How much was that do we think? 12?

Is there a Lemforder-type alternative for the offset front top mounts? Stealers are too expensive :( not really, when i saw the price i went for eibach/spc adjustable top mounts but they're nearly £400+ now compared to the sub £200 i paid nearly 10yr's ago. Lemforder could put a £50 premium on thei...

Pure zone gold. Right there.

One question. What colour is your labrador?
im aussie so what do you mean by Labrador?

I assume this was what he was getting at: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guide_dog

PLEASE TELL ME SOMEONE HAS THE PICS CASHED ON THERE PC?! SOS HEEEELP!

The S38B35 was based on the M88/3, but with changes including a dual-row timing chain, camshaft, compression ratio lowered to 9.8:1 and fitted with a catalytic converter.

Come on now, does Google switch off overnight or something? This was the top image result ffs.

I'm sure I saw a post in the external ads section with a 0 mile 323i that mentioned some kind of grease marks on the diff from factory handling - in addition to the 's' . Something like a black ring or cup-shape.

What pisses me off is the cost of insuring an essentially unmodified 325 rep (a m20'd 316) is double the cost of insuring a car born as a 325. Even more stupid is it costs less if the car started as a 320 - the cost is in the power gain over standard. Regardless of the fact that it is a rep of a sta...

Part received quickly and well packaged. Very positive!

Sorry to revive an old thread but can we conclude that a facelift loom will fit in a pre-facelift car? Specifically a facelift 2dr 325 in a pre-face 2dr 325. Expected benefits are to remove Clifford bodgery and update the C101 plug for M1.3. I assume the headlight/fogs/taillight plugs are different,...

Hi, My chromie 325 has a hole that has come through the bulkhead above the pedalbox, leaking water into the footwell. The hole has appeared around the bracket that the dash/ecu is mounted on, near where the cable comes through. I wanted the zones thoughts on how much a good repair might cost. I'm co...

As a non-BMWCC member with a fairly nice (washed) car, how do I go about showing her off?

How many bar will it boost to.. Im curious too. This will run at a similar pressure to a fly's fart I'd have thought. The reason it won't work work is due to the difference between a fan and a compressor - a compressor is for compressing air (what we want here) and a fan moves air almost without co...

Either you're missing a zero, or I don't believe you.

OP - don't go TPF&T, it drive almost all premiums up nowadays.

well there you go.. I find it hard to imagine they'd be insuring almost double the cars value in trinkets for the same price. I always found flux to be expensive so haven't had any experience with claim woes.. Sounds like the place to go though It's all moot in my experience. Everybody has a recomm...

I guess it's different if you have an agreed value cover including the bits? If you mashed the kit, bent some tidy suspension, gave your lsd input bearing a shunt & bled all over your lotus white leathers in the process, I guess they wouldn't cover those bits? No that was the strange thing - all de...

Whenever I have insured a modified car (always with Flux - don't like them anymore though), only the engine mods have increased the premium. The guy asked what else had been done after he'd given me an estimate quote - the price did not change with the addition of kit, suspension, brakes, LSD diff, ...

Swapped the heater valve for a nice new one, but forgot the correct position of the two cooling pipes from the engine bay! One runs from the head at the bulkhead end, the other runs along the length of the engine, which way round do they plug into the heater pipes? Facelift m20, cheers.

I've resurrected this old thread as I am repairing my own drivers door lock. My repair kit did not come with grease as the American repair kits appear to (source: e30tech thread). What type of grease should be used? I was thinking silicone for some reason. Any input is much appreciated.

How can 'stance' not have died when the guy with the 206, lowered by removing the front springs altogether, limped back to a garage with a bilstein poking through his bonnet (ooo-er)? Then there is the c0ck with the e28 (was it rusty?) who lowered to the point of making his rear drive shafts \_/-sha...

I think insurance is a scandal waiting to happen. Like banking it's an industry backed by government legislation. Knowing this they proceed to abuse their position. These companies have no sense of proportionality when it comes to mods. You pay a grand+ for declaring lowering springs and I guarantee...

Yeah.. except the 'future' of hydrogen production is supposed to be extraction from fossil fuels. So we will still be competing for the black stuff and getting boned by tax into the bargain.

I like the Jay Leno approach to car power sources - the more electric and hydrogen cars on the road, the more unleaded fuel will be available for us to put in our old cars.
