BMW E30 318i Pre-facelift in outstanding condition. The car runs and drives fantastic and is a real head turner and has a considerable amount of work carried out since I purchased September 2019 from a family friend who owned the car from new. During my ownership, the car has had:- new sunroof, inne...

Hi All,

I'm after a pair of blue rear headrests if anyone has a pair for sale or knows of a pair for sale. Photo below of my interior which they would need to match. Thanks

I spotted your E30 yesterday Trevor up at the Motorist, looking very good. I had a ride up in my red SLK as its for sale so a bit of free advertising :-D otherwise I would have been up in the E30 aswell. Kicking myself really as Ive been up a few times now and only ever been my E3O there when I've b...

Some steelies look nice, but not E30 versions, especially with hub cap fitted :lol: Looks much better IMO, a little wide maybe, any tyre/arch contact? the steelies were just too thin and, as much as I tried to improve the look, never really satisfied with them. there does'nt appear to be any rubbin...

Seems to be a well kept car. You say it is a 1988 car but appears to be a pre-facelift chromie. I thought the last of the chromies were around mid 1987. Would be interested to know which engine have you got in your 318i - is it an M10 or M40 engine? thankyou, I've spent quite a bit of time over the...

I noticed a bit of oil on the garage floor, had a look under the car and the side of the gearbox was wet so checked the reservoir which was empty so the slave must have been leaking for a while. I had a look online and found a shop down south selling the clutch & master for £47.50 by febi so got the...

Can I be a purist and say it looked sooooo good on the standard wheels

I adore a clean chromie, very nice motor!

Haha yes you can, and it did but looks so much better now

Looks really good, nice and subtle. Big change from your painted steelies. Once the weather picks up and we get a bit more daylight we could meet up at The Motorist. The NY 500 near Pickering is also a good cafe meet venue - not far from the Mathewson auction showroom. thankyou, I do like my steeli...

All well and yours ???
Both venues were great for me so when I can walk and function and see, anything above 15c is fine for me lol.

Mart.
Wheels are cool

Mart.

cheers Mart, we'll get something sorted. Walk and function...... what have you been upto?

Looking very cool mate, quite different as you say :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: Mart. Cheers Mart, really enjoyed working on the car, one job leads to another but enjoyed every minute especially after buying an electric heater for garage :D Would be good to meet up again at Wakefield or even Sherbur...

Next job is to refurb the brake system, and also investigate an oil leak but that can wait until Christmas 2022

I need to get her out on the road and put some miles on the clock, maybe a visit to the Motorist Hub at the top of the road

Its been a while since I updated my original post and the car has been through a bit of a transformation. I had her refurbished and back with me during 2020 where I attended a couple of meets. All the bodywork was carried out by Common Lane Restorations but everything else, I decided to take on. Not...

thanks Mark, prices seem to have increased quite a bit

Hi Jon,

Please could you give me a price for the sunroof seal \ gasket for my E30. It looks like it's in two parts?

My reg is E894 DCP.

Thanks very much
Damian

Thinking that it wouldn't be an issue after reading various posts, articles etc, I put E10 in my 318i and it starting missing after circa 10 miles then just died. As I couldn't find any issues, I drained the tank, fitted a new fuel filter and put 10 litres of shell vpower unleaded in. Car is almost ...

I like them, they make the rear end look wider

it looks like it was a great turn out, I did end up having a ride up but by the time I got there, around 2:30pm there wasn't many around so just went to the airfield.

It would be good to go here when you don't have to buy tickets and can rome around and stay as long as you like.

Good morning,

I hope you're well.

Could you give me a price please for the front brake splash \ cover guards? I think the part numbers might be 34111154241 & 34111154242 nut not 100% sure. The registration is E894 DCP.

Thank you
Damian

Excellent. I finished the job last night - reinstalling the lock was actually very straightforward which was a nice surprise. I now have a working drivers-side lock, and remote central locking. I just need some glass in the window and I'll be secure again :D Sound job, very satisfying when things g...

ok mate thanks, thats sorted now. I was talking about the door barrel repair kit, just need to remove door card and unclip the old barrel when I get amoment Getting the old barrel out was pretty easy. Apparently getting it clipped back in is a bit harder though (I haven't done that part of the job ...

All sorted now Jon, just rebuilt the lock using the passenger side tumbler sequence as guidance although the barrel was shorter so only 7 tumblers but easy enough to figure out the rest one at a time

Finally, all the doors \ ignition now work on the same key, worked wonders for my OCD

Thanks

Ok no problem, thanks Jon.

I'll take the other lock out the passenger door and see what sequence those are in.

Cheers

Hi Jon

I took the drivers door lock apart to remove the tumblers but I have a problem, half of the existing tumblers are broken due to an attempted break in.

Apart from taking apart the passenger door lock, is there any other way of finding out the existing sequence?

Many thanks
Damian

It was the front passenger side black corner trim Think its held on be a screw on the inside of the bumper, ok mate thanks, thats sorted now.
