Wow, I've had this car for 3 & 1/2 years now, and done so much to it, nothing major really, just fettling. The last couple of months have been a bit disastrous in terms of car ownership. I bought the mrs a Volvo V40 T4, and the head gasket went on it costing over £900 (suspected wastegate problem wh...

Thank you for your help!

great guide on wiring in mirrors here:
http://e30.bmwdiy.info/lighted-mirror/index.html

I am also trying to retro-fit this mirror to my coupe, and was wondering where you picked up an ign+ and earth feed from, I was planning to splice int the wiring for the check control panel, once I find out which colour is ign+and which is earth?

Or is this a bad idea?

However, you would need to source your own MAF.

Could you supply a chip for th early 073 type ECU?

Hi mate,

I'm after a price for an E36 windscreen mount (the part you glue on to the glass) part number 51318145530

Item 3 in the below image:

Coolant flow is regulated by the thermostat, which is controlled by the ECU based on readings from the temperature sensor. When the temperature is correct, the ECU opens the thermostat to allow coolant to flow to the radiator. This I believe is incorrect, The two temperature sensors are for the ECU...

Every single dift car i have ever seen, comp car's included are fooked as a road car once used. That imo is killed! Could the same not also be said for any track/rally/sprint car? http://www.thebritishdriftchampionship.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/DSC_8481_copy.sized_.jpg http://www.thebritishdriftcham...

Driffters kill cars. Drift c0ckers are the worst of the lot :cry: Bit of a generalisation(sp) don't you think? I know a few drifters who have a great respect for their E30's and spend an awful lot of time (and money) making sure that their cars are well maintained and kept looking presentable. The ...

Its not a sport, its our mate Barry with his bodykit(s) and putty knife

Put the front end back to standard with a new chrome bumper, get some new side trims, and leave the back as it is.

Oh and try washing it once in a while

Much appreciated

Gutted to see this gone Rob!!! Any other Bronzit Chrome turds left out there now?

On the flip side, how mint is the bootlid and how much do you want for it?

Is your Interior still available? If so how much?

Bit of a thread update as its been a long time... My employer refused to cough up for the damage they caused with the disc cutter so I have touched it up myself with a touch up kit (looks shit but I can't afford to get it done properly yet), I have however had the rear arches sorted, which I'm pleas...

Right its time for the bodged exhaust on my early 325i to be replaced. However, I don't know what to buy, I recently replaced the exhaust manifold (due to a crack in the old one) with a "larger" log style 4 bolt diamond shape one. This meant the downpipe flange had to be butchered to get it to fit a...

Changed the fuel filter based on this advice on Saturday and problem is now resolved.

Many Thanks!!! Its great to have the old girl running right again

Others have suggested fuel filter too, although I have changed mine recently, I will change it again, its due another service soon.

Hi all, my M20B25 has a strange revving problem, it drives fine up until 3.5-4k rpm then it just coughs and splutters and won't rev any more. Sometimes it idles at 1k other times it idles nicely around 650-700rpm. I thought it was fuel pressure related due to a noisy fuel pump, but I replaced that y...

Sounds like a blockage somewhere.

DOT 4 is fine

Right, it looks like I only have an external pump...

There is only one electrical connector going in to the petrol tank, and this is the fuel level sender correct?

I didn't realise they had two pumps; I thought that was a diesel thing. My '86 V8 also had a very loud external pump with intermitted problems (normally when warm) involving loss of power, as if not running on all 8 cylinders when under load, however an external Bosch pump with boot mounted fuel ta...

I had the cover off at the weekend, but can't recall how many wires there were, i might be able to check at lunchtime tomorrow though.

Thanks all

Fuel pump relay is a four pin one (usually orange) under a lift off cover beside the air filter.

Thanks Brian, you're a legend,

I will test as soon as I get a chance (but probably won't be until the weekend

I'm not going to be able to look at this until the weekend now, will the engine still get enough fuel to run if the in-tank pump fails completely?

Where is the fuel pump relay?

Sorry, I'm a total electrophobe

AAaaaaaaaaargh! I kind of already knew that I suppose, so now I have a dilemma...

Which fuel pump do I change?!?!?!

From chatting to another friend who used to have a pre-facelift 325 I have found out I have 2 fuel pumps, one in the tank, and one just in front of the N/S rear wheel. I think it could be the external one that is beginning to fail and causing my problem. could that be causing the hissing noise I can...
