If the cooling was ok on your 2.0 it be ok for the 2.5.Exhaust should be ok but bmw did do funny things with their exhausts so check first it matches and if it does? again it should be ok. You can use your own transmission (2.5 clutch would be recommended) if you want but its not 100% perfect for th...

I had a sump gasket go on mine near the rear.I part fixed mine with a piece of gasket sheet and some instant gasket paste after dropping the sump down a inch or 2.It took a couple of hours and has been leak free for over a year now

Quite a few people i know have scratched their paintwork with a flexiblade,so make sure every little spec of dirt has been removed after sponging and hosing.

20ish for me for urban driving which aint to bad i suppose, only a few mpgs down on bmws official book figures when the e30 325i was spanking new and when you think mines getting on a bit now and must be well clogged up with soot and everything lol!

Take a look here http://www.realoem.com/bmw/ and see if bmw sell what you are after.

Ive gone through them all mk1's,mk2's golfs and e30's and from my experience a similar age mk2 golf certainly dont rust any worse than a similar age e30.They both have their prone rust spots but nothing overly major and thats probably why theres still loads on the road today. Build quality the e30 e...

Surprising that fuchs supersyn aint proper 100% synthetic.I wonder which ones are proper no argument 100%??

Yep i can! their prices are that good i bought my kenwood headunit and some jbl comps from them a few months ago at a amazingly good price

How much do they go for in good condition??? BTW its a manual with full leather recaro interior and its done 111k miles.

Ive had both and both have their good and bad points but as im not 'blinkered'

i would have either again without doubt.

OK now the list is getting longer 1. ECU chip 2. Radiator 3. Oil cooler for the gear box 4. Coding chip for the Dash Board 5. AFM Other please add. How many of you did the 325i conversion did use back the same old 320i parts? Ive been there and done that conversion on my old 320i touring and i woul...

I use to get mid to late 20s with mine on the motorway and mid teens around town and that was driving like a granny most of the time.

Be careful with bjv ( http://www.wheelrefurbishing.com/index.htm ) i had 4 15" e30 bbs done by them last summer and the paint finish was very very average,to tell the truth i could of done better with a can of silver spray but i guess Ãƒ”šÃ‚£25 a wheel including caps was fair enough price for the me...

Best budget tyre i reckon and worth every penny.

Very good quality..I had a set on my old touring and the finish and casting was top notch.

well i take my hat of to yer,cuz no one ive spoke to can get that outa a 325i.. congrats though :) ive just bought it so ive been putting my foot down alot,had to check everything out you know! :P im hoping i can squeeze 20 MPG at least outherwise dont know if i can even keep it TBH cheers Nobody i...

bm-wise in bexleyheath (02083035211) and theres a couple in Mitcham,cant remember their names at the minute.

21.9 around town 8O On my ex manual 325i touring i only got around 16mpg indicated (not overly accurate i know!) on the obc and my mate in hes auto sport vert only gets 14mpg 8O and i reckon my figure of 16mpg wasnt far off from the true figure,it did cost a small fortune to run. BTW town driving fo...

How i found out about this common problem was from a one of these mr clutch fitters when i asked about how much it was to replace the clutch and rear oil seal at the same time cos of my leak..So he saved me a bit of wedge with hes knowledge with bmw's

Yep always check gasket first.I had the same problem on my old 320i touring..I part repaired the rear of the sump gasket and i didnt even take sump totally off,i just dropped it down a inch or so and repaired in situ.

Yes it does,my old 89 320i touring had a twin pipe (from manifold) exhaust system just like the 325i. When i did my engine change to a 325i i used the 325i exhaust manifold and the original 320i exhaust system.All mated up perfectly. 8) Well maybe someone fitted a 325i exhaust to your 320 before yo...

Follow the bottom rad hose up to the cylinder head and the thermostat is in the housing/pipe off the head,i think 3 bolts hold it on.

Try adjusting the handbrake cables first,the shoes aint self adjusting so you need to adjust them every now and then..The cables adjusters are under the centre console.

I wouldnt of thought a set of 318is shocks would be a upgrade on 325i m-tech dampers...Wouldnt they be under dampered?? due to the lighter 318is engine.

Might be best to check part numbers before you fit.

Cam oil seal i reckon. He just said he's had a new cam oil seal fitted. It's probably the front crank seal with the oil leaking down that low, it's hard to tell from the pictures though. It could well be a bad seal on the camshaft but I have my doubts. It could also be a bad seal on the head gasket...

Cam oil seal i reckon.

Backs should be alright,but fronts will be more heavier sprung due to the heavy 325i lump..I would think it would sit higher on the front with the 325i springs fitted.

My old white 325i touring was a pain in the arse to keep clean. I found when it was polished it looked brilliant but if i gave it just a wash without polishing there would be this grey film on the paint that made it look dull :( you could rub a finger on the paint and actually see the dirty/grey fil...

Either zymol or autoglym both give a good shine.

Thats not too bad.

How much did it cost??

Magnatec is not a fully syn, it's a semi (modified mineral oil) I don't personally rate it. You can buy a lot better for the same money. Cheers Simon I wish you posted this last week! :hammer: cos i was in my local bmw dealer last week getting some parts and funny enough we were talking about oil a...

Bmw recommend Castrol.

I used the 10k stuff on my old 320i (120k) touring and that did perk the car up a bit

and that car really did need perking up!!
