Would there be much work in getting the upswept bits cut off and leave a straight finish on the pipes?

I'm very undecided on the upswept look, certainly would prefer straight pipes, but theres a scorpion system come up for sale with the dtm tips for reasonable money that I might buy

Hmmm, now thats something that has never occurred to me.

Is there anything down along the length of the prop shaft that might go?

Its not the big diff bushing or the exhaust either....

Howdy guys, Ive a knocking coming from the middle/rear of the car when cornering to the left and over bumpy roads occasionally. It doesnt manifest itself through every left turn and depends on the angle of the corner and the speed carried through it. It is not the top mount. Ive had them changed. It...

Theyre fantastic seats alright, 16 years, over 100k on the clock and the bolsters feel as strong as ever.

Quality detective work there Dan! Should have read back over the thread!

Is this a part number gents?

091.58.144

BMW E30LS SSK FLOCK DIAGO

Found a sticker under the seat with that, some other bits written on it also but none that seemed inportant.

Is that the part number and is there somewhere I can enter that into to check...?

Very hard to gauge a price for BBS splits, especially the RS. Price depends on condition and the manner in which theyre finished. Ive soon gold one selling for 2000euro with time left still to bid!

Gents, before I actually physically go outside, get on my knees and search for a part number for these seats, can anyone point me to where I should be looking??

The curiosity as to what they are is eating me up. A lot of the US gang are claiming that they are e21 seats.

Called into the local bodyshop today and got the guy there to have a look at it for me. Not only is the glue on the paintwork but in places it has also damaged the laquer. The only option left at this stage is to sand it down and respray it. Got quoted 100euro, about 60 odd sterling so it's not too ...

My bad, the shock of the price blurred my vision and sent my mind into a flatspin ergo missing that vital piece of information you posted!! :) Must call for a good look at the wheels during the week and then its decision time! I'll be sad to see my BBS go, but the Alpinas are tasty. I know of a set ...

Thats 98 euro, crazy money!!

Are they gotten through a dealer or from where?

Do Synters have a website? I may email them and plead for a used one!!

how about body colour ? No way, I really hate that look :evil: +1 Its rotten looking. I'm undecided on the whole black/ chrome kidney grill thing. I used to be mad for a black grill but I dont know these days. Certainly makes the front of some cars look a lot more aggressive. The chrome kidneys how...

cheers eko! Still bloody expensive!! Thats coming to over 100euro when you include vat and shipping... for ONE centre cap!!

Oh very nice

I wonder how often they pop up on ebay.de??

Thinking of selling my BBS crosspokes and picking up a set of genuine Aplinas. Wheels are in good condition, not mint but not bad either. The only problem is that they are missing one centrecap. How likely am I to find a genuine centrecap to fit? Am I likely to have to pay much? Is there a replica c...

I had a a set of 9x16 under my 60/40 drop the other night and while they didnt fit right due to the offset being wrong.... you will have to roll the rear arches. The arch came right down to the top of the stretched tyre with only a couple of mill of room. Any bump and you'll be scrubbing big time. I...

As soon as the weather clears I'll try the nail varnish remover. I was surprised the white spirits had no effect.

Someone on another site said they thought they might be from an e21... which is now after setting me thinking. I always just assumed that what I was told about them was true. Proper comfy seats they are. Certainly not standard m3 or sport evo front seats.

Can anyone tell me conclusively what these front seats are from. Ive been led to believe that they are from an e30 m3 evo. They are OEM BMW seats, but from what?

Ive never heard of a superglue remover actually???

How would the paint take to me using it on it?

Would both nail varnish remover and superglue remover be any worse for the paint than white spirits?

Cheers for the suggestions...

I must have another try, poor weather here today and tomorrow I think.

Basically what it is is blobs of superglue residue left on the paint

Went about removing the badges on the rear of the car lastnight guys. Ive an M badge, 325 and i. I was taking them off in preparation of buying a new 325, replacing it slightly to the left and fitting an is badge after. Problem- the badges were obviously off at some point in the past 16 years and we...

A buddy of mine just picked up an M3 in paris and the yellow lights look absolutly fantasic on it in my opinion. On the other hand he is getting quite a bit of hassle off the police over them at nighttime

Yeah read that, sounds like a bit more hassle than I'm up for at the moment! Very interested to see how the standard i lip looks on yours. Ive a buddy with a sport wearing a tiny front splitter which up untill now remained a mystery as to what it was off. Mystery solved I think. It looks very well o...

That South African splitter looks even better, impossible to find though by the sounds of things and expensive also

MMMMM-MMMMMMMM That sport is one badass looking machine. Looks very well I must say! Another idea for the melting pot!

So who's going to track down a part number for the 325i front lip???? Surely it's not going to be an expensive piece

Why havent I bought one... the list of things I want to buy for the car grow longer by the day... as do the list of things I NEED to do!! itg, bbtb, arbs, exhaust, wheels, polybushes... I could go on and on!! Unfortunately the wages dont stretch nowhere near far enough! :mad: Petrol tax insurance an...

would like to see what it would look like?

Likewise, someone get a picture up pronto....

How would a driver of a 325 feel the added gains of the ITG? Would they be as prominant as the gains felt on the more powerfull car with regards throttle response and top end urgency? Surely the two cars to test the kits on would be the 318is and the 325is, the cars many people have... Sounds like a...

You'll be saving for a long time for these Colin!

I had one on the last sport and it improved throttle response, not by much, but noticable to me anyway. Also raised the rev limit a bit.

Went about fitting four Schmidt 9x16's to the sport tonight, just as a loan for a week. All four were et45. Had no problem with the rears but the inner lips on the front wheels on both sides were fouling on the h&r shocks. More so on the drivers side than the passenger side. Ive got the 60/40 kit fi...

Sorry I just read the mag and Googled for a pic

I actually thought they were the volk wheel, had to go back and check. Yanks have a thing for the volks fr some reason!

That was'nt autotesting, just a slalom clip. Still good though. BMW's are too big for autotesting, a mini is what you need!

The wheels are compos, but six spoke not the five pictured above.

Is a straight cut box not just a dogleg box? Sounded like a sequential box in the hillclimb.

Looks brilliant sal. The extra information is a superb addition.
