E30 Zone

i think anything old, which is quite rare is considered a classic... obviously e30s are a lot rarer than they used to be and will potentially soon become classic status.. obviously an m3 e30 would be considered classic because they are so rare, things like ford cortinas also.. etc

I would define a classic car - as anything over a certain age well looked after and maintained bodywork in mint condition!

what do i need to check them for? im guessing corrosion of the plugs? if you could tell me where abouts these are located would be good, picture would be handy lol

i would be up for this

you got a pm dude

hi all recently purchased a 1990 320i (has the m20 engine) with low miles its got 86000 on the clock and runs great only issue with it is in the morning when i start it up or leave it for a long period of time, it starts and the rev counter swings from between 700 up to about 1500 back and forth, an...

god knows what mpg im averaging, the bullshitometer doesnt really give accurate figures

wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction, am looking to do a weber carb conversion on mine to get rid of the original pierburg which is crap and causes stalling when starting from cold due to the automatic choke being knackered, i need a carb with the kickdown linkage because its an auto...

or has anyone got a link where i can purchase a carb for a 316 auto that has the kickdown linkage

Hi Guys, was looking at getting hold of a weber carb conversion for a 316 auto, was wondering where I can get a carb that has the linkage for the kickdown, if this isnt possible then is it ok to use one without the kickdown linkage and how much will this decrease the performance if it all? and what ...

congrats on your purchase ollie, own a 316 carb myself. As others have said do get the weber conversion as if it has the standard pierburg on it it will be crap and most likely stall lots when cold unless you let it warm up for about 15mins in the morning, this is whats happening to mine and am goin...

Just wanting to know, have seen a few E30s about and given the peeps a wave but no responses as of yet haha, look out for me I own a Lachs Silver 316 Reg: F36BJL! Would be nice to get to know some people from the area who are into their E30s as much as me

hey guys, used to live in Watford, well Bushey to be exact but am now located in the Brighton area, when you say you used to drink in Moons do you mean the Moon Under Water in Watford high street? lol.

as above, check the viscous (do the newspaper test), also check the thermostat, you said you have bled the system, have you turned the heaters on and are you getting constant hot air out of them or are they blowing hot/cold, if so then you have an airlock and havent bled the system correctly, but i ...

my rear o/s arch was knackered, had a hole going right the way through not into the boot but into the rear quarter panel, spent a day and a half on it in total, firstly did 2 layers of p40 to fill the hole and then let it dry over night, then the following day i had to build up a non existant arch l...

would also check rear arches as well as these tend to go on E30s, have just rebuilt my entire rear arch this afternoon, the area inside the rear arch/quarter panel can also rust, mine had rusted right the way through so had to but some P40 on it

... car cancer

water should be running at half way no hotter than halfway, if it is you might need to check your viscous fan or possibly bleed the cooling system, not sure on the oil one though sure someone else will post an answer to that one!

sounds good dude, if you still got the carb that would be great help, will pm you my mob number in due course!

ahh you must mean Lewes prison, yeah wouldnt mind that, as long as you got the carb as well as the E30 is my only runner, so will have a bit of a problem taking the cowling off :S

where abouts are you located, are you localish to the brighton area? if you got the carb that would be good too!

sounds good to me, what would you be wanting to swap for?

is it quite easy to fit through the dash to the engine bay or am i going to have to remove quite a lot of stuff?

Hi guys, Was looking at putting a weber conversion on my 316 carb auto as the pierburg is pretty crap to be honest, have to wait for like 10mins in the morning on a cold start before driving the car otherwise it will stall as the auto choke doesnt seem to be working, so was looking at fitting a manu...

Hi guys, recently bought a E30 316 M10 1.8 carb model for £300 is quite a clean example, however was wanting to get rid of the Pierburg carb as this has been on the car since it was new and am worried about the reliability of it as will be using the car to drive up to gatwick each day from brighton,...
