Hi All. I'm after buying some nice fat deep-dish alloys for my 325i sport. Just after some opinions as to which ones look best and as to where i can buy some from. Some pictures would be great also if anyone has any available.

All the best,
Chris

i'd suggest this also... take the filler strip out and get a sucker or kitchen sink plunger and gently pull out the top corner of the windscreen. It shouldn't crack unless you have a few good size stone chips on it.

Chris

plug gaps could possibly be an issue ?

I too have a whine consistent with road speed... i have had the diff oil changed and it is still the same, so i might look at getting the prop bearing changed ! never thought of that one. Are they difficult / expensive to change ?

Hi. I am in the middle of changing my standard BMW plug leads on my 325i sport for Splitfire performance leads... but i notice that my standard leads have a loop round one of them that has a wire going back to the module where the diagnostic/service reset plug goes to... can anyone shed any light on...

Can anyone recommend the best spark plugs to get for my 1988 325i sport please ? Just bought some nice split fire leads and want some decent plugs to go with them.

Chris

Thanks for the info... i remember doing that when trying to pull a materess off a bed...

Cheers,

Chris

Can anyone tell me how the gear knob comes off my E30 325 sport 1988

Chris

ok, thanks guys.

Chris

Hi All. Can anyone tell me what the code button is for on my on board computer...? i don't have the owners manual to look it up.

Thanks,
Chris

Great looking car mate, but i too preferred the silver alloys... they look really good on your car... sits real nice on them.

I think the rims look spot on ! are they Ronal turbos, but without the writing...?

Mate, do you hear us saying your cars look crap un-tinted ? NO. I tinted the back windows on my E34 to keep the heat/sun out, not because I want it to look good, infact I think it looks shite, but I dont care about the car, its just a workhorse. If I wanted to do it tastefully id get some rear blin...

Mate, do you hear us saying your cars look crap un-tinted ? NO. as it was said, everyone has their own tastes and opinions. Most of my customers have their cars tinted for sun protection for their kids, or to keep the things they are carrying in the back out of sight, so it's not always because some...

yes yes, d'ya get me dan... brrrrutt brrrrutt. each to their own.

Hi Guys... i want to see if my 1988 e30 sport has a perfoemance chip installed. can anyone tell me where the ecu is located that i need to look in, and also if it doesn't have a performance chip, which is the best one to get.

Many thanks,
Chris

well, everyone has their own opinion i suppose

so you're saying the new range rover sports and m3 / m5 bmw look council...? interesting

I always spray a fine mist of water where the sticker / vinyl will be applied, and then you can get all the air bubbles out with a plastic card... if you choose to do it this way, use a heat gun to GENTLY heat the sticker on before removing the application layer.

I would recommend around a 20% film on the rear 3 (allows 20% of light through) - so this would be classed as a dark smoke. On the rear doors i would recommend a 35% tint, and then keep your fronts the standard factory green tint, or if you want to try your luck with the law, go for a 70% tint on to...

Thanks for your replies... what are the symptoms of a diff problem ?

Chris

Hi All.... im back after 3 years with another E30 325i Sport. It's a 1988 car with 190'000 on the clock with full history. I noticed when driving that there is a very slight whine from the LSD... is there any way of putting this right, and is it going to damage it driving it ? it is not very noticea...

Has anyone had any problems with wheels catching on the front wings ? on my 1989 325i i have 17" alpina reps with 205/40/17 tyres. The car has had a 60/40 spax kit fitted. It occasionally catches the lip on the front wings when turning and hitting a slight bump at the same time. I am putting two new...

do you reckon there is any chance of maybe skimming the wheel slightly to bring them in a bit ?

I'm based in gloucester. need adviceon tints, give us a shout.

just fitted 60/40 spax adjustables all round on my 325i... it has 17" alpina reps with 205/40/17 tyres. on full lock it tears the paint off the small lip on the front arches. is this normal

Ones from BMW were Ãƒ”šÃ‚£127 each ! so my local body shop said he would get me a pair as they are a really good fit from the previous ones he's done. He is charging me Ãƒ”šÃ‚£200 for both fully sprayed up in silver. He is also rolling the lip for me as my car is lowered 60mil on the front, and on f...

You will definately need a pro to do the rear screen tint. The sides are quite simple. If you like you can call me on 07974 022 779 and i will talk you through it. Bit long winded to do on here.

Just ordered some new front wings for my 325i. Has anyone ever fitted any of these... ? if so, what are they like to fit ?

water level seems to always stay the same. it has a scorpion stainless system on it, but it is quite old i think. Thanks for all your replies

haven't had it pressure tested yet... what does that involve them doing ?

Does anyone get a lot of steaming from the exhaust ? i had the head replaced on my 325i aabou 2 years ago, there is no water in the oil, or oil in the water but it does chuck out a load of steam every time i drive it ! is this common ?

perished to the point i could see the floor through it

But just have a feel around. The drainage disk you are looking for is slightly smaller than i Compact disk i reckon. I cut the old one out and stuck some dynamat over where it should be then plasteres it in seam sealer all underneath.

I had a few bad leaks recently. The one in my boot was down to the drivers side rear inner arch, and a leaking heated rear window. I also had water in my footwells. Passenger side front was due to the jacking point, and drivers side rear was due to the drainage plate in the floorpan behind the drive...
