E30 Zone

It looks like the paint on the wing has been touched in on MS Paint rather than with an actual gun on the car!

It may be a silly question, but why couldn’t a standard E30 4 lug hub be re drilled to 5 lug or drawn and CNC machines with 5 lugs? It’s a great job you’ve done, just seems a lot of effort

Can I ask why the ecotorque has such a high Rev limit compared to the wild/alpina chips?

I have a 1989 chrome bumper 325i which is in storage. Do you need my ecu number still?

What ever happened with this, did it make productioni would be very interested, it would be nice to make it more integrated so they only drop 10mm or so. Can it not be done with the relays but also with a micro switch in the door latch so that when the handle is operated It triggers Down and then wh...

Hi mark. Great. Does this gearknob have an integrated leather gaitor? If not could you please price up a leather gaitor. Thank you.

Yes please

Hello

I’m after prices on an illuminated gear knob, but the mtecnic version with the stripes rather than the sport version. I believe the number is
25112231558

And a pair of covering caps
51111888293

Thank you. Alastair

I’m after a good undamaged pre facelift Boot carpet that goes on the back edge between the rear lights please as my original is very stained and water damaged. Thank you

I’m after a pre facelift left hand rear light bulb holder only if anyone has one please.

My 1989 318i that I saved from the crusher, I got it in 2008 & sold it in 2010. It’s still going now.

I have but the ones I find are damaged or ripped and are still wanting £250 plus for them, being a convertible seems to make it even harder finding one. The one I have isn’t damaged just grubby and stained so il try elbow grease first and then I’ve got a bit of leeway if it doesn’t work and at least...

I’m looking to remove the carpet from my car, it’s pretty grotty and faded, and there isn’t a patch I have found so far that gives a true representation of the original indigo colour so matching could be an issue. Can anyone recommend a descent carpet dye and or colour that matches. I’m lookinb for ...

I think I’ve answered my own question as it has Bowden cables operating the flaps.

I can get pictures tomorrow if it helps.

I’ve got an aircon kit for my car, but is there any easy way to tell the if the heater box is just straight A/C or if it has regulated temperature control (climate) as well. I don’t have the facia panel so can’t tell that way, the car has regulated temp control (non AC) at the moment so I’m obviousl...

Noooo, really. I've been watching out on eBay too. Thanks for the opinions I think I will do it. Do the systems differ a lot chrome bumper to the later cars?

That's a shame, I was thinking about fitting it as I'd like to use the car in Europe when it's done. I imagine finding a donor car these days that's complete. I wouldn't have imagined it to be too bad compared to modern standards when in good working order.

I would strip, but I'm not sure I'd trust myself not to miss anything as I've not had a lot to do with stripping down E30's before.......unlike a proper specialist breaker, also time and laziness. Cool, that's less than I though it would cost.

Before this turns into a wanted add what is the current going rate for a complete air con setup. All parts, so loom, ac heater box, extra fan, pipework, switch gear etc. Serviceable items like condenser and receiver drier etc aren't a problem. I know it's a pig to do but I want it and the car will b...

Is there a source where you can buy 64mm throttle butterfly's or repair kits to use when converting an M20 throttle body to big bore spec. Or is it a case of butchering a good m30 throttle body for its bits?

Thank you for the advice.

I wonder what a dash may from Australia would be like.

Ive recently purchased an uncracked dashboard for my car. Is there any way I can prevent the new one from the same fait that most dashes suffer. I know keeping them from the exposure of direct sunlight will help prolong, so a dash cover would go a long way. But are there any products that will help ...

Give Dave Upton a call, trades as Uptons & sons in Hastings. Very good trimmers and an easy bloke to talk too.

I rarely post on here, but I browse every few weeks and the quality of posts on here are far superior than on fb. I used to 'like' the e30zone FB page but I got so fed up with what is wrong with my car or what do you think of this and the general lack of intelligence. The only thing the Facebook pag...

Where about in the south east are you? There are some good blading firms around, A&C blasting in ticehurst are good at intricate objects.

Bmw-mad, have you had any luck looking?

Thanks that would be really handy.

I will have a look. Thanks.

I had a look on OEM and it says ended. I would re colour it, but finding anything seems a struggle.

It's no.4 in the diagram.

I'm after a side cover in cream for my 635, it is a run out model highline with the sports seats and lotus white leather. It's missing a the outside cover off the right hand seat where the tilt mechanism lives, are there any E24 specific breakers or where the seats fitted in other models/covers inte...

The bumpers on my pre facelift have a few scuffs on the edges and they look like they are either painted or have some kind of durable laminate over the top of the plastic, what is the best way to smarten them up? Is it to flat them back and paint them satin as they are smooth already? The front indi...

I may have answered my own question using 8mm hollow wing bead, just will have to cut the flange down.

I'm revamping the fog lights on my car and the round rubber seal that pushes in the plastic cover has shrunk about an inch. I have had a look on COH baines website to see if they do anything that would suit but I couldn't see anything. I also had a look on real OEM but it does appear to list them se...

Has anyone bought these before. Seem far too cheap to fit and look a reasonable colour match on the plastic. I know quality isn't going to be great but seeing as descent front indicators seem hard to come by for pre facelift cars I thought they may be worth a go. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...
