for normal sockets let alone plug sockets.

Just need the size in M.M.so I can buy one off ebay.. Ta.

Yes,and you don't have to be young .[43 is young!]

It's still in the car so limited access.

Whats the best spanner and size to remove the blue temp sender in situ. thanks.....

Please say you didn't.....

If it's your viscous fan the noise is normal.I'd be much more concerned about why ,especially in rural ipswitch.How old is your radiator,it might be partially blocked?

GUMTREE CAN'T FIND THE PAGE

Stubeedoo has got it in one...If you look at any engine bay photo's,the 320 inlet manifold tubes are almost straight,whereas the 325 tubes do a gentle curve through almost 45 degrees.

All being well, in the next 6 months or so, I will have the chance to buy my brothers mother-in-laws 318i cabby.How late in the life of the e30 is a K reg, and what sort of spec were they?[It's bright red with bottle tops,but very low mileage/1 lady owner from new.]

Those bosch plugs are wrong, and will have been partially shrouded by the plug hole. It will run better on the ngk's.

Cost me £60 in Hull.... wont go there again

For those with larger capacity motors there's the extrude honed manifolds.Ireland tuning in usa sell them and claim worthwhile gains.Check-em out.

Just replaced my head with a rebuilt one. you're going to need a gasket set about £40 gsf plus new head bolts and all the other bits you need.You will need a comprehensive metric socket set along with normal tools.Replace the cambelt again and lots of little hickups ....I suppose you could do it in ...

Oh bugger....sounds exactly like my 325 cabby engine.Will a nice refill of new gearbox oil help?

On first start up after"lengthy"Head rebuild ,the fuel hose to the injector rail is leaking.I thought it was just the end so chopped off the last 1" of hose .However on close inspection petrol is leaking through the length of hose itself.I suspect it's been replaced at some time by non fuel type hos...

As the picture says it's just crankcase ventilation, from the rockercover to the throttle body[If you're worried just wrap a bit of electricians tape around the crack for now]
