My spare is a 14” bottletop and I have 15” basketweaves fitted. Would you guys get a proper 15” spare?

I had a few messages with the guy who does these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Velours-floor-car-mats-suitable-for-BMW-E34-5-series-M5-SPORT-FROM-BAVARIA/112614279046 They look very similar to the original ones in my chromie (without the multi coloured stitching) He claimed not to have a pattern for ...

For the first time in 4 years of owning it my prefacelift 325 cab has failed. On the motorway yesterday at 70 and it died, the Rev counter fell to zero like a stone. On the hard shoulder it started up fine. Accelerated away and the Rev counter got to around 3k but didn’t go any higher despite speed ...

Hi, the key turns, but there is no resistance and the boot now won’t open. Is there a way to resolve this? Cars at the garage for an MOT so any help I can pass on would be appreciated.

I was flicking through the pages in the supermarket and it said the E30’s steering was light and precise. The last word I’d use to describe my steering is ”˜light’. If I was being kind I would say it is weighted.

So what do the members of this fine parish have to say?p on this subject?

Did you move it in the end?

Looks good. Was it a genuine body kit?

There are some free sites out there that do this. Just need to register on the forum to request the code.

G4 technics is meant to be good. I just wash and dry the plastic, sometimes warming with a hairdryer and then apply in layers. Last one I used was a in can from a supermarket, before that it was Poorboys trim restorer.

Did you come all this way to see one lol

Plenty in Scotland pal!

The seller is Kieren Crawford and was on the E30 Cars and Parts Facebook group. He also posted on VW pages, as he has a red Polo, as well as alloy wheel trading pages. Can't speak for the other sets of wheels and car he was selling, but for the bottletops he took the money and went silent. Then dele...

Looking to get some bottletops collected that I've paid for. My spidey sense is telling me the seller is a chancer but I'm the other end of the country. Happy to pay petrol / postage etc. but just need some help.

Cheers

Hi,

Does anyone have a copy they can photocopy or snap on their phone?

Mines is the Woodstock rather than Memphis.

Cheers

Thanks It was more about removing the consoles themselves. Does the whole dash have to be removed?

What is the technique for replacing the bulbs behind the heaters? I don't know how to take it apart to check.

When I see pictures of these, some look to have the word Fundo on them. Were they a genuine manufacturer of the wheels? Were they ever made as replicas?

TIA

Thanks guys. I'll check out the links and if it's a non-starter ill just have to find a clever mannie to fix it for me.

Hi all,

The driver's back rest in my cabriolet doesn't hold in position and keeps reverting back to reclined angle that's not comfortable for me.

Presumably the mechanism needs sorting, but I'm not overly hands on. Is this something I can fix myself, or has anyone got a write-up for dummies?

Thanks

Wow. Like a good vacuum cleaner, that sucks and it blows.

Bootiful. Any interior shots? Really dig the colour.

What was the seat repair BTW?

Cheaper on t'internet if you persevere. Still costly though.

Hehe. What is the part number for the full kit- do you know?

Wow! So does that mean you can't buy the complete deflector now?

Last time I enquired they were over £300 but still available believe it or not! 8O Ill ask again tomorrow for a laugh! :thumb: I'm sure I read on here that they were NLA :? There are one's on eBay for £250 so a brand new genuine one for another £50-100 is not bad at all. From what I remember it was...

Nice one. What is the typical cost of the BMW ones? Presumably long since discontinued...?

And are these after market ones? As an aside I find the car noisey with the roof up any way. Just a noisey cabin when on motorways. Unless it's blaring while at speed you can't hear the music, but then it' becomes an uncomfortable listen and want to turn if off. Not sure if it's me, or if the roof i...

Not sure of the first one, but I remember some old codger in the street taking his pal home from the pub at nights. Maybe mid to late 90s. I just remember that it was a rare sight even then but thought it still looked good. Would have been a facelift coupe in silver with all the body kits. In the en...

Already wishing it was summer so I can get out in the vert again and one of these is on my list. I see there are some on fleabay but no idea if they are any good.

Does anyone have any experiences to share in buying or using?

Cheers

Ha! Nice one

Evening campers

I've seen two types on the net. But are they actually different things? One is a hex with a handle, the other just a solid plastic hex.

Cheers

Fantastic condition - congratulations

Cheers. Had tried that one but the page doesn't load fully for me. Might need to fire up the desktop. Do you get the option to save as pdf?

I can't find the site which allows you to save the build info as a PDF. In my mind it was a BMW site. Does anyone know the one?

Cheers

I've gone for a new pioneer as it really needed a cd player and I love Dab radio. Plus it has multicoloured display which I can make all orange to match the interior electrics.

Sure I can remember under dash knee roll. Easier than some obscure Latin/medical/dinosaur name. Are the variations related to model/year?

Thanks for the link zd3bx very helpful.
