E30 Zone

Only other car i've aimed to someday own is my dads E36 so theres a lot of sentimental value in it. I just dont want to ruin E30. I know some people will be thinking is he stupid look at the power gains.. but im talking about the weight up front and stuff..

Ok so recently me and my dad had a horrible accident taking his E36 M3 on a run out for the first time this year.. the car was a true Sunday car, a red convertible that never saw the rain. It had only done 90k and it was mint. Unfortunately we got cut up on exiting the motorway and forced towards th...

people seem to always ask me if its a 320 because theres no 325i badge on the back... i'm going to buy the badge..
Oh and the other thing that annoys me is i brought Ronal LS and i should have got OEM BBS...

Had a similar issue having the same mindset about my car (89 Se 325i 2 door) I think unless its a stupidly low miler then as long as your tasteful with your modifications you will be ok. As for the M42 swap, one its you driving and you will appreciate it fully and two lets put it this way i cant see...

Magpie i have no idea what im looking at with chips i just know i don't want an Ebay one which someone on the zone Facebook tried to recommend... Im not looking to get cheap and cheerful crap parts for the car id rather take my time and buy the correct things, as i say i know there are plenty of mor...

so i should ask speed touch for the BBR starchip copy? As i say im no after crazy figures but just wanted squeeze a little more out of it. Also i know you mentioned displacement to sort first, am i correct in thinking the best route for that is M20b20 con rods, M50b28 crank and my m20b25i pistons?? ...

car dynos at EFI at 166bhp im not looking for a number i've had the car 2 and a half years and ive sorted almost all the niggles so the car is as close to 100% as it will ever be, i want the car to have that OEM+ feel i could easily strip, turbo and coilovers but i want that almost stock intententio...

So i've been looking at squeezing a bit more out of my engine (M20b25) i'm not unrealistic, i'm not looking for stupid unrealistic figures i know that costs silly money. Now btb manifolds seem pricey and rare but hottuning offer a TA Technix 6 branch stainless â‚¬242 which is suspiciously cheap... ....

So I've been driving my car for about a year and a half. I love it. Its a 1989 325i SE. So far its body has been restored and painted, fixed a few age related niggles, put some Ronal LS wheels on it with some Bridgestone Potenza rubber and now im currently fitting Koni shocks with H&R sport springs....

So from what i've read the b8s were always the number one choice.. but nobody ever has a bad word to say about the konis always wondered why people always went with B8s over konis for with H&R. So i'm beginning to think koni with H&R sport are a the combination i want and that way i get some level a...

Ive heard that Bilstien make the H&R shocks, not sure what they're equivalent to in term of B8 and B4 though not sure what springs rates they are either to be honest.

and i've already decided what anti roll bars to get but its the shock and springs that have me stuck haha

this is the rates table im talking about. Spring---------------------Front(lb/in.)-------------Rear(lb/in.) Stock 325i*-----------------------106------------------------245 Stock 325is*----------------------118------------------------265 Stock 325ix*----------------------106------------------------3...

So i have been doing a bit of reading and researching trying to get the right shock and spring combination for my car, i want that age old problem where i want handling, comfort and to lower the car... Its my daily driver, i want it to cope with spirited drives but not be uncomfortable when i'm just...

what about running 195/50/15 on OEM BBS ? the tyre choice seems miles better pilot sport 3s are available then.

know how they respond to track or fast road ?

So i'm getting some ronal LS wheels soon wondering what rubber to put on them. The tyres are for road use daily driving but occasional track days, so i don't want cheap and cheerful but i don't really want to pay more than £100 per wheel. so would a good premium tyre hold up to what i want and need ...

definitely yeah a manchester meet is needed do it in the summer and my car will be more finnished haha (getting painted in the new year)

so i cant find a decent image hosting site for forums might have to set up a flickr (image shack trial ended) but anyway Tarrox pads callipers rebuilt and the whole calliper should have been fully painted but ran out of time with needing the car on the road. i need to find speakers for the front of ...

haha i viewed it the day after it came up on carandclassic.co.uk was meant to collect it 2 days later it took me 2 weeks i thought i wasn't getting it a couple of times but persistence paid off i suppose. Glad some people appreciate the effort it took haha.

im from urmston kieran, thanks for the compliments i wan to keep it looking as period as possible but still with comfort and style. i thought everyone preferred weaves over bottle tops you know obviously not hahaif i keep them ill need spacers i think. Ordered 2 focal pc130 speakers so i can test fi...

Kieran some days i wake up liking bottle tops and sometimes i think they're just too small, shame they weren't a 15 or wider. Took allot of negotiating to get the car off Ryan don't think he wanted to let it go. so just grabbed some of the photos off my camera for a "work so far" the engine bay way ...

Yeah the guy who had it before me was called ryan haha you know him?

so finally acquired the dream car BMW e30 325i 2 door. So i thought id get one before they rocket and i can clean it up. The body work its straight apart from the boot, theres a some minor rust patches and it has 120k on the clock. needs a bit of TLC and tightening up a bit, already started but here...
