E30 Zone

I recon its a dry joint in the ECU as I said in a previous thread.

Nice work mate

, any nikasil issues with that block?.

M40/M41/M43 are missing off that list

Is this the one?

I've always been a fan of Arktisblau, Lachssilber & Delphin grey.

If your brave paint it luxorbeige!, I have an e34 in that colour and i think its quite pimp!

Cheers, The one on there has only been on there about a month, some kind soul decided to write it off when parked up, i'll swap the e30 one with it in the morning, it looks like the insurance company have decided its beyond economical repair

.

Will an e34 520i alternator fit a 320i auto?, both engines are m20, mines just packed up, and I have a 520i sat on the drive.

Cheers all.

Rear shoes?

I just thought of something.

Back in the day when I were a lad.
I owned 2x Mazda 323f GTi 16v's, (141bhp), both rolling roaded at 149bhp.
Now, both of these cars would hammer golf gti 16v's, but it couldnt touch a 325i.

Oh, deffo not an e30 colour mate, and not seen it done on one. so a big

from me.

Talking of towing, A friend of mine bought a calibra V6, and on the way home the engine seized, His mate who took him up there ended up towing the calibra back 60 miles, In a 1.1 Rover kensington 5 door metro! :O

Lol sorry, missed the "m30" bit, I must learn to read posts without scanning through them.

Snapped valve, slipped cam belt?

I've currently got a 2.0i auto e30 cabby, and im planning on doing a 2.7i conversion. But im not sure whether to use my current 2.0i head(with 2.5 inlet/throttle & cam), or a 2.5i head?, im keeping it auto as its going to be used as a cruiser. I Was thinking of the 2.0i head as its an auto, and need...

I've repaired a few bosch ecu's with great success!.

Bypass the relay with a bit of wire with 2 spade connectors on it, and drive it for a while, make sure you remove it when you have finished lol!.

If it still does it I recon its a dry joint in the ecu.

i'm not sure what this is about but i like the sound of it! can anyone divulge some more info? i worked with a guy who had the m logo on the binnacle which illuminated and it looked quite trick. is this same thing? Yes, but if you put it straight in instead of the "check" bit, it will only work as ...

I'm thinking if i change the orange bulb for a clear bulb i could wire them to my side lights is this still road legal

I would say its still legal mate.

I've just this minute done the exhaust manifold & rocker gaskets, i'll whip the dash out over the weekend if im not too busy and take some snaps so everyone can see what track to cut

Do me a favour mate, E30s are smart but there are quicker 'inferior' cars out there. An early 325i would be a very close battle, but a later one would quite likely be disposed of by a Golf 16v.

Whatever!

Lots on ebay, quality varies..

MHW & Inpro tend to be one of the best quality.
Halfords do them on order im sure, and the quality is fantastic on the front/side indicators I have bought from there.

Get some pic's up bud...

Indeed mate, just got the wait for this topless novalty to wear off, cant be long seeing as its getting closer to winter

Sounds like a dry joint in the ECU?

It should be the first mod on the list for any e30 owner

Get some caliber csc5's for the front, they are a cracking sounding speaker for the money, i've fitted 100s without a complaint.

just chuck a decent 10cm or mod them for 13cm's in the rear for the passengers.

That is one hell of a machine, I want it

Rockers wear out quicker than the cam on the m20, also Clean out the oil spray bar!!!, or replace it!!!.

Plug and play mate!, just use your existing holders.

Cheers Nix, I went over to the jap side for about 2 months, I had a very quick GTO, but after owning 8 or more bmw's, I had to go back. But I want a cabby for my cruiser and nice days (wishfull thinking), and probably going to go for an e28 m535i or a e34 540 for my fun car, so manual in one, and au...

For those of you with a ///M Check light badge. Would you like it to stay permanently lit?, would you like to still see it function as a check lamp?.... I Had a think and came up with this, with my modification as soon as you turn the ignition on and press the the brake light. it will illuminate per...

Seeing as I've just got another e30... I can start posting on here again :). Hello all. I've just bought a diamond black e30 320i cabby, soon to have alpina type 2.7i conversion or possibly a 3.0 or 4.0 V8, or even a 2.5 24v, I havent decided yet, but the 2.7i seems the easiest and cheapest option. ...

a 1984 323i Phase 2???? Not only is it too early to be a phase2, they didnt do a phase 2 323 anyway?? Cut and shut lol?, or has it got a dodgy reg. I'd love someone to ask some q's http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-323i-E30-Model-With-2-5-litre-engine-12-MONTHS-MOT_W0QQitemZ270013003111QQihZ017QQcategoryZ98...

I used to have a 850ci manual, I wouldnt have another 850i, I beleive the 4.4 v8 840 is a better car, If I were to buy another 8 i'd go for the 850csi, but they aint cheap.

Get a nice 325i/328i coupe, The e36 is a much better car than the e30, anyone who thinks otherwise is out of there mind, or in denial.
