E30 Zone

Have a look at the control module normally located in the drivers foot well behind the speaker, not sure what side it will be on your M3. If it's damp then it may have given up. Take the speaker out, and it's below that, a black box about the size of a packet of cigs.

Or you can butcher it and I'll send you a replacement glove box ?

It wasn't you that just loved it, rac showing 7 previous happy owners, last one had it since March 2001

Me too !! and they all think they've got the right to be on the road

Interesting ! make sure you're insured !

Happened to me a few years ago in my M Tech 1 Sport, was having fun in it one day, pulled up to a set of lights and noticed it was running on 5. I think number one had snapped. Engine still ran though obviously didn't sound right running on 5. Head came off, replaced more than just the broken one an...

Theo, the very same. Drives sweet, rotten as a pear

Reason I ask is I've just acquired a german spec 323i. In the service book it looks like it's a November 1983 model. Is that quite early ? Some snaps of the car will be on here soon as it's got some ( well I think so ) rare bits.

Just removed a set of lamps from my facelift E30, any ideas where the relay is located as I may as well take that out too ?

Rolling ? Yes, am using it to get to the station and back each day ! Let me know your e-mail address and I'll get you some snaps tomorrow eve, if there's any areas you want snaps of specifically I'll do my best,

Jerran

Did you manage to get a decent shell ? I saw the snaps of the one with all the rot ? I've got a 320 2 door I'll be breaking soon, not any way as bad as yours, has got 5 months mot ( though did have until I lost the certificate ) any use ? It's just a basic 320 manual in white, can e-mail snaps if yo...

Thanks for the reply, I did mean both,just wanted to make sure they both came with me prior to me scrapping the car

Where is the wash wipe relay located for the SE's ?

all help appreciated !

Can anyone help me with the link for OBC removal ? Got a breaker arriving soon and thats one of the first things to come out ! Also what two wires to bridge once removed for the car to start ? I removed one a year ago and after the car wouldn't start, Ant helped me though I've forgotten which wires ...

I've never seen my test station test the front fogs on any car, I'm 99.9 % positive they aren't part of the test. The rears are of course, any doubt get them to check in their book they'll have on site which lists different parts of the car and reasons for issuing a failure.

Had a Sport M Tech 1, battery in boot, all 325's I've had ditto. As far as I know all 325's apart from the Tourers & the Cabs have the battery in the back. All others it's up front unless anyone knows otherwise. The SE part of the spec of the car had nothing to do with the battery being in the back ...

Do you want the one of the one I'm scrapping this week ?

Cheers chaps ! Now I know what to put in the title when I flog them on ebay, for some reason I thought they were Wolfrace !
Removed my image until I can work out how to re-size it.

I think I've got one of the plugs your after on the 320 I'm breaking. Let me have your e-mail address and I'll send you a snap of the offside wing of my car and it might be the bit your after,

Jerran

Someone must know, clearly they are Wolfrace though anyone know the particular type ?

I'm sure someone has got a set on their E30,
your help is appreciated,

I was shocked too ! I thought initially that it could be done without removing the head then when my Dad told me his mechanic had the head on the bench I started thinking Ãƒ”šÃ‚£Ãƒ”šÃ‚£Ãƒ”šÃ‚£Ãƒ”šÃ‚£Ãƒ”šÃ‚£Ãƒ”šÃ‚£Ãƒ”šÃ‚£ +vat,but nope, Ãƒ”šÃ‚£175 all in,a very handy mechanic to know, he did a head g...

This happened on my Sport when I was out on one of my thrash sessions,think it was on number one,head had to come off though new head gasket and all the work plus four rockers came to Ãƒ”šÃ‚£175

This is what you need.....

I'll have another look for the gong tomorrow,think it's missing from the 320 I'm breaking. I think I'd crap myself if the someone had wired mine up and replaced the gong for a horn !!!

That gong that looks like a horn,where is it on the car ?! Should it be above the drivers legs ? Can't find the one on mine that I've just removed though the panel above the drivers knees was missing. I want to make sure I've got the full kit when I come to sell it

Bugger ! I wish I could help,it could well be something to do with the green plug Ant mentioned for my post as that must be connected to the ignition somewhere hence my failure to start.

Mate you're a star ! Opened glovebox,found connector,located some dodgy old bit of wire,shoved it in,turned key & six cylinders burst into life ! Result.

Any pics of your wheels ?! Mine's in members rides I think.

Before I offer my obc for sale can I make sure I've got everything ?
OBC Unit that goes in dash
OBC ecu that piggy backs normal ecu
indicator stalk
Loom that went from obc unit to ecu
temp sensor when I get it out !

Gong is missing on mine assuming it fitted into panel above drivers knees

Just removed the OBC and wiring from my 320,though now it doesn't want to start ?! Anything obvious I need to check ? I only removed the wires that I needed to,ECU still plugged in etc etc Prior to removal it wasn't using the OBC immobiliser code thing so it can't be that ? Anyone experienced this b...

Thanks ! Looks like I'm in for a knuckle removing/four letter word spouting weekend,

Jerran

I'm going to remove the 13 button OBC from my 320i SE this weekend, what are all the bits and where are they so I can offer it as a full package ? Anyone else done this before ? ( I'm sure someone has )

your help appreciated,
Jerran

I could always use a few spares,I'm in Enfield. Mainly after seats for a two door plus lamps/diff and various other stuff. Let me know if I can be any help.

After inspecting it whilst giving it two coats of polish today I reckon it's had paint at some time in it's life though prob a while ago. At some time it's also been in a jig as it's got the clamp marks along the sills, though still got factory colour stickers etc under the bonnet. You can see why w...

cheers ! just spent the morning cleaning it so though about time it featured on the zone.

Had it for over a year,has been seen at a few of the Lakeside meets. All standard and still very quick. Engine: No mods just recent belt/pump/tensioner Suspension: Standard Brakes : Standard Wheels : Guess what ? Yep. Exterior : No prizes for guessing ! just a tender wheelarch slowly returning to na...
