E30 Zone

Also check for steering wobble between 50 and 60 mph and again between 75 an 80 mph. This can be caused by a variety of different factors including lower and upper front arm bushes, ball joints, poorly balanced wheels, cheap discs, flat spots in the tyres where it's been stood for over a day (althou...

I had michelin ps2 runflats on the back of my 320d and they werent that bad (also got them cheap). It's the Bridgstone Shitenza you need to avoid.

Council e65, who puts x5 wheels on a classy motor like that?

Picture quality is shocking, as is the description.

Sorry i spoke.

Either way i doubt he's going to take the inlet manifold off to check when he goes to view the car

I'm pretty certain they where in all M47TUD20 engines (post 2001 150bhp) which were fitted to facelift E46s.

The M57TUD30 where all affected (2002 onwards) as where the M57TUD24 (post 2004).

From what i can gather the issue was sorted out in 2005 when the valves themselves where made more robust.

Biggest problem with the facelift 320d was the dreaded swirl flaps in the inlet manifold which have a habit of breaking off and being sucked into a cylinder of its choice. The crankcase breather filter will need to be changed to the later vortex type as the old ones are known to disintegrate and get...

Did you wipe it off?

The nav system is worth a grand on it's own.

A couple of years back I bought a 528i Shadowline with oxblood leather with less than 90k on it for 500 notes.

I think i remember seeing that for sale? D reg wasnt it?

Could be the universal joint in your steering rack.

Facelifted saloons (august 2001 onwards) have six gears. Facelifted coupes (2003 onwards) had six gears. Pre-facelift cars have 5 gears unless they where orded with 6 gears as a cost option.

e36 any day of the week,have never been keen e46's even the m3's dont appeal to me. I cant wait to get rid of mine. Over the last moth ive had to replace 2 control arms, the boot lid handle, the oil level sensor and the rear brake pipes 8O Sound like a pensioner when i say this but the really dont ...

I would personally avoid the e46 youve linked. The ealier models were all prone to the rear subframe mounts tearing off the chassis. BMW will only repair this if; A. It has a full BMW main dealer history. B It is less than 10 years old (which all the cars that where effected now are, as they resolve...

"general condition good consistent with age and mileage"

Not something id put in an ad for a car with a quarter of a million miles on the clock

If you're bothered about depreciation you need to buy a cheap high miler thats already lost most of its value.

If it was my 16k id be in this

Nice sandals

I dont bother posting abroad, far too much aggro

Surely they need the test gear to say anything. What have they said he has to do James? Must have been a complaint made? Can't catch anyone worthwhile so they bother the motorist. As per usual! its a lass around the corner that doesn't work but sits up all night drinking then wants to sleep all day...

It's just like having your music on too loud, shouting your mouth off, honking your horn late at night etc. If you create a lot of noise then it's seen as public disturbance. Tbh if i was on nights and someone came past at 8 oclock every morning making a racket then id see my bum

TBH i think the Alpenis D3 is pointless.

You can get similar power from a 320d and a conservative remap. and theyre a fair bit cheaper.

Alpinas should be big engined, petrol powered and automatic IMO

Hi folks, after a bit of advice, Im getting a clunking noise from my front passenger side wheel when pulling up to a stop. Ive managed to establish that it's not the control arm bush, its not either the inner or outer ball joint and its not the disc or pads. Im thought maybe its the anti-roll bar bu...

i will have a web site up and running very soon! www.e36-zone.net give me 11 weeks and its up and running whats the point, i see that being a bit like the e30 planet forum...... e36 coupe forums pretty much covers it Or like e46zone for e36s, hopefully with a similarly friendly, close knit kind of ...

The original sport package had antracite headlining and style 49 alloys. like my 2000 523iSE had. I thought only the M-Sport and M5 had the anthracite headlining? i had a e39 with the sport package and it had the same alloys on as oakey's 540 and seats/steering wheel/suspension and was confirmed as...

What you been getting to the gallon?

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1757349.htm

I'd buy that! AFAIK no nikasil after sept 98 either so cant really go wrong if it's nice and straight. Those things pull like an express train too, absolutely rapid for the size of them. The ride quality is second to none too as it has electronic damper control. If it's a pre-facelift they can still...

One of the things that is concerning me is the weight of the m57, the short engine weighs 168kg :eek: Where did you get that info from?! That is more than an M30 with 2 extra cylinders! In an era where BMW are claiming lighter and lighter engines.. Here http://www.unixnerd.demon.co.uk/enumber.html ...

Im not after economy really more the torque and tuning potential, been scouring the net for a while now and not seen it done so im guessing it will be pretty unique too?

One of the things that is concerning me is the weight of the m57, the short engine weighs 168kg

Best to buy a crashed donor then to take all the sensors, clocks, ECU, ignition barrel, keys etc?

So a similar amount of work as say an s54 engine would be to fit?

I'll get my flame suit out for this one

Has anyone ever seen this done? Would it fit?
