Stevie was harmless, just a bit dim. Didn't the zone club together to buy his car and blow it up, or something like that?

This just unlocked a load of memories from this board

Hey everyone my 318i’s Speedo likes to think it’s going much faster then it should be. Even at 30mph it reads 5ish mph more - the rest is about 10mph out from 40 onwards. I don’t remember it always doing this, a while back I sold the car then bought it back a year later and it had mismatched tyres o...

Been using it since day 1 in the touring, it’s the Mrs’s daily driver and I can’t be bothered explain why she should use the more expensive petrol without giving myself a headache. I don’t drive it enough to notice these days but being a 318i auto it was never good on fuel, usually around 25-30mpg. ...

When you say service are you talking inspection or oil service, have a look here on the servicing part of the page. https://www.e30zone.net/e30wiki/index.php/318iS I am meaning an inspection service. All oils, filters plugs etc. Most of the information is on that link, I think the air and fuel filt...

No, the black stuff on the bearing surface of the cap

Oh that, that’s metal not silicone. Maybe from the swarf from the edge of the cam/bearing being drawn in there

Looks more like a lubrication failure, very dry. It would turn nicely when installed with a little oil but soon as it came under load it would burn out. It does look like it had run hot, Although I think the heat generated by the cam rubbing against the bearing is why it looks so dry. There wasn’t ...

8O 8O 8O 8O Very major indeed. :o: Did you try to turn it by hand first ? Mart. Several times! It rotated beautifully again and again, even when I primed the head of oil it was fine, not nasty grinding noises. It was only after running the cam in the issue was apparent :/ Been back out and can see ...

Has anyone had issues with aftermarket cams from eBay and the like? I used one previously with no issues but today it screwed me big time - looks like there is extra material which cause it to rub against the bearing block when it warmed up a bit. It melted the locating tab off the pulley and caused...

Purchased a touring load covered off bmw-mad with tweeter pods as well and they were delivered what would've been next day if it weren't for the weekend. Both items were brilliantly packed and undamaged in transit, was very happy with the transaction as a whole. I've bought a few bits off him now an...

I was looking change those bolts at well and at nearly £30 each I decided against it as it wasn't necessary to actually change them

Assorted nuts and bolts are a bit pricey but I find a lot leaves me thinking it's not too bad to go straight to the dealer.

Just for this please

Thanks

Is there no alternative for 16111179655 ? My bracket dissolved upon removal 8O Right here's a re-run of the part numbers then 10x 07129964672 6x 26111225054 4x 26111206718 4x 26111206718 6x 51131876128 6x 51131829904 And what should be the exhaust studs for a M52 if you're able to verify 11121744057...

6x 51131876128 6x 51131829904 1x 16111179655 if you still do it! And can you get a quote for the 6 bolts that attach the diff to the rubber guibo to the gear box and matching nuts, as well as an additional 4 nuts that'd be great thank you. Also I need 12 exhaust manifold studs and bolts for a M52b28...

Need 2x of these 31321130069

Should be the collar nut that holds shock absorbers in place on 51mm struts.

Thanks.

I had this issue and so I just pulled my heater resistor out through the passenger footwell, wasn't hard to do. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v346/BillyBagz/26F8AF5B-4375-4B50-B1A4-B8A8956627B0_zps2x9xcz6o.jpg Looked a bit grubby, gave it a clean with some WD40, sandpaper and a fine wire brush, ...

Thought I replied to this last night sorry, yes those are what in after! Thanks for finding the part numbers guys. What's the price for a pair of them please Paul?

Hi Paul, the car is a 1988 320i coupe, sorry I don't know if I'm being clear about the part as I'm not sure of it's exact name but here's a a listening for an e39 variant

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.vi ... 1006507500

Thanks.

As mentioned in title, I'm after a pair of of the stone deflectors for the brake discs to fit the larger 51mm struts (if that makes any difference).

Thanks in advance!

Looking at getting refreshed suspension pads on the front I think the part numbers are as followed:

2x 31331110196
2x 31331128524
2x 31331128524
2x 31331128523
2x 31331134314
2x 31331124322

Thanks in advance

I bought an easybleed couple of years back, so good for working on your own. Just screw into reservoir, connect to tyre, open nipple until bled. Takes like 10 seconds a corner.

It seems well known that the H&R cup kit for E30s is the favoured suspension by the majority of the forum but I am just exploring the other options of what's available for the same cost or less. I've been thinking about this as I'm removing my coilovers and already have a pair of AVO adjustable rear...

data protection act 1998???

The zone has too think about stuff

What having admins approve people's content/account before being made public? No.

Has absolutely nothing to do with data protection.

The only prevention of duplicate accounts would be to have to pre-approve all forum accounts. It's not always ideal though.

The car is manual transmission, also I'm guessing that price above is just for the grill?

Hi I'd like to check out if you still can supply the oil cooler grill that fits in the front valance (Part number 51711953609)

..and also a whole exhaust bracket kit as shown below from ~ #12 to 26? Or at least the main components (12, 16, 21)

Cheers

Don't worry about it, just make sure to check the car over thoroughly before you hand any cash over to ensure it's been advertised correctly. Rust is the biggest issue with these so might be worth educating yourself on what to look out for when you go to collect http://www.e30zone.net/e30zonewiki/in...

The guy sorting my E30 at the moment is going to weld up the inners I believe unless he deems that too much in which case he'll get some inners to weld in but rather then cutting the outer arches he's going to tin and lead them. He's assured me it'll be just as good as a cut and weld jobby and it's ...

I ordered two of them last year (identified at the dealers as #5) and i got two covers for the second fuel level sender? Did they just send the wrong part?

Does anyone know what the part number is for the metal covers that cover the holes on the floor in the rear passenger footwell? They're about 120-140mm in diameter and just lock into place by turning them?
The guys are my dealership are stumped.

Looks super clean, nice

I used a Matt black rattle can and it came out pretty good actually.

Can I get a quote for;

E30 M3 front muffler section

E30 M3 rear muffler section

As well as

'88 325i midbox and rear muffler sections.

Without cat.

Cheers

Sounds similar, will not rev past 2500rpm and sometimes cuts out. If I could supply better information I would but it's my friends car... and he's looking to sell it for chips and I'm thinking of bagging a bargain if it's just a new ECU required

!

Some companies will make your a stainless exhaust up to your specifications, including standard replacements to keep it reasonably quiet.

The ECU was changed from an auto to a Manual one. I don't think the engine was ran after the swap until the manual ECU was fitted.
