E30 Zone

Hi guys been away for awhile, just moved to a new state and had to leave my e30's at our old place till we find a garage in our new state. Thought I would share some pictures of my cars. The black one is a m20b27 with a powerdyne bd-11 supercharger and carbon fiber floor pans, bumbers and rockers an...

Air con and cruise control are rare in your parts? Here in the states it is hard to find them with out. I had a moonroof, black head liner, lighted mirror, tweeters, air con, cruise, metric wheels, rear trunk liner, large tool kit, long range fuel tank, factory CD head unit and factory cell phone in...

i assume you are trying to install an aftermarket kit, correct?

oh just sold my cab and would love another like yours, to bad i'm so far away.
Very nice car!, good luck with the sale.

MOT. ha ha. We don't have MOT in the US. Thanks for the replys guys I plan to use all stainless lines so i never have to do it again or worry about it. I know it will be harder to bend but i have plenty of time to take the job slow. Realy thanks so much no one else i talked to seemed to know. Cheers...

I had a hard brake line burst on me. So i got under the car and noticed all the hard lines are not in the best nick. I plan to replace them all but for the life of me i can't find the size brake line any where. What size is it? I want to buy a large quanity as i plan to do all the lines on the car. ...

yeah it is mostly the top edge of the ports that need to be inlarged. In fact you are better making them slightly larger then the intake port.

Super old but always a good watch

Interesting, i would like to see someone that has done this. siddiqi: the advantage is that there is less drag on the motor from the power steering pump. You shouldn't expect to free up much if any power. as the power steering pump is really only putting a strain on the motor when parking or making ...

Most of my cars do this when the power steering pump is not running. Make sure your power steering fluid is topped off and i wouldn't worry about it, that is fairly normal.

I don't think you guys got them in the UK but all e30's after 85 in the states have them. as well as 5mph bumpers (yuck)

The 7 is not done very well but the idea is very cool. I would rock one

I toatly agree. I just think the wheels look to big

wow i would love to get my hands on that.
MMMMM

i just can't find the love for white gauges, these are just awfull

those seat really fit he look of the interior well.

you have to order the shocks to match the strut housings in the front. There are two types a 50mm and a 45mm. Some 318s had 45mm and some had the 50mm, you would have to messure to be sure. As for springs you would be wise to use the 325 springs in the front as i have heard the spring rate is stiffe...

my guess would be Racing Dynamics but kind of hard to tell with the lights on.

Here in the states we find them on the e24 635csi as well as some but not all e23 735i

Yes center bore is 57.1mm as the hub is 57mm I would recommend you get wheels that fit correctly and don't use the hubcentric rings. I have noticed that over time they go out of round and cause balance issues. i know others have never had problems with them but imho if it's not the right size to sta...

happy i could help

anyone?

Hi all been away for awhile, but now i'm back I have a quick question what size is the m20b23 throttle body? Inlet? buttlerfly size? and outlet? also need to know the same for the m20b20 I'm making a list of general m20 info and i'm missing these two areas. I would just messure some myself but on th...

Well boys let me give you somthing to look forward to http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x260/bottlecape30/335i002501332.jpg this was on the shell it had a m30 swaped in with over 300,000 miles and no rebuild. Sadly this milage will never go any higher as it was rear ended a few years back :cry: I h...

wow big props to all the entrys, but dam those tourings are just some of the nicest i have ever seen.

I have port and polished a few m20 heads. I do have a flow bench at my disposal so i can do it right. I have found best results with the 731 head and 200 head, mainly because they don't flow as well as the 885 head stock. as for the 885 head gains are small and only noticable in the higher rpms. to ...

Because the driver sits on the other side, maybe !!

(slaps fore head ) da there i go typing before i think.

i found this on real oem the LHD linkage uses a 54mm arm stock all you need is to buy part number 61611370799 it is number 4 on this diagram http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=1113&mospid=47309&btnr=61_0885&hg=61&fg=45 that would save all the welding and be bolt up. another thought is to ...

i will never understand why the right hand drive cars have a different wiper linkage set up then the LHD cars.

there is metal flake in the green on there now. I like the color it is just want a shade darker, and that i will be ditching the nasty diving board bumpers for some carbonfiber replacements.

Thanks for the comments mates

i like the agate a little more i think seems like less blue. I don;t like the blue cast in a lot of the bmw greens.
but thanks i will keep looking and i think green is the way to go.

I don't know about you guys in the uk but I had an air bag on my 1991 325i, and my 1989 325xi. It was a four spoke wheel. I was rear ended in the 325i and the air bag never went off. I'm sure if you wanted the parts for it they would be easy to find here in the states. the problem would be making i...

My thoughts were to go with the mini cooper BRG i think it makes the beige interior look relly nice. just a slightly darker shade then what i have now. as for shadow line...no thanks.....the sheep on the other hand... well...i am american winkeye anyone have any pics of cars in lagoon green or Agate...

My car started life in delphin gray metalic then i painted it britsh racing green. I'm now looking to repaint the car as new bumpers and m-tech side skirts will be going on. What do you guys think? OG delphin gray, black, or the green again. http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x260/bottlecape30/bmwpa...
