Re: fuel consumption on my 325

the blue temperature sensor raises an interesting point... i have recently changed this as my temp gauge has stopped working! But that did not solve the problem, so am i right in thinking that maybe the car is running on cold start all the time? as the gauge is always showing cold :?

Re: fuel consumption on my 325

i do have a fairly heavy foot but sometimes i can just to about 10 miles and the fuel gauge will seriously drop! the previous owner said that he had it re-tuned but maybe this has caused over fueling? i really cannot think why its like this! always stinks of unburnt fuel :(

Re: Looking terminal

i had holes in both foot wells, both rear arches into the boot and have now had them fixed and wasn't that expensive, i also have rust all over my roof and that will be getting cut out and welded etc. If you love your e30 then don't give up on it! They are getting rare
