E30 Zone

Hi guys I'm looking to get a new front spoiler/valance to run on my E30 track car. What are the best options? Looking for something that looks good but not ridiculously low that I'll smash it on the first kerb. Fairly flexible on options or if anyone has anything second hand that suits the bill (ide...

Bought anti-roll bar

Arrived next day. Very happy

Will use again

Hi guys Wanted to share some videos from the first Production BMW Championship race at Brands Hatch. They include my first lap in 4 different races. Check out race 2 in the wet and the final race reverse view! These were all taken with a GoPro HD fitted beneath the front and rear number plates. http...

Front indicators quite often don't work after an impact. The front indicators aren't particularly waterproof, and, although the holders don't corrode, the lamps do. The lamps have probably moved slightly in their holders because of the impact and are no longer making contact. I've replaced the fron...

If it's a race car then just unplug it from the connector behind the glovebox and forget about it. You've probably removed the central locking anyway :) Yes, central locking is removed - I will unplug the connector behind the glovebox, but is the wire live at either end? I suspect the green wire ha...

Everything appears to run fine now EXCEPT brake lights are on all the time, and the front indicators don't work (so the other indcators flash double speed). How could it all be related? Could the melted wire have caused this as some of the other wires are slightly damaged. Thanks again ian332isport!!

Fuse 19 also feeds power to the Interior light delay unit (mounts next to the central locking module) as well as the mirrors and the dual temp switch on the radiator (if fitted). I would say you probably had water ingress down by the central locking module which has somehow shorted across to the in...

That green wire provides a 12v feed from the ignition switch to the central locking control module pin 5. If you crash the car, there's an inertia switch inside the central locking module that closes and sends an 'unlock request' to unlock any of the doors on impacts of more than 6g. That green wir...

I've just checked and fuse 19 has blown. According to Haynes this is for electric mirrors.

My car is a track car and so there is no button for the electric mirrors.

Is this fuse used for anything else?

Does this fuse correlate to the picture of the green wire shown in the first post?

Thanks!

Inside the cabin

Thanks - any help would be appreciated

In the meantime, I'm going to disconnect it to see what happens

Hi guys I recently had a wire short on my car whilst driving along in the torrential rain. I lost all power, there was a lot of white smoke and the car wouldn't restart? The car now restarts but I need to know what caused it. I have traced it to a green wire which has melted all the plastic off. I h...

Slightly off topic but could someone tell me what size the nuts and bolts are for the front seat?

I'd like to add a pax seat in my track car but don't have the original bolts.

Thanks
Ianmeister

I'm just off J5 of the M20 btw

Wow thanks - that would be a great help! It happened at the weekend whilst driving in torrential rain. Yes, I've seen it because it's a track car and so all of the interior has been removed. It is a brown wire going from the fusebox and through the bulkhead. All the plastic has melted from the wire ...

Hi guys

Can anyone recommend a good mobile auto electrician in Kent who knows the E30? I've got a wire shorting out and the car won't start.

I'm hoping it won't be a huge job but I'm no electrician!

Thanks
Ianmeister

Hey guys

Does anyone know where I can get one of the plastic bolts that holds the windscreen washer fluid reservoir, I'm talking about the attachment to the top of the wheel arch (under the bonnet). Mine came off and the container was sliding about inside the engine bay!

Thanks

The gearknob was all good I hope?

All good thanks!!

Yep I do like the std BBS but there seem to be lots of knackered ones about.

If there are some good ones going I'm interested... No kerbing or dints. Will pay good money but need them for next weekend though.

What you got? PM me

Hi guys

I'm after some 15 inch 7J wheels for track days and the PBMW Championship. Looking to spend Ãƒ”šÃ‚£200-300 for a set of 4 new ones.

Quite like the idea of the ATS cup. Any other suggestions, and sources?!

Does anyone have any other ideas? Indicators/Hazards - I've checked the fuses, cleaned the hazard switch and checked the relay (by shorting it) and still no indicators or hazards with the hazard switch lit (but not flashing) when pressed. Tacho - Checked fuses. Couldn't find C101 connector?? Where w...

s. Don't have another relay to try at the moment. Short together the green/yellow and the green/purple wires at the "relay" socket, and turn the ignition on. What does this do? Thank you for your prompt reply. Shorted the wires above and nothing changes, no indicators, no hazards, hazard light stay...

Well I've just removed and cleaned the hazard switch and no change - light stays on when turned on, no hazards or indicators. Don't have another relay to try at the moment.

Am now looking into the faulty tacho...

Where are the hazards/indicators and tacho earthed?

Thanks again

Great thank you. I guess a new "relay" then for the indicators.

I've checked the fuses so maybe the c101 connector for the tacho...

Are the two definitely unrelated? And not connected to disconnecting the battery to recharge it?

I have an e30 1988 320i which I use as a track car I started it up for the first time in a while today and the battery needed a charge, which I did. However, now neither the tacho or the indicators work. I've checked the fuses for the tacho and all is fine. With regard the indicators, there are no l...
