E30 Zone

Result there fella, nice colour.
A lux? with spotlights check the options list as that would have been an extra, or one of the last out, or have they been fitted afterwards.

Only left hookers from US dealers fella. Do a search for mats, a few good links to recommended mats.

Happy hunting

A good clean 2 door shell with sunroof delete is worth a grand. Far too many people have no idea of rust issues and 'think' their cars are rust free, an autopsy will 90% of the time reveal otherwise, ramps, long pointy metal things, torches, tea and an hour will show the true state of a car.. As for...

The AA 'cover' via a bank account was what I relied on when a m20b27 gave in where the M3 joins the M25. Took 5hrs (2am it went bang) and it cost me over 200 notes to get it home as the 'cover' only err covers a short distance.

Fella go grab this http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-moto ... 1001104822
and swap it all over.

Epic rust traps, had a pair on my facelift but the mountings disintegrated along with the part of the body it was attached to. :( Depends how much time is spent on preventative measures. If there isn't a wiki on keeping the rust traps in fine fettle no doubt our overseas brethren will sort it out i...

One day, if you all wait long enough you may just grow up.

Little man syndrome is associated with those who have to stick their neck in.
Thought you were better than that Steve.

I still remember what it was like chucking the nose of an E30 into a bend with an M40 stuck under the bonnet, then remembering what happened the first time I tried the same roundabout with new shocks, springs, bushes etc but with an M20. All I'll say is the front went wide and luck more than skill g...

Good on ya fella.

Not sure who tounig trash is though

sounds like either a lover of VW 4x4's or a konnisegg fan with a speach impidement.

Are diesel engines heavier?
Greater forces inside the pots for one must be adding weight to the crank no?

Chaz , Your shouting on deaf ears One person wont change how it is on here Tbh i dont think the banter and comments arent that bad If you come on here acting a tool you know what to expect Oh and nobody like a bullshitter especially when there easily busted This forum is one of the better ones ive ...

63K nice spec and full history actually has value.

You do find some nice cars for us all to gaze upon fella.

Both digital and real.

Ask the guy for the part number as it isn't too clear just to confirm.
Worth asking him if he has the bracket the 'toothy' nut uses to adjust the belt easily.

Do BMW still supply 80Amp alternators, if they only stock the 90Amp ones... though The M40 uses an 80amp one up to the last in '94 so my logic of only one being made back then goes up in smoke. Time to get the paper, pencil and manual out and have an add up fella to see what the book says it'll be d...

Hmmm Could this be down to manufacturing ie. making them all 90Amps to cut costs in having to produce two? The less current an alternator has to generate the less mass of either magnet or copper wire needs turning hence it should weigh a bit less. I've never weighed the two but the logic sounds err ...

How big a spanner and how big a hammer?
Go and give it another drowning in penetrating fluid, have a cuppa, then have another go.

Shouldn't it be 80 Amps for the 4 pots and 90 for the 6's?

Surely the added vibrations from an oil burner would play havoc with the grapes of wrath?

^^^ No own?

3.0 pints (1.7 Lts) for the 325+324d models the rest use 1.6 pints.

Small and medium diff cases ?

Edit
Mind reading Brian?

Pulled by the police?

they take one look at my slug balancer and decide its best not to bother.

Me also.

A bloody good idea, best of luck fella.

Like I said - differing interpretations of the law don't really interest me, I'm interested in what's gonna get me nicked, taken to court and in the end throughly violated. Exactly my point, who wants to end up getting bent over and shafted by the judicial system. And with the police having to be a...

Relatively long story, but this is what we could make out from the information we were given (I was only present for a portion of it (the tug and aftermath), but it was all discussed to great lengths for some time afterwards). But the point is, the car had a welded diff. The copper knew it had a we...

Go on then have a stab at it.
A line or so will suffice.

I know Pete what a find eh? None of that faux coupe action goin' on here, a proper car for a change.

What steering wheel is on that.

Yung go and find out the difference between legal and lawful before you try to be clever.

Your arsehole may one day thank you for it.

BTW handing out legal advise without being a member of the Bar is illegal, matters of Law are different but know doubt you know that you must be a lawyer, or do you know the relevant Acts and Statutes relating to this, just because the insurer doesn't stop you doesn't make it legal.

@ Gibson not illegal? That'll matter for nowt in a civil court if you crash and the third party knows how to go about dealing with idiots who think the road is for their shoddy, bodge special and twatting about like tarts. Once you diffin' types spend some time in a Renault bathtub (or similar) goin...

If a welded diff assists in getting the rear out, tyres spinning then how can an insurance company allow them as the car will be not fit for purpose on the public road. The fitting of one for use on the Queens Highway IMO is against the care and duty of care for every other road user as it makes the...

It does look like its had a good polish and clean up. The seats are from a 2 door so fold forwards which could be handy if you can't always 'entertain' at home. PM me your number if you can sort a viewing after 7pm. I'm between Brands and Dartford Bridge. Once over its only a blast down the A13 so a...

Is it a zoners car? The centre caps look like the 14" bbs type, but its hard to tell from the pics. Rust on the rear arches WILL mean further, more serious rot lurking further up within the arch area (get a torch and have a good look and prod). Does the headlamp wash/wipe work? All the lights, displ...

E30's ? Doubt you'll find any there or near the track from what I've been told. There is a 2002 entered to race, just the one though. Only cars pre 80's are allowed, even in the campsites. Not sure if this is gospel or if my leg is being pulled, though knowing the French..... Been a couple of times ...

For the skinflint option have a go with auto glymn with the yellow square. Even an anal grumpy sod like me is happy with the results. http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_193527_langId_-1_categoryId_165651 @Kos is it true you work with a r...

Mine didn't look a quarter as bad as that one fella, the work once you get started will cost more in gas and rods than the 500 bringing a car from the mainland. Finding solid metal to weld to will have you chasing your way around in circles. The money spent on mine (in total) could have bought a ver...

What he says above

These arn't much help but better than nothing.
