E30 Zone

I dont know the person or car but trying to help. Can only imagine what they are going through.

Hope they find it.
Please share.

2 questions - (Inspired after seeing another users glue covered dash) :cry: 1. Anyone bought one from Australia because ive been told that we get charged stupidly high customs duty and VAT which brings the overall price from £40 to near £100? 2. Are they any good? I would be happy to spend the money...

Hi, can anyone who has a tech 1 rear spoiler fitted or has knowledge about them give me some info about fitting one. I currently have a standard little spoiler on my car, (not sure what its called but so many cars have it). I want to get a tech 1 and was wondering if it just fits into the same holes...

BMW Owners Int. Club meet this Sunday @ 6pm, Ace Cafe

I am looking to go - Anyone else going ?

Do you have to book with anyone or can you just turn up?

Anyone else agree with me? So much more fun.

i'm with swinton on my 2.7 m-tech 2 sport, i pay £25P/M fully comp with agreed value & salvage retention. by far the cheapest i've found, Hi Steve, does salvage retention mean you keep your car if it is written off? Because if it is then it is something i need to ask my company about. Does it cost ...

Reading all these prices is crazy! I guess I am 17 so it’s to be expected!

Try Lloyds bank car insurance and also get a more experienced driver on your policy it if you can. should lower your premium.

What a difference to the amount I paid for her six years ago

Wish I had been able to capitalise on the prices from a couple of years ago. Think I will have to try to buy another soon with the way the prices are going.

Its an average car condition wise
I think you are overestimating what an condition an average E30 is in these days Well above the average from what I see

Couldnt agree more.

I understand these cars are rare and desirable low mileage sports, but some of the prices are very silly.

Im no expert but because its a baur (rare) and also a great colour, black seems like a rare E30 colour, I would happily pay 4k for it and would expect it to be priced around 5k. Then i would remove the rack on the boot :D But that is a great looking car youve got there Mart, please dont be tempted b...

Chrome pop-outs with original bronze tint make me happy. Great looking car you have there sir.

Had two different guys ask me if mine was for sale today. Took it out for the first time in a while and first at the petrol station a guy filling up a guy insisted i take his number and call him if i want to sell and second a guy pulled up next to me at the traffic light and asked if it was a 330 an...

Wondering what parts were black when the cars left factory. Ive got a preface 2 door 325. For example, i think that the sills and wing mirrors came out of the factory black, anything else? want to make my car look as original as possible. Front valance? thinking of getting a new one - should i paint...

Hi, you say it went missing, do you mean stolen? If not, it shows up at last having a valid MOT in 2007. This is probably not good news and very likely to have been victim to the old scrappage scheme the government was promoting. Alternatively, it could be sitting in a yard somewhere being broken. I...

Im interested in getting a strut brace for my e30. Its no track car, just a standard road car. Ive read and heard that they really improve handling but ive also read that they are useless. I think they also look nice in the engine bay. Anyone got one installed and can weigh in? Also, what brands/com...

Great pictures, but the Grey convertible is something else - hope to see it at the cafe on saturday.

Are you coming ?
If you are need your details. You’re on the list but I need to submit it to the Cafe

Hi Kos, I will be there but unfortunately not in my e30 as its having issues. You can take me off the list to move others up. Sorry and thanks

I know that the rule is that your car should be 40 years old and will be MOT and tax exempt at this point but does anyone have any experience?

Not on here thought Steve, you now how Mart loves his Baurs

Anyone that is not in the FB loop would have never seen this car, unless you've seen it at a show.

That is a very nice Baur, was never a fan but they have really grown on me recently. Thanks for posting Steve.

Weather forecast is looking promising for this - 29 degrees.

hi all! I have a 1989 320i e30 convertible. when I purchased the car the front foglamp units were completely missing ( I understand why now after seeing the prices of them lol) does anyone know if you can buy blanks to fit in there ? just thinking it could be a better/cheaper option for me to do in...

Hi all, seen these wheels on a car advertised on ebay and am wondering what they are? Seem very similar to the BBS but a bit more dish and different caps?
Thanks

Hi all, I can't believe we lunched the re-vamped Zone just over 7 months ago now. :eek: I'm looking for feedback on the new site, how are all finding it? Is it easy to use? Anything you don't like or like about it? etc.. I've also noticed we have lots of new members, which is great, but we've seeme...

Hi guys, On the hunt for a new thermostat, and just wondering if you think for this part it is worth paying the £70 OEM price vs the £20 aftermarket price? Usually buy BMW parts, but due to the simplicity of this part it has me wondering... Appreciate any experience or thoughts on the aftermarket o...

Hi all, I read a question about preventing an uncracked dash from cracking but cannot remember the name of the thread. Anyway, my question is simple, with uncracked dashboards becoming rare and pricey, what would be the best way to stop one from cracking? Any preventative measures used would be hel...

Well, proper maintenance. I use Auto finesse interior products, anti UV and what not. Works well for me. My car is parked outside 24/7 without any kind of sunlight protection, at least the interior. Will be getting some windshield shades soon though. Do you recommend any particular products? thanks

If im honest, I havent had a chance to get the car out recently due to the horrible weather. I bought a new matrix, not too expensive, the old one looked terrible when removed as is to be expected with such an old part. In your case, I doubt it is the heater valve which is the problem, the way to ch...

Would you recommend the 325 Mart? Ive also considered the smaller engines such as the 318. Think i need to go and test drive a few to see what I like.

Ive had exactly the same issue as you, the heater is hotter when idling but is not very good on the motorway. The engine temperature suggested no problems as it sat just slightly past the middle. Had my heater matrix changed and yes it was very blocked. Not an easy job to change though.

I think 'restomod' (as i understand it) is the best compromise. You can keep the original OEM look and character of the cars but you can upgrade things like the brakes as you mention and have the ultimate driving machine.

Im very interested in a E46 330ci Manual but insurance worries me because they arent too expensive and the young drivers are probably crashing them everyday. Fuel economy wise i expect them to be terrible but Im just after a bit of fun. The E46 has a lovely shape and is one of the last nice looking ...

I highly recommend https://ambassadorcarmats.co.uk/
Bought some mats for my E30 from there and the quality is great and quick delivery.
