when you checked for a spark, was there fuel on the spark plug or were they bone dry? just had my fuel pump go @ 143k miles. caused the problem you mentioned, and before it completely died, it used to not fire when warm. (ie. it wouldnt fire up 1st key turn, but it would 2nd or 3rd key turn), and ne...

ahhh dont worry about it, gave the fuel pump a tap, and checked all the connections and all is well

hi all, got into me car this morning, will not start. E30 320i touring 1991 M20. battery and alternator fine as it will crank for endless amounts of time, but will not catch. i assume this is fuel related, fuel pump, or fuel pump relay (and fuel filter). so can you tell me, which relay is the one fo...

hummm.....took it all apart, put it all back together again, and its all ok again. the stereo was completely rewired before i got the car, so i guess it could have been the illumiate wire from the old stereo wires, who knows

I've got a bizarre problem with the lights! on the way back from the MOT, i saw the licence plate, rear lights red dots flash up on my overhead panel. i found the rh sidelight, rh rear light, no-plate lights, instrument cluster and lights all not working too. checked the manual and narrowed it down ...

you are the man! just the info i was looking for!!!

i am getting a viscous fan coupling anyway and checking the rad when replacing as i had both these go on my E36 coupe M42, but i didnt experience any coolant loss on that one, just overheating in traffic

i've got a similar prob. on my 320i mine uses coolant, (maybe 2 weeks till the coolant light on, then i need to top up like about 1 ltr or so) usually sits on half on the temp guage. but sat in traffic for maybe 20mins or so it starts to rise. once it gets to 3/4 on the guage i stick the fans on ful...

conceptwheels.be do them, and so do H&R, both are 1pc adaptors. and can be from 15mm wide.
you could also get them knocked up at a machine shop. as the holes dont overlap for this pattern. they clear ok when you are drilling M12x1.5, its only when they are M14 drilled you can get problems.

can be safe, just depends on many factors. like if the rear pad is solid (not have holes in) if there are any other holes round the wheel. if they are not being welded up completely. then the different stud patterns cannot clash. i've seen many a good safe job, some which look horrendous but actuall...

am i being stupid here, but is there a way to remove the touring boot cover quickly without unbolting the whole unit? so i have quick access to the whole area when the seats are down?

for the life of my i cant see it....hahahaha

haaaaaaaaaahahaha

or they will help correct the offset of the 5x120 1/3 series or aftermarket options that are being put on.
but if low offset 5/6/7 series 5x120 wheels are planning to be put on you would be dead right....would be shocking, and have fitment probs

H&R do 20mm ones, they are not listed under BMW.
you need to look at the VW ones, ie. golf mk2. as VW 4 studs run the same centre bore and stud pattern as the E30.

the H&R part no for 20mm ones is 40275571 as far as i know.

conceptwheels.be (as mentioned above) also do 4x100 to 5x120

cheers guys!, i do want std BMW ones, just wondered if there was an OEM source rather than a dealer! i'll try cotswolds!

Quick ones for you people! 1) the rear badge (320i on mine) if i take it off, will it leave holes in the bodywork? or are they just stuck on, 2) my BMW badges are fading, i know they are stuck on, and leave 2 holes. but is there somewhere else other than a main BMW dealer where i can get replacement...

how did u get the alternator re-earthed ?? thanks. Some versions of the E30 have the alternator mounted in rubber bushes, and these have a seperate earth lead for the alternator, hidden away underneath. Even alternators which are bolted metal to metal can still occasionally give problems, when corr...

you are running your amp with the "remote" connected on the amp and connected to the blue remote wire on the back of the stereo? to make it switch on and off? if not have you put a switch in to turn the amp off manually? if you havent done either of those things, then your amp is permenantly on. dra...

turned out to be a bad earth, some reason the earth was shot the alternator. done some re-earthing and now getting 14.4v out the alternator, and 13.8v at the battery. (was 14.4v alternator, 12.7 @ battery before re-earthing) so problem solved

ok, my fully charged new battery went flat in 1 day,

i will be checking the meter readings on thurs

Hi Everyone, im new to this forum, just picked up a 91' 320i touring. picked it up with a charging fault. so...Changed the Altenator (with reconditioned BMW one). battery light etc all went out. then changed the battery (spanking new bosch), been a day now without losing charge. but i cannot check t...
