Offset of 15 won't clear at the front struts. In case of 45mm struts, you will need 3mm spacers. In case of 51mm struts, you will need 5mm.

205 is stretching way too much. Usually 215 are taken.

The size of the spacers depends not only on the offset, but on the shaping of the rim itself. 7x15 BMW Cross Spokes will fit with the mentioned spacers, size 15mm. I've tried MIM Cross Spokes as well. Same size, quite similar design. They don't fit with the the mazda caliper. A 7x17 with 215/40/17 w...

Got 2 sets of 4. Diameter is 49mm, genuine Hartge parts, as can be seen at the voucher.

23 GBP, shipping included from Germany. Paypal possible.

Gave Hartge a call. According to the guy at the phone, they still sell the center badges.

I'm living next to Beckingen, where Hartge is located. I could give them a call...

I know the original EBA. It is slightly different and I consider my way to be easier.

This will work. It is a new one? If not, it is recommendable to replace the tensioning straps to ensure proper folding.

Yes. The VIN should show the details. Post it or send me a PM.

The digital clock and the 3 speed heater control were only issued to pre-pre Facelift cars. The Becker Mexico Headunits were extremly rare. But you may have a look at the wiring- if it is not modified, it would be different from the wiring usually used. If you are not sure, take a pic and post it he...

There are 2 versions: One is sewed in and the uses a zipper. BMW changed to the later version in late 91. Replacing the sewed is not a nice job, but possible. The old needs to be carefully cut out (only the stitching) without damaging the roof itself. The old window had a sealing compound, but I fou...

Resistance of the sensors should be 985 Ohm to 1,025 KOhm. Hope this the rigtht measurement in the UK, too.

The wheels shown at Pistonheads are MIM 1900. Size is 7x15, Offset 13. Won't fit without rolling the fenders.

Typical offset is 13 at the front for the 8,5x17. Spacers would be recommended in this case. The 21 will surely fit at the rear, but should be brought at least to the same offset as at the front.

Depending on wheel size, fenders should be at least rolled...

It's in german, but many pics to look at. In case of questions feel free to ask.

The vented disc is 22mm, the solid is only 12mm. The vented/ unvented parts of the brakes aren't interchangeable. For mounting the vented discs (which the 325 originally was equipped with) you need new calipers.

K5 is needed. My Mistake. I'm sorry

Seat heating is 13/14. Relay K7 is needed too.

What kind of Blaupunkt was mounted? There are some HU needing some kind of adapter. Even if you don`t understand german, you may have a look here. The pics could be interesting... http://e30-talk.com/e30-wikipedia/t-soundsystem-faq-39267.html Which year was your car made? Anyway, the following solut...

M3 has horizontal stitching as well.

Is the wiring modified in any way? Do you use a non-BMW headunit? The E30 wiring uses a unique system of combined grounds for the speakers that may cause such problems as you described.

Maybe you can post the used components in your car.

E30 M3 Convertible are the best. More expensive, but worthy.

The accessory plug delivers ignition. The wiring of the sunroof is simply plugged in. A relay is usually mounted between the plug and the wiring of the sunroof. Disconnecting here would only affect the function of the sunroof. The wires in the first picture are from the retrofit. Use a circuit teste...

It depends on the offset of the 9''. If the rim has an offset of 10 to 15, then it will fit under the fender with a 215 tire and flanging the angle.

You can use the larger Touring caliper with 35mm bore to increase brake performance a little at the rear axle.

I want the levers at their originated place. I would prefer to swap the seat parts over. I've done this already several times. Was in need to replace the seat heating too.

Don't worry about spring rates. Read my earlier post. If there is not enough space for the wheels, a high spring rate won't safe you. Use deflexion limiters or make the real deal and widen your fenders enough. And without wanting to offend you: with these tyres mounted, the springs are the least thi...

If you check the link http://www.akgmotorsport.com/e30products.html

They have weldable bracktes.

The M3 ARB is only 19mm in diameter. Connecting links are the same as used by a lot of other BMW. Shown here:

Yes. This is a cheap solution and would be an improvement.

Apex is a lot more uncomfortable than the Bilstein/Eibach setup. I've driven one too and it was not my liking.

M3 E30 Convertible, M3 E46, E36. It's up to you.

I would prefer the solution with the strut mounted connecting links and factory-made ARB now. The Eibach parts are a nice to have, but not really necessary. The M3-like option would be a lot cheaper and effective as well.

That this is not recommended is certainly known? Spring rates doesen't matter. If the wheel has no place to go and strikes the fender, the stiffness of the springs doesen't matter. An advantage is the negative camber, which allows the wheel to pass the fender. In your case, I would recommend spring ...

The problem with such a setup and the setup used at non M3's is the bad positioning of the connection links. This is cleared with mounting them at the struts. I can take a picture of my adjustable ARB- it can be clearly seen, that the CL are in bad ankle. A lot of effectiveness of the ARB is lost th...

Imho not an increase. Only the best effect possible of the ARB. The leverage itself isn't changed. The linkage at the control bar is a detour.

Maybe I get you wrong. Deadlock means that, was is refered in the manual as "anti-theft"? Is this correct?

The deadlock works always with the motors of the central locking. In a case of fail of the electrics, the drivers door can be unlocked by pulling the key a step further to the left.

The M3 link connects the ARB dirctly to the strut. Not the leverage itself is changed, rather the point where it can work. In any case, the M3 setup will support the ARB better.
