i am thinkin of fitting a remote cental locking kit on my 316. the car has central locking already so i have no need to fit the locking solinoids that come with the kit. does anyone know the best place to connect the locking and unlocking signal wires? do i need to run wires all the way from the rem...

hello there its been a while since iv posted on here due to selling the 320 but i am now back in the fold. i have just picked up a 1990 316 3door in calipso red. iv got it home and had a look around it and its not to bad condition but i do have something that needs sorting. when running it struggles...

i know there is some engineering involved but are these any good as a cheap option??

I'm an mot tester and in all fairness all of the things mentioned are part of the correct test procedure. Obviously I carnt comment on the force used with the bar on ur back bushes as this is down to the testers own discretion.

I have a 1987 320i (chrome bumper model). A few months ago the old exhaust gave up the ghost, i have since brought a second hand standard full system from what im told is a 320. The new system is twin pipe all the way through (my old system is single pipe) and when i tried to fit it nothing lined up...

how easy is it to fit pas to a non pas car?
are brackets to fitt the pump easily available?
are all 30 pas systems the same?
what exact parts are needed?
thanks for the help

the car is a 1987 chromie 320i

ive got some plugs to go in it just lookin for some sencible priced leads. strugglin due to the fact its the model that has the dizzy down the side of the inlet manifold not on the end of the cam.

iv got an 87' 320i and it seems quiet hessitant when driving low down in the revs. once you have the revs up it pulls fine, it doesnt seem to be missing and runs fine. i know they arnt the fastest of things anyway but there is definatly a lack of power. any ideas?

i have a centre and rear section brand new for a 320i (recently purchased from leeparkes off here) i have no need for it now as iv decided to put a stainless rear section on that i had lying around.
both are twin pipe.
let me know.

where abouts are you? and is the car lachs silver?
if so is the drivers front wing available?

they will be alright iv done worse in bad weather it just the gettin motivated to start the job thats the problem

iv got the springs just not got round to fittin them im plannin to have a go tomora afternoon

its only the exhaust thats and some different springs to go on the front thats stoppin me. ill get on it the weekend and sort it out.

yeah not far from the cat mate.
im itchin to get the car back on the road now it doin my head in.

id say theres only bout 10mm.
i need to get some hangers first really cuz my old box was oval so the old ones ar totally different. just need the snow to go now so i can have a good look without gettin soaked and gettin frost bite.

It might be worth trying on of your loal tyres/exhust place. Not Kwik Fit. Try the the one at the bottom of Netherton High Street. Or the guys down Shaw Road just after the island where the statue of the man has always got a cone on his head by Peartree Lane. I'm putting all this because it says yo...

im currently in the process of fitting a new exhaust (brought from leeparkes thanks) i knew the exhaust was different as my original system was a single pipe from the centre box to the back box then a single exit. the exhaust i have to fit is a twin pipe and the odd thing is it has a round back box ...

Im in the need of a new rear section of my exhaust on my chrome bumper 320. Any suggestions of where to get one from or if any one has anything for sale. Im in the Dudley area (west midlands) Only problem is im short of cash at the moment but need to sort it soon before i go deaf. Thanks for any help.

thats what i was thinking i dont wanna buy some then find they dont fit.

anyone know??

iv got a 87 crome bumper 320i and im after some plug leads?
just wandering if all the leads on a 6 cyl are the same?
mine has the dizzy mounted on the side of the block by the inlet manifold not the end of the cam.
would i be able to use leads from a later model?
thanks for any help.

ordered some clocks off this man great to deal with they were delivered very quickly at a great price.

i had a simalar problem on my rover the alternator just wasnt charging enough to cope with a high load ie lights stereo heater etc. check the conections and the charge rate while running.

i have a 87' 320 and have the same problem just its on the o/s. i thought maybe the light seal but other than tha i aint got a clue????

im only on 15" wheels and aint to botherered about handleing. i think im gonna go for 40/40mm and see how it goes.
thanks for the input lads

i would also like to know. what were they fitted to standard?

iv been meaning to have a look at fitting 6x9"s in the parcel shelf of my 320i ill have a look tonight and tell ya how i get on.

this is a really silly question. when buying a 40/60mm lowering kit does this mean 40mm front 60mm rear?

what is the best drop in your opinion?
im usure wether to go for 40/40mm , 40/60mm or 60/60mm?

thanks

do i just order e46 top mounts or are they for a specific model ie 325 or m3 etc?

thanks mate looks like its a job for the weekend.
do you thing i should go for genuine mounts from bmw or some after market copies?

i need to replace the rear top shocker mounts on my e30. iv been reading a few posts that people mention they have fitted e46 top mounts.
what is the advantage of this?
Do the fit without modification?
are genuine ones the best bet?

thanks for the help

i think this is the part ur after there is a little plastic box with connections on the back that fits into the hole that's circled.
there isnt one fitted in this photo.
hope this helps.

dont the genuine alpina wheels have a key lock on the centre caps?
