E30 Zone

Any updates on this now that the tolerable weather is back?

Cheers Jimbom,
Found it, cleaned it and no difference - Would take the sensor off you but I'm now based in Sydney so bit of a pain to post

My car is a 1989 E32 735i - Does it have the above sensor? What does it look like? Where exactly is it located? I'm wondering if my continued rough running is being caused by a slightly dirty CPS. I read a few posts on the M30 engine issue section here or the 5 series forum where some chap cleaned h...

Cheers, done that already - but I guess I'll have to try it again.

yes but that doesnt affect the fogs working and certainly doesnt stop the rears from working.

Oh and the n/s front indicator is banjaxxed too!
Bas£$%ding old cars!

Okay, an issue i'd love some assistance with. I've retro-fitted sets of foglights onto pre and post facelift E30's and never had a problem in the past. My 1988 316 facelift is different however! I fitted the fogs with new bulbs, fitted them on the car, plugged them in, fitted the correct relay, fitt...

ECP do original Hella pre-facelift fogs for £40 a side.
Least they did do about 2 years ago.

Based in Wales and have supplied both my M10 conversion - Think it was about £270-280 for the Webcon kit made for the E30 316, best money i've spent on a car.

Annoying eh! Same thing happened to me about 2 months ago. When I asked if they were looking to set up a similar situation with another reputable damper producer, he said that something was in the pipeline......... Really was a great wee deal - managed to take advantage of it to the tune of 4 sets -...

Got a full retrofit foglight kit from Richard - v fast delivery, well packaged and in brilliant condition.
Just need to fit them now!

Not making it today!

I'm looking to buy this asap

See you all at Hermiston Gait at 12:30.
Ronan, why you selling the e30?

I'd love to attend this, but I've just bought a new touring that I'd like to not crash. The awful memory of the last time I tried to attend a meet is still fresh in my mind! BTW I'm looking to get my bent front valance removed and a shiney new one put in it's place. Anyone out there recommend someo...

Need these as soon as you can - Tanks very much!!

Jeez Ronan, don't sell it! Congratulations on the wee yin BTW!! Both you and Sanchez are in for a heap of fun!! However, if you do sell, and are looking for the perfect family car. I'm thinking of selling my 730i!! ;-) My wife and I have just found out we're pregnant with no3! Obviously something in...

Rear subframe bushes sound like the culprit - These require a special tool to get out (or a lot of pain, anguish, utter frustration and bloody fingers). IMHO tis best to buy the original bushes from BMW and get a BMW specialist to replace (mine cost £120 all in to get them done).

Newer pics for you E28 lovers: The car has now had new Bilstein B4's fitted and BMW Mtech springs (-15mm) to tighten up the suspension - It's had a full Inspection II service and a new leather steering wheel fitted (from an E24, I think), a brand new genuine bmw exhaust and new brakes/pads (both wer...

I think that you're better doing it this way - especially if you are mechanically incompetent and have no mates that know old cars inside out (Like me) - Buying the carb new and getting it fitted professionally means that your are much more unlikely to have problems in the future - You just have to ...

I changed my 316's Pierburg 2BE carb (the one you currently have) for a direct replacement weber - This was a manual choke one and fitted straight in from the box - I bought a brand new one for approx £230 and spent £40 in labour getting it fitted by a BMW specialist up here. The difference in the c...

Love your E28, looks excellent, and with that engine it should drive like a dream - Heres a few pics of mine (rubbish photos, and taken prior to the extensive detail and new springs/Bilstein Shocks and Inspection II service). 1 careful owner (91 yo!!!!) with 75k on the clock and a FBMWSH - ABSOLUTEL...

the history that car has is full and will easy add a grand to price when its done! lovely car and glad its getting saved Add a grand WTF. It's no use to the previously owner is it. He got a payout he was happy with. The new owner has bought it fair and square why would he have to buy the history? I...

it will probably excape Copart and go to their sister operation U-Pull It in Inverkeathing, which is even better news for the frag followers as buying bits off that car will cost buttons. There's no way Copart will pay your insurers £650 for it, more like £150 Glad to hear you got a good settlement...

I'd certainly hand over the history and associated bumf for postage costs (despite the insurance company asking for all of this when we settled), but if the new owner wants the matching BBS caps, Mtech1 wheel, blaupunkt stereo face and other wee bits and bobs (leather gaiters, mtech gearknob, torch,...

Oooooooooo is gonna cost ya! I have the full history and all MOT's and an inch thick of paperwork dating back to 1991 of all parts bought and fitted to the car. The BBS caps are the same as the wheels, and 3 are perfect, with the other one in bits. The headunit for the Blaupuinkt stereo is here too ...

Resolution at last - £3250 was the final settlement, and the offer to buy the car back at 20% = £650. Thought that this was too expensive so just took the money and ran (I only paid £2995 for the car)!! So chuffed that I got so much - thanks to all for the info and support, you made it much easier a...

Cheers fella, there is absolutely no wiring whatsoever - I'm not even sure where I would put speakers in the front, everything is covered in plush velour carpet. I also need to get my hands on the actual plastic dash surround that houses the stereo in the E28 - Think that cecotto or E21jason has one...

Yep, and funnily enough I have a lovely M20B25 from the touring.

Hi Chaps, Unfortunately, i'm not going to make it tomorrow - Gutted, but the wife is working 9-4pm and i'm on kiddie duty! Was going to show you all my new car, but here are a few pics instead (not great, but this is due to my ineptitude with a camera, and the decidedly murky aspect of todays weathe...

Cheers mate -look forward to meeting you and seeing this new cabby!

I'll try and get there - Maybe in the E46 but could be in something a wee bit different. This week should see the end of the insurance saga (yes i'm still waiting), and as a result funds to fix the touring or get something else. Would hate to miss this, and whatever I turn up in I suspect could do w...

Thinking about selling this as it is to fund an e28 sickness I have - apart from the damage the car is mint (no rust anywhere, and I mean anywhere!), and the engine is about as perfect as you can get 92k - see previous posts on this thread for full history. The interior is unmarked and has very good...
