E30 Zone

Just a heads up: The campaign has reached it's goal, and there are now 10 days left to place an order if you want to have one of these shirts

lol, yeah. Two of the things the rest of the world knows us by is bridges and bacon

Thanks Guys, appreciate it.
Denmark is a nice little country, if only we had a couple of mountains and lower taxes/less strict rules on cars, it would all be perfect here

The car passed the Danish version of MOT today 8O I did not expect it to pass, so it was a pleasant surprise from the old lady. Now I just have to wait and see how much I have to pay in tax for importing the car. My guess is about 1600 Euro, but you never know when it's about taxes in this country :...

Looks great!

Took my son out for his first E30 drive yesterday

Just out the garage, then we washed it, and backed it back into it's cave again. Great day

If you like them, you should just reserve how many you need. We only need 10 more to get them printed

BTW, I have nothing to do with the sales of these, I just want it to reach it's goal so I can get the ones I reserved

Just wondering if you guys have seen this: http://teespring.com/saveadirtythirty

I like the design, and have reserved a couple. And I though I would share it with the Zoners, maybe some of you would like to order one as well

It is from Poland...

Hmm not sure those are what I'm looking for. I've been thinking about 17" Alpina replica's, as i wont be able to afford genuine ones. I THINK i want to go in that direction instead of the 9x16 style...

I hope I've translated it all correctly, or that i at least ma...

Thanks JF008, I like 4 doors as well.
Standard mirrors are on my to-do list! I will post the the full list of things that needs to be fixed/changed and engine bay photos later on.

Thank you

Those are Lenzo BSX Gold.

Ohh and i should say that these are my "before" pictures. I have done very little to the car, other than putting on the wheels it came with. I have quite the list of things that I want to change...

I've had quite a couple of BMW's over the past 10 years, including two e30's. I diddnt really knew what I was doing (Frankly, I still dont lol), but I did manage to take apart an ETA motor completely and rebuild it with 206hp and 288nm, so I must have done something right :) But that rebuild really ...

Looks like a nice 4 door

M52 and ZF or not, the wiring to the reverse light switch should be the same (although in the original M52 installation it was part of the engine loom). AFAIK, the switches themselves are identical, apart from the later one has a 'proper' two pin socket on it, rather than the crude 'lucar' spades o...

Thanks a bunch guys, I highly appreciate your info an patience with me

I will add a wire between the switch and the white plug at my gear stick, and not worry about the wire thats already coming from the switch.

Dang I feel stupid now! I sorta forgot that I dont have an M20 motor and Getrag gearbox installed in my car :o: So I've been searching the wrong place for the switch, AND ordered a new switch for a Getrag box, that I cant use at all... :-x The saga continues... http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?nam...

Can someone tell me where the wire from the reverse switch on a ZF gearbox connects to the harness? (m52 swap with gearbox) I can see the wire connected to the switch but it goes up over the gearbox so I cant see where ends. My problem is that the wire does not show up in at the gear stick inside th...

I know for a fact that there is more of both wires and rust

Thanks for your opinion Jf008

Yesterday: Took the center console out to make sure there wasnt a reverse light wire hiding anywhere, just to find out that there isnt a reverse switch installed at all :roll: Anyway, got the car cleaned a place where the vacuum cleaner rarely comes around. Also removed all that crap audio-wiring th...

Thanks for all you comments, it all went fine and now I know how to do it next time. But it really isnt comfy lying under the car and working, I envy those with a lift

Oh well there was a reason why the wire wasnt inside the car: There is no switch installed!
Ordered one and hope to have it installed next week.
Thanks a bunch for your help guys

Thanks guys, I just needed to be sure.
Went all in to make sure I would be ok if something went wrong:

Brian: You mean this point, right?

I just need to be 100% sure that this is a correct place to put jack stands: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y127/danielbmw/IMG_8822.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y127/danielbmw/IMG_8824.jpg It's ok, you can laugh at me, but I really dont want to ruin my new E30, and I have never jacked up a...

The guy I bought it from knew nothing about it, Mmmm, convenient! What are the last seven digits of the VIN? Brian: Maybe i should have been a tad more clear: He knew nothing about the engine swap and how it was made. He had all the papers on the car, including the sales paper from when he bought i...

Yep thats the one, thanks a lot for the picture and info. The reverse light does turn on when I short the pins.
No wire is coming up from underneath the car, so I will have to check if there even is a switch installed. Cant do this today though, but should be able to tomorrow.
I will return

"Resident expert", I like the sound of that :cool: Problem is that I know very little about this car. I'm the second owner of it, after is had the engine swapped. The guy I bought it from knew nothing about it, so I have to find out everything myself. I dont even know what gearbox was used 8O But al...

Ok, I found the connector for the reverse light, and when I short the pins the light turns on. BUT...! Where on earth is this suppose to be connected? When I found it it was just laying down there, and now I've taken apart half the car to find where it's supposed to be connected, and havent found a ...

It's a manual.
Nope haven checked yet, but i will first thing tomorrow. I was just wondering if the two light shared something, because then that would be the first place I would look.

Does these two light have anything in common? Like the same fuse or something like that? It's the only two lights that isnt working on my 89 325, and I am wondering if there could be a connection between both of them failing, or if it's just random that both are out at the same time?

Started to make a to-do list for my new E30... It's already a lot longer than I thought it would be
