I can design a slick HTML eBay sale post when you're ready. So it looks like a proper product with proper engineering/marketing behind it.

Just send images and text.

I need my rear seats re-trimmed in Leather. I have been quoted Ã‚£250 to do this by B-Trim in Enfield. However, they says they cannot exactly match the 'very thick' vertical stitching that BMW used - it's very very thick thread on top the already quite tough and vinyl-like leather BMW used on E30's....

These look great - but to be honest are at their best on dark grey colours: Diamond Black/Gunmetal/Dolphin etc. I'd love one but on a Lazer Blue car (or White/Green/Red etc) it's a bit Max Power. I had any of the dark grey colours my name would already be on the list as the price is good for a prove...

Align, and give the lamps a bloody good clean regularly.

Aim a bit higher than usual too - but not too much.

Get over it guys what did you expect?

It's a TV show.

They have to go vile.

Yeh - 'Sup G!

Cloth and leather elements are different dude - watch out!

Err, isn't that why he's doing it with someone - because it's easier to afford?

I thought!

Higher revs is usually done with lighter internals and cams / ECU's that take advantage of this. Lightweight pistons, con-rods etc so they go up and down quicker. Because they're light, they need to be made strong. This is done by forging (rather than casting) and sometimes using materials like tita...

If it's mint, you should fix it properly. Brand new wings and bumper, fresh paint etc.

Hence the offer of Ã‚£500, as you'll spend Ã‚£5-700 getting it 'mint' again.

Offer Ã‚£500.

I have a mint dash and another dash with a very small crack where it usually goes on the top shelf part above the glove box.

PM me if you're interested.

Well, from 138 from a stock 318iS - you won't even get 170 with a BBTB AND cams AND a re-map AND exhaust. Forced induction I guess but I've never really been into this method. Again, IMO I'd go for re-map, full and proper service and spread the money around elsewhere too - some awesome tires, brakes...

BTBB is unproven - a lot of iS owners say there's no gains from BTTB.

Cams will be good but again, BHP per Ã‚£ is kind of shocking with that route.

First thing I would do is re-map, and also ask yourself what you want from the engine.

Bump.

Good luck buddy - if you may run into negativity on this site but ignore.

I would also consider E36 engines, perhaps a 325tdi if you love Diesel, just as they'll be easier to put in.

Diesels give huge gains on re-maps too no?

Where's the shot taken - Scotland? Beautiful...

Tin means a bit of actual solder right?

I think you can access it from the back to solder so I'll they that - bought a load so I'll practice! I would just replace the antenna at Ã‚£40 but it's routed all neat behind the dash and I'm not doing that again. Soldering has never been my strong point - and I don't know how I'm gonna get some so...

10K will get you something very nice. Not a mint Sport Evo or a ultra lo-miles version but definitely something clean and mechanically sound. I think a lot of the zoners saying that gets you nothing are in fact M3 owners! :D I would not pay more Ã‚£9999 for an M3. I'm holding out for a nice Evo II i...

It didn't.

The soldering ting is what it confusing.

I think that's what the circular thing is for - it's a door to access
the rear for soldering.

Sounds like a lot of noise for a simple job but if this part is
not done well it really ruins your satellite signal.

Cheers tho!

Ã‚£23K is insane money for an E30.

What are the proper brands to go with and the price differences?

I heard the dodgy Hong Kong kits aren't too hot - but who else does them?

So slide the ferrule over the cable. Peel back the braided layer over the plug extension. Press the main core into the plug housing. Then pull and crimp the ferrule back over the braid to close the connection? Sounds good. What about that circular thing? I thing it gives access to the back of the pl...

I'm replacing the SMB connector on my sat nav aerial as it's shredded to bits. I've cut the bad connector from the antenna and have new SMB connectors but I'm not sure how they should be properly crimped/soldered? The co-ax lead has some braided silver wires around the inner, plastic sheathed main c...

iS grey tartan is good, very hard wearing and neutral but with character.

Houndstooth is also very nice.

How about half leather?

Repair tilt handle / mech?

Back to the car...

It works!

But the passenger interior light only works when switched on manually - neither door switch gets it ti do anything...

Right to not bid on White - wait for the one you really want.

You've AGES till the summer...

It's the people with a bit of dough that list the craziest prices.

Having said that, it is clean, a 325i and how often do you see a spec like that?

Pay maybe Ã‚£3-3.5K max.

How much do 'real' 325i Cabs go for on H/J/K plates? From around Ã‚£3K? I'd rather be starting to look for a car that is a 325i Can from the start. It's not an outrageous price but it should be pretty tidy for Ã‚£3.8K. In my opinion, conversions do not add value at all, even if it's it a bigger/bett...

My drivers side rear disc cracked after a week of fitting - at BMW.

They replaced no questions asked.

Either I drove around with the hand-brake on for a week or they didn't fit them properly as I have never had that issue before.

I think they are both OEM suppliers to BMW, and they even both make some of the same parts. For example, I think they both do Control Arms and Control Brackets. There's a thread on here that says BMW only select part runs from these manufacturers that reach or exceed certain tolerances/qualities/str...
