yes the key has to be in for the steering lock. that bit works fine.

Hi guys sorry not on a computer much. yes the key was quite warn and I do have a new one but the ignition barrel worked fine with the old key still once it didn't have the brown plastic bit in. the plastic bit is a bit worn so I guess I should get another one of these and put it back together and se...

Hi, My ignition barrel seized a while back and the AA ended up coming out to save the day as I had no idea what was going on and no tools. Basically the brown plastic ignition part that slots in the back of the barrel got taken out and I now just turn the key in that to start the car and then put th...

Going to sell the comfort seats in blue vgc that I just took out of my e30. Thinking they'd go for somewhere between £60-90 any idea? cant seem to find many for sale at the mo. they dont have rear headrests but are pretty spotless.

Ahhh read that too late, thanks though Brian. I will keep a look out for reductions in future.

http://www.carparts4less.co.uk - ECP sister company, same parts, lower cost. Sachs clutch kit about £90-£100. Cheers for the tip dude. £93 quid for same part as euro car parts. Didnt know about this company but glad I do now. The part listed on gsf was 189bm0070 so not sure why different and whethe...

hehe I was thinking z3 short shift, How did you guess?

Thankyou for your help guys. will take a look at thread now. I know I need to have a play with the linkage while I'm under there.

Went on euro car parts and the sachs clutch they stock for my 325i is down from £160 to £120. Is this the best usual price clutch for the e30? I know theres other more expensive 'performance' cluthces on ebay but are they really worth it. Seem a bit pricey, may do the the od track day, not sure yet ...

I went from a 325i sport with adrian flux for £350 fully comp to a 1.8is £550 fully comp. Its bloody stupid. Now I have another 325i insured with them fully comp on classic limited to 5000 miles a year and its £160. I am also 32 have full NCB. I think insurance companies just hate the is badge but t...

Mine are bullseyes so am happy with that!

Um haha maybe. I assumed as there are no leccy windows and that the wingmirrors arent colour coded they werent electric. Havent hardly been in the car to be fair and only just got it. My bad, anyone would think I have no clue what I'm on about

ah i see. now thats interesting, it is a 88. Its had a front end repair so I assumed that the wrong lights had been fitted. If theyre original then I may as well keep them as is. Thanks for the help

Hi my car has pre face lift front lights which are incorrect so want to get smilies. are the clusters the same and can just get the lenses or do I need the whole set up? thanks matt.

Ok thanks for the help guys. So for now I think Ill wait and at some point in the future have the carpets up and do it all properly as it doesnt have central locking either and would be nice to fit that and leccy mirrors at the same time.

I have just bought a poverty spec e30 and have the electric bits from my last one that Im thinking of using to upgrade. Do the electrics plug straight into the loom somewhere or is that part of the loom missing on a low spec car? Thanks.

This ones very similar to what mine looked like. Nice colour sterling silver. Saw this on ebay. Very near me but Im after another 2.5. 18is are great cars and a lot of fun but I dont use a car much so would like the grunt of the 6 pot again. As a daily driver the 18is is superb. Nice to see the obc ...

This is a funny thread. The grey/silver mtech 2 has pre facelift lights. I assume european standards of lenses were behind uk? boring I know but seeing as we seem to be getting into the details...... The two tone car has facelift head lamps. They are non "smiley" ellipsoidal head lamps used from se...

Thought maybe genuine because if dodgy dealer would have thought theyd put a dodgy mot on it but thought would do text check on reg. Says 'no DVLA or police record found for G91 VUL' and i didnt get charged, bonus

I think dodge, stay clear!

Mmmmmm. May ask them. 6days old though IF is genuine probably gone, especially berkshire. dodgy dealers up there. No phone number so could be safe but then is an 'old man' going to use mail?

Was definitely up for £1000. No mention of cat C. Had no picture. Just seemed all a bit to good to be true. Is there any reason for fake ads? Maybe so you phone premium rate numbers? Or am I just going off on conspiracy theorys ha! I reckon someone was either having an early april fools or really di...

I check these sites daily as would like another. Maybe not sport but at that price wouldn't say no. was bogged down with dam tax return all day yesterday

just goes to show you gotta be on it with these things.

Ok im pretty sure I wasnt dreaming late last night about an ad for a 91 325 sport for £1000 with 62,000 on clock, lachs silver, one owner, very good condition in Essex. Ad posted yesterday, gone today. Anybody else see it? Were they aving a laugh or did I see a very possible bargain to late?

Will post up some pics when done....t Thanks all....good advice that ....as i was being told this morning that every car i get i wanna keep and shouldn't Haha by the mrs by any chance?

Dont have one at the mo but if I did it would be going sideways somewhere discreet

The M3 is the more desirable car, full stop, hence the demand for them, and their prices being higher than any of the 3 series of this generation. If you compare like for like, i.e prestine vs prestine, M3 wins. If you compare shite vs shite, it wins again...! That is the point. Now, if I'm asked t...

:D :D :D :D :D M3 bollotics haha! Well a cab is heavier in the first place due to the strengthening in the doors yeh? Plus to that the weight of air con and the fact that when its on it drains the power then you have a slower 2.5, simples ol chap! No one in theyre right mind would be comparing this...

air con and cab makes one slow 2.5. How do you work that one out? Same as always with this car. Find another. You won't. Is it worth the money? If someones willing to pay it yes! We can chat M3 bollotics all day but by a high miler ratty m3 and see what it'll cost you to get it to this standard. An...

No idea to be honest. I assume you found the dvla search then. Try one of the traders on here, they're probably good at vehicle details.

I'd have this over a ratty M3 any day! Given the mileage, if this car was always destined for a collection it may have been imported but never registered, meaning it wouldn't need to meet the US 5mph crash test and also wouldn't need the world's ugliest bumpers.. It meets the federal standards with...

I know its a minter n all that but surely for that money youd go for something a bit more historical wouldnt ya.

air con and cab makes one slow 2.5. bloomin tidy though. whats 43,000 dollars in quids?
