Central Scotland area. Highly recommended.

Did that include seals or just the fabric and fitting ?

Snap !
Is your valance smooth or does it have the "hammerite" look stoneguard finish ?

Ah ha...making a bitbmore sense now. Problem is my front valance has a lot of rust at the edges and was going to replace. Will a standard pre face lift valance accept the chin spolier. Also noticed my valance is smooth wheras others have the factory stone guard finish ?

Is my car a pre face lift chromie and is the front lip spoiler standard or different. Where the body coloured mirrors and rear spoiler an option ? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/largepic.asp?i=3748144&noPics=9&imgsrv=1¤t=1&make=BMW&model=E303SERIES%E2%84%A2=0 I used to have a cab and it had ...

Thanks. Was thinking of going down that route but hard to find one in blue. Also have to trust the sellers description, unless I am lucky and find one local !

Recommendations for replacement hood for pre facelift cab please. Blue hood required. Can find plenty of options via google but dont want a naff one so advice most welcomed please. Ta

Thanks. Off to look at the car tomorrow. Got the cash ready so will hopefully be buying it as long as its as described /pictured !!!

Ok thanks. I guess colur match for leather will be tricky....need dark blue leather !

More info please...is the structural support already there inside the rear seat backrest or do i need to replce the backrest ?

Used to have a 325 cab and it had headrests on the rear seats. Looking at buying another cab as i miss it and the one in question doesnt have headrests ( nor does it have holes to put them in so they are not missing). Were they an option ? Can they be retro fitted ? ...thinking i could get hold of t...

I see...thanks ! Would love to know where it is now

Erm ? Nt sure what this is tellong me other than what I know already ? Sorry...am i missing something ?

Regretting selling my chromie cab in light blue with blue hood 3 yrs ago and wondering if its ended up being owned by anyone on here...reg number RIW 1346
Did a google and fund this from 2010 after i sold it.....

drivers bolster is ...well...lets say you can tell its 20yrs old. It is still firm and where it should be (oo er missus!) but the leather is starting to wear. I plan to clean up the seats and refurb them a little to make them look much better.

cheers guys .
not sure how to post pics on here so uploaded them to my own website. lots of pics plus, at the bottom of the page, a link to my other E30 - track car in lime green !

just looked - its glacier blue with natural leather

not got any recent pics at the moment. will take some tomorrow in the daylight. thanks .

I am thinking of selling my cab but not sure how to place a sensible value on it. any ideas ? Its a 1990 325i cab in pale metalic blue with cream leather. manual. 96k miles with full service history. 12 months MOT (got this yesterday - all it needed was headlight realignement). Car is the chrome bum...

excellent. cheers. helpful, polite, kept in touch via zone and text. i came from miles away to collect a gearbox and he arranged for me to meet him at his work place to collect. even helped me out looking for bits afterwards. charged a very fiar price for the box as well !!

update : aparently there is such a thing as getrag 242. its very similar to the 262 for the "user" but is internally different. the guy at "all gears" (thanks to shorty73 for the link..bmw-gearboxes.co.uk) was really helpful and gave me lots of advice. think i will go for the tech1 sport box as a " ...

car is a 325
box is dogleg. markings imply it is a getrag 242 but i dont think this exists. i wonder if is a getrag 262 (dog leg fited to the 323 and the guy who took down the markings for me whilst it was up on his ramps made a mistake / couldnt read the numbers ?).

bump ?

the continuing sage of my box. before i decide to change it woudl be good to work out shat i currently have. all i know is that its a dogleg, 5 speed and the following markings appear on it GETRAG 242 029 101 9.1 225 DIN 158 any ideas ?? i know a standard 5 speed box is a getrag 260 so does this men...

i have a 325 with an LSD. i have no idea what the ratio of the diff is though. i will try and find out. the dogleg is a pain in the arse as its hard to remember what gear you are in. i just want to get the ratios right. i cant work out what ratios i have got so its hard to decide whether to go for a...

mmm. food for thought. i guess my car is different due to the LSD - i have no idea of the diff ratio. i will try and see if i can see any markings on the casing. if i get a 320 box and propshaft will it fit my diff - ie is the back end of the prop shaft the same ?

sorry if this is a silly question - what practical advantage will i notice with the close ratio box. bearing in mind the torque of the 6 pot engine is it necessary to have close ratio. i am not racing - just track day fun. changing the propshaft sounds like a whol load of hassle to me - will it fit ...

i have a dogleg box in my track car. its making funny whirring noises and i am told the bearings are on their way out. is it worth gettting a recon done or shoudl i ditch the box and replace with a second hand one. I am not too fussed about getting a dogleg box - i can pick up a secondhand 325 box r...

oze30 - what are you saying ? are you asking if my box is a sport close ratio box or are you suggesting this might be the best option for me ?

yeah it has been "used " / "abused" . the engine let go big time last year at croft. "days of thunder" white cloud of smoke moment. one of the pistons ended up being a small ball of metal inside the cylinder. looked like solidified lava !!! i dare say that was a product of its previous life !!! i pu...

i think i saw you on the roads around lincoln at the end of the day. probably around 5.45ish. your car is pretty distinctive !!! i noticed mainly because i drive an equally lurid coloured E30 - its the flourescent green/yellow equivalent of your orange !! (www.greenbmw.co.uk). i am at beford on the ...

i am told that if the whiring noise stops when you dip the clutch its the box and if the whiring noise stops when you lift the clutch its the clutch release bearing. the guy i use is a BMW specialist with years of experience working for the main dealer so i trust his judgement. did a track day yeste...

its making a whiring noise which stops when you dip the clutch. apparently its a sign of the main bearing on its way out ???? how much will a recon cost me ??
dont want to change the diff as its an LSD and seams to be ok.
