280BHP sounds good. Which engine?

Put it up for sale

Great color for an E30.

Just had a go with the WD40. Five minutes later the screws are getting loose enough to wiggle. Gave them all a good blast, will try and loosen more again in the morning.

Thought it sounded a bit iffy needing new lights. Glad I consulted the Zone!

Thanks again to everyone who replied

Those ebay lights are for E30's with chrome bumpers. What year is your car??? And Airbags were only fitted to U.S cars. Also, even if the hydraulic adjustment is not working, they can still be adjusted by turning the large plastic knurl around the adjuster. Thanks for the replies guys. Mine is a fa...

My car failed it's MOT because of the aim being too low on the headlights. After doing a bit of reading on here seems it's a common problem with the hydraulic system. I read a post on here before saying that the lights can be adjusted by opening up the grill and adjusting the aim by turning some scr...

Great colour!

Coming up to three years ownership. I still like the car but I think the love is gone now. It needs a few things doing to it. Not sure if I want to spend the money and carry on enjoying it or sell up

Nasty! Agree with other posters. Check for other rust.

Can't wait to see it finished.

Pretty good I'd say. I once got a folded up mattress for the tip in the boot of mine.

My cab has black leather seats. Never had any problem when it's hot.

What is the average cost?

Looks nice.

How much were the new wheel nuts from BMW?

Had something similar on my 320. It's pretty scary coming off a busy roundabout and the car dies.

First time was faulty AFM, second was Temp Sensor.

I've had this twice. So frustrating. Once was temp sensor. The time before was the AFM. Idle control valve ok?

Wow cool page that. Or am I a sad git?
If you're sad I am too

Ditto

Just found out mine was from Surrey.

Love seeing these old girls stripped back and restored. Keep the updates coming.

Good feeling isn't it?

According to a young lad in Macdonald's car park my E30 is "fresh"

I Googled, turns out that is a good thing.

"Adjective

* extremely nice, of superior quality; COOL. "

Rear cab arches.

Fix the rust

Wow! That's what they are meant to look like.

Eurocarparts has them for £25.

Great work!

Any sound clips so we can hear the beast

I bought my E30 not only because I love the looks, but I wanted a car to fiddle with and work on myself. I've had it a year now and want to give it a service. I've bought all the oil, air, fuel filters, big can of oil and spark plugs for a basic service. I've changed the air filter already, that was...

I've had my cab just over a year now. Want another E30 to replace the Clio I use for work.

Thinking of getting an IS as a daily driver. Happen to know where one could be bought for £200

I was surprised when my teacher at college stuck his hand in my fan and was fine.

He reckons the way to test it is ideally to rev it at 3k or so while not moving. Untill the needle goes in the red and then you will hear the fan kick in.

Drive it more!

This is one of those annoying problems that could be loads of things.

On my 320. It was the AFM. The not starting with simlar lack of power was the Temp Sensor.

I had starting problems with my 320i.

It was the Temp Sensor.

Not heard of this one before. Although mine has just started coming on and off. Even though the tank is full. What is the cure?

If I had read this thread before I bought an E30. I may never have.

Thanks for the reply Brian.

It was the Temp Sensor.

Only just got mine going again. So no. It lives in the garage anyway. Will still take it out over the winter. Just not on snowy, rainy days.

My 320 has become a pain to start. Need to keep turning the key and pumping the throttle to get it to start. After the sixth attempt or so it starts but idles low, around 500rpm. Once it's been running for a bit the idle will rise and drop. Called the AA out last week and the guy thought it was the ...
