E30 Zone

Thanks guys I'm grateful for the input.

Gutted for you, the scum that do this have no respect for themselves so find it impossible to appreciate it in others! Anyone who knowingly buys any bits from this vehicle wants processing for receiving stolen goods in short order!

The Uniroyals are a cracking tyre as our Vredestein Sportracs if you can find them. Falken's ZE914 is the best of the cheaper options - the stiffer sidewall helps the E30 chassis IMO. Had a set on my E30 and also on one of my Compacts and they last well. Liking the info, this is proving really info...

Thanks guys, I'll be looking to fit new ones so these suggestions are greatly appreciated. Brian thanks for the input on distributors.

I'm looking to treat the Touring to some new tyres in the spring and thought I'd see what recommendations are out there on modern rubber. Currently running Pirelli P6000's but they're getting old now! Also there's an e30 editorial coming up in Classic Car Weekly in the next few weeks and my Touring ...

Right I'm going to try this

So cool there ice cold and the best proportioned version of the e30.

And you can put a wet Labrador in the back

Cheers Maxfield

I've just picked up two doors for the touring, a drivers and passenger O/S/R. However the drivers door has the electric window still in place and its closed. I want to strip this door and have it restored before looking to swap it with the current one next year. Any ideas on how to lower the window....

Big sigh of relief it turns out it was the resistor for the blower!
The fan now only works on setting 4 but at least I know it's not going to self combust.

Cheers speedtouch I'll check into that. Failing that I'll drop the glove box and trim to check the resistor condition as I'm wondering if that's burnt out and caused the smoke and the smell. As an aside I'm definitely not reconnecting the electrics until i've got to the bottom of it though, the cars...

Started the car this morning and drove it out of the garage and within 20 seconds smoke was drifting from the outside air grills in front of the windscreen. A burning smell was also noticeable. I turned the car off and disconnected the battery. It will be tomorrow before I get chance to have a prope...

Taxed mine for the next 6 months....................Mot Next week

As somebody who was around when these were company car fodder here's my ten penneth! Touring everytime due to the fact that they just look right! and were always driven by the discerning! Saloons were predominately driven by yuppies and pensioners!, Of course 325's or evo's were for the senior Yuppi...

Just been in for MOT, flown through, no advisories.
WAHEY

Got the proverbial ripped out of me for only doing 102 mile in it since last year though

Cheers Magpie
Buggers up the aerodynamics though!

Yes it's Mugello and sorry for the delay in the reply

And if Magpie has issues with the Alco's anonymous badge wait while he claps eye's on this!

Thanks TPS,

It's a privilege to own it.

Last year it had a bit of renovation In Bodymotorworks in Chesterfield, Matt Summerfields Place and then it was detailed by Steve Bostok at A2D prior to my daughters wedding.
A wedding limousine it became!
And there lies another story!

One of the ultra rare 'M' reg. E30s! I would have paid you good money up to a couple of years ago to put my M100ORE plate on, that I inherited from my late father. It's on my E39 towing barge now, and the E30s are on E3Oxx plates. Thanks Brian. If I'm right I think you've seen this in the flesh at ...

Thanks CSL, Only ever emerging in the spring and summer, on dry days and holidays. We headed west into Cumbria leaving a sunny Yorkshire friday behind us for a weekend of Cumbrian grey drizzle. However we had a great weekend and I washed the grime off in the hotel car park. Absolutely love this old...

Nice photos mate

No sum god awfull rock bad who sounded like his nuts were trapped in his guitar strings :roll: The band were probably the only negative on the day, the soloist before was pretty good, so the gesture of live entertainment and the organisation behind the show was pretty damn good. Nice to see you at ...

Nice to see you!

Keep up with the Touring, I still think they're most aesthetically pleasing e30's

How about contacting an Inspector on your local Police Traffic Section and asking his opinion after you've given him details of your beliefs and suspicions that an offence has occurred under section 170 of the Road Traffic Act 1988. This offence can result in imprisonment, Discretionary fine and obl...

HI eko

sorry to hear about the health issue, I started with a gallstone issue in November so I know how dibillitating and restrictive it is when your not firing on all cylinders.
Sincerely hope you get what your looking for with the touring and good luck with everything else mate.

OE BMW every time for me. Gives every bit as much power as any aftermarket system, lasts as long or longer as any stainless kit (there are E30s around still on their original system), and it fits perfectly. Not necessarily cheaper than stainless though. As far as I'm aware mines on it's original sy...

Andy
Is this definitely on tonight, if it is I'll probably turn up.
Not sure if I'll bring the tourer though it depends on the weather.
Could be a Prius trip...............sorry to use that word....Prius!!!!

Mines a garage queen, it wasn't intended that way it was origianlly purchased to be a bit of a hack, dog transporter and potentially future classic if we got lucky. However I think we got lucky so were careful about what goes in it these days but the dog still enjoys his little forays out in it. I l...

Here's mine in Mugello Rot

Taken in the lake district on a pretty dull day so it's not as vibrant. When the sun shines there's no

colour like it for intensity. In my opinion of course!

Eko .... cheers pal Tried realoem and as you point out it only produces info for the month and year in which case it was bang on for mine, I never knew until now that the 316i lux was built for europe until Feb 2004. Following your other suggestion I went onto vindecoder and discovered the accurate ...

Cheers eko

Everyday's an education!

I'll give it a go.

Should I be looking for anyhing in particular date wise?

eko wrote:Out of interest what is the build date of you Touring?

I've honestly no idea! I've never given it that much consideration, I'm assuming it's just one of the last to roll off the line!
However if anybody can enlighten me further it could be interesting to find out!

Been out for a few hours in the sunshine, no issues as per normal, dinner taken at a relatives and then back home to tuck away in the garage. So now were out to a party........I really like day's like these and yes it's great to get them back out.
