E30 Zone

perfect thank you Gents. Sheilas wheels already came in £200 cheaper!

Just bought an old 2001 325i CI Sport in standard spec. Had an insurance quote of 677 quid. Im 42 with 8 years no claims.

Anyone recommend a cheaper company?

Thanks in advance

There are people on here with far more expertise than me, but I had a similar problem on my 325 a few years ago and the petrol pump was goosed.

Petrol pump? I think they have some sort of diaphragm in that can perish. If you put your foot down when driving does it give a lot of lag and force you to change gear?

Nice - if its a 6 pot and you dump the BK's :D What volvo scrapper you got ? I bought a £600 V40 as a daily a couple of months ago and i quite like it :o: Mine is a £400 V70. Clearly the extra £200 you spent on yours makes all the difference. The drivers window doesn't work, neither does the centra...

I've kicked the habit. I've sold or crushed all of the E30 scrap I had and thought I was doing quite well. There I was pootling along on the way to deliver some grub in my god awful volvo turd bridge dodger when I happened upon a nice shiny 2 door E30 of unknown spec in Calypso red on Alpinas finish...

Great flyer mate. I like it a lot. What did you use to create it? I need to produce some flyers of my own....

I have an old E28 bonnet in my Dad's garage. I can barely lift it, but if I did manage to get it to the top of a big slope I could imagine it may go rather fast.... Think I'll pass though...

Well OK it was a few days ago if I'm honest but yeah, it's gone to pastures new.
It was yours?

The one I sold was. The one currently in the for sale section is not.

Sold it.

Finished? My sincerest congratulations to you.

I cannot wait to see to see more!!

You'll never believe this but... I was looking for something today and came across a BMW key in a box under my sink. I wonder I thought.... Yes it's a spare. :mad: :roll: :rofl: It's a stark insight into the chaotic world in which I live, however at least I now have a spare and can remember where I ...

All sorted. Its great having such an old car at times. 4.99 for a new key from a local cobblers. Happy with that. It's a good fit too. Still can't believe it snapped when I touched it. It could have so easily done that in the door lock which would have been a whole different story. Some good luck fo...

It's not in deadlock position, but I can't see a great deal of point attempting to break in as I won't be able to start the car anyway. Fortunately it's parked outside my house so no need to worry about moving it either. I'll go to the locksmiths in the morning with the bits and see if they can cut ...

That's what I'm hoping Steve. If they can, I'll get 2 for sure.

My E30 is also my daily driver. In fact it's the only roadworthy vehicle I own and it gets used daily. I've just parked it, and whilst locking the door I noticed the lock was a little stiffer than usual. I took the key out and it was bent. When I touched it, the bend broke into 2 neat pieces. It's m...

Fixed it!! Turned out to be a split hose after all. It was the hose going from the intake boot to the idle control valve. I removed the whole inlet to get a better look and found a huge split on the underside of the hose. Taped it up for now and the problem has gone. I just need to get a new hose. A...

It's all back together! My E30 is also my daily driver. What comes off must go back on so I can get to work. :? This problem seems to be worse when the engine is warm. Does that make anything less or more likely to be at fault? I've had a few split hoses before and been able to spot them. I'm fairly...

Ok I accidentally removed the TPS whilst trying to remove the TPS but actually removing the temp sensor. lol. It looked pretty clean on the outside. So, if I remove it again and then remove it from the throttle body I should be able to give it a clean right? I'm going along these lines as 1. I don't...

Thanks for the help. I didn't manage to find a picture of the blue plug and it's location. I read through the links though and went in search of it. I found a blue plug under the intake, in the cylinder head as described but I rather think it may have been a temperature sensor? When I removed it coo...

Nice one.

Blue plug. Do you know where I can find it?

Please help this is really starting to do my head in.... My H reg 318i auto has been spot on for the 18 months I've had it. However, it has some sort of idle issue that's getting worse... The engine behaves as it should when driving, no problems there. It's only when idling it's really lumpy. If I h...

I have driven E30's daily for around the last 10 years. The current turd is a lowly 318i auto that cost me considerably less than a grand with tax & test. It's been absolutley spot on. Maintenance wise it's had a change of oil, and 2 new tyres. It's sailed through 2 MOT's with no advisories. Really ...

yep, im interested if u got some Barx. You still got those M30 mounts?

Spirit of Chav is indeed alive and well..

My most lavish car wash ever today. A whole £9.50 :eek: Few more snaps in the sun... http://i465.photobucket.com/albums/rr20/Gheko_01/Wirral-20120723-00764.jpg http://i465.photobucket.com/albums/rr20/Gheko_01/Wirral-20120723-00763.jpg http://i465.photobucket.com/albums/rr20/Gheko_01/Wirral-20120723-...

ive got a 325i sports auto and ive got it up for sale its a very clean car but not had a call or email on it do you all think its cus its an auto and do you think i should convert it to manual ?? Where have you got it for sale? It could be down to a number of factors. Crap advert, over optimistic p...

Yeah I do it...

E30's used to be a very common sight on the road. Notso nowadays. I'm always chuffed to see another...

Its about 2 minutes from my house. Surprised I've never noticed it driving round before...

My first BMW was an E28 520i that I bought for the princely sum of £65 at an auction. It gave me 2 very happy years trouble free motoring and sold for a modest profit. I've wanted another one ever since I sold it.

The Alpina is pure porn. What a great looking car!!

I'd say that looks fairly tidy and but as above, check those rear arches very thoroughly. Check the carpets in the front footwells for damp too if the bottom of the wings are rusted. The whole corner can go in worst cases giving you a hole in the floor. Have a good look at the front 'jacking points'...

Some swine kicked my o/s mirror and snapped it in two at the weekend. Coonts. So this evening I nipped down to the chav's resting place and nicked it's mirrors. They're not a perfect match but will have to do for now. I took a few more pics while I was there.... http://i465.photobucket.com/albums/rr...

Here you go...

Nice.

Mate, that is LUSH!!!! What a nice job and super quick turn around too!! You gotta be pleased with that.

I see what you mean about the front grill, but it can't take much to sort that surely.

Really like this car.

Ah I see.

Did you find a big difference between the M40 and the M42? I know it's a superior engine but is there much in it? I'm getting quite into 318 driving as it's working out considerably cheaper on fuel than the M20's I used to drive...
