what kind of condition is it in? any pics???

uh oh. the wire isnt shorting as i checked it and it seems fine. i found a couple of rocker cover bolts had broked off, thus the cover is a little loose. could this account for the loss of oil pressure? the oil seems really smokey when i open the oil cap, thanks for your advice here, i have a bad fe...

hi there, the needle was in the red. however. today i changed the water pump and its fine. the problem now is the oil pressure light has come on and the car stalls at low revs... plus there wwas loads of bluish smoke comin out of the exhaust at low revs. the light comes of at high revs. what the hel...

the car isnt using any coolant as far as i can tell. theres no oil in the water or mayonnaise around the oil cap ( i took off the rocker cover and it was no mayo anywhere.) however, where i found water leaking into the throttle body there was mayonnaise.ive fixed that now by replacing the gasket in ...

there is no drop in performaNCE at all so i'm a wee bit baffled. today i changed the thermostat housing and cleared all the cooling pipes. i replaced several gaskets on all the cooling parts including the throttle body (where the colling bits are) and still no luck. i think i'll change the water pum...

not sure really. i'll check 2moz

my 2.5 12valver is overheating. i have changed the thermostat, and i'm pretty sure the viscous fan is ok. theres some white steam comin out of the exhaust but the engine is runninbg smoothly and revs all the way up. i thought it might be the head gasket but i then found a water hose going from the t...

the gasket on my e34 525i just went (i think) and so while the heads off, i was hoping to swap some bits and bobs to get a bit more power? does any1 have any suggestions on what i could get (reprofiled camshaft etc) and where i could get it. cheers. i havnt yet won the lottery so no mad ideas tho.

i have a 528i and a 525i both e28. they are really good cars in my opinion and i love them. go for it.

yeah, he said he'd take 350 for it so i'll go and kick its tyres later.

oh crap. i feel a bit stupid now. i'll go to the oculist this afternoon. either way... mystery solved. nice one guys

i'll get the VIN tonight but for now... F714SVX??? supposed to be a 520i. 1989.

weird. rac website also thinks the bmw is a vauxhaull nova merit. i have absolutly no plans of becoming a chav.

nice one dude. ill give it a go later.

ive just serviced and done a stage 2 inspection at home on my BM but those orange lights are beginning to annoy me. short of disconnecting the dash can i do any tricks to reset that all?

yeah, i'll scrutenise the v5 and chassis numbers later. its a minter but i dont want to finish with a stolen car. cheers

i might be buying a car later today ( a BMW) but when i put the numberplate into my insurance company website to get a quote it came up as a vauxhaull nova. WTF??? could this car be a ringer? i think i'll check the chassis numbers etc but should i give it a miss?

alrite mate,
i'm from Uccle in bruxelles and my dad's from antwerp. why not buy an e30 anyway, even a 318i can be good fun until you can afford an M3.

problems with bmw is if they looking a bit long in the tooth chances are you'll get pulled by the filth. all it takes is a blown bulb then you'll get producers bla bla bla, if you cant produce the mot's it gets out of hand. having said that i knew a mate who drove a mark 3 golf for 2 years without t...

thanks to a kindly local weilding a hammer i am now forced to replace the front and back windows (or whats left of them). How do i get the old ones out. i have a scrapper which i will take the replacement windows out of.
any tips would be appreciated

alrite dudes. i had a 5 series (2L) as well with those probs. as it got the same engine it may be the same things. basically it might be a combination of things. if you look at the throttle body on the inlet there are water pipes which in my case was leaking (a tiny bit but it all adds up) on to the...

NIQUE LA POLICE

ive just got hold of an m-tec kit in blue, but my bm's silver. ive sanded it right back to the base white (hard work) and filled in any chips and sanded everything smooth. what i want to know is whether i have to sand between spraying layers or when??? apparently after the final coat, i have to wet ...

i had an e34 520i an even though the standard set up was fine, around corners i felt it was lacking. i got some 30mm lowering springs from german swedish for Ãƒ”šÃ‚£70 and put them on in about 2 hours. the improvement in handling was good,(makes the car look better too) and its cheaper than sport sh...

nice 1 smithy.

I've got a 1985 528i so i realise i'm a little out of place here but there arnt enuf e28 owners alive to have our own site.
