E30 Zone

The car came with crystal two lamp grill, which is really poor ok dipped and full. As yet I've not wired in the full beam spots though but I dont need to use them (only ever evening town driving for the next few weeks) and am waiting on some parts. An issue I have with changing to clear glass like T...

Pfffttt who cares about MOTs. :p It's more that I'm trying to improve the light output from the car really as standard lights were awful, but I'd also like to have the output correct for the type of lights. The golf lens is distorting the pattern, I bet there will be glare when driving towards it at...

the pattern on the glass..... http://www.catuned.com/content/images/thumbs/0000213_e30-headlights-clear-hella.jpeg See how there is no pattern on the centre of the E30 glass (painted white lines) & My non HID light beam is exactly as Dans. It could be the VW lens is distorting the pattern from the ...

Cheers DanThe. I can't recall what my E30's lights were like and they were only normal not HIDs. I'm asking for photos as I've been doing a mod on my golf using a spare set of E30 projectors and I'm trying to work out if they are too low or if the glass pattern is changing the light output. http://i...

Random I know, but could people post up some photos of the beam pattern for your E30's projector head lights. Ideally a couple of car lengths from and onto a wall.

Cheers.

Billing would be possible for me, but I'm now in a dirty VW (not a dub, I'm not a fucking bellend..well, not totally).

Yeah, I bought the 35mm as a Sigma 30mm (f.14) or 50mm was something like over 3x the cost. At £140 for the 35mm it is brilliant value. You get so much clarity with a prime it really is a worthwhile change and as you say, makes you compose shots properly rather than just 'I'm too close, zoom out' or...

I'd go prime too Sanchez. I love using my 35mm Nikon prime, such nice shots straight from the camera even before lightroom. F1.8 is awesome, the colours and depth of field available over the 18-55 are just so much better. Plus it has a proper focus ring not that stupid end of lens one so you can act...

I went to this last year (as a non club person, cheaper if you arrange as the zone for a stand) and it was great fun. Loads of proper old cars, minimal BMWs mind.

I'm still around and still driving German, just the driven wheels also steer now. I actually much prefer it to the E30 really (stone him etc.). Some photos I took whilst visiting my parents for Christmas this year. http://i.imgur.com/Xv2BbESl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/BFp0etUl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/2E...

Not today, Monday, but, sold it...on to something else similarly old once I find the right one.

The green cab looks brilliant, but as you say, it really needs a different interior.

Nobody went...

So I've done my editing...I'll only post BMWs and some highlights here, more images can be found here though if you want to see other cars. http://finaldecap.co.uk/images/20130818_RRG13/DSC_0186_w_w.jpg http://finaldecap.co.uk/images/20130818_RRG13/DSC_0188_w_w.jpg http://finaldecap.co.uk/images/201...

If you think that's a good deal, you can buy my running, with MOT and tax cab for £5k....

As pac1982 has said, it sounds like you have something seized or failed. Have you strips the doors down and removed the actuators and tried the locks again? Something is obviously stopping it from working and if the ECU is fine then I'd look at the next electrical thing as well as the mechanical sid...

I don't have ant E30 photos or videos on my phone but will process some on the PC tomorrow, I do have some other videos though....

Will be there for sure, may be in a mate's focus as my car appears to have issues, again.

Drove it over to a mates, drove back and had an odd knock/vibration that feels like it is coming from the near side rear when in second between 2000 and 3000 revs.....early start tomorrow before heading to Prescott, might have to go in the Focus.

Yeah, I quite like the look of these: http://www.rclick.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=50&products_id=1112 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370448210613 As it means I just have the fob with the key incorporated due to the immobiliser system on the car currently (don't really want 2 fobs AND a key). The downs...

Is CL standard on the e30? Either mine hasnt got it or it's just broken. Central locking would be cool It was an option iirc from the wiki, although a lot seem to have it. RightClick was the company. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Central-Lock-Locking-Kit-Remote-Keyless-CLR788-ULT-/360502525790?pt=UK_Ca...

I have had a look on ebay, lots include indicator flashing, beepers/horns and all sorts of extra rubbish I have no interest in. Which is annoying but I guess you don't have to wire all of the extras in so it isn't too big a deal. One thing I did notice on one is that their install instructions are j...

Sounds like you're over fuelling (for the rich small and cutting out), the fuel consumption is correct when stationary.

Over fuelling can be attributed to the blue temp sensor so it's worth testing that before you start fiddling with other bits.
What RPM does the car idle at by the way?

Right, I'm fed up of my CL, yes CL is great and all but putting the key in all the time? Urgh annoying! So, does anyone have any idea how easy/hard it is to install an RCL unit to the Cabs? I'm after radio RCL and not IR RCL I'd also like the fob to not be a horrible piece of turd and be at least sl...

Drove it to BMW to collect some parts, went and picked up some new tools too, all well and good. Waited for the postman to deliver my lockheed washers, unfortunately they didn't turn up. A week after ordering and nothing yet I've had other deliveries, RM really do annoy me. Looks like I'm going to b...

Not me but I often get the nod and wave from other E30s and classic BMWs in Bristol. Not actually seen any zoners that I've met at meets when out and about though.

It's always nice to no/smile and wave to other owners.

There is no OBD port or OBDII port, there is only a service port.

As Grrrmachine (enough rs?) says, multimeter is the diag tool of choice on these old cars.

Both....and my cab has neither.

it's not an E30 but it's in the members area ? there is the other BMW sections... :? I think the thread was actually started back when it was 'Photos Section'. Given this section is pretty much just about projects / builds it fits in here fine. If it was in the 'Other BMWs' section I'd probably nev...

On a cabby, stick with OEM / Lemforder, pointless stiffening up the ride as it'll never be a fast road / track weapon.

I think imgur has a max limit on file size and total number of pictures, can't remember on bandwidth. I have previously maxed out photobucket a few times on build type threads which is why I dumped it in favour of my own website's storage as the limits are so much higher. Equally though the amount o...

Imgur has an app and I'd assume Flickr does given how big it is.
