Damn, was led to believe I was already on the list but it looks like I'm not, bugger. Judging by the additional list I'm not gonna get within a mile of the ACE :(

Re: touring speakers.

This is something I am going to do soon , my lad changed the speakers in his Touring, not sure what he fitted but rears were off Ebay, I think Kenwood or Pioneer, fronts not sure but all fitted in standard pods so no cutting and sound much better.

Touring rear spoiler resto

The rear spoiler on my white Touring has started to delaminate, just wondered if there is any way to restore the old one or is it a case of just replacing it with a good replacement?

Re: My 318i Touring

Giving it the love it deserves now, had a quick clean and polish but am going to give it a full clay bar and wax very soon. Using as much as possible now, took it to Santa Pod on Sunday and have to say got a fair bit of attention in the Show and Shine area where it was parked all day.

Re: My 318i Touring

All sorted, as well as cam being worn and one lifter that had collapsed it didnt really help that someone in the near past ( shortly before I bought it ) had fitted a new cambelt and timed it up about three light years out. Now runs and revs as it should and doesnt rattle now :)

Twisted seat question

Quick question guys, noticed lately that the drivers seat on the Touring is starting to twist towards the rear seat ( had same problem on the 2 dr 318i I had ). Anyone got any tips on fixing it as its getting worse and to be honest when I'm "playing" in the 325 I could do with sitting comfortably !!...

Just checking and excuse me if this has already been put on here, which I'm sure it has somewhere.

Will a 528 E34 engine fit in an E30 without swapping sumps etc??

Big thanks to the guys who turned up today, realise it was a bit short notice but on the bright side the weather was good.

We stayed there till about 4 ish, bit dissapointed with turnout but hopefully more takers next time.
