Ok seen as i couldnt come to an answer the other day i just put my old afm back on which once started and run for 30 seconds runs fine but not sure where to go now. Firstly is the 0280 202082 correct as on http://www.atpelectronics.co.uk/Catalogue/bmw.htm it says its for a 320 but also for a 525 so ...

I was of the same understanding but nearly 3mm and the car ran really ruff me thinks someone else has fiddled. Like i say the car doesnt kick out as much smoke etc but im not sure if i should risk it or just go put the old AFM back on.

Right guys i have gone from a small cold morning porblem where the car would stuggle to start first time and cut out then after a bit of a run at 1500 rpm ran fine for the rest of the day. So iv changed quite a few things hoses temp sensors etc.... and was left with just the AFM so i bought one off ...

Iv got poly ARB bushes m3 lollipop's, just looking at the rear beam and trailing arms. People said it made the ride harsher/noisier. I also knock up a ali steering couple instead of the rubber one coupled with new bilstein shocks and H&R springs and new arb drop links. I must say the car drives love...

Bought some springs off me brilliant coms came the next day to collect and was bang on time, an absolute pleasure to deal with many thanks

Thank you very much ill give it a go tomorrow.

I do appologise facelift 1989 320i engine.

The resistance deffinatly drops and rises over the first half but after that it pretty much drops back to where it started. The correct way to check an AFM is to connect a 6 or 9 volt battery across the terminals that connect to the ends of the track, and monitor the voltage on the slider as the fla...

All i can think is that the plug terminal has been changed as there is some soldered sections on the circuit board but then the length of the wires dont match. I also bent the wires to come in contact with the solder and retested it but i just got more blips as in small drops in resistance then it r...

Iv been trying to fix my bad starting problem for a while now and i though i would have a look inside the AFM as its pretty much the last thing i havnt changed or check and i found the following to wires from the middle to terminal floating in mid air im quessing they shouldnt be like that. http://i...

yer i think they are the one, any idea where i could get some from???

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this but after reading a few posts about changing the ream beam bushes and trailing arm bushes not sure if i can be bothered as its my daily driver. Just done the rest of the suspension bushes shocks springs etc but need the rear bushes doing so anyone fanc...

I think there stunning wheels but carnt find those ones yet people have suggested similar ones but none that are the same.

Cliffybabe - How much are you thinking ??

Hmm im not sure they dont look like split rims to me but again i could be wrong would love to get to the bottom of this though as i really do like them, but thanks.

I may get told off for this i have already asked in a Borbet B thread in BMW chat but would love to find out exactly which wheels these are i found them on e30tech and they said they were CR 16x9. I am i right in saying CR-Kai wheels which i think have something to do with WORK wheels. Any one have ...

Since i saw this thread iv been trying to find a set of wheels that i like just as much as the Borbet B's and stumbled across these on e30tech the guy on forum said that they were CR 16x9. Could anybody shed any light on this as i would very much like some of these? by CR do they mean the CR-Kai stu...

The ESM site is down but i think i know which ones you mean. How much are a decent set of borbet B's going for these days or the ESM wheels ??

Iv got the e36 motorsport wheels at the minuet in 17"s and there killing the ride.

I must say the Borbet "B" are my favourite wheel for the e30 there the closest thing to my favourite Alleycat wheels. http://www.minispares-online.co.uk/?cat_id=1&sub_cat_id=13&prod_id=704 Loved these back in my mini days but never owned a set only managed the superlights you carnt get ether for an ...

Could anyone shed any light on this was hopeing to do it tommorow??

Thanks Ben

Sorry guys iv been searching for nearly an hour and can’t find a definitive answer im changing the gearbox and open diff oil. I know i can run ATF as apposed to the SAE 80 but is Fuchs Dextron II ok as i have a gallon of it in the garage or does it have to be Dextron III. Also what’s suggested for t...

Which engine are we actually talking about?

Its only a m20b20 engine.

Yes thats what i did but like they say live and learn there both done now. chears anyway

Fixed it cheers guys new it was something shock related If you've just replaced the rear shock absorbers then I'd definately check the bottom shock mount bolt is to correct torque more or less. The metal bush through which the mounting bolt is driven has a very small amount of play between the two a...

No I havnt yet check the oil pressure sender but that's my first port of call when I finally get a free evening. But thanks for the heads up.

While I was out and about last night I developed and annoying rattle from the back end. Firstly I thought it was was something in the boot or the jack or something no the boot was empty and spare wheel and jack secure. Then I though maybe a shock wasn't tight in its mouting as iv just fitted new sho...

Morat I don't actually have an oil leak like I said was just when the engine was hot the light flickered on tick over. But only happened once. Iv given her a top up for now and not had any problems since. I just wondered if it was a common problem, I carnt see me keeping the engine in much longer 32...

Hmm, that sounds like your 'normal' temp is showing about the same as mine but te viscus is letting it get higher. To test the viscus fan coupling, let it get upto temperature then when the needle just goes above half stick a rolled-up newspaper in the fan... Fan chews the paper = viscus is locked ...

if you split the gauge into quarters it normally sits between 1/4 and 1/2 but when the light flickered on it was just tipping 3/4 not in the red though. I wasnt convinced with the oil when i bought it as i said.

Which oil light? If it was the one on the OBC then fine, just a top up required but if it was the one on the dash then you've got very low oil pressure... not good a nice 10w40 semi synth will have it running nicely Sorry i didnt really explain myself very well was a bit of a rush last night. Yes i...

Right guys i serviced the car some 3months ago and done around 1500 miles since. And when i did the service i had only just got the car so was kind of counting on what the guys in the shop told me to run as regards engine oil but im not sure they have served me well. I was advised to run 15w/40 Mine...

Iv just fitted a set of H&R springs to my SE and i can highly recommend them, meant to be a -35mm drop but even straight away before they have settled it appears to be more than the jamex kit that was on which i was led to believe it was a 40-30 split. But those coupled with Bilstein shocks really a...

Well all went good this weekend managed to get the steering rack, tie rods, 4 shocks and 4 springs done Friday evening/Saturday. Not yet fitted the control arms and m3 bushes. But all i can say is i thought people were exaggerating when they said Bilstein and H&R where a good match transformed the c...

The cone filter will almost defiantly reduce the power and fuel consumption, or it seamed to as mine came with one. I changed back to the standard box with a k&n panel filter and also cut out some of the slot in the grill by the feed pipe on the air box works a treat. I honestly cant see the benefit...

Yer im also from Huddersfield, bought it off a friend of a friend bargain

or so i thought. Iv always been a mini man but iv been well an truly bitten by the E30 bug.

The previous owner had it badged like that iv took them off and since spent a shed load of money and time on her
