E30 Zone

I have a 2012 118d sport edition coupe, I bought it from BMW in the summer with a 2 year warranty and 2 year BMW assist thrown in, and I must admit it can be a little down on power when accelerating away from standstill but once on the go its good. £30 p/a RFL, averages 55+mpg and a low insurance gr...

We took a while to organise the sale but that was down to work really getting in the way, however as soon as it was paid for and agreed, the fabric was posted and delivered and its now on my sport seat.

all so sad really and probably so unnecessary when all the facts do emerge, but the Fiat crossing the path of another sounds all to similar to the biker who died while doing something like 150mph on the road because he hit a car that was crossing his path. The driver of that car didn't judge the spe...

Met up with Carl and I managed to get most of what was needed for my seats, very nice guy, I'll need some more so will be in touch.

Its a 1991 car so its a facelift e30.
I believe chrome was std on most of the e30's through the to the end and the dechrome was available as an option. Certainly was in 88 when I bought my 325i SE as I chose to retain the chrome.

does sound similar to the issue I had with mine and that was knock sensor related.

he's having a laugh surely at £2k?

European model only

It depends on if you're talking e30/e28/e24 or the later e36/e46 etc. If the latter, the auto appealed to the new buyer as the auto and switchtronic gave the best of both worlds. Early cars were all down to buyers preference and if most were city types and used their cars as intended (for the commut...

pm sent.

a wing can be sourced closer to home I'm sure, I think I have one the same colour in my garage although the leading edge has a small dent in.

I'd keep it or sort the damage out at least, these are just not wanted today, the front grille etc are easy to get though.

can these have the fault codes read?

And could it be ECU related?

Cough. Whats Alpina about it ? Oh yes it has some stickers. It states:- With Alpina body work, black Alpina headlining, Tii spec engine that has been gas flowed, had Webber 45 Dcoe carb conversion. Early Alpina carried out works to the 2002, too rich for me and I don't like the lights etc. £40k? Wh...

agreed, those that have seen it in the metal have said the same.
I think the seller bought it for half that late last year (could be mistaken though) and is hoping to make a fast buck.

similar performance really although the B2.5 would be superior in the handling, but these are now all around 20 years old so this comparison wouldn't really stand up these days.

I'd have a B2.5, just for something out of the ordinary.

On the dealers 4 plus scheme (or whatever they're running now for the older car) the rates they charge are very close to many specialist prices, so it'll be worth it in the long run.

B9 is a European Alpina model and was available throughout Europe, the B10 was a UK only car, most were manual although a few auto's were built. But a UK B9 is a rare piece. If its a manual, it'll have a std BMW 5 speed (unless it was spec'd with a dogleg). If its the one I'm thinking of then its be...

so what's he after for it?

already one done for you

valet pro bilberry is the product I use, although it says its not safe for yours (but best check other products). However on this site someone has used it and they've been fine. ( http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12871 ) or here they've also used it http://www.detailingworld.co.uk...

Andy, yours is superb, on those alloys its looks excellent.
I have a panel damaged one, brilliant to drive. But I'm looking to move mine on as I fancy the v12 for some reason....

you could try Shiply's system. http://www.shiply.com/

its as wellard says, its a common problem on these, had it on mine and was resolved by stripping it back and finding one of the wires earthing itself and unlocking the glass hatch.

so are you saying its on the minimum mark on the dipstick? If so that's your problem, its low on oil and its telling you to top it up. Should go from amber to red with the red saying put some in. Amber is a warning to say its getting low and this can light up and stay on just after start up or when ...

You sure its the bulb that's gone, as if it has xenons these rarely give up (plus these can be stupidly expensive to buy), its either that ballast or the igniter that's on its way out? You may find the light suddenly come back on if the you remove the black cap to access the bulbs and just push the ...

I did, I was quite lucky to be able to do it and as such loved the car, ordered it in the July, had it delivered in the October. 1987. I still have the bill of sale and a bit of info on it here somewhere, to the grand total of £17850. Diamond black, 2 door SE, manual, 15" BBS, sport seats. It was an...

I remember the sport sitting in the dealership when I bought my 325i. Regardless I plumped for an SE though with sport seats and 15" BBS, and a chrome finisher around the windows. The SE was chosen as the options it came with over the std 325 made it a better proposition considering everything at th...

I've had an e39 touring and have a 46 now and the 39 would be my choice for family bikes. Plus I'd load on the roof using BMW's bar system, very good and easy to fit when used with some after-market bike carriers. You can fit 3 bikes with ease up there if you choose the right bike rack. I've seen a ...

is yours leaking, if so its relatively easy, just fiddly. Part is expensive from BMW though and you need to get the minor parts as well as it'll make the job easier.

what this type of thing?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-M-Power-A ... _751wt_952

when did the car have its lower wishbones and bushes changed last? On mine this was the main culprit, but as my discs and pads were worn as well I replaced them all, and that cured the vibration and wobbles felt

town use down to below 15 but out on the open you could see 30+, depends on how its driven I suppose.

The B10 can only be comparable in performance after all its a V8 v's a straight 6. Its appeal was the mix of performance and the ability to be quite economical.

seek and ye shall find! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_M5#E34_M5_Winkelhock_Edition or http://www.bmwmregistry.com/model_faq.php?id=12 go two thrids down the page to find this:- "In 1991, BMW asked two of its racing drivers to design their own ideal version of an E34 M5. One of the drivers was Joa...

I'd go with Andy's suggestion.

It's either that or pay some bigger bills.
Chances are its something like this or a small blockage in the small bore pipe that runs from the header tank into the radiator. They tend to block leading to overheating problems.

if you get a single tone when you select reverse then they stop completely then they may just need a proper clean. If they have any dirt build up or even polish on them they'll stop working. So its worth giving them a good clean with something to take the previous polish or grime off, then have anot...
