E30 Zone

Magpie: I have seen that one on Ebay, looks good but the ad is a little bit creepy and i am not sure how high the price will go. I have my eyes open though.

Thanks for your reply. I only ask as i don't mind doing some work (i expect it) but it seems all the ones i see are 'mint' or complete dogs with no rear arches and shagged dampers.

I sold a really nice one for £1700 in 2011 so was hoping prices had kept at that level!

Hi Guys, used to be on here a fair bit but i have not had an E30 for a while. I am Looking at getting into another one now and because i used to have a 318is i am keen on getting another (despite some members views on them!). However i have been looking around and the few that do turn up seem to be ...

I thought it must be the Wieght but thanks for the answers.

Ahh ok, thanks for clearing it up. Thought there must be a difference but thought I'd check, always nice to save some money if possible!

I have to say although the forum is very helpful some posters have a snooty tone lately.

Hi guys, I am looking to get some eibach springs http://www.raceperformancemodified.com/BMW-E30-Shop/BMW-E30-Eibach-Pro-Kit-Lowering-Springs But there is a significant difference between the pre-facelift 325i springs and the post facelift? As there is a difference in price but i can't imagine there ...

don't want to make a new thread so was just wondering if there is anymore info before i replace them this weekend? It seems simple but don't want to mess anything up!

They have worked on my old e30 before and were very good. Would recommend.

Thanks I just need to find if it has broken but it seems the most logical conclusion.

How easy is it to change a handbrake cable if it is snapped? Can't find any guides anywhere!

I did go to adjust the brakes at the actual brake but i read that you need to slacken offat the lever end first so i went to do that and then noticed the cable was pulled through and slack. I would have fiddled with the adjustment further but it was cramped and cold in my garage yesturday so decided...

Thank you, I will CHeck that. I imagine changing a handbrake cable is a massive pain.

And I forgot to add it is a disc brake model.

Thanks
Dean

Hi guys, I was inspecting my brakes this afternoon and when I went to adjust the handbrake I noticed that my ns cable was very slack and almost pulled through its holder. It was too cold to fiddle for long but I'm worried that the cable is snapped somewhere along it's length. Could it be anything el...

Don't want to thread hijack but I currently have an e30 that came on bolster dampers and unknown lowering springs. I believe it is currently running a 60mm drop. The ride is fine and the dampers good but the car just sits too low to be practical! I scrape too often for my liking. I am looking to jus...

Ahh so I can buy just the bulb? I thought I might need to buy more.

Thanks

Hi guys,

I bought my car with a hid kit fitted, one of the bulbs has gone and I was just wondering where I can get replacements or what I need? Iknow they are 4300k bulbs at the moment.

Thanks

Thanks for the help, I have a leak from the ends of my pipes and there is fluid all over the place so I have just sourced some used pipes/reservoir to replace it all.

Any idea on crush washer size?

Thanks
Dean

Hi guys,
I am looking to get replace the hoses from my ps reservoir to the rack and pump.
I have played with ps pipes so just wondering if you have any tips for doing the job? Or anything I should know?

Thanks

Hi,

I am looking to replace the two pipes from my ps fluid reservoir and the clamps.

Part numbers from real Oem:

32111131345

Thanks

If you (or he!) wouldnt mind that would be appreciated. Just would like to know a tiny bit more about the car and previous work its had done etc. It all seems fine as it stands but due to weather/work i havnt had a chance to poke around it as much as i would like.

thanks

Yeah i wouldnt mind another, my old one was lovely!

Hopefully yours doesnt meet the same end as my last one...

Thanks again.... I'm sure I'll rely on some parts, knowledge and help whilst I am here.

Polsta: i recognise your username as well, diamondschwartz is? My old white is was written off by the new owner after a few months

driver was ok thankfully but car had an interface with a lamppost sideways.

Cheers guys, thanks for the help.

It is my p&j at the moment, will have to try and keep it looking/working as good.... its filthy at the moment!

Sorry to resurrect this thread but doesn anyone know if the old owner of my car still uses this forum and if so his username?

just have a few car related questions!

haha yeah it a grey sportalike. everything seems rosy, it has some 24 year old car niggles but its to be expected.

I thought i recognized it from when i used to go on here. Anyone have any idea on value of the racing dynamics wheels? i want to go for 15" oem bbs really.

It idles correctly, just a little hesitant when you first touch the throttle. Thanks for all the advice, I will start troubleshooting. It's not a huge problem so it'll be something I'll sort over time.

Thanks for the welcome. Yeah I'm sure I'll be on the hunt for some parts before long! I'll get some pictures before long it was owned by a zoner before under a private reg (d6***).

Hi Guys, I have recently bought a new E30 and it comes with a HID conversion, im not a huge fan personally and am looking to go back to standard. Is it possible whilst using the same lights? as i have some smoked Bosch lights and don't want to get rid of them. I would look at the set up but its dark...

Thank you for your help, makes sense. It doesn't seem to be a huge hardship so i will get it done soon.

Any other ideas are appreciated! The engine does run a tiny bit rough when cold nothing major just not as smooth as when its warmed through.

Any ideas? Im just worried about the fault becoming worse really.

Ha im indeed Heinz. Thanks for the welcome.

Is it me though or does it seem quieter with less parts floating about than before or is it the time of year?

Hi Guys, I have just bought myself another E30 after being away from the cars for a year and half and i have to say its great to own one again. I used to be a regular reader (sometimes poster) until i sold my old 318is. Is it me or is the forum a little quieter these days? The for sale section seems...

Hi Guys, I have just bought an E30 325i (feels good to be back in an E30!) but it has a few niggles that need sorting.... Basically when i start the car first thing in the morning it turns on straight away but it cuts out straight away after firing up. When i try the second time it starts with no is...

thanks for the advice guys, about 200-400 sounds about as mch as id pay. Its not a Motorsport! it is a j reg so fairly late though.

Its well specced though, tech 2 wheel, leather sports seats etc.

Hey guys, only sold my E30 two months ago and im already getting thoughts of getting another! There is an e30 325i cab round the corner from me that has been standing for a couple of years. Its looking abit shabby but on the whole it looks solid and was the owners pride and joy when i was younger. I...
