Hi all, can anyone help. I have just put an M44 engine onto throttle bodies and an Emerald programmable ECU. Does anyone have any base maps for the ignition timing to give me a starting point?

Anyone help? - E30 318is passenger footwell, pipe that goes to the heater matrix - there is an electric thing and all it is doing is clicking loudly is it a pump or what?

If anyone can help, thanks in advance

Hi guys, just wondered if any of you had done a single headlamp conversion - if so what headlamp did you use so you had the side lamp, dipped and main beam in the same unit and any particualar mounting plate. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi, I am after a gear lever bearing (plastic part which the gear lever ball fits in) for an E30 325 1989.

Bought / paid £150 for an LSD unit, never turned up, will not respond to messages sent through E30zone even though he is on line - what else can I say

Hi guys, i converted both front and rear to coilovers using the rally design stuff, i use my E30 for rallying, spring rates are 280lb fronts, 14inch long - which are stiff, and 140 / 110lbs, 14 inch progressives on the rear, not too stiff but allow for excellent trackion both on tarmac and gravel

thanks for the reply

This might be a silly question, i fitted a LHD talbot sunbeam steering rack (a quick rack) onto my E30 several years ago. It works a treat but i have bent a track rod (not the trackrod end but the piece it screws onto to). I used BMW track rods / and ends, when i have looked into buying one they say...

does anyone know if BMW made any four pot brake calipers which would fit an E30 and run with 14" wheels?
cheers
jono

bought a set of wheels off josh, great communication, did exactly as he said, recieved wheels which are excellent, wil buy from again

excellent guy to do business with, great communications, can highly recommend

to fit the e36 lump into an e30 you have to change the sump, change the rocker cover and change the exhaust manifold and then remove the knock sensors, and use the e30 engine mounts, then simply use the existing wiring loom - not to difficult if you have an e30 engine

Thanks to the two people who posted replies to my M42 AFM wiring diagram, now do any of you have a wiring diagram for an AFM (model not specific) it is just for me to understand what is happening as i am going to fit an MAF to my 318is. Will be very grateful if someone could help. (I have a piggy ba...

thank you guys that is just what i wanted

hi guys, anyone have a wiring diagram for the wires going into to AFM or know were i can get one for the m42 model (E30)

hello guys, i rally an e30 318is have coil overs fitted front and rear, spring rates 180lb / inch at front and back. I find that getting traction out of slow / tight corners is a problem, was going to try different ride hieghts / spring rates etc and wondered if anyone had any advice. Trouble I foun...

gong to try to get a MAF meter to work on a 318is - need to know what the wires coming out of the AFM are / do, anyone know?

Have any of you fitted an oil cooler to a 318is? I rally mine and it gets very hot when thrashed! If anyone has any info ie were to buy parts etc i would be grateful

has anyone had one rebuilt or bought spares ie plates for them if so could you tell me where

thanks

what a f***ing idiot sorry guys (have trouble with cm only work in mm - know excuse i know) / and thanks for measuing them

jon finch

you measured an insert for me at 22cm that was the diameter of the rod could you please tell me the total length of it (the chrome section)

jon finch

cheers mate

have any of you got an insert kicking around off an e30 and would not mind measurng the length of the piston (the chrome part) at its full extent.

thanks

Hello Tim, my name is Jon Finch, I am very interested in what you are doing - I currently rally an e30 318is which has had quite a few mods done to it, just bought a piggy back ecu unit from performance power to try to get more bhp that way (I hope!). Anyway enough of that - I have just stripped an ...

i know that this has been brought up before, but i can you tell me will a wheel with an offset of ET30 run closer to the stut than an offset of ET25

thanks

they do fit onto the i.s. but you have to swap the ring gear around as the 325 one is slighty larger in diameter and the tooth pitch is slightly different hence the starter motor will not engage if they are not swapped.

hope this helps

Ant - cannot find your phone no. i an the bloke who rallies an e30 318is and got one of your zone3 chips to work in my car, approx a year ago (car still going strong) my question is that i have now had extensive work carried out on the head and inlet side if i buy a fully mappable piggy back ecu uni...

does anyone out there know if the e30, 4pot M3 gearbox will bolt onto a 325 - is the bolt pattern the same
cheers

does anyone know if it is possible to replace the air flow meter (a 318is) with a mass air flow meter and get the car to work. Reason for asking is i am trying to improve to air into the engine and know the the air flow meter is very restrictive. Already have big throttle body, mapped ecu etc

has anyone removed the rubber trim which runs around the car approx half way up the side on the outside of the car (318is in my case) on the front wind and rear quarter - i have done the one that goes along the door would like to remove and re fit if possible

e36 engine will fit but you have to change the sump, cam shaft cover, exhaust manifold and may be the spigot bearing depanding on your input shaft all very easy especially as you have an e30 318is engine
