E30 Zone

poly bushes should be lubricated on installation and periodically there after, my experience is that this seldom happens and the poly bush life span is considerably shorter than OEM rubber bushes.

the welding is a good fix but do yourself a favour and get a genuine sump guard making the pan stronger will not help prevent breakage if you hit something

I have used the sleeve method and original struts with e36 front hubs and I am very happy with the result. there are no bearings to mate an e36 hub to an e30 strut, all BMW front hubs are the bearing they are a one piece unit. my hub nut engages on all of its thread but the hub does stand further ou...

check the measurement between the strut and the tyre and compare to the undamaged side if there is a notable difference replace

I towed an e34 535i over a distance of 450 km the car is more than up to the task. just take it easy, they can feel a little nervous with a lot of weight.

I know e34 ones fit and they are thicker than e 30 spring pads. I do not know the thickness off hand.

gearbox swap wont help as only the first three ratios are different,you need to swap the diff or just change the ratios.

i agree with DanThe if you are running after market springs regardless of the make or the amount of drop fit an adjustable rear beam. this is the only way to get your wheel alignment back to original settings. and its way cheaper than OE springs.

I like the modern auto myself, however I would not recommend doing one with the m50/m52 mod as the motors lean at more angle than the original and I reckon it will have a negative effect on the auto box or complicate the transplant.

i am running 215/35/18 and the car is rock solid i also have an e36 rack to improve the steering. the car does not like bad roads but if you are going to do track days i would recommend it my wheels are 7.5 wide i have no rubbing. i also do not have that silly stretched look

so what size are the tyres the rims are wide enough for serious rubber

straight forward answer yes you can use the e36 control arm. they are totally interchangeable.

have your fuel pressure tested as this is one of the most common causes

at 60 mm I hope you enjoy dragging your car over everything mines just over 40 mm and my sump guard looks terrible. wait till your budget looks good and go with coil overs

hi mine is an SA car and mine has a pump and sender in the tank and it looks nothing like yours

no serious race car uses cheap poly bushes. the solid style bushes they do use would likely shake out your fillings for street use, and while poly bushes may stiffen up your ride a bit their lifespan is not that great. for hard street use fit m3 front control arm bushes and original for the rest.

hi i looked into this a year ago for the same reasons fitting a single pump to the tank is to difficult as the feed pump in the tank currently is much smaller. the only practical way to upgrade is to source a later tank. I eventually broke down and replaced both pumps. the in tank unit is rather pri...

you guys need to look at a bmw front hub the bearing is the hub they are not two separate parts as found in most cars the sleeve is the most practical way to fit a five stud hub. hope this helps with your choices.

hi guys my 325 has a miss from about four thousand revs the miss gets worse as the car gets up to operating temperature.this is a 2.5 m20 with motronic 1.1 ecu. any suggestions would be appreciated thanks.

36 front and 30 rear

thanks guys the four hole manifold has larger ports in it. so I will look into fitting it soon

hi guys I have two exhaust manifolds for my 325i the one on the car has a three bolt flange on the exhaust side and my spare has a four bolt flange . i am just trying to work out the difference and what model the four bolt flange is from. thanks any info will be appreciated.

thank you your info is really good the pin that needs to be removed has me baffled i will have a look to morrow after work and see if i can find it.

hi thanks for the info i have removed the c clip and i have made a press but it is incredibly tight and i do not want to break anything i am starting to worry that i might have overlooked something

hi guys i am trying to open the gearbox in order to replace the first motion shaft bearing i have tried to press the shaft out by making up puller of sorts and so far no luck any advice would be appreciated thanks

top spring hats from an e90 and the thin spring pads lowers approx 15mm and its relatively cheap from the dealer no effect to your handling or ride quality

you will be needing new shocks

the only variance i know of are the m3 units the rest are pretty much the same however i believe there was a difference in wheel alignment figures between chrome bumper and plastic bumper models but i am not sure

they are a straight swap bear in mind the shock absorbers are not interchangeable and you would have to fit your original 4 cylinder springs as the 6 cyl springs are different youre master cyl should cope

the vernier is great if you only want to place things on there original marks how ever if you degree the motor to the cam specifications the benefits are far greater

you can use either i used the e36 stuff for the sake of stating with newer parts

even if you mill out the splines it wont work you really need to see a front hub, the hub and bearing are a one piece unit the bearing is not removable. there are other ways but none are simple. if you want a cost effective way i would purchase e28 front hubs and have a sleeve made as well as a new ...

these posts are some what confusing rear hubs are interchangeable but the offsets vary there are no original BMW hubs in 5 stud that fit the standard e30 and front and rear hubs are totally different

normally 3.46

im running 18 inch wheels with 215/35 tires, suspension is lowered by 40mm and im running a e36power assist rack with solid guibo ride is firm and i feel every ripple through the steering i reckon if i ran over a blasted coin i might feel it,however a relatively standard setup should not feel at all...
