E30 Zone

Great post! Looking forward to the pics

I also watch his videos religiously, at first I did find them a bit boring.

But his improved editing and humour kept me watching.

Does anyone have any thoughts on blacklion BU66 tyres?

I’ve heard a lot of people raving about how good they are for the price...... anyone on here have any first-hand experiences?

Cheers

Hi mate do you still own this car?

Does anyone know where I can get plates made up with Milcars logos other than pukur?

I had these done by Retro plates on Instagram they did a fantastic job even did me a dealer window sticker too

So who’s there on Saturday then?
I might be keen to come up from Bristol. Is there any details anywhere for it?

Unless I haven’t looked properly, I can’t really see any posts on the zone about it.

I saw it on a Ace Cafe website

So who’s there on Saturday then?

Topic revival!
Thought I'd throw this is from mine. Newport is just a few miles down the road.

Hi mate!

My car also is from this dealer, as I’m looking to get some pre production plates made what year is your car?

Cheers

As a comparison here is 225/40R16

That really does look good! It’s unfortunate that it seems that no one stocks that size anymore

Cheers for the input lads, I think 205 50 16 is looking like a better option due to tyre option and price too

Was that the original size on these?

205/50 although I prefer wider tyres, 225/45

Hmm I’ve just had a look, not much tyre choice in the 225.

Do they look too thin or too balloon like with the 225 45?

Hello zoners!

Finally managed to source a set of 16” 4x100 Hartge alloys (non staggered set)

Does anyone on here know what the original tyre sizes of these wheels are?

Thanks

Cheers mate, doesn’t look too bad. I think I can live with that need the weight increase!

Is the Hartge logo not printed correctly or is that just glare?

Looks nice, these pictures on eBay always concerned me because never look like the pictures on the advert

Cheers mate thanks!

In the end went for one of these instead.

Apologies if this has been covered before!

My fuel pump on the 318i M40 has finally packed up.

Anyone know which replacement I need for this? Don’t really think I need the whole unit just the pump itself?

Is there a like for like replacement for the pump?

Thank you!!

Thread bump!!! Are you still doing these?

Thanks

That’s gutting! I think A few years ago I even saw them for sale brand-new on a website, not sure if it was Hartge though.

Cheers mate, I will definitely drop a PM to see if they still do a solution

Good evening all!

I’ve recently picked up some Hartge 16” alloy wheels but a few of the clips are missing and one of them is even repaired with a milk bottle top

Are these caps still available to buy new?

its not a direct fit for either of the linkage or power steering lines
I’ve heard that for RHD it is for the linkage? Not 100% sure though

I’ve heard this too!

I’ve seen mixed information on this, I think it’s LHD that need an extension of the UJ

Hello all!

I’ve managed to find a Z3 2.7 Turn rack (3213 1094038)

As per the wiki ‘ The fastest rack, and no need for a custom steering linkage, makes this the perfect rack.’

Is it really that easy to fit this rack? Can I still use E30 power steering lines or do I need custom ones?

Cheers

Looking for the above, in decent condition

Is the 1.9 shifter a vast improvement over stock in terms of throw?

Hello all!

I have a 89 318i Getrag 240 box, has anyone fitted a short shifter to this gearbox and what are your recommendations?

I’ve looked at E30 wiki and the Z3M sounds good....

Need some help from the wizards on the zone, I have a 320d M47 2005. For the past year I have noticed that the cooling system is pressurising more than it should. As I can see that the cap was throwing out coolant And I would need to top it up every couple of days, The car would never overheat. I ha...

Good morning,

Can I please get a price on a camshaft sensor please.

The chassis number is VA30009

Thank you in advance

So a friend of mine has just bought this car recently off the second owner.......

I have to say it is a very clean car!

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre ... 2100954272

I bought this for my 318i M40, The quality is pretty decent a lot cheaper than any other custom exhaust. I need to get the rear valance cut to accommodate the twin pipes. Looks OEM as well

I'll give the HIDs a try, standard bulbs aren't great at all.

I've looked at LED options the only problem is that you don't get a 360 degrees of light from the chip

Where did you mount the ballasts? I know water/moisture usually kills these.

Wow that's a long time, what brand ballast did you use?

I'm assuming you used H1 35w type.
