Probably wont be able to get out work into Herts for 6:30/7:00. Put me down for a def but if there aint enough people

Would it be a Monday evening? Would like to pop my E36 on the rollers...

Remember its still a 12 year old car, i think ppl forget now the successor to the E30 is an old banger by most peoples standards!

Hello mate!!

Well im in an E36 now so probably not that welcome around these parts

Im still p!ssing about in Enfield, will have to pop by sometime and check out what your driving!!

it wasnt introduced until '96 some 5 years into production.
so id say a lot of decent e36's dont have it.

Whoops i forget how long the E36 has been out

Still tho theres so many around and for so little you may aswell get a facelifted one!

The steering wheel is ok, its a normal leather one of that period. Most decent E36 have digital climate control

Sport rims for E36 seem to peel and go off quite easily

Dont forget tho, even the newest E36 are about 8/9 years old so theyre not gonna be worth very much!

Ive had 3 E30s and recently got myself a 328i Coupe and its the best car ive owned; easily better than the red M50 E30 i had :o Smooth effortless power, dont think there are any VANOS issues with the M52 (only the M3 EVO engine i think?). Nikasil can be checked with either a call/email to the dealer...

Hmm do the Eibach affect the ride much? Altho your already on 18"s! Mind you i can see the car sits beautifully on the rims and the lowering, tempting to do it to my own one day :D Ive bought the diff off someone but its kinda hard trying to arrange collection and delivery cause the guy isnt the qui...

Have you got an LSD on it? Im trying to get one off an ebayer whos dragging his feet

Howve you found the Bilsteins and Eibach suspension compared to the stock stuff?

Dammn nice

They look better without the rear spoiler i think too!

Fantastic cars, i own a non Sport 328i and its awesome

Hullo Dave

I have e36 too, but Coupe flavour. Dammn fine cars....

Is there space for an E36 owner?

Anydate is fine for me if so!

"The E30 owner gulped hard, this was the moment of truth. Months of work, modding with chips, exhausts, displacement enlargement, throttle bodies and so much more; even Turbos were considered but scrapped as Forced Induction just wasnt BMW. Lined up next to him was a Subaru Impreza WRX; they were on...

Gotta agree with all the "get 318iS" talk, hardly more on insurance and quite a car! Ive had both and id say get the quicker one! :wink: Do shop around for insurance tho, if i did it all again id have driven slow crap cars until i was 20 or 21 and used the Ã‚£ on a car instead of all those insurance...

Gaydon is a great day out! Worth going to if your a BMW fan, all sorts of old and new machinary to see

Good stalls too if your looking for parts!

Only problem i have with those events is the huge prices and nastiness of the food on sale there!

If the E30 didnt exist all together id have probably gone for a mk1 Toyota MR2 (came close to buying one anyway!) or a mk2 Golf GTi, not sure about 8v or 16vs tho.

Mind you, my current car ive deemed as a good replacement

A v good daily drive, the economy is nice too. Got from 27 to 36mpg when i used to own it, first figure town, second one motorway. Infact which is only marginally behind my current 2000 1.7 Ford Puma :mad: Another recommendation for the iS :D It could use more torque and the buzzy engine is an acqui...

Wow GUG and Karan parted

1 of the best E30s around, new owners gonna enjoy it thats for sure!

From the research i did on the E36 (considered one for awhile!!), getting an LSD was a lot less common that on the E30 cause by then TC was common in alot of cars and that became a subsitute of sorts

The M50 i had was no more economical than the M20s i compared notes with during my time. Infact the best mpg i got out of it EVER was about 28 and the worst 17!!

Mainly cause i was basically abusing its power everywhere tho.....

The Ebay M50 car looks interesting

Seriously doubt it makes 220bhp tho, cause i dont think mine ever did. Id have estimated about 200bhp!!

Havent driven an E36 tho but id go for that since ive had an iS and a quick E30 just as a change of scenary if it were my Ãƒ”šÃ‚£

Yes beware the infamous Nigerian car scammers, i had one when selling mine

I sold my old E30 on ebay, i listed it for 10 days and paid extra for more photos and to appear at the top of searches etc!

Yes alot of losers said "part ex for this and that" even tho i slammed in bold NO PART EXS CONSIDERED!!! The positive advice given here is sound tho!!

Hmm yes, to put it plainly the back of the wheel is totally different on the E36, E34 or E28 ones fit fine tho!

Wasnt that hard to explain

Cool Neil, went back to em after all

M20s have more torque low down from the ones id driven! But M50s (non Vanos) need to be revved a little to get "really" going but pretty sure it has a nicer top end as it would with multivalves. Its a hard comparison cause when both are in an E30 one is quite a bit faster! I always thought the bassy...

Yeah GSF was great when i got a new rad for the E30 i had, bloke even threw in a bit of coolant and the discount even tho i forgot my card!

iS is a nice car! Ive owned one too

Fuel eco is definately in another league as the 320i drinks and drinks! I got between 26 to 35mpg with the 4 cyl.

I worship at the altar of the small diameter M-tech II (well used to), Stevo try not to overdo it! I almost crashed cause i went straight out to try the stuff i saw after watching the Drift Bible

Whats so bad about 6x9s in the rear....

Ahh i remember my old E30 had its orginal speakers in the rear, it was soon sorted out with a saw tho

Wow replies to an old thread :mad: alexbaby88: Yeah it didnt read properly because its calibrated to read to the 6 cyl models and the M3 cluster has more revs painted on in the same physical space on the dials, if that makes sense...Ians idea of the coder thingy is what he suggested to me when i ask...

So your saying its ok to compare an old sports car with an old super mini. But its not ok to compare a modern warm hatch (Sport KA is a mildly tweaked KA) with a old sports car? :D I dunno anyway, the TV lies/makes up alot of things, so dont take 5th Gear as more than a laugh :snigger: Maybe progres...

An M3 vs an 80s small Ford would hardly be a contest worth comparing! But the Sport KA got close to the M3s time on 5th Gear, maybe 20 yrs of progress gets you somewhere, i dunno!

If they had put an equivalent ford on the test from that year, say a fiesta or even an escort 1.3, we would see the difference, and would still be waiting now for it to finish the lap, that is if there would be any of the car left to even drive. An equivalent Ford from the era of the E30 M3 would b...

The Lancia looked so messy going around that track, i thought the M3 looked good
