How can you put Porsche wheels on a BMW?

Very odd.

I think some 17in Alpina copies would suit it far more than wheels off another make

.

Cheers, will give them a go.

Can anyone recommend a machine shop in South London.

I need to get the centre bore of some alloys opened up by a couple of mm.

I'm based in Crystal Palace, but am prepared to travel a bit to somewhere decent or cheap.

Cheers Bri

True, although the photos of caneswell's M3 after he spent the day drifting were pretty tasty...

Cheers Bri

It looks superb mate.

TBH I have not seen a single nova arched e30 with a flush fitting boot, so must be a commopn problem.

I like the 5 door golf and metro, but to be honest why ruin a perfect e30 by sticking nova arches on it?

Cheers Bri

Looks superb Ste

My missus hates tourings, including mine but thought yours looked "cool - I like that".

I officially hate you.

Cheers Bri

That looks about right, mine sits fine at the rear but the front is far far too high.

I think tourings came with the equivalent of mtech shocks (may be wrong) so that will work out aswell.

Cheers Bri

Thanks fellas

Will see if I can get hold of some cheap -35 or 40mm springs and see if it lowers it enough.

Cheers Bri

Is there a maximum the car can be lowered on standard shocks?

Want to get some lowered springs for the front of my 320 touring, and unsure if there is a limit.

I would like either -35 or -60mm, would this be a problem on the standard shocks?

Running standard 15in BBS.

Cheers Bri

Thanks John

I will see if bleeding it again sorts this out.

Sorry, wasn't very clear.

This is when I give the engine a once over before using it, so from cold.

Could an air in the system cause these symptoms?

Cheers Bri

Quick question

Why would the coolant level on my 320 rise and fall.

Whenever I check the coolant level it is different, one day it will be on the line, the next 1/2 - 1cm above another it will be 1/2cm below.

Does not overheat, no mayo and no other problems.

Cheers Bri

Part of GUG will always live on these shores, I have the big K&N that came off the infamous GUG fitted to my touring.

Cheers Bri

All appears to be ok now, been out in the usual se london traffic jams and no problems.

Going to be doing a fair few miles in it tonight so will see how it is on a long run.

Cheers for the help on the phone Ant.

Bri

With my trusty screwdriver and hammer I'm sure the job will be straightforward.....

Thanks for the advice, appreciate it.

Hi Ant

Tried calling a couple of times, try again in a minute.

Cheers Bri

Need to ask some questions about the coolant topping up process on an M20. I did the following as per the instructions in the tech help article - although I didn't take the thermostat out as i havn't got a socket set.

Personally I'd advise you to try both.

I went from a mk2 16v golf to a 320 touring, and have not found it much of a problem. Yes it is slower, but still alright to drive.

Ignore the cock waving about engine size and see what cars you prefer yourself.

Cheers Bri

Thanks, the guy at Coopers bmw couldn't tell from my description what it was.

Cheers Bri

Need to identify this pipe on my 320, it came off the other week and dumped all the coolant. It has not been overheating, and I think had been leaking very slightly for some time. I'm going to initially just re-attach it, but need to know the part number or description to get a replacement in the ne...

Thanks fellas.

Will see how much powerflow back box will cost.

This is the design I mean.

Cheers Bri

I quite like them, although didn't realise they were popular on saxos.

Always thought they looked good on mk2 golfs with the euro look, and as I need a new rear box on mine thought I see if they are available.

Cheers Bri

Does anyone know if any companys sell letterbox rear boxes?

For a 89 320i touring.

Cheers Bri

About Ãƒ”šÃ‚£1000 too much imho.

Cheers Bri

Thanks Brian.

Going to treat it to a service this month anyway.

Cheers Bri

I bought the car a month ago, all the green lights were on. In the space of the last week it has dropped down to 3 green lights lit, and yesterday the clock and inspection light came on. Is it normal for the inspection light to be on as well as three green lights? or is it just a reflection of the c...

Must be worth finding out exactly whats wrong with it before converting to manual.

It may be a Ãƒ”šÃ‚£50 job at the end of the day.

Cheers Bri

Does any one know why the passengers seat adjusts for height, but not the drivers seat?

Cheers Bri

89 320i estate

It will look pretty good on black MIMs.

I'm fancying some ronal turbos for mine, nut waiting till the right set turn up for pennies....

Cheers Bri

At the end of the day Matt, its a white tourer...can't polish a turd

(I'd go for a polished dish).

Cheers bri

Just got to be looking in the right places I suppose. Never on Autotrader as people have to pay to advertise - no value on cars worth less than Ãƒ”šÃ‚£400. I found this one on a free ads website, there are loads of them out there craigslist, gumtree, findit etc. Local papers are pretty useful too, a...

Always liked them, and found that they were generally in better condition that the same age and price saloons.
