Hi all,

Wishing you all a merry Christmas!

Has anyone put S50B32 ITB's on the M20B25? If so what's involved to get it to work? Or can anyone who's done it please get in touch with me.

Many thanks

Hi I'm after a pair of disc rear trailing arms for my facelift 4 door. Or if you just have one side. Let me know

Hi flybynite, my car is facelift. The engine loom also came with the engine. So we swapped in the engine, loom and ecu into my facelift car.

Hi Tineca, yeah I’m aware of this too. I do have another coding plug I did swap that over and try that (I believe the one I tried is for a 325 but will have to check) and it still didn’t work. The engine I swapped in was a prefacelift. But came with the ecu it was running with previously; so was all...

Hi. I recently swapped out the engine from an m20b20 to an m20b25 and since doing that the rev counter has stopped working. It just stays in the position when the car is off. The rest of the instrument cluster is working as it should. Any ideas as to what would cause this and what will fix it? Many ...

Hi. Thanks for your reply i've managed to sort a manifold out now. Just after an AFM for an m20b25 now

Looking for both an AFM & exhaust manifold for m20b25 high comp engine, Shopping around to see what's available. Thanks

Thanks steve_k. will that be where is find the the information on size of the engine too?

Hi,

Can someone show me where the engine code/number are located on the 1985 M20 engine block and head. A clear photo or diagram of location would be great so I know where to look.

Many thanks

Hey all,

I recently bought some fishnet recaro seats.

Just wondered where would be best to get some adapters/runners to fit them in the car. Has anyone done this or recommend some too me? Or have some laying around?

Cheers

We got it up on the ramp and 51mm after checking. thanks all

hello all, Looking to order suspension for my 1988 320i. Want to make sure I order the correct strut size. I'm aware there were two sizes of strut on the car 45 and 51 mm. On e30zone wiki it says it has 51mm struts is this true of all 320i models? Can 51mm struts be fitted to cars with 45mm struts o...

Hi just to let you know that the heaters working well so no airlock at the back of the head

Ok i'll check the heater when I next take the car out and let you know wht happens. thanks again

hi brianmoooore, Thank you for taking the time to reply to question. I dont recall the coolant light coming on. As for the temp gauge it went near red but I had pulled over then and as was getting steam from the coolant reservoir. I asked about what position on the temp gauge as the car is still fai...

Its a 6 cylinder. Thank you all for your help. I really appreciate it.

Cloggy Saint,

Thanks for getting back to me so quick on this. Glad to hear that. I figured it should be ok but after it over heating been watching the gauge like a hawk.

Thanks again

Hey all, Need to pick your brains again. A little back story. The car was running fine and then the temp gauge started creeping up to 3/4 and stayed there. Then climbed higher so I pulled into the services. I let it cool and topped up with new coolant then set off, not far down the road I had the sa...

thanks brian. so if what I understand is correct; if these resistors are removed it will get rid of the dim dip feature? Then my dipped headlights will run at full brightness on the first position of the switch when the engine is running?

hi chrishc, thanks for your message. sorry for the late reply i didnt get notified. the car is post facelift. im not aware of the dim-dip function? so when the ingnitions on to turn on the lights i have a pull switch with two settings. sidelights/dipped headlights and full beam. the dipped lights ar...

as usual i knew i could really on you guys for help. thank you to all of you. brian i will look to adjust the headlights tomorrow. them aiming too low would explain why i saw no difference when swapping to better bulbs. thanks for pointing me in the right direction. have a great wweekend all

hi steve_k, i swapped the bulbs to phillips x-treme vision 130. after swapping to a more modern bulb the headlights were no brighter. I figured it was maybe the headlight design? (they are not smiley headlights)

hey all, Hope you're all well. Last night I was pulled over by a very pleasant police office for my headlights. His reason was because he thought he had my side lights on. He was shocked when I said they were my headlights. He advised me to invest in some new headlights which I confirmed I was going...

thank you both for responding I appreciate you taking the time to help me on this

Hey all, I hope you're well and looking forward to the weekend! just a quick question. I'm looking at a pair of Recaro fishnets (similar to the picture below) to replace my ripped cloth seats. https://rollaclub.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/monthly_11_2011/post-10392-0-03735600-1321659306_thumb.jpg Bu...

evening all! I'm looking for some advice/experience. I have a 88' 320i in the future im looking to upgrade the suspension and arb's but other things take priority right now. short term i'm thinking of upgrading the springs to get a lower firmer ride. Any recommendations for springs to fit stock susp...

thanks allan i hope it works. fingers are crossed.

ill look into the cambelt. ive got all the paperwork so will be sure to check that out.

I decided to go the same route and gone for a second hand cluster from a really helpful chap on here. I'll let you know how it goes! this has been the one niggle that has been a stumbling block. everything else seems fine. just needs new bushes, fluids and a seal and she should be fighting fit again...

Hi all, I'm having all many of problems with my 1988 320i's motometer instrument cluster from - erratic rev needle while idling - coolant temp needle straight to red - no reading from the mpg gauge the list goes on..
