So what would be involved if the linkage has slipped? can it be readjusted or will parts need to be replaced?

My windshield wipers will move all the way across my windshield when on intermittent but when they stop they come to rest in the middle of the windshield (right in my line of sight) any ideas on what could be causing this? the motor works fine and moves them with no problem it just seems to be maybe...

ahh, it's a 325es, 1986. it has a LSD apparently but i live in the US so im guessing a garage would charge me an arm and a leg, if they would even do it.....?
So either way is it likely that it IS at the end of it's lifespan?? it functions fine, the noise is the only issue..

when driving, my differential whines/whirs quite noticeably. i was wondering if there's some kind of fluid or adjustment that i could make to quiet it down -- i've already replaced the fluid

yeah, it's an automatic- maybe i'll try replacing the cable or some of the pivoting points on the pedal itself...i guess it's not really a big deal though

For reasons i can't pinpoint, my accellerator pedal is very stiff to push down. the throttle reaponds fine, and the cable is free of any pinches or anything but it just feels really stiff...to the point where it can be tiring to drive-- anybody know of anything i could adjust or loosen to make it a ...

Im looking to buy this part - preferably in new condition but cant find it anywhere online, including the site mentioned on the picture ... could anybody point me in the direction of one of these online in new condition?? I would imagine they wouldnt be that hard to find http://www.bimmerwerkz.com/f...

yeah i'll probably take them off and paint them when i replace the timing belt.... that grey/metallic color looks awesome though

im looking to clean up my rocker cover but im not sure whether to clean it as best as possible with some type of commercial cleaner?? - - or if i should just take it off and repaint it?? if so what type paint would be best?

my 325es had some tuner-muffler thing fitted, so i removed it and attached a cheap muffler/backbox to it. it is quieter.... however doing highway speeds or up hills..etc.. i have noticed that it's not much of an improvement. What type of exhaust should i be looking for if i want to quiet mine down a...

yeah perfect thanks

>i hate those things but...

So what are these 'facelift bumper mounts' i see them mentioned frequently but how or where can i buy them?

i know my questions are getting repetitive, but im now wondering if THIS bumper will fit properly on my 325es (2 door) its a 1986 with the diving board bumpers. http://www.bavauto.com/fland.asp?part=BME%20301&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=googlebase&utm_source=BME%20301

yeah ill at least try them, the rest of the car is stripped of any aftermarket parts and i'm keeping everything low-profile so i dont think it would be too ridiculous of an addition, good advice thanks.

you mean $ ... maybe your right but i didnt think they looked that different - -when off at least and they seem pretty subtle compared to some modifications ive seen

wondering if somebody could post a picture of a bronze/beige colored e30 with the halo headlights, like these http://www.buyeurolights.com/8291-bmw-3-series-e30-proj-headlight-chrome-whalo-p-25341.html ---- im not sure if they're worth it or not so im just looking for a general idea - id like to see...

yeah i think thats it . .. are there any that would be more specific to a 325 e/es rather than the is/ix model? - - - - if there was an easier way to buy one in my area i certainly would...

Im looking for a text file , or maybe a printable version of the owners manual for my e30 its a 1986 325es if that helps. Another forum had one to download, however the link was unusable .. to me at least --thanks.

My 325es is an automatic, and it has a gear that is labeled 'S' - im guessing that stands for 'sport', but can anybody tell me what exactly it does in terms of the way the car drives? i know older SAABs also have a sport gear/button but i was never sure exactly what they did

{"if memory serves me right.... e30 lights can be drilled (one hole) to illuminate the outer ring give u the halo look........"} - i just saw this on another forum.. anybody have any idea what he means? http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showth ... p?t=255628

i was considering buying a pair of the 'halo' headlights for my '86 e30, however living in New York, US im not sure if they will be a legal replacement since there are certain laws against halogen headlights, can anyone tell me whether they are a type of incandescent bulb or if they're a bright whit...

im new to this site , i tried to post one but no luck - -however if you look under the 'rate my e30' page under my username jfogs i have posted a picture there . .its the wavy looking piece of rubber on the top part of the chrome bumper

The top rubber molding on my '86 325es is extremely warped and disfigured from heat and i am looking for one cheap, any ideas on sites where i could find that specific part used?
