Hi all, I've got an OEM exhaust centre section for a 318is in the back of my garage if anybody needs one. I am guessing that these have been NLA from BMW for at least a decade. The outer skin has started to degrade a bit but it still feels very solid to me. It's located in London, SE26. Looking for ...

Still have this - now £50.

I put a Bosch 0 580 314 070 in my 318is. It wasn't hard to incorporate with the existing assembly. It was about £90 (albeit a few years ago).

I put a Bosch 0 580 314 070 in my 318is. I don't think it was a straight swap but it wasn't hard to arrange. It was about £90 (albeit a few years ago).

Thanks Rix!

Ok, I’ll take the cables.

PM sent.

Hi,

I'm sorry to say I've just today sent all the bushes to another member. I have only the handbrake cables remaining which I will reduce to £15 if you want them.

Hi,

Yes, still available. Let me see what the postage comes to putting them all together, it should drop the figure a bit. Alternatively I'll throw in the droplinks too for £60.

Wish I'd spotted this a bit earlier as I've a few bits you could've used. Don't suppose there's anything else in here you're after? I can deliver to Croydon.

Exhaust:

Having sold my car I'm now clearing out the odds and ends which were accrued over the years. Last thing remaining is: Original BMW 318is exhaust centre section. No O2 sensor boss. In reasonably good condition with some surface rust. NLA from BMW (or anywhere else, as far as I'm aware) - £50 (COLLECT...

Do you have a front seat belt buckle/latch available?Just one required, not the belt part itself. For a 1990 318is, but I imagine they may all be the same.

Any ideas where from?

Is it possible to get a replacement for just the antenna part of the electric aerial? i.e. without the whole drive mechanism.

With a new one?

Could also be the damper, replacing mine made a noticeable difference to ride height.

I had that when I attempted something similar many years ago. I gave up with it in the end, good luck finding a solution.

They are somewhat delicate but I think a screwdriver is fine if used appropriately, just don't be ham-fisted about it. As mentioned, I found it easy to move with a finger, it doesn't take huge force. Also seem to recall it's pretty normal to test them by briefly applying 12v, just don't leave it on ...

It should definitely move with a screwdriver levered correctly, I can do it with with my finger easily enough. Previously I've popped it in the opening that appears closed and rotate it, albeit less than 1cm of movement.

Failing that I'd try powering it up.

I seem to recall the signal to the ICV is just 12v PWM (i.e. rapidly switched on and off), and with mine I just applied a constant 12v to check it worked. When doing so I think it would slam open with a bit of vigour, it's not something you could miss. You can also use your finger/screwdriver to man...

Do they usually come as one bit or separate items? I've seen both but they normally tell you if it's just the carrier. Got mine from here a few years ago, Lemforder part and includes bearing: http://www.c3bmw.co.uk/StockItem.asp?categoryID=73&subcategoryID=0&productID=1246&oRef=-1§ion=2&Item=un...

On more than one occasion I've achieved over 500 miles from the 55l tank in my 318is, mostly motorway.

And did you do this to improve the handling and grip?

Ben
thats how they came on the car.

Maybe now would be a good opportunity to put some proper wheels/tyres on the car?

Mine was due to some split lugs where the 'hockey stick' trim attached around the rear side window, might be worth checking.

Did a lot of cutting up. Really appreciated the magic carpet ride, it corners like it's on snails.

Ps. I'm so sorry.

Just to annoy you, I've had over 500 miles out of a tank more than once in mine. It is boring.

It's the one thing on an E30 that you can guarantee needs adjustment after many years! Several heavily loaded joints, all of which will have worn slightly over the years, times the leverage ratio of the brake pedal equals a pedal which has dropped considerably from where it was when it left the fac...

The one you've ordered has a longer guarantee and a higher capacity. Should work well, but would be an unnecessary expense for me.

Back to adjusting the cross link - it goes from a bell crank at the top of the brake pedal, across the car behind the heater box, to another bell crank behind the RH side of the glovebox. It has a normal thread on one end and a reverse thread on the other, so turning it changes its length. Adjust i...

Is it possible to remove and refit a good condition control arm bush from one arm to another?
