Fitted a new battery and bled the clutch! Next is new brakes all round and MOT

Haha so much hate! People are always going to have their own opinions, but to call the guy 'a complete fucking idiot' is a bit extreme. Lol.

I'm thinking of putting my 325i cab on air, which company did you use for the bags? And did you fit the kit yourself or pay someone to fit it for you?

Thanks a lot guys! In the process of buying all the parts now. Will do a little build thread when I get started as well. I'll have a flick through the wiki as well to see what else I can get done!

Hi everyone, I've not been on here for a while. I'm about to start work on my 325i cab that I've had for around 6 months. Bodywork is solid but not sure on the condition of the under carriage. My plan is to replace as many parts as I can. So far I've got these n my list: Wishbones Track rod ends Dis...

Quick update, weather is a little better this morning and not as cold. Started her up and only a little steam which almost disappeared once the engine had warmed up! Cheers for the help though guys, put my mind at rest!

Thanks for the replies guys. I kinda figured they would get steamy just the smell of the steam that bothered me. Smells a bit like fuel, is this normal? Maybe running a bit rich?

sounds fairly normal to me, on very cold mornings they can really steam a lot ! Yes I agree, the m20 is one of the steamy engines when cold i have come across. I have also read the opening post again and there is no coolant loss. I'll get me coat :D Haha yeah best had mate! Been a long weekend? Lol

Thanks mate, putting my mind at rest a little but! Blown head is all I need at this time of year!! Especially with very little mechanical skill!!

Is it any water? What do you mean? Well that didnt make any sense :D Is it loosing any water from the cooling system. Much better :) Haha no it its not losing any water from the cooling system. It recently had a service, full coolant change and oil change around a month ago and the coolant hasn't b...

What do you mean?

Hi, thanks for the quick reply! I am totally new to BMW's especially old ones. The heaters are fine. Blowing hot and cold on all settings. It is a non AC model. And the temp needle sits just below half after warming up. Never goes any higher! To be honest when I bought the car a couple of months bac...

Hi Everyone! Recently my 325i cab has decided it wants to produce a nice big smokescreen from the exhaust. Now I know there are plenty of head gasket threads about but I am after some help troubleshooting from the guys on here that are the gurus! The car has 161k miles and has been serviced regularl...

Hi All!! Right I have finally narrowed my choice of suspension down to GAZ Coilovers. They offer two setups, one with seperate spring and shock and the other being full coilover. Now I have heard people talking about converting the rears to full coilovers, however have also heard that doing this is ...

Going off that guide my car came to a value of £2100. Not too bad seeing as I only payed £1400 for it 2 months ago! Red 325i Cab

Cheers mate!!

Also, is there any that will look nice under the tech2 valance?
Yeah of a Renault Scenic, its the regular lip, if you search these forums someone has done it recently.

Sent you a PM Tanveer.

Cheers for the pics guys!! Like the vr6 splitter. How did you mold it to fit so well?

Cheers! Love the Wiki but didnt see this.

Hi all! I am currently looking for a splitter for my 325i Cab. I know the obvious choice is the 'is' splitter but was wondering what other splitters people are using?

Pictures if you have got them please!

Thanks

Ive heard / read good things about the Koni sport dampers, just need to get a good set of springs to match. Im either going down the Koni or Gaz route but the Gaz coilys are so frickin expensive (unless there is enough interest for a group buy!?!). For me overall drop is secondary to performance, m...

Get them refurbed then :) Blasted, powdercoated and then get the edges polished. Done 8) It would help if you mentioned where you are and someone may be able to recommend someone close to you. Yeah I will be getting them refurbed just want to know if anyone has done it, maybe see a few pics before ...

Hi all!

I am thinking of polishing the 15" standard E30 BBS, maybe a mirror polish on the lip and dish and just a good clean up in the centres. Try and get them looking a bit better.

Is this possible? Has anyone got any experience of doing this and has anyone got any pics if they have?

Cheers

Well what brands to reccomend all depends on a realistic budget really , i mean i i could afford it id have gaz through and through due to not only the quality of them but the service you receive from dealing directly with gaz (mark gazzard) themselves . There not cheap but the do the job ,road or ...

I have already decided on coilovers just looking for recommendations on brands. And low enough for there not to be a massive arch gap.

Thanks for the replies guys but honestly didnt want your opinions on what you think it will look like. Just opinions on different setups. Cheers for the advice on the prosports, ill avoid them. Thanks for the advice on the FK's aswell. Ill look into them! Anyone else got any usefull advice/recommend...

Hi everyone! I have sourced some 16x8j (front) and 16x9j (rear) wheels for my 325i Cab and I am in need of some lows! I'm after a good set of coilovers. Have looked at Gaz and KW, but will I be able to get low enough on these sets? Anyone got any experience on this? Also looked at the cheaper sets l...

I've got a 325 Convertible in Red that I might be selling soon. My email is fisher_1612@yahoo.co.uk. If you are interested let me know and I will send you details and pics.
