Maybe this is an excuse to fit a quicker rack. My previous car was a mk1 mr2 and the steering on my E30 feels a little like I’m driving a bus by comparison!!

Sorry for the hi-jack, but I believe that's what mine is doing. Did you have to replace the entire rack, or was it an easier job?

Hi all,

Just a quick question; What is the oil capacity of the E30 325i? I've got 5 litres of silkolene Pro S 5w40 and wanted to check that this will be enough for a complete oil change.

I will be using the car as a daily ...

Thanks all, sounds pretty good to me! To be honest I was actually abit put off by the mileage as it sounds a bit too low (if thats possible!) but it does seem to be genuine.

Hi all, I'm after a car to run around in for a bit of fun, and I've pretty much decided to go for an E30 325i. I've seen one that I'm likely to plum for but I just wanted to ask a few questions with regards to it. It's quite an early model sitting on a D plate which I thought was an '87, but the sel...
