Actually I would like to know too if there is a way to remove the rear part of the headliner back to access the rear sunroof drains? I pressed against mine and it sounds like cornflakes....aka rust.

Thanks Brian,

Just checked there and they're reading in around that.

It must the wiring. Are they known to break in certain areas?

just rechecking the C1 Pinouts of the cluster now.

:mad: Ok I've a weird one. (not that an E30 with a fuel gauge problem is weird or even unheard of.) Anyways, I have figured out why the fuel gauge shows the needle being empty (no light on) when there is a little less than a 1/4 of a tank still in it. The passenger side level sender doesn't 'seem' t...

Great work Jozi!

There is a couple of reasons: 1. the battery djsimmy is on about are the ones inside the gauge itself on the SI Board. 2. a fuse has blown. Check fuse 10 and 21. 3. there is a reverse wire under the gear gator, lift this up and check that it hasn't split and is grounding of the chassis. If so, you'l...

Hi, I forgot about this thread. It can only be a failed sensor / coil or more likely a bad wire/ connection. I had the same issue and after nearly 2 years of chasing it, I eventually found the problem(s). Well there was a few but you'll see below what I mean. The idle control valve had open cracks o...

Oh right, does he have any contact information? I wouldn't mind finding out if he did this car! Nice to know more about the car. Just too note too I got the car into Total BMW a few years back! Delighted to get some photos of the car. The AC stuff was still on the car but was way delighted. http://i...

Cheers, most of the AC stuff came off, I left the steering wheel though cos it is actually good to hold. chunky wise.

Who is Tonny Does?

That video was before I found the fault though, I will be verifying what it really capable of with another run and I'm sure it will be back at factory levels of 286!

Did you sort out the miss your car was getting Brian?

I just came across this thread now! That's my car now, still the same owner since late 2007! Badges have been removed, air filter has been replaced with a proper one. The reason people where selling the car constantly was because it was running rich and very badly. very high fuel consumption. I foun...

Guys, why don't you make an new thread with a little background about the meet, add your details and any other relevant information you think needs mentioning and I'll sticky it for you. That way, you can have a dedicated thread for the upcoming meet that all interested parties can use to contact y...

Just bumping this as we're currently in the final stages of planning for the next one. Its looking like it will be in Athlone, Ireland. Definately the 18th / 19th of June. It is going to be a 2 day event. Just giving a heads up if anyone happens to be holidaying in Ireland around then or wants to ar...

E30 M3 Rebuild from rust treatment to alternater rebuilding - An excellent DIY thread.

I found a Nokia 3210 under the backseat of my H5 earlier this year. Charged it up, and the last text on it was from 2001

what did the text say?

With an O2 disconnected, voltage returned on the O2 will be zero. The ECU might throw an error. The car will run very rich. If you have a bad o2 then with it diconnected it should run better but will be annoying to drive. Have a read of this link http://www.aa1car.com/library/o2sensor.htm To quote -...

I would change the plugs even though you might clean them etc and they still spark but it might not be enough of a spark to ignite the fuel. I always keep my old spark plugs from each service I do becuase once I got the same symptoms as you, I put in my old dry plugs and the car started up first go.

When the engine is cold the O2 sensors and a few other sensors are ignored. The temp sensor indicates to the engine when to start reading signals from the O2 when the car is up to temperature. It then 'listens' to the readings from the O2 sensor. A bad o2 sensor(s) may be your problem.

Oxygen sensors are expensive or?

They can be expensive, yes. I paid around â‚¬700 Euro for 2 on mine. 1994 B30.

Hi, I have an E30 S50 however I discovered a broken green/brown wire underneath one of the relay's and I'm not sure exactly which pin it should go back onto and wanted to make it went back on the right pin. See the 3 relay's sitting on the strut in the below picture (this isn't mine, I pasted this i...

Hi Larsen, I had similar issues, hesitiation from 1500 to 5000 revs. I found a few things wrong when fault finding, idle control hoses where bad. A couple of other vacuum leaks. However, 2 of the biggest changes I notice where 1. Oxygen sensors where replace. 90% performance difference. 2. Cam senso...

I presuming your car is a manual. If so, pull up the gear stick boot and you should see a rubber boot underneath. There should be a wire coming through this boot. What happens overtime is, with sloppy gear changes this wire gets rubbed up against the metal of the car chassis. After awhile it exposes...

Cheers that's brilliant. Its in an E30 so tight enough but at least its reachable from the outside. I thought looking at Realoem it required taking off timing parts!!!

thanks again

Looking at the above, is this accessible easily or is there alot to remove to get at it?

Would this be a possible reason? the crank position sensor is failing?

Hi, My rev gauge flicks every now and again only when driving, as if its shorting out or something. It only drops a bit sometimes or sometimes all the way to 0 and very quickly recovers, It’s not consistent either, it might be ok one day with only a few flicks, another day, it flicks constantly. The...

He got it sorted, both the igintion and the key where busted.

Hi, I recently changed the water temp sensor on my engine and when I disconnected both cable connections to the sensors (brown and blue ones) I noticed the connection with the blue mark on the inside was plugged into the brown sensor and the gray white (ish) one was plugged into the blue sensor. Is ...

This was a savage meet. Excellent number of cars turned up and wow! What great cars there was!

Hi, As per the E30owners.com meet we organised in Ireland here, this it the result below. Can't say enough how nice it was to have so many E30's in spot. Big thanks to everyone that helped out and to those that arrived on the day. http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj298/BazE30/E30owners%20Car%20Mee...

I had the same problem with roundones. I got a 19" socket that has loads of teeth on it (not sure of the techincal name 12 point socket perhaps?) as suppose to the hex socket. I then hammered this onto the socket as its a very tight fit and took them off. The only thing is trying to get the socket b...

From what I've read of the first post - regardless of the blagging aspects of which is better - WHAT ARE THE TECHINCAL differences!!! Same chassis? Different engine, obviously! Diff ratios? Brakes? I know ATE on Sports but does IS's have them also? What are the weight differences? How many sold of e...

Did they do some thing like this with a merc 190? Seam to remeber they did a test on a banked oval circuit and ran it at top speed to show how good there engines were??? I was just thinking this, didn't have something to do with senna running the merc 190 through an all nighter at a high speed ring...

This is an old ATE front brake caliper that I have. If you notice the numbers 48/22 and on the left is the marking BMW and on the opposite side it says ATE which is just barely visible. I can see on your picture a marking but just can't make it out. Also, Girling and ATE rear calipers are identical....
