So, It's been a while since I last posted..Not everything went as planned but finally after 2 months of waiting here we go. First things first.. 1.jpg 2.jpg 3.jpg 4.jpg 5.jpg In the process of the swap I decided to put bigger radiator and electric fan as well! Considering the suspension as said, rea...

Yea there are some baurs around..
Generally E30s are really cheap to buy in Greece..I got my for 1.5k.
In most cases you can have a really good one for 3-5 grand..

There are really not many around, especially in good condition.
I often get weird looks,since I wasn't even born when E30s were around

Well the little 14s will have to go since I am going to run the 5 lug setup.

Sure,
Here's the first photo I have ever taken, some hours after buying the car.

Here's some others after throwing some money on her

Hello mates! Have not posted for a while now..I was waiting for the right time! I have been driving my 90' M40 316i for almost a year now and finally the time to post my plans for it has come :P It has been almost 3 weeks since I left the car in a local BMW garage (Unfortunately cant do the labor my...

Oh well..Had to repost after painting bumpers.. Your opinions on painting the trim as well?? :o: WOW now that is very black and I am loving the gloss black too and I am so glad the wheels are silver. :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: Mart. Not gonna change them! I am in love with the little basketweaves....

Thank you Mart!

Been really busy this week, Did not try yet
Could you please specify where exactly WD-40 should be applied?

Had my car delivered for intake manifold inspection today.
Every rubber was replaced and also the injectors was cleaned, No more gasoline smell
Cost 70 euros!

Power wise the car is ok , revving all the way to 6 and half no problem at all
Mpg is 28ish with mixed driving
However the car sometimes is having a rough idle, not sure if that's linked to the leaking injector

Hey, here I go again asking for your help : :mrgreen: So after doing a quick check up in my M40 engine bay I noticed that the first injector (closer to the transmission) was wet looking so I guess there goes an injector leak which also explains the strong fuel smell around the engine bay and the int...

Thanks Ben
Will try asap!

Hey guys Have recently bought a nice pair of bucket front seats for just 200 euros with minor upholstery holes on the driver's seat,passenger's is perfect (original cloth). However the driver's seat is suffering from the typical gangster lean.Is there any easy fix for that?I have read somewhere that...

Take a look in the Differential wiki page: https://www.e30zone.net/e30wiki/index.php/Differential As far as I know all E30 differentials are interchangeable. Your stock diff should be a 3.91 / 3.64 small case open differential. Considering the above the safest option would be a 3.91 medium case LSD ...

Oh well..Had to repost after painting bumpers..
Your opinions on painting the trim as well??

Greetings guys! Was currently researching for the M54 swap after considering the really light 3 liter engine (130kg) and the really high stock hp numbers.I can easily source a e46 330ci swap for like 1-2 grand in my country So considering brakes what would be ideal to do? Is 5 lug a must? Which setu...

- Small Update -
Currently repairing the rear rust hole and painting in Diamond Black Front,Rear,Mirrors and Mtech1 spoiler!
Will post pics when done!

Greetings Everyone! I am being offered a small case 4.27 LSD paired with rear disc trailing arms for only 350 euros - A great deal for my 316i budget wise However after researching the wiki I saw that the small case 4.27 diff was never offered with a limited slip option :eek: The seller claims its f...

Daily Sedan M40 316i, 35ish Mpg to work and Uni (Less on cruising )
Thinking of M52B28 or M44b19 in the future
Nice picture, but it looks like you have blue lights on top of your car!

Oh well, Did not really pay attention to the background until know!

)

Well you got me..
With a quick search found the kit for 140 euros shipping included! Sounds like a good deal, will post pics as soon as I fit them!

That E30 looks lovely..
Is it possible to put lowering springs on factory replacement bilstein!?

Greetings Everyone! So since my little 316i is improved considering exterior and interior details (Mtech 1 steering wheel , black leather trim , smoked headlights , style 5 basketweaves 14" , 318is lip ) it is time for a new suspension. Not sure what the previous owner have done but the front is way...

So I checked the coolant again after a ride in order to warm the car after the last refill and realised that I never topped up in the first place. Followed the bleed procedure (sadly I damaged the bleed screw using small flat screw driver) turned fan on full setting and filled up accordingly. Hopefu...

So there is a chance I did not top the expansion tank in the first place
Will apply the procedure first thing tomorrow and keep you posted!
Thank you!

Hello everyone! So about a month and a half ago I had some strange temp rise when the car was stuck in traffic. I even bought a new fan clutch right away thinking that this was the problem, but after checking the coolant level I noticed it was almost at the end of the radiator :o: Anyway I bought a ...

Greetings!
Would like to know the price of an 318is front lip spoiler!
Part No: 51711968488

Hello everyone!
I have been having some unstable RPM idle around 750-1100 when stationary on my little 316i. However it does not happen most of the time, it happened more often during the winter
Any clue??

Hello everyone! I know there's pretty much an answer for everything at the wiki but I would like your opinion! Is it worth converting the drum brakes on an 316i? Have found 325i rear trailing arms with discs for just 150$, besides that is there any other conversion that needs to take place in order ...

Won't be able to afford a full rust body repair. Attending Uni and working part time has limits sadly.
Will be fixing that exterior rust spot however, in the near future!

Agreed!
I think a set of Exip Lexmall would be so sweet, however I can't seem to find any online
Here's a photo my interior,grabbed an Mtech1 wheel last week for just 100 euro!
