E30 Zone

Well spotted Greeny. Full marks. It is just off the evo triangle on the Llyn Brenig leg.

The group shot was over nearer to Bala though.

Cheers for the comments guys.

I didn't think it was you but couldn't see through the screen well enough.

In order to get the middle shot, the camera is mounted on a combination of suckers, clamps and bars and stuff then fired remotely from inside the car.

Hey up Matt.

That wasn't you on Eccy road this afternoon by any chance was it?

Was out in Wales a week or so ago with some friends and shot some pics. http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k276/matthew_h/Llyn%20Brenig%20March%2007/IMG_9346resized.jpg http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k276/matthew_h/Llyn%20Brenig%20March%2007/IMG_9285resized.jpg Unfortunately, the Cossie had had to...

Sounds like I need to check mine then and find out exactly which version it is that I need.

I know the Sport Evo ones are different too but know I don't need that one.

Guess I should change my avatar too. It should have a nice black hole where the badge used to be

Some kind person has nicked my M3's grill badge breaking the grill in the process. :twisted: :evil: Very pleasant of them. Just looked up on C3 for prices of the grill and badge and there seems to be a few differing options for the grill. The standard E30 headlight grill is listed separately to the ...

Anyone got any experience of this? I spent yesterday scooting round Oulton Park in my M3 and had a great day but it was slightly tarnished by brake problems. The pedal was going very long but this is just down to fluid. More disconcerting and annoying though was the amount of judder I was getting un...

Well, Ãƒ”šÃ‚£10 is currently about 11 litres which is roughly 2.45 gallons.

At the 20 mpg that I mentioned earlier that gives you approximately 49 miles from a tenner.

HTH

On a motorway run with some normal dring about at each end, my M3 (with a Milltek and a Conforti chip) will average about 31-32mpg. I have had 40+ just on the motorway but that was like I was driving Miss Daisy about. Around town on my work commute I get about 20ish mpg On track at Oulton Park yeste...

No worries. As I said, I have a real soft spot for white ones and I reckon that all things being equal I would have had a white one over any of the others

I have a very soft spot for white one but from a purely biased point of view it has to be DB:

matthew_h - 1989 Diamond Black (not sure whether 200 or 215 model), Jim Conforti chip, Milltek exhaust, Ferodo pads, Recaro Speed seats, Momo steering wheel, Colour coded 16" BBS, etc

Oh, and the Grale looks wrong without the FWP spoiler

Hey up Harry,

Don't worry about the badges, Maxfield is only saying that because he got a lot of stick when he showed photos of his Dad's M3 with the rear badge in the wrong place.

Your photos are crap btw

Thanks for all the comments chaps. Gratifying to here people appreciate my photos.

Falkster, where in Yorkshire are you? We could maybe do a double M3 shoot. I'm near Sheffield.

Couple more shots of my M3 for you: http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k276/matthew_h/CoolBlueM3800x600.jpg and http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k276/matthew_h/SunsetM3800x600.jpg Due to a problem with my usual host, these shots are only available in 800x600 but if anyone wants them in higher res th...

Thanks for the comments chaps. Just got back from 10 days down in Cornwall so it's nice to come back to good comments.

I will try to provide more shots fairly regularly if people want them.

Here's another in the occasional series of pictures of my M3

Hope you like it

Nice one, cheers for that Mat, I'll give you a shout in due course.

Cheers Mat

It completely behaved itself this evening on the way home from work so I'm going to keep an eye on it and see what happens.

So it is a pain in the arse then? Why is it so tricky? Just a pain getting the gearbox off or something else? I only have a Haynes manual for the normal E30s atm. Will this be sufficient for me to figure out doing the M3 or do I need further info? Sorry for all the questions. Just trying to work out...

Cheers chaps for the advice. Just looked up the clutch on ECP and GSF. ECP list a Sachs/LUK clutch kit at Ã‚£162 (which I assume is without VAT) and GSF list a clutch kit at Ã‚£142. Will the GSF one be Sachs too? Does anyone know how difficult changing the clutch is? I have the impression that it is...

Cheers Mat,

Do you have any recommendations for where to take it in Sheffield?

I've taken it to AutoTecnic a couple of times but I'm not 100% sure about them and they aren't the cheapest.

I was planning to change to whole clutch but it has all come about three months early

The clutch on my M3 has started behaving a little oddly. When engaging or disengaging the clutch there is a significant amount of judder and vibration through the pedal. It still seems to work and isn't slipping (unless I do emergency starts in the dry but it has been like that for a while) but the ...

The crux of the thing is that his policy does not cover him for mechanical failures and the split fuel pipe was classed (rightly so) as a mechanical failure thus making his claim void. The stuff about racing and the NOS are not related the claim being thrown out as far as I can tell. Still a mighty ...

Still not sure about the positioning of the bootlid M3 badge. Looks wrong.

Other than that though it looks pretty good to me

Shut up Mr Nelson

Couple of pics of me driving my M3 round Cadwell on Monday:

I'm currently fitting some new seats in my M3 and bizarrely have ended up with a very similar method to that shown above. Ollie's is a lot neater than mine though with all that fancy welding but hopefully mine should work just as well. I'm mounting some Recaro Speed seats on runners though which is ...

Cheers for the replies chaps. I'll have a look at it and see what I can find

Got a bit of an annoying problem with the indicator/headlight dip stalk on my car. When the lights are on and I indicate right the stalk switches main beam on dazzling on-coming drivers and generally being a pain. Anybody know what I can do about this? Is it a case of replacing the switch or is ther...

Cheers guys.

Re: Ferrybridge - I'm not sure whether Sunday will be possible, depends if I can get my new seats in on Saturday or not but send me some details and I'll see what I can do.

It's alright mate, there was only about Ã‚£1800s worth of camera hanging off the side of the car

I had a very close eye on it all

Thanks guys, glad you like it. Photography is a bit of a hobby of mine so people liking my stuff is good. The shot was taken using a DSLR mounted to the car using a double suction mount thingy and a long shutter speed to create the blur. Mr Gates, just for you (and anyone else that wants it) here is...

Have to go against the flow here and just say that I don't like the gold ones at all. Not my bag.

I'd prefer it with either Nogaro or black centres with polished lips.
