E30 Zone

Need advice....my E30 keeps loosing battery charge. Drove it home the other day and have just gone to start it and nothing, after only two days. The only thing I can think of is that it must be draining power from somewhere but where to start looking?? any ideas or common faults to look for first? I...

Wanted for 1987 325i with p/s but no air con. Any pointers to locate appreciated.

Please can I have some advice... I posted a few weeks ago as my Sport was stolen. :-( Have just had a call from insurance company to offer very silly money to settle (£1100). Am quite cross. Insurance handler is obviously focussing on any negative he can like the fact that my car is a registered cat...

No.....!!

Sorry chaps..am clearly being dim.... am missing the joke?. Having had my bimmer nicked last night think it's time I got a better one to replace! So is this one reasonably priced or not?!

Am I being tight or does this seems a bit steep? Any one know this car?

Today is a very sad day, went outside this morning to empty the bin...and the drive is empty. Where my pride and joy of last 10 years should have been, just an empty driveway. Have been kicking myself all day long as to why did not try and squeeze in the garage every night - but there you go. Reg is...

Help.... have lost my keys. BMW charged me £30 for a replacement key using the chassis no but that doesn't work either. I accept the door locks could have been changed but I know for sure the boot lock's original. Have tried filing down the rough edges of new key but to no avail. Seems like I'm goin...

come 2 mention it yes the idle can get uneven and yes sometimes she tries to stall.....new oil pump then???

Have noticed when hot and idling in traffic the red dash engine oil light starts to flash. Give some revs and it goes out....do I need to top up my oil??

Turn the key - nothing, not even any warning lights. never in 8 years has this happened before. Even the hazard warning lights and central locking are out. The battery is fine and I know is sening out power. The wierd thing is I only Went into Waitrose to get my dinner!! The thing was still hot when...

Just had a chance to take a look under my pride and joy - shock, horror....the battery tray is totally rotten at the bottom...yes it's a sport. Rust has also crept up onto the rear valance. My question is - what to do about it and how much will it cost. No question about getting rid....financialy we...

try BM autos...just google it. He's very good.

Have not driven me e30 for a while. Upon start up at the weekend I notice the heater, electric windows and internl lights have all failed. The abs light on the dash is on too. I must say I have both n/s and o/s headlight and fog lights off the car at the moment....but surely that wont effect the int...

Should I do it? Will I blow up the engine if I go an do what I will do...which is cane it!!

Every so often my 325i sport struggles for power. It's a really intermittent problem but happened again the othr day. Put your foot down and she just does not have the power. It's like the fuel is not getting into the engine. I have been told that the fuel line is rusty and will need replacing at so...

After having a fellow look at my pride and joy (Mtech 2 1989 325i sport) today -he's pointed out a bubble rust spot next to the sunroof and a rust spot on the scuttle on the passenger side. The roof rust seems like it will be fiddley because of the need to remove the sunroof first? The scuttle also ...

nice....thanks!!

I agree -do you know i this drilling template has a part number or exactly what I shouldbe asking for?

Have caughed up and bought a new front panel direct from BMW but when I've offered it up to my pride and joy (Mtech2 325i) Have found it to be missing what seems like five holes which would take the clips that would hold the top of the mtech plastic front apron onto the front panel. These holes are ...

Am looking to buy a set of door covers and sills from a e3o cab to fit onto my 2 door e30 sport saloon. I think the door covers will fit, but not sure about the sills? what do we think!

how do you get the foam from the bonet underside? seems to be stuck on? need to get if off for a respray job.

thanks chaps - much appreciated!!

mine is ben (i've tech 2 sport)t, so need a new one - a couple of questions:
have seen one on egay from a 320i - will it fit my 325?

Mine has a black rectangular box painted above the bottom air cooling duct, what's that for?

should I just play safe and buy a genuine bmw part?!

it's not rust, its the cross member below the rad...it's bent and need replacing.

I need a new bonnet for my tech 2 325i sport. will any e30 bonnet of the same age car fit?

Does anybody know a decent mobile welder operying in Bekshire? Any contact details would be much appreciated.

Hi,

Can I have a price for above for both sides of my E30 325i sport. Do you need the chassis number?

One question that hasn't been asked yet, is are we sure this is a genuine Sport? There's a considerable difference in the value of a genuine original Sport in good condition, and an otherwise identical Sport 'lookalike'. If you can confirm it is a Sport (V5 is not reliable evidence), then make sure...

[quote="E30BeemerLad"]They won't got for it unless first of all you can convince them that it is worth about £3500+. Usually, once repairs exceed about 60% of pre-accident value they will write it off due to the risks of further damage being found on dismantling, which then causes a major headache f...

If you want to retain the salvage, which you can with Cat C, the usual rule applied for salvage value on cars under £3k is 10% of pre-accident value. i.e car valued at £3k, you get £2700 and keep car. If the car is at their chosen garage/ assessors you will have to pay transportation costs to get i...
