E30 Zone

I Have had mine for a few years, its off the road at the moment, i have a e46 for the daily stuff now. Mine is a SA built one, we didnt get the e30 convertible here so BMW SA bought knock-down kits and put them together here for the SA market. So mine is a facelift baur 325i (1990 year). Roof bits c...

I stand under correction, but i believe it does.Whic box do you have? Switchable or non Switchable?
Have you checked your Gearbox's oil level? This is a serviceable part, it could just need some fresh oil.

Just my 2 cents, not much you can do with the 316i in terms of power. If i were you i would look at suspension mods and weight saving to get a little more out of the car, then maybe an exhaust and some nice 15 inch rims. Then enjoy the car for what it is.

Yes it is.

I have a baur e30. In south africa it was the only option when it came to a convertible.
Our cars where not built by Baur though, they were imported as knock down kits and built at the BMW factory. So is my car considered a Baur??
My car is a 1990 325i Auto.

i personally have run 17 inch, they look great, ride is not too bad.
can do 18" as well.

hi

nothing looks broken...

..not sure if this is related, or it can be totally unrelated, but my OBC back light went out at the same time my blower stopped working..

Update. Removed the motor, lubed the motor up. http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/9171/img3031s.jpg Put it back in FYI: when putting the motor back in, it only goes in one way, and the metal clip is a PITA to get on. http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/2176/img3032h.jpg i removed the resistor pack, s...

hmm, i got a funny feeling my resistor pack could be the issue.
My car is a Facelift, Aircon equipped model.
do i replace the resistor pack? can i get this part from the dealers?
any body got a part number...

thanks

thanks for the help . i will give it another go and report back

thanks for the advice. so i had a look and noticed that he fins are attached at a point (see pic) http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/1491/img3022yf.th.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us i put the switch on 4 and the blower started spinning, i liberally sprayed the area on both sides. but still no luck :(...

hi all thought i would hijack this tread instead of starting a new one. i have the same issue with my blower. nothing on 1, 2, or 3, but once on 4 it starts hard and fast. switch back to 3,2,or1 and nothing, back to 4 and its on again. i have checked Fuse 17, not blown so i thought i would have a lo...

Hi, yes the offset (et20 or et25) denotes how far out the wheel sits from the hub. The e30 generally needs a lower et. So if i were you i would take the 15x7J et25 set of wheels. Higher offsets are usually meant for front wheel drive cars, you will see VW’s with et35 15 inch wheels etc. The other re...

sorry dont want to be a dumbass, but i dont see the link between the plug and the aircon fan, how does it work?

thanks,but, electric fan for what.....
I had a quick look and i see only 2 fans, the one above ( in the pic) turns as soon as i switch on the car, and the other fan i can see is in the front of the car , which switchs on when i put on the aircon.

Hi I was having a look at my cars engine, and noticed that there is a brass looking plug on the drivers side of the radiator with three wires plugged in. The plastic plug is very brittle. My car is a 1990 325i Automatic with Aircon. Questions: 1: what is this for? 2: does BMW still sell the plastic ...

Hell Yeah

I voted Baur, because i own one.
Interesting titbit about the baur body style is that it is the lightest of the e30 shells.

Sorry for not replying sooner, but thanks for the advice, i will check the tension on the belt and i also think its time to do a PS steering fluid renew. I just need to troll the zone looking for write up on how to do it.

nah i use the force.

quick update, been driving the car for a while now. Car has been behaving, not over heating etc. But I had to make a u turn in a tight street and turned the steering wheel to full lock to make the turn and I heard the car squeal like a PIG, i assume it has to do with the power steering belt, only ma...

How about colour coding the centers of the Schnitzers granite as well?!? i would.

Quick update, i spent the better part of Saturday replacing the belts on my car. Was very happy and satisfied when i started her up and drove her around and she didn’t over heat!! Thanks to everyone who helped. I must say moving the alternator, steering and aircon units was a bit fiddly but i manage...

Thanks Willnz! You are my hero for 2009!! This morning i called the dealers but they do not have any stock, i ended up at a local part shop and got the following Goodyear Gatorback belts for the e30. 1x Alternator Belt 1x Power steering Belt 1x Aircon belt i figured i would get all the belts as i di...

Road Hazard - it happened less than 500m away from home, so just limped her home, got home before she started overheating. I had a look this morning, and i can confirm what has been said, the alternator belt decided to murder itself and it seems to have knocked the other belt! It was squealing occas...

Is there any guides to replacing these belts on the zone?

On the way home i did go over some speed bumps!? maybe i popped one of the belts off?
i need to check this out in the morning, as it dark out here.

Balls!!!

which belt do you think it is?
does the e30 m20b25 engine have a single belt that runs between the water pump, altenator, power steering rack?!

Hi All Hope you can point me the right direction. Tonight i was driving my car home a little hard, and then i noticed all the warning lights on the dash were ON, the steering had become hard, and the engine temp guage was climbing! what did i break? Summary: 1. driveing home fast 2. all dash warning...

Depends on who and how they did the re-drilling. i have seen some professional work where the centre was welded up and then re drilled, and then i saw the type where they just re-drilled without welding.

what is your budget?
