E30 Zone

Thank you guys.

If I am reading the meter correctly then about 90 ma. The meter showed between approximately 86-90.

Fuse 21 seemed to be using between 25-30 and fuse 28 using approx 70-73

Hi guys, I have had a battery drain issue with my car, e30 325i touring and having done a draw test I have managed to single out the fuses as 21 and 28. Looking at the manual the list of possibilities it could be linked to these are quite numerous so looking for advice as how to go about eliminating...

Great effort dude, keep the updates coming!

(Although I think it would have been wise to use a proper seem sealer before going in with the filler)

Thanks guys.

Would the newer (non) BMW ones still be stamped do you know?

As per the title really, are the stamped or marked?
Any differences in them that help to identify if they are real or aftermarket? (it feels a little light but might just be me imagining it)

I checked on real oem and the radiator and fan and even the front panel etc seem to be the same on the 4 cylinder models as the 6.
I just wanted to check with you guys for your input on this.

According to the seller they are not adjustable to RHD and are not available in RHD versions either.

Thanks for the responses guys, I shall see what the seller has to say and let you know.

Are headlights for LHD and RHD the same but just setup differently or are they completely different units?
Just wondering as I saw these but noticed they were for LHD.

Ah, ok guys, thanks.
Any preferred types/brands of glue to reinstall?

How is the glass of the headlight held in place/how do I remove it?

This picture shows them dismantled but on realoem they appear to be sealed?

Cheerz,

Jon

Perhaps just flat off the existing paint with some wet n dry paper so it can always be buffed back up later?

If you like it then do it. Do it to please yourself and #### what anyone else thinks. I've fancied doing my blade a flat fighter jet type colour but not decided yet. The current paint work is starting to get a bit tatty (poor work by the company who had painted it before I'd purchased the bike I sus...

There we go, thank you for the info.

Why do you suggest the use of a urethane sealant over a silicone sealant?

Cheerz,

Jon

Indeed, I have just had the tailgate fixed/repainted and new seals put in and mine was too short from new, hence wondering if it was ok to silicone the gaps. I was just suprised that BMW would make a mistake like that so wasn't sure if they were designed like this for any drainage purposes etc. but ...

Ok, thanks for the input.

As long as it cannot leak in via that point then not a problem but as mentioned, might as well seal to stop water sitting there and promoting rust.

Hi guys,

Just wondering if you silicone seal the gaps in the corner as the bottom strip isn't long enough to fully seal corner to corner?

Cheerz,

Jon

Good stuff, well and truely getting stuck in!

Oh dear.....

That is one thing I haven't tried so will look in to it. (injectortune from other posts I have seen iirc?) While on the subject of injectors, I have heard of people using the M50 injectors as an improvement/upgrade over stock ones.. would this make any difference/would there be any point on a stock ...

Thanks for the input Brian, cool to know.

I have tried various things but with limited knowledge am running out of things to try..
Keep on keepin' on I guess

Ah, ok, thanks bud.

While we are sort of on sensors and such, my brown sensor plug has two ports but the plug itself only has one pin, is this normal? (mine is 325 touring, manual, non a/c)

Forgive my lack of knowledge but if they test using a gas analyser and the measurements aren't what they should be, how would they adjust/alter this?

So you suggest sealing up the corners then??
I have just put new seals around my tailgate glass and the 3 seals do not meet in the bottom corners.

Dremel?

Yeh, that appeared to be with in range according to the wiki stats.
Checked at plug and ecu end and cold/warm

The whole tip was dry black carbon, any thoughts?

What makes you think it's running rich? Changed the spark plugs on my 325 today along with oil and oil filter and new air filter. Spark plugs have dry carbon deposits, which means mine is running rich? Still trying to determine my low/rough idle.. (Apologies, not meaning to hijack your thread RS)

Large should just fit the E30 Touring you think? Wouldn't want it to be too baggy, which the XL may be

yep, second one down for me too. reflection on the side of the car looks great

Had a look through the ones I have and couldn't spot it, sorry bud.

Don't get too excited Dave!

Nevermind, thanks anyway mabz. adit posted the same # that was listed in the mag from 2006 so stands to reason they are still about.

I'm not actually in Peterborough but PE9, Peterborough is generally more recognized by people though.

Thanks for the response guys. I just spotted the add for them in the back of a Performance BMW mag and it stated they were E30 specialists.. It was from 2006 though so just thought I'd see. As said, will see if I can solve my engine woes first but shall be getting in touch with them if I can't, whic...
