E30 Zone

Please can you supply oil filters and sump plug washers for my cars.
H851FDL e30 320i
YK12RMV e84 2.3 D m sport X1
And can you recommend which oil for the X1?
Thanks

I had the same issue and tried to glue it back on using the special sticky pads sold by Halfords etc. Nothing worked for more than a week or so in the heat of the summer. Solution is to take it to a windscreen repair place and they do the job properly for a few quid.

I bought a cheapo one off eBay, fitted about 10 years ago, and it works perfectly.

Thanks everyone.

I’ve got a 1990 320 cab and I’m thinking of buying a new set of wheels. I’ve got 14 in bottle tops at the moment. Two reasons to change..... first it is difficult to get decent tyres for 14 inch wheels. Choice is limited. Second... I think the wheels just look a little too small in the wheel arch. W...

My brake servo is a mess and lets it all down. And I’ve got grime on inner lip of lower bonnet. Must try harder

I’ve just replaced my top mounts ( and shocks) with E46 bits. My old ones looked okay, but when I had a proper inspection they were completely buggerated. The job is easy. I bought a pair of Z3 reinforcement plates but they will not fit onto my cabriolet so they are yours for £12 if you want them.

Beware cheap tyres on eBay. They are often approaching their sell by date. I believe after 6 years tyres have deteriorated significantly and lost a lot of their rubberyness

I’m clearly not obsessive enough and need to raise my game

Thanks again , that is exactly what I needed to know.

Thanks Ben, but I had seen that page on Wiki and assumed that the torque setting quoted referred to the twin nuts which bolt the shock mounting assembly to the bodyshell?

IMHO you’re barking up the wrong tree. You need to get a new one of these from your local dealer or Jon at Cotswold BMW. It’s the non-return valve and it looks like this

Does anyone know the torque setting for the top nut on the rear shock assembly.... Here it is on the photo

I have a list of things to check now.

Spent a bit of fun time checking the blue temp sensor. Only small annoyance was I couldn’t detach the ECU plug with the ECU in situ because there wasn’t enough spare play in the loom to angle the plug in order to free it from the clip on the right side. So had to undo the 4 bolts to free the ECU I d...

Thanks. I will have a look at that

Can anyone give me some advice to try and cure a longstanding problem with my 1990 320 please? When pulling away from stationary I have to accelerate very carefully in order not to stall. If I just floor it, it will stall. It needs a feather lite touch , to get it off the line. Once its going, it’s ...

Hi to everyone I’m a recently retired doctor. I’ve owned a 1990 320 Cabriolet since 1993. Pictures attached. It’s been polished to within a whisker of its life, and used mainly In the dry . I also have had motorbikes and various Landcruisers to spread the load. I’ve finally got the time to do a coup...
