you might as well explain the complicated reasons bit. 13.8 is spot on what it should be. not that I am advising it, but you can look into how the voltage regulator works and try to make it work for what you think you need. i'm very interested to hear why you think you need more voltage though

If I am doing the quick math correctly, you'd need 3" and 3.5" lips to get that width with those wheels and I dont think you'll have the clearance to the wing to run that wide of a lip on an e30

RMs are 2 piece, and as you mention, the lips can be changed for a wider/narrower version. ET is measured from the centerline of the wheel, so changing the lips to a wider/narrower version will change the overall width of the wheel, thus changing the centerline, which in turn changes the ET.

Does anyone have an idea of how the oil flows through a filter housing? I have a s50 oil filter housing on my m52 and am trying to work out how I am going to install my oil temp sensor so I can use my m3 cluster. The s50 housing has a provision for the temp sensor but I need to use it for the VANOS ...

I'm using an e36 328 prop on my m52 swap by installing the e30 center bearing mounted backwards. The e36 prop has the bearing on the rear half of the prop, should I tension it towards the diff as you would normally, or, since I have installed it backwards, tension it the other way, towards the gearb...

e36 M5x pump.

the recommendation is to upgrade the steering rack to e36/e46 while you have the engine out. the e30 rack can be used, it's just not as good. DanThe has the spacers and PAS pipes that you need if you decide to upgrade to the newer rack.

If anyone needs to borrow said tool, PM me

what have you blanked the ports off with? I'd replace the p/s pump with one without the self leveling ports.

Anyone need one? I will be ordering one in a bit and can get a couple if needed.

This is the connector you will need. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VDO-240-026-3-Prong-Connector-with-Terminals-/311197919565?hash=item4874d7694d Also, just to double check Dooce, the cluster has an Oil Temp, not pressure. Thanks for the link. Out of curiosity, how did you work out that's the one that ...

all the e30 coding plugs I have here are the physically the same, just have a different chip inside and a different part number on it. the e28 chip is a tiny bit narrower and quite a bit smaller overall and wont just slide into the e30 housing. the housing will need to be modified somehow, I havent ...

use coding plug BMW part number 1377664. its from the e28 m5 that has a 6 cylinder signal and the 8k tach. you'll need to pull the chip out of the plastic housing and make it fit into an e30 coding plug housing, so not plug and play

I'm doing the same. You need to find somewhere to mount the oil temp sensor. When Danthe built my loom, I had him add the wires for the sensor so I will just add a pin to the body side of the c101 and run it to the back of the cluster. The cluster has a black 3 pin T connector on the back side of th...

this may be better off on a US forum, but has anyone used an e30 aircon fan on their m52 swap? my touring had aircon originally and I would like to put it back on. I believe the wiring is still there. I am using an e36 aircon radiator with the temp sensor in the side, how should I go about getting i...

You can run the 16x7.5 with E30 M3 5 stud on a standard bodied E30. Can even run up to a 225/45/16 tyre on the front and back. http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=145693&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=75 Brilliant! Thanks for that. Same wheel/tyre size I am considering.

A bit old but maybe this guy can help?

Does anyone know if swapping to E30 M3 suspension will alter the track width (wheel mounting face to wheel mounting face)? I will be using m3 suspension and am looking at wheel options. I want to run the 16x7.5 et27 BBS wheel that came on some m3, and if I have calculated it right, there is only a s...

Can anyone tell me the part number for the connector for the oil temp gauge on the back of an m3 cluster?

Thanks for clarifying guys.

So it that what #10 is? It's labeled as 'foil' part number 51712239714

Much easier than having to source an air con valance...

Was the black around the fogs and oil cooler opening there as well or was from something else?

rephrased the title to hopefully find an answer.

sport or comfort seats?

Has anyone with a factory M Tech 2 non air con had the front lower valance off of their car? I am trying to figure out if the tech 2s came with an air con metal valance or whether the valance was just painted black behind the upper intake of the M Tech 2 valance. Did the factory M Tech 2 Sports come...

Anyone know of a place to buy the correct color coded wiring? I am replacing the fuel pump wire from the fuse box to the fuel pump and would prefer not to use off the shelf solid colored wire. I can cut it out of another car but it would be too short to run the length so would require splicing it in...

That's what I am reading in the wiki as well but I assure you, replacing the fuse fixes them both. Maybe two wires touching somewhere they shouldnt be then?

Is there a common fix if fuse 12 keeps blowing? I've got an 89 318 touring that has lost fuse 12 twice in the past week. The tach, analog clock, and interior lights don't work when this happens. The radio still works but it may not be on the original loom. Oh, the speedo quit working a couple of wee...

If you are using the e36 ZF box, you need to use the linkage from that gearbox as well. Not an e30 one.

Any chance anyone has better pictures/info for the e36 hybrid steering linkage found in the steering rack wiki:

http://www.e30zone.net/e30zonewiki/inde ... onversions

The pictures are tiny and I cannot read them.

Anyone know the width and offset of the 16" M3 BBS alloys? They aren't in the wiki..

mine are getting polished

The bolts or the wheels? I havent used him yet but I will be sending my bolts, lips and caps to this guy.

http://the-polisher.tripod.com/index.html

Can anyone tell me how I should identify e30 m3 strut tubes and rear trailing arms against a set of e36 items?

Why order new bolts? If you've got original BBS bolts, I would just send them off for polishing. Not worth doing yourself unless you have one of those polishing tumblers. If you MUST order new ones, they can be found here: http://store.blackforestindustries.com/bbsrsparts.html I'm not sure they have...

On my 1988 320i Touring I cannot lock the car from the driver's door. The central locking locks from passenger side and tailgate. Central locking will unlock from the all the locks, including the driver's door. Anything quick I could try?
