E30 Zone

Wd40? Forget that C90 the shit iut of them, then suck it up, put breaker bar and lay on strong boy. They will move!

If you are going to modify an m3 youmay aswell paint it orange and go bananas. I think it looks rad

So far my experience with my h&r springs is very pleasant & generally have a good reputation. Took about 11 days to arrive and do a 40mm drop all round

Is this from the e30zone facebook group? https://scontent-a-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash2/t31/s720x720/169596_193937274078577_2032387283_o.jpg Either way, this album is much more interesting :D https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.206755632796741.46076.164820993656872&type=3 "Rough chics climb...

£4k is my guess. I think £3k is putting it a bit low for a hald decent non ragged sport. Subject to condition and pics possible more/ less

Express your opinions but no need to be rude and call people "dickheads" etc. for the most part it sounds like a lot of people jealous they dont have an m3. Personally i would not put it on air; but i also dont have an m3 and what's the issue if its reversible? Also, its an m3 that is clearly being ...

I would rip his arm off for £100. That last one can be fixed (ive seen worse) and Ronals are very sought after. That's my two pennith!

I rcognise that 924! Retro Rides Gathering last year? I had the "methlab" motorhome and sent you some pics. I too had a thing for 924s and took my S to RRG 10!

Just a quick update, a nice chap from here called James is giving me some bits for Rudi this weekend including a complete set of 51mm struts. Very much looking forward to installing them and then deciding on ride height!

thanks or that Brianmoooore. Much appreciated!

Oke doke thanks

That only works from the boot!

Now, it's possible this is a common problem and Rudi has her fair share of foibles. Can anyone suggest or summarise any potential problems this indicates and what I should try / am for?

Haynes manual arrives Friday....!

Many thanks!

Thanks dude appreciate that

Cheers chaps so hard to find ones for 45mm struts (which mine has now I've got it up & wheel off!) so figured a better bet was to get the 51s anyway so when I do the conversion it will all be transferable

Thanks again!

Anyone think this will work with my 320i?

BMW 3 SERIES 320I H&R 310032 Suspension Cup Sport Lowering Kit (F: 60 R: 40mm)

And... If i buy 51mm struts will this kit still work or would I need to get a different set that would work with 51mm struts?

I used to buy a lot of parts from North Oxford Garage between 1988 and 1995 - the parts bloke (Derek) is still there but they moved from Banbury Road to what used to be the City Motors Vauxhall garage on the Woodstock roundabout (A40). The original dealership building is still owned by Robert Bucki...

So, picked up Rudi a few weeks ago. Spent about £100 to get her through the MOT (4 feb) - mainly ball joint and a few other bits nothing too major (phew,). Always wanted an e30 and because this is going to be "the ultimate sleeper project" I wanted something fairly innocuous; a four door mala green ...

Yessir! See below!

As per some pics I'll upload tonight if I get to it it's defo mala green. Quite funny how we are chatting away on this topic and popping away at each other on another one! Hehe

Haha fair enough.

My dear Chap: I have read it correctly - you are berating the wrong person. However, it's you that is being pedantic and trying to start some futile argument in a vain attempt to be clever*. Just responding in kind "my dear chap". You will note my first comment was helpful and on topic. Thereafter ...

Whats the V5 got to do with anything? :mad: The car rental company are as much at fault here as the scumbag that cant drive, there is no reason why Rich should have to put his hand in his own pocket or bribe the scumbag into coughing up either :roll: If beemerlad is up for dealing with this id get ...

Thats a lovely height thank you for that pic! Not tempted by 40-60?

What size are those wheels please?

Im knew and Im not wading into this one but a v5 is not proof of ownership. The log book can be in anyone's name. Proof of purchase is proof of ownership. the V5c just shows who is responsible for tax and insurance. I wouldn't even claim on your insurance for this, unless it is substantial. I'd get...

btw for those interested, how she sits at the moment.

But as I said right at the start whilst I appreciate i'm canvassing opinion i'm doing so in relation to "how" not "why" or "whether". The Zone is a very supportive place for people who mod their E30s; probably every other car on the Member's section has a mod of some sort. But you seem to be confus...

The 51mm or 45mm is the diameter of the strut insert that fits down inside the suspension leg where you have tried to measure, hence the confusion measuring the outside dia of the suspension leg. Extremely helpful thank you for your reply! :) Would be, if not for the fact that it's totally incorrec...

If you go for coiloverzz (I wouldn't -they're shite), you need to grease ip the threaded adjusting rings and coat the springs in spray grease. The cheaper ones are very poorly made and one decent winter will render them scrap. As ever, a set of quality springs such as the Eibach prokit and a new se...

I was a yoof a few years ago when I bought my E30. I found myself with some sketchy DIY made coilovers. Whacked them on and immediately wished i had aids instead. Forked out and got some FK konigsports which are excellent and do go pretty low if you want them to. I'd go for decent springs and shock...

I don't know if 32 makes a a "yoof" or not. Hopefully. But as I said right at the start whilst I appreciate i'm canvassing opinion i'm doing so in relation to "how" not "why" or "whether". It's not that I don't appreciate the effort but let's face it we all do things that someone somewhere will not ...
