E30 Zone

Hi all I managed to shear the mechanism which raises the horseshoe and latches it down from the motor drive. I’ve unlatched the motor and can see the splines are all in tact. I’ve ordered a replacement crank (the part which attaches to the motor inside the horseshoe box) but can’t see from realOEM h...

Morning all I've managed to push an indicator housing through into the recess behind the bumper so need it to come off. The wiki guides all cover fitting the valance but none about how to take it off. Can anyone provide a step-by-step and can I do it without breaking clips and without a ramp? Many t...

Talking about m20

I have done much searching on this topic and not really found an answer. Has anyone achieved a factory look for the rocker cover and intake manifold? I wish to keep the car as original as possible and was considering sand blasting or similar but have no idea what the finish would be? All help apprec...

Price for the below please

I have searched the forum and have not found a place where I can buy an OEM 3 piece backbox for a facelifted Motorsport.

All BMW/ECP/GSF etc parts seem to show angled tailpipes.

Can anyone help?

Many thanks

Yes.

Looks nice Brett, what's on the cards?

Hi Brett, very well thanks. Yes I still have yours, in fact I've recently got it out of the garage and had it prepared for the road once again. I've had a Chimaera as a summer car recently and whilst it was fun the E30 has something special which a TVR will never have for me, so its up for sale! I'm...

Hi all, can anyone vouch for this car, good or bad?

Many thanks

Maybe there were too many questions, just ideas on a couple of them would help a lot - what can I do about rusted through number plate light panel and why might the obc have killed itself

Thanks in anticipation

Absolutely mate, I will never be able to sell it, it's a lifetime car. Long term plan is full resto a la Simon13 and others. For now though just want it back on the road? Are you back in the world of e30 ownership?

So, after 3 summers in a Carcoon, I'm finally intending to get my Motorsport back on the road! I have been absent from the zone for quite a while (the z4 forums are not a patch on this) and have a few questions in anticipation of getting her ready; 1. After a new and slightly rebuilt engine in 2007,...

Simon, completely and dangerously inspired by this. I hope one day I will have balls to do this to mine, although sadly I lack your not inconsiderable skill in almost every area of this job!

Would love to see it some day!

Thanks Dave, can you explain how? The loop in one end of the rod presumably does something and I'm not sure what/which way around it should be!

Any thoughts appreciated!

Thanks

I am going to be attempting this solution on mine as have also been living with it for years!

Does anyone know what the function of part 33 is in the diagram linked to above?

no no, it's still just as you see it but belongs to my sister!

looks like you're after pre-facelift, but this gives you an idea at least:

last time i checked (about 6 months ago) there were 6 strips left of the silver bubble leather cloth in Germany, its discontinued - £300 a throw! each strip is enough to cover one base or back!

perhaps, but an easy way of avoiding this hassle for others would be just to avoid them. I've had hassle free parts from other breakers and so will know never to use Midland again, was just hoping to help others avoid making the same mistake.

has any company anywhere ever compensated for calls made and hassle incurred? theyve compensated for lost parts i think thats as much as you can realistically expect. Yes fuzzy, quite often if you kick up enough of a fuss, in my experience you get something back - most companies realise that it's e...

This is a warning to all zoners, do not go near Midland BM. They have taken me for a ride and are now only offering a refund of the price I paid for parts that were 'lost' in the post. They have made no attempt to compensate me for all the calls I had to make after they repeatedly failed to call me ...

hmmmm, thanks alyman, i guess i should get on that

thanks a lot mate, parts ordered, thought they'd be a lot more expensive

I know this should be in wanted, but no one sees it there. My sisters 1.8 convertible has been hit on the rear drivers side wheel, needs new following: - M Tech shock - Rear wishbone - Rear wheel hub - Diff-wheel drive shaft I have tried parts gateway and its not coming up with much. Can anyone help...

awesome thanks a lot mate, thats just what i needed. Can you tell me what the final part 'bulb socket' is?

I need to fit manual adjusters to my lights as they are pointing, and wobbling, all over the place. I understand I need the adjusters and some other parts (the clips on the end I think) to prevent them wobbling.

Can anyone help as I can't figure it out from online ETK?

Thanks

My service indicator went from showing full green lights (having just had a service) straight to the 'inspection' light showing. I reset the lights with a tool about a week ago and already two green lights have gone out.

Does anyone know what the hell is going on?

Just been reading with interest the post about chips. My car had a new engine a year ago and I don't know how old the engine that went in is as i did not source it myself. Just want to check my ECU matches my engine and my chip matches that! So....questions: 1. how do i establish how old my engine i...

do it do it do it!! I'll provide a car!!

so am i right in thinking there are no intentions to dyno this?

William...it has nothing to do with Hot tuning...is thatgood or bad!!! haha I think that's probably a good thing, if only for the sake of putting that argument to bed! still, there's now a toss up between the hottuning manifold which on ebay is now CLAIMED to make 10-20% gains, and this one which a...

is this anything to do with hottuning_eu?
