Yes doing it by himself AFAIK. He is developing a plainer orange oem style theme.

A lot of the feedback he's had - including mine - was exactly this lol. I've suggested going to a monochrome screen/orange backlight to get better contrast and simplifying the design. It's coded in C++ though, so a lot of work for him to make radical changes I think.

The guy working on my touring has been developing this and he's about ready to make it available. Maybe not for everyone but it's an interesting idea so I thought I'd share:

Hi could I get prices and availability on the following please?? Car is a 1991 325i touring, rhd manual. Some of the door part numbers may be incorrect - the diagrams on realoem only show a saloon door but I need all parts to fit a touring thanks. 51311947248 Tailgate window rubber – lower 513119673...

Sorry - J626 DGP

Hi,
I need a non-cat exhaust from the manifold back plus all hangers etc. Also a pair of rear anti roll bar bushes, oem part no 33551131290. Its for a 325i '91 touring
cheers

Looking for something in straight rot-free condition for my touring, colour doesn't matter. Ideally Notts/Leics/Derbys/Staffs but will go farther afield if you can courier it.
Thanks!

Thanks Brutus, the switch arrived today complete with a minty fresh looking front panel, all clips intact and everything. Just the job!

Sorry for butting in but do you have a system that actually works ???

Mart.

lol no, but I have an electric conversion kit I picked up off ebay a few years ago. Finally getting round to having it fitted. I think it uses motors from a 5 series or something.

Hi
I'm looking for one of these for my touring, specifically the cover with the position symbols on it, but will take a whole assembly if it is complete and the price is reasonable. Cheers.

It might be worth having a look at your existing resistor pack before buying as they come in two different varieties. The one shown above is most common but mine is quite different to that. Not sure of the reason, possibly because my touring has aircon. The leak could also be caused by the rubber gr...

True enough.. I was just thinking a car with all the right bits would still be nice to have - even if it didn't leave the factory that way.

According to the wiki, the best visual clue for a genuine sport is the black headlining, but this isn't 100% proof on its own. It also lists the full spec and limited range of original paint and interior colours: http://www.e30zone.net/e30zonewiki/index.php/325i_Sport It seems to be implying that th...

ross that m3 looks a bit poorly. I wonder how far the rot goes into that scuttle. A moredoor with naff wheelz is one thing, but that definitely needs saving.

We're all driving one. It just hasn't happened yet.

lmfao

I've had quite a few people knocking on my door too Mad

Yeh I've seen that tourer too, I look at it every time I go by

Yeh i guess...having got closer I'm not sure I actually want to lumber Jim with it

It really is a shocker

Drivetrain sounds like it's probably worth having though.

Anyone else got local casualties like this?

I was gonna enquire for jim320i but won't bother em now. I wonder if it would actually survive being moved in one piece now...

Hope the roof looked a bit more presentable when you were enquiring ;) Or were you looking for a four-door vert

Aw that's harsh Imy. What a sorry tale.

Makes me feel bad for posting it really.

Dairyhouse Road. I live round the corner.

It even features on streetview:

Great site that Brian, thanks. It just gives you a code for the upholstery spec though. I goggled it and found this page: http://www.rtsauto.com/e30-seat-upholstery-interior-codes-designs-and-options-by-year/ My touring came with some correspondence from Cheyne to the original owner, and all the inf...

I'd second the Vredesteins - about £90 a corner if you can find them. I managed to get a set of sportrac 5s back in February but I went through about six tyre places before I found one who could source them - they had to order them in and apparently there were only 10 available across the whole coun...

Really happy with my exhaust.

Went to collect and Jim took the time to dig around his yard for the random extra bits and bobs I suddenly remembered needing

Got a very fair price and I'll be back. Many thanks Jim it was a pleasure mate.

Okay thanks Brian

The thought of worn bores was starting to give me a nosebleed

The sump gasket looks like it might be original. Is it possible the sump and main rear seal have been leaking slowly for a long time allowing it to build up in the bellhousing? The old bus has only done 76k and seems fairly well looked after - it certainly doesn't smoke, so I'm hoping this is just s...

hmm yeh I think fixing the first leak upped the pressure causing the sump gasket to give way. There was a litre of oil in the bellhousing 8O and a slight weep from the rear main seal, plus hotspots all over the clutch adding to my woes. :cry: I think I'll replace the oil pump while the sump's off to...

Oil pressure switch was indeed the culprit. I didn't think oil went up, but it was pumping it right up the wire into the loom. Put an oem rplacement in and all sorted - but now there is a steady drip from the back of the engine

gearbox off next ...

Thanks guys. It was the low oil warning light in the overhead panel that came on. The lower part of the engine block was covered in oil, but above and around the loom was dry, as was the breather pipe and rocker cover. It does seem a lot to be coming out of the switch, but it seems like the best pla...

Hopefully the idiotic title has got someone's attention ... but its true! Over the weekend the oil pressure light came on on my touring. I checked dipstick and it was below the bottom mark. 1.5 litres later all was fine. Next day, oil pressure light was back on. Another 1.5 litres went in and by the...

Current part no is 51219061344. Apparently there are central-locking and non-central locking versions. A how-to guide here: http://e30world.com/body/BMW-E30-lock-cylinder-repair It sounds like the fiddliest bit is removing/reinstalling the lock in the door, particularly if it is a moredoor as there'...
