Good to see so many older BMWs in good condition and still on the road. Did anybody see the red 325i sport forsale in the section by the bogs, it seemed like it was made to be a sport, battery in the wrong place (under the bonnet), Tech 2 but had a tech 1 steering wheel and had lots of overspray an...

I'd fix the leak and leave the engine as is, my S14 has done 179k km without a rebuild and is still going strong. Yours is a 215 bhp model not 220. yeah ill sort the oil leak out, and yeah its the 215 bhp model just checked that today As its a UK model it wont have a cat and will be 220bhp. 215 are...

What have you done to it to make it need a rebuild after only 50k ???
Or was it built badly ???
Or are you doing it because you are board and want to waste some money ???

E36 has 3 wires to the abs sensors while E30 have 2 wires.

Yep E30 springs and tops, E36 evo struts.
When you got it all up together you'll realise the ABS wont work and it was a waste of time doing it and sell everything and go bake to 4 stud.
The only way to do it properly is to use E30 M3 front struts and rear arms.

I never had that problem but I was using 325i stuff and it matched up perfectly.

I got a sump http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... highlight=
Got a M50b25 inlet manifold too if you need one.

Just seen all these on Cutters

I should be there in the E30 M3, if for some reason I aint I'll be in the Z3MC

I got all the original German papers and history till it was imported.

Did you buy it and pull the S14 out or just buy it minus a S14

Put the last 7 digits into RealOEM and it came up with 06/1990

Wheels swop again today, it's back on the style 32 tonight though, the BBS RK are going on for next season

Changed the grill for you guys, it is growing on me http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/bulldogstaffy/IMAG0335.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/bulldogstaffy/IMAG0333.jpg Went to the BMW dealers yesterday and parked outside their front door, had the sales team and a few mechs as well as c...

Saw both of these beasts in the flesh yesterday. Mark kindly started both cars, the E30 M3 sounded the nuts, but the E46 M3 was :drool: Didn't think i'd like the Dakar Yellow colour scheme, I was wrong. :cool: Engine Hoist is perfect, Mark. :thumb: Spot on Rob, and I'll let you know next time we me...

First registered 1997 in the UK

What month of production? It stopped in Dec 1990 iirc. I have had both on mine, and the chrome grill went back on as it looks much better imo. Front end becomes bland and looses definition without it. I'm going to give the chrome grill a try again and leave it for a week and see if it grows on me. ...

Needs the chrome grill.. Details details!! Spec/year etc! :cool: Chrome grill looks crap after the black grill IMO, look at the M3 in the E30Zone banner top of page :cool: It's a 1991 German Import, 215 bhp model, pretty much stock, different wheels suspension and exhaust so nothing too drastic or ...

Wow two M3's! So which do you prefer driving with! winkeye I get used to the E30 after a while and enjoy it, but love the E46 everytime I jump in it, it's got everything to spoil you and is a lot faster. If I drive the E30 only and leave the E46 parked up I love it, but swopping from new to older m...

Thanks for the kind words everybody

Just needs the OEM chrome grille back on.....

Had the chrome ones on the other week for a day and didnt like them as much, looks wider lower and meaner with the black grills

If I spend money on the drive I dont have enough to buy 2 M3s

This is my current E30, I'm keeping it for life unless situations change and it has to go, that would be the very last resort though. Got a few pics with my other BMW in the shot too. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/bulldogstaffy/IMAG0301.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/bulldogstaffy...

Got some nice BBS rims for my E30 M3, the rears are 10" x 17" et 28
Fronts are 8.5" x 17" et 15

What size of tyre would be the bests to fit the rims and keep the gearing as close to standard as possible.

1. Rav335uk 2. Jim320i 3. Eeeferteh (Ricky) TIGGER Very Happy 4. Gooner (Rob) Work commitments allowing 5. Steveinstoke 6. DanThe 7. Meatballs, but only if it IS raining, so I don't have to clean it 8. Kieran - if it's NOT raining and I'm not suffering a hangover from a wedding the night before. 9. ...

I can catch up with Gooner1 (Rob IIRC) he bought chicken the 316i lux touring off of me 2 years ago, nice bloke

I may well eat, just I've been ill for seven weeks now and just come down with an ear infection on top of a chest infection (it aint contageous so dont worry), on tablets that kill my hunger for some reason. I got to go to Birmingham in the morning to pick up some E30 parts so I'll pop in on the way...

Is this open to all, and do we have to eat when we are there.
