Thank you guys, all sorted!

How do we find the part number and type of fuel sender unit in our 1984 E30 - it is an earlier model with the fuel pump external to the tank in front of the wheel arch

thanks for the reply, how do you learn about all this?

I think i am doing a lot of reading but obviously not enough.

I think that i am going to pass it over to quarry to sort out for me. the lads there are decent and although it will cost i dont think this is a job for me.

thanks again!

using everything from the 323. so gearbox and dif. And the car is a 316i saloon h reg, I understand i will have to upgrade brakes and suspension. this needs to be done anyway as the car has been full stripped back and welded up and painted. when doing this we found most of the bushed and brake lines...

Just got my hands on a 2001 3 series 323ci 2.5. Any information on past threads or has anyone got any experience putting one of these in a e30? Any advice on what else i will need? contemplating sending both cars to quarry motors and letting the lads there do it but labour costs are looking at aroun...

did you fit a turbo in the end? its something i would like to do myself

Two problems with this. Your car doesn't have a cam shaft sensor, and there is no wiring that could possibly be rubbed through by the cam belt! A more likely, and a very common fault, is that your crankshaft sensor wiring has been damaged by the fan belt (or more likely the water pump pulley, drive...

Thanks for all the replies guys! Got it into quarry. Turns out it wasn't anything to do with my cross polarity jump start. The cam shaft sensor had been shorted out due to the cable coming loose and the cam belt Had burnt through the insulation and was causing miss reading and shorting it out. It ha...

is there a possibility that it ran so low on fuel that there is some shit stuck in the system? i tested the amps across the fuse connections for the fuel pump and it was drawing 5amp which i understand to be correct?

could there be some dirt potentially hampering it.

thanks

All the plugs where checked. Also when I asked them they hadn't dosconected anything either. The car had started that morning but the fuel was low and the battery went flat. The battery voltage wasn't checked but the aa guy had his battery pack connected for an hour and we tried running with that bu...

Every time we put the throttle on it cuts out as well. When it is ideling the car sounds terrible like its missing.

No the car hasn't left as I was due to pick it up this morning. We knew the battery was flat and I made the mistake of thinking brown was positive (I am an electrician) when we tried to jump it. . The car had been driven in and out of the garage most days and my friend had given it a decent run in t...

My E30 316 touring has just come out of the body shop it was running Thursday fine. It ran low on fuel and also the battery had gone flat. Upon starting earlier today the battery drained instantly. (note I added 2 gallons of fuel just to make sure there was plenty in) Stupidly I tried to jump start ...

Right cheers guys.... my car does for some reason has the american grill, but no I am from the uk! How strange! There is a difference between the brows and a euro grill, the brows are not for me , a little too much, however I do like euro grill ( just picked one up of a friend breaking an e30) Thank...

I keep seeing a lot of e30's with an extra lip to the top of the grille at either side of the kidneys. I understand these are known as euro grille's.

Could someone please point me in the right direction to purchasing a set??

preferably in this country.

many thanks

I am wanting to do something fun/daft with one of my e30s with a budget of around £4000 eg. m50 conversion or something alike I am aware there will be articles on here saying whats good to put it (bmw and non bmw) however i am struggling to find these. Also is anyone aware of any companies that woul...

Scanned a few previous post and not really found a satisfying answer....

I would like to know if anyone has any fixed measurements or has done this before

I am going to make a sub box to fit in the ski hatch in the rear of my 316i touring

Thanks

Just had the car checked by a E30 enthusiast and the seat is fine. It has full height adjustment motion and is level with the passenger seat (which I also touch the roof in) However my friend is 6ft2 he sits in the car with half an inch clearance, I must have a really long body and or big head. Is t...

Hi can I ask if you have the back of your seat upright??

I can not sit at an angle due to a pelvis injury

Thanks jordan

I will double check again but it seems odd that both passenger and drivers seat is the same.

The drivers seat is a spare from an old E30 i took apart.is there something i can do to set it to a minimum before i put it on, then when i put it on lower it further with the leaver?

Yes its fully down, i also checked the passenger side and its the same there.

I have a saloon that does not have a sunroof and i have no problems in this.

I understand the roof is slightly lower for the sunroof but there must be some way around this?

Hi guys, I am new to this game... just purchased an E30 316i tourer, a little under powered i know but an immaculate car. The problem is my head is touching the roof with the seat fully down when i am in my upright sitting position. Does anybody know a way around this?? *I AM 6FT I have a long drive...
