E30 Zone

just went from 318 to 323,same horse-different jockey,lot of variables in there ,gearbox, bigger diff,larger front struts-buy yourself a shitter with the motor you want and have a crack at it yourself,youll be surprised how easy it is and you get an intimate knowledge of your cars workings.

Goodbye Baur turd

ah the joys of owning a collectable,chromie baur with no plastic b#$shit, rarer than rocking horse sh#t in a few years time ,one destroyed on top gear makes it one less and just a bit more rarer thanks top gear.

We did get the 325iS. Pretty much the same spec as the Euro "Sport". I've seen them go for up to $20K Ok, so not the super hot SAf version I remember reading about. There is a fantastic lachs one near where I live - 16" alpinas, black leather, fully loaded. I have to stop for a drool when I drive p...

having a coupe and a baur with similar suspension,the baur embarrasses the coupe in the handling stakes ,you wouldnt think a little chop of the roof could make so much difference,lighter up top than a coupe and not suffering from the sloppy handling and scuttle shake of a cabrio i prefer a baur over...

Alas, the pre-'88 chromey 6-pots, 320i and 323i use analogue L-Jetronic, which is not chippable like the later facelift Motronic cars.

BMW suck at cupholders! E30 - none E39 - two front (fragile) two rear (always broken) E46 - none in the front, touring has two in the rear centre armrest which are useless unless you're a rear seat passenger with anorexia. An aftermarket drinks holder for the E30 would be great :) e46 has an option...

I quite like the TC1 and 2 :o: No takers even for a Baur M3 :drive: http://www.herzkasper.de/bmw/m3baur2.jpg That looks so wrong, Mtec 2 poiler with flared arches and a wannabe convertible :roll: owning a baur i find the convertables seem to lack something-personality i think they call it.ultimatel...

that my friend is a shame,

thanks guys that article is a beauty,shall start looking for a similar product down here in aus

just after a bit of info on carpet dyeing,the carpet in my baur is in great condition but is faded it is supposed to be black but is now a grey which wouldnt be too bad except it hasnt faded evenly,any tips guys?

just uprated a baur from 1800 to 2300,i found the cheapest way overall is to buy a donor car with the upgrade motor you want, that way you get everything for the conversion plus the uprated front struts and springs. other things to consider is the diff ratio also,when swapping my motor i thought abo...

just wrecking a 84 323, the rear springs are blue bilstiens and the fronts are black bilstiens,does anyone know what this signifies?

m-jermyn,bit of advice,what would you do to a 323 m20 to get it going without swapping motors as i just swapped it in 2 weeks ago got a deal i couldnt refuse ,nother new south aussie here also

just up graded motors in my 318 to a m2023,car usually does 1000k a week to and from work,never let me down blew a heater hose one night coming home from work so i just kept going with the temp guage right thru the red,drove about 80-90k like that ,fixed the hose and refilled it(it took about 8 litr...

poolnoodle just upgraded from M10 1800 to M20 2300 power is a sh#tload better but still don"t have the option of chipping,plus would also extract as much out of the M20as possible within reason.maybe the 325 efi/ecu might be worth considering,the 2.7 stroker would be the ultimate for me but the fund...

thanks DAIMLERMAN i appreciate that,will get onto him.

makes it bloody easy to know the build year at a glance

ive noticed reading on this forum that you guys refer to different letters for rego -K reg and the like, what do these letters relate .to ?
here in aus we just have the same rego plates for basically the life of the car unless you put personal plates on it.

quick question on chips,i have an 85 318 baur which has just gained the running gear out of a late 84 323 motor,box,front & rear ends ,it runs cold air induction and large pipe with headers,was wondering if i can get a chip for it just to optimize its potential without doing more mods to it at this ...

hi guys, am chasing a new black locking strip for the windscreen in my 85 baur,it has a chrome one at present but it is weathered and looks like crap,also chasing the clip that holds them in also in black.
this price should include freight to australia.
thanks BOBCAT.

yeah nuther aussie here as well, read from start to finish,some great info here.
got an 85 baur just transplanted a323 into it,motor,gearbox,frontend and rearend ,supertidy car but motor just too tired,upgrade makes it into a new car.

A new E36 BMW 328i (2.8cc) cost the equivelent of UK £100,000 in Singapore. Imagine what new E30's cost and what second hand car prices are like. :eek: yep sadly we in australia tend to pay a premium in postage also,the freight rate from the states works out cheaper for us but the range available i...

just did a swap on my bimmer,323 into 318 baur, the 323 runs the big diff-318 has the smaller one
(1)are these centres interchangeable -same axles same driveshaft
(2)which ratio is best ,the 318 is 3.64:1,the 323 is 3.45:1
thanks in advance.

[quote="poolnoodle"]If you are patient and make some contacts (on here, BMW Owners Club or Eurocca) you will get a good one in Australia. I got mine totally uncracked, for $120. Scour Euro wreckers is my tip. The dash mats are :puke: Oh, and welcome to the zone - the ANZAC contingent is g rowing :D[...

ive got one of those dash mats ,they do the job but are not real flattering,might explore the option of importing some over as there is a ready market over here for them

THANKS ARETHA mine is very straight and a good fit ,when it is closed it sits flush with its surrounding,the rubber seal around the opening has a ratty area in it,iwas wondering if this would contribute and whether these are readily available

when i mean cracked i mean totally ratsh*# generally lots of cracks and no defined pattern of cracking,
replacement dashpads are very expensive to get even second hand-$700-$900 dollars aus-approx 400-500 pounds if you can get them .

my 318i baur regularly gets 550-580km to a tank/100m=160k so around 350m a tank.

one of the biggest issues with e30s in australia is finding one with an uncracked dash pad.
is this just an issue with us due to the heat or is this common every where?

320,323 and 325 are all the same

just after info/advise on the seal on the liftout panel of a baur roof,it doesnt leak water but gets a whistle up at speed.
is this seal a replacement part or is there some other way of quietening this down,any help appreciated
