My E28 is doing the same. What batteries do I need?

Hi...

Could anyone point me in the right direction of some DME-type ignition leads for my M20B25 (they have to be the non-distributor type apparently).

Could also do with cap and arm to suit too.

It's in my '85 E28 (sorry, not sorry) if that makes any difference...

Thanks in advance.

Oooooh, special!

What else can you do?

It was Lachs silver with black leather.

Yeah, I know it's still on the same plate, hence me asking if anyone knew of its whereabouts...

Years ago, some of you may remember I had an '88 Portuguese imported 320iS from Wayne Howlett. While I had it, I put my private plate on it - D5 GMR Through a series of misfortunes, I sold the car with the plate on and was unable to retrieve it before the new owner 'did one' with it. Long story. Doe...

ClassicLine Insurance for me.

The E36 M3 Evo was £290 a year, with my 9 points...!

Worth a website visit!

Agreed. I had a 328i Sport a few years back, and while it was a very competent car... it is no match for the M3 Evo. Update... Medic! Coil-pack down! It gave up the ghost on my way down to Edition38 on Saturday. Managed to get there and then limp home on the Sunday. It's in now for a replacement and...

Well... I've bought a '96 silver M3 Evo saloon now. I've had it for just over a month now and I love it. Even PacerPete gave it a semi-thumbs up when he saw it a few weeks back, so it can't be that bad! Eibachs on, Momo wheel on, and all's going well. Style 5's refurb'd and I've managed to rebuild o...

I'm hoping that the one I'm going to see tomorrow is a good 'un. It's a bog-standard saloon, so I'm hoping it's not been pushed too hard for most of it's life.

I AM prepared to be disappointed though!

So, a '96 sub-100k M3 Evo Saloon with FBMWSH is going to be a dog if it's under £5k...?

Jaymos... I dunno. I'll tell you tomorrow!

It does look nice, but for another £400 you could get an M3!

Well, put it like this... in Total BMW this month there's a pair of E28's in there. One of them is rocking E30 leather Sports seats, so I assume that it's a reversible option!

E28's will fit though...

So where are you based now Ben? Are you over in Milan like your info says? Or are you back in the UK now?

Style 5's are like 'pina reps...? But they're genuine BBS's dude. I have a frown on my face while I'm writing this! lol

My old 328i Sport was a fantastic car, even though it was a slush box. It's no M3 though. I'm going for a 4-dr for a couple of reasons... non-modded examples are much more common, kids can go in the back without too much effort (Ben - just got married (again) - she's great this time though!) and I f...

So... I'm eventually coming back in to the BMW fold, although it's going to be an E36 - sorry! I've sold my amazing A4 and have my heart set on an E36 Evo. I'm going to look at one on Saturday and apart from rear arch corrosion, rear turret cracks and the hope that it's not a smoker/rattler... what ...

Both my Mum and my Sister have E46 Tourings. Brilliant cars... one's a 330i and the other is a 320i.

I think I've have another E36 328i Sport or an M3.

There IS a lot of council tat on the poor thing.

De-chav it and it would make a nice motor.

Have you ever seen them use it...?

Granted... they may have sat in the pits or on the start line with their foot resting there I suppose... lol

I completely disagree with that... sorry. Having a decent seat and harness installed and you shouldn't need to 'brace yourself' at all. I never condoned riding the clutch, ever... it's just there's no need to 'rest' your clutch foot while racing/track-daying... you need it quite often! It's like hav...

I too felt like that at the start, but having run 3 cars with adapters, I've got no problems with them. They are just the same as having bolt-on spacers...

I've just had a set of hub adapters machined up for my Golf, complete with stainless heli-coils placed into the alloy adapters to stop any problems with losing the threads. Cost me £135 for a set of 4 - 2x20mm and 2x25mm widths... 5x100 - 5x112 stud pattern. I'm sure they can do 4x100 conversions to...

If you're using it as a track car... why the hell do you need a foot rest?

Jeez... what do you want for £2k...? No, it comes with the single carb. The twin carbs are not fitted. They are available, with the inlet manifold, by separate negotiation. (Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I understand, they'll also fit an E21/E30 318 lump) As already mentioned, the car is in...

Whoops! Must have got my Ti's mixed up with my Tii's - sorry!

For £2k it doesn't come with Recaros or the twin carbs/manifold though... though they are available separately.

This lovely bit of kit is still available. Give my old man a bell... he'll be happy to talk to you.

Dad's is a '71 2002 Ti - round rear lights.

It also came with some super cool period Recaros as well as the standard interior. They are pretty shot but would be ace once re-trimmed (was thinking about using them myself)... and it came with twin-45's... complete with inlet manifold!

Bloody hell... that's terrible!

Probably only good for the chrome/brightwork

Yeah, it was the Granada Red '02 - he pulled it from eBay as he thought he had sold it.

Give him a bell... he's just taken some new pics of it this morning and he'll be able to e-mail them to you...

Cheers,

Giles

Give my Father a ring on 01507 605030 - tell him Giles (that's me, his son!) sent you. The buyer is trying to wriggle out of the deal at the moment, so it's potentially available again. The body is superb, having just had a complete resto... new brakes, fuel/brake lines, 13" BBS alloys and new tyres...

Are you kidding...?

We've just sold Dad's project '71 '02... it's getting picked up tomorrow.

Sorry!

They look like tiny Schnitzers...

Just found one on eBay for £400 with only 50k on it.

Might save us a few pennies. It's never driven hard as it's my Mums car.

Yeah, heard it's a known problem with the 3-litre boxes...

My Mum's '00 330i Touring Auto/tiptronic has just lost reverse gear. Put it into reverse and there's nothing. You can rev the engine and there's no movement.

Anyone know where we could get a replacement? I've been quoted £1500 for a re-con unit + labour to get it sorted.

Help!

Giles

We're going to pick up (another) E28 today... I'm well excited!
