....Maybe more suited to an e21 or 2002. Sadly they've removed the colour adjustment to just a few presets I have just bought one of these for my 1987 325i (the original Hamburg was available from 1983). The small number of screen colours was a disappointment, but a software upgrade is available fr...

Not sure how easy the Goetze are to get hold of now, autodoc did stock them a while ago

From Brutus, you can find him on here

An alternative is oldtimerseats.com

Afternoon all, I've managed to source a couple of new bolsters for my sport seats and I'm wondering how easy they are to swap over? It's for the drivers seat and I have both outer bolsters to fit. Are there any parts I need or can all the old bits be re-used ie clips and hog rings etc? Any special t...

It's also worth checking tps readings, firstly at the tps, and then at the ecu plug to make sure the wiring is in good order. There are many tests you can do with a multimeter to ensure the engine management is in good order and that readings are reaching the ecu plug. Something else often overlooke...

Hi very nice car. Early 2 door 325i is a great thing that is becoming extremely rare. Is it running jetronic or motronic injection? This needs to be established before ordering parts. It could be that a previous owner in NZ used whatever parts they could find, so it would be worth checking real oem ...

Blaupunkt are back at it again, this time a copy of the earlier Hamburg stereo

Maybe more suited to an e21 or 2002. Sadly they've removed the colour adjustment to just a few presets

I have two of those Lowe icv laying around gathering dust. Purchased one and the idle was racing up and down between 1k to 1.5k rpm, so I messaged them and they shipped me another, exactly the same issue. Cleaned the oem one again and its still going strong.

I doubt they will ever restore these cars. It will be a couple of videos having a poke around, detailing some bs plans, and maybe bolt on some aftermarket parts. All for the views I'm afraid. Hopefully they prove me wrong..... Much better off putting your time into videos from Spanner Rash, Driftwor...

What a lovely car, looks brand new. Could we see the e30 and e34 tourings become more desirable now that BMW have released an m3 touring. I'm not saying they're not popular already, but having more M touring models leaving the factory can't hurt their popularity.

This part is nla, so the only option is to source a good used part

If anyone has one please let me know

Ahh that's a shame, it was on Schmiedmann a couple months back but they've removed it aswell. I will leave the order, thanks for checking

Afternoon,

I had an issue like this on my old e30, although the vibration was felt at around 60mph, it was a real headache. Did the garage only change the centre bearing? As said above they may not have tensioned it correctly or even fitted it backwards, or not lined up the dots correctly. There is also a smal...

Mine failed last year, purchased a Bosch item from carpartsinmotion on ebay. Fitted myself, straightforward with no modifications needed.

Been using these Mahle oil filters for a while now, part number was always OC49, quality seemed great and added bonus they are made in Austria. So recently tried to order one and everywhere was saying it had been superseded by OC47 oil filter, so I've ordered one of these and to my dismay it says ma...

In regards to the colour, are you attempting to do an oem looking build or something more custom looking? First decision is do you go with a bmw colour? Secondly, do you go with an original e30 colour? For a more retro look there are plenty of early e30 colours that help give the classic look, for e...

Just noticed another retro offering from Blaupunkt https://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/blaupunkt-frankfurt-rcm-82-dab-retro-classic-car-stereo-bluetooth-usb-sd-aux.html?tracking=5e97919fb3dcd&fbclid=PAAaYTEKmrqMiV5XgqF7eOqTspuyejhfNEo5hhUKJaDYCKWQby7PDRm8UfwAs_aem_Ab3nQ66ZZ8QdXxfHRkdpvbjbH6v3wUohjAMHbLq...

That's a lovely car, some very nice parts there that finish it off perfectly

Only 6 months to go, luckily there are 4 councils opposing this madness. They may have a chance as tfl have been very suspect in compiling data for their report, and in their own words the impact on air quality will be negligible. If the zone goes ahead I'm sure there will be enough disgruntled resi...

Same experience here, not had any rubbing issues with multiple types of spring. Current setup is the h&r 60/40 cup kit. Could it be the previous owner was sold an incorrect spring? Unlikely, and even if so, it would have had to have been on par with a mattress spring to cause rubbing. You need to bo...

I never thought I would say this, but here it is, angel eyes that look perfectly at home on an e30. I love how it lights up the glass and shows off the pattern, great stuff

Really enjoyed seeing the progress and what an end result. It must be an animal. Admire your dedication in seeing it through and we'll done on tackling that bodywork, it looks like a great job

Just read this from start to finish, and am extremely jealous. Haven't left the UK for European roads for well over three years now and am missing driving on those fantastic roads more than a little. Never been stranded in an E30 either, although with a combination of a faulty LPG tank and a rapidl...

Glad the car ran well

Me too! Touch wood an e30 has never left me completely stranded

This is looking mental, factory fresh with all the right upgrades

Only downside is its nearing completion just in time for winter!

I'm not sure you can get a definitive answer on this. If it worries you then dont do it, or make sure both sides are equal. I remember an old car of mine I used to park half on a very high kerb outside my gfs, and i did sometimes wonder, especially as the engine bay would have heated the chassis, wo...

The last day of driving took us all the way to Charente-Maritime to stay with family, heading to Cahors and then north west through the Dordogne 20220610_105711.jpg 20220610_110808.jpg 20220610_123735.jpg 20220610_123946.jpg The car was absolutely filthy by this point and had earnt a well deserved c...

The following day we were heading west with a destination of Villefranche-de-Rouerge. The only itinerary was to find the best roads in between. Firstly we headed towards Ales, and then took the N106 towards the Gorges de Tarn. This was a great road through canyons and although a national route it wa...

This was a fantastic road with perfect surfaces as are many of the roads in France. The views were just breathtaking. Just had to keep an eye out for the hundred or so cyclists littering the route 20220608_142340.jpg 20220608_142042.jpg From Mont Ventoux was a more gentle drive into Avignon where we...

There was a visitors centre located on the route, dedicated to the communist jewish resistance during ww2 but we didnt stop as the road just kept getting better 20220608_102746.jpg The D76 then leads on to the D518, also known as the Col de Rousset, it was a fantastic descent with lots of hairpin be...

I had a couple of weeks booked off work in June and with some lovely weather forecast we took the car over to France for another road trip. Had some rain from Calais down to Reims but after that it brightened up and hardly rained again, the drive home a couple weeks later was in 40 degree heat which...

It's been a little while since I left any updates on the car. I've been using it through the summer and it's proved as sturdy as ever I changed the suspension out again, and decided to try the H&R 60/40 cup kit and I'm definitely keeping this setup long term 20220427_120723.jpg As you can see it's a...

I couldnt see mine either, until I cleaned the casing with a wire brush drill attachment, it is there, it probably just needs a good clean
