Or you could be really smart and buy an M3 a later spec like mine came with 215bhp and they dont seem to go down in value it makes you smile every time you drive it and it is just sooo much cooler than many more cars on the road....

But I still love my Cab to much....!!!

Happy New Year first of all. Right I have looked up on previous posts and have found a few snippits that help me. I was rushing out on NYE to a party and I had a smell and some very light steam in the car and instantly recognised it, as I had the same smell and very hot foot last year in my M3 but w...

Afternoon all

I have a really annoying vibration with my gear lever at certain speeds or revs it really shows up at motorway speeds...

Any ideas as to what the likely cause is ?

It's an M3 just incase that helps...

Thanks

Lui

Evening All I have a little problem with the M3. I was driving it Christmas Eve and I burnt my foot as boiling coolant forced it's way in to the drivers footwell. I topped up the coolant and limped home. I called out the RAC this evening and they have confirmed that the coolant pipes are dry within ...

The article in EVO about the omega you couldn't of read it very well because they had no trouble reaching speeds in excess of 220mph and it didn't have a rotary engine ! I had the M3 upto an indicated 157mph and it felt fantastic stable it didn't feel at all light you could feel the aerodynamics doi...

Thanks Brian

That's a result.

Just checked the rear ash tray light and it doesn't exsist it has been removed and the 2 cores cut cleanly.
What now.

Cheers

That's correct the headlamp adj fogs and main lights do illuminate within the dash.
All instruments on the speedo/rev unit light up except the two 501 lamps
And the lights within the main console ash tray heater etc.

Thanks
I hope that's a bit clearer

Is there any chance of some greatly appricated help.

Please

Lui

Afternoon All I was fiddling about in the car the other day and when I went out in the evening the dash lights were all out so I checked the fuses one had blown I replaced it and it went again so I replaced all dash lights OBC lights heater lights and (they all were proven to work by the headlamp ad...

Some of you guys should really learn to read...before replying to any of these threads... I stated what happened and how it was and you still tell me it can't be done....It was done and that is it, on a different day with a different CTR, 182 or 330ci then the result mave well have been reversed.......

E36 Boy I didn't say that I beat the 330ci but we were pretty much side by side until about 130mph then power and aerodynamics started playing there part and he the 330ci started edgeing away but like I say only edgeing.... But as DaveTouring mentioned the Slip stream situation when I was behind the...

Wow this is great a topic I started and it is really getting people thinking a bit... I feel sort of proud I guess... I only had this thought because I had had some small but fun duels now if I choose to get involved I would hope that the other dude is going to give his all as well... just as I do I...

Well as I have a 215 bhp UK M3 to compare I know what they both feel like and "murder" might be pushing it but it is most certainly quicker in many situations except above 3.5k the M3 does really move but the 2.7 pulls like a TGV from the second the the pedal is pressed. but the 2.7 starts to hit a ...

Well the reason I asked about this little thought is because I have had a run in with all of the above cars The Clio 182 was behind me on the M1 and each and every time the traffic cleared we both went for it and I dropped it every time and above 100 I really started to pull away. The Focus ST 170 w...

How do people think a fairly well sorted 2.7 will cope against the fairly modern batch of Hot Hatches...

Civic Type Rs
172/182
ST170
and finally a 330ci not a hot hatch I know but it would be interesting..

I'm really upset I came back from work today, I walked up the road checked out the car as you do and have found three dents and one of them has broken the paint.... Now the car has been in the garage for the last week having some more bloody work done and I know for sure that they weren't there when...

Recently my girlfriend wanted to buy a car and I wasn't going to get involved because her old man really likes to get his oar in. Over 30 years at Vauxhall does that to you I suppose, he wanted her to have a corsa or a tigra but luckily she asked me to find her a few cars that she might like.. No Bm...

And are you happy with your purchase...?

Is that yours in the your picture ?

In response to the Ford Sport Ka vs e30 M3 on fifth gear that was and is a stupid comparison....reason a very early and leggy e30 M3 (195bhp) but then recently seen to produce around 180bhp.... and also Tiff was having alot of sideways action rather than really concentrating on a fast clean lap.... ...

Ok where do I start for that one.

Hi I have some strange going on's My auto gear box has now started to not make changes when required and now sometimes it just stays in one gear at all times.. using the switchable knob now doesn't do a great deal.. yet it then seems fine and it works as it did and should. Yesterday I changed the ch...

I remember a e30 rolling road test in Total Bmw a while back and there was an Auto 2.7 that gave the best power on the day 222bhp and similar torque..... I think that was a Bexley car... My old man had a 635csi for about 12 yrs and that was a switchable auto and was pretty good fun but scary as sh*t...

Ok then so once the other work is done it's going to move on the performance again, wow I really hope so...

Lui

It's a 325 head and the eta bottom end pretty straight forward by all accounts, it has been chipped as a 2.5 about 2 years ago it runs fine all be it on Shell V-power just awaiting the 2.7 zone chip... but it does just pull and then keep going well... It wheel spinned away from the lights earlier as...

Well I'm looking forward to that then... because it is now far quicker and it really keeps going but suddenly the brakes feel as if there lacking I might get some better pads...

What were the offical figures of the Alpina c2.7 or the Hartge h27
and will they be similar to our type of 2.7 ?

Lui

It is as Standard as can be except a full Fritzs system I'm waiting for a zone chip then in the New Year a schrick cam and flowed head might be on the agenda and if required a custom remap....

It really doesn't feel that far of the pace of our M3 although not as savage in it's delievery

I have just finnished running my car in as it has just had a 2.7 upgrade and I can now start to open her up a little bit and she is almost certainly quicker but what sort of increase in performance can I expect...???

Thanks

Lui

Sorry To Hi Jack this intresting thread.......

Sal it's Lui what news do you have regarding this zone chip for my new 2.7...
If you can help please do.

Lui

Cheers Pal.

Hi I have just got my car back from the garage... It has just had a 2.7 conversion carried out and I'm slowly running it in...
But my OBC now doesn't show MPG readings or AVG speed I'm just wondering if there is a reset anywhere..

Thanks

Lui
