Hi,

In need of a nearside pre-facelift taillight. Must be immaculate so pictures will be needed.

Cheers,
Dave

These guys seem to have a good reputation, and do a heck of a lot of work with BMWs, only in Tamworth to.

That’s the one Dan.
The wire contact and earth to the car seem fine, acts more like when you open the door the tab is too stiff and doesn’t move enough to complete the circuit. Looks clean and I’ve lubricated them but no improvement.

Potentially going.

Hi,

Would you consider selling the parcel shelf speak covers separately?

Hi,

Is anyone aware of any methods to repair/refurbish the interior light door switches?
Mine are very temperamental and would rather not be forking out for new ones at £77 + VAT.

Cheers,
Dave

Hi,

I’m after a couple of the metal clips/hooks that run along the top of the rear door cards, see pic.

Cheers,
Dave

BMW car club UK can give valuations for agreed value.

Would they be much use at valuing a modified car?

What is it?

Nice looking motor, do have a soft spot for an iS. If you want to liven it up a little without going crazy, get a lightweight flywheel in there, fit a Z3 or E46 Clubsport steering rack and maybe get a remap. For the gearshift, have you gone for a standard E30 shifter now? There's plenty of short shi...

No way you should be needing to fit smaller tyres on a 30mm drop, that's assuming you're talking about 205/55/15s.

Very nice, though I have a soft spot for a Polaris chromie. Yours must be one of the last of the first gen pre-facelifts.
Any pics of the interior? Wish I’d kept hold of my blue cloth interior in the hope I could’ve found some matching sports seats!

I was thinking I could use it in a way to act as a volume control rather than a fader. I only have a BT receiver behind the dash, no HU, which uses RCA’s to feed a couple of amps, I have a volume controller (bottom left, below the HVAC), but want to try getting something into an OEM switch position....

Hi All,

Does anyone know how the fader switch pinouts (A1, A2, S1, S2, E1, E2) correspond to the plug (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)? I have a switch, but no plug.

Cheers

RIP Tony,

His Bronzit E30 was quite a thing back in the day.

As catalytic converters weren't a requirement in the UK until 1992 I doubt many, if any, UK E30s had them fitted here.

But by all accounts, cats do impact performance as they slow down the rate exhaust gases can escape. If you don't need to fit one I wouldn't bother.

No such thing as OEM panels any more. BMW farm out the work to outside companies and the fit is likely to be as dodgy as anything else but with the BMW £££ premium.

This, and from personal experience this was the case over 15 years ago for wings.

Don't suppose you've got a spare Western Counties one?

Hi,

I'm after a steering wheel hub/boss kit to fit a Raid steering wheel to my E30, pretty sure it's the same pattern as a Momo.
Tried a cheap one off eBay and needless to say, the casting was crap and it didn't fit the column.

Cheers,
Dave

Parts were delivered this morning, think that’s the fastest I’ve ever had anything from BMW Germany.

I would expect to see them late next week.

I've got quite a few caps knocking around with missing tabs, would be good to get them safe to use again.

Cheers Jon. Any idea how long things are taking to arrive from Germany at the moment?

Cheers, just sent payment via Paypal.

Problem with a lot of the fold out screens is they foul the indicator stork.

Many many years ago when I had a screen in an E30 I had to use a LHD control panel to avoid the indicator stork.

Yep, what Clarko said is correct. Most of them were bought up by just a couple of individuals.

There was a Zoner that made a pretty effective repair with his caps, I'll see if I can find the thread for you.

Does anyone know if you can still get the prefacelift mushroom version?

No worries, how much did they end up costing?

Cheers, I'll try and find some time and motivation to strip the door down and give it a proper investigation. Hopefully does just need a clean and lube.

Hi Kedge,

Did the terminals you bought on ebay work?

Looking to source some of these terminals myself and that seems like the best option if they did!

Thanks,

Nah, they were miles out, and I've not looked into this since. Think the only way to buy a small amount is cough up the BMW price.

Hi, My nearside central locking actuator seems to keep trying to operate after turning the key to unlock the car (can't remember if it does it on locking), it makes a loud buzzing type noise for a second or two. Which is more likely to be the culprit, the actuator itself or the central locking relay...

Unfortunately not, really don't want to fit a used trim with the rest being brand new

Don’t blame you, I’ve still got a few old bits of trim kicking about and they do look crap compared to what’s on the car.
