hi all was wondering if anybody knows where i can locate this relay in the picture? item number 6. It is used for the re-circ/fresh air function. http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/7577/20df0.th.png I have the very very rare options "automatic heater control" winkeye winkeye :cool: which isnt workin...

Helloooo!!

As an example the E30 M3 has one of the most primitive and basic ECU's around. Drive one with a Uni-Q fitted configured for no MAF and carbon airbox. You'll think it's been mapped by a manufacturer by the way it starts up and runs. Sal I disagree.....Its Bloody awesome!! Fuel AND ignition timing wi...

I'd be tempted to say your coil overs are too stiff for road use, more useful for track work.. your effectively floating above the road surface which is giving you this feeling. how can 1 determine from upgrading to softer springs or replacing ARB with smaller diameter roll bar (22/21mm front to 19...

me thinks over sized?? overstiffned unless matched to shocks springs even. i have hr bars and coilovers and the m3 cant corner well at all, understears then tends to overstear.. scary. with some research people reports the bars are over stiffening the body hence the effect. not sure but im testing t...

i had a 325i sport dynoed at 190bhp, was awesome, grunt all over the revs and was a hoot to drive! against a standard 325i left it for dead through the gears! I had a dastek unichip and maf, removed this with just a schrick cam, bbr chip and still through the gears was quicker through the gears than...

hey, not sure how it is on the cloth, but i fitted some heated elements to a set of leather sport seats. the elements are positioned in the 3 vertical groves of the seat you have to undo the seat from the frame, split the bottom and top part of the seat, then slowly take apart the cloth/leather from...

I have got a hid kit to and looking to do a proper conversion which is E46/TT projectors with the proper d2s bulb bases, d2s bulb and the bosch ballast (REAL!), new parts not second hand. From what i have found out you can put hid kit into our e30 as they have projectors, and may have good results w...

hi on the headlight hydraulic adjuster does any know the part number on the clip that clips on the knob screw and attaches to the headligh chasis to hold/stablise (stop it from moving) the headlight?? or know what i can use? problem i have is the headlight is loose in the surround and found out this...

thanks brian, seems there are 2 relays that control the motors.

very nice site

hi does anybody have a wiring diagram for the re-circ fan system on the e30? when i turn re-circ button on the fan's turn on (with the blower speed set to 0) re-circ light also turns on but the 2 motors on both sides of the matrix box control the air flap do not move. from memory the wire colours go...

hi Thanks for the replies. from memory the noise does get faster but is quietened down by the engine noise, the noise is comming from the back of the engine nearer to the bulk head, but cant make out if its from the intake manifold side or the exhaust side. I think its more from the exhaust side?? A...

hi folks dad e39 523i is making a strange noise, best way to describe it sounds like a low quack quack (duck), on idle you can hear it cealrly as you rev then engine the noise still there but same level (dosent get louder or quiter). dosent consume any oil, no power loss. any ideas?i read the cats g...

thanks.

oh well

what colour glass tint did BMW do them in?

standard? Brown?? Blue?

ive seen normal standard non tint and blue? but brown tint?

question, i remember reading somewhere (cant reember where) BMW original heated mirrors on the e30, contain a resistor (small box on the back of glass, my glass mirror has this) that cause the heating function to stop working? can anybody confirm true or false about the resistor? because i gots 12v ...

has the car ever started? is it intermitent? if so check water in the ECU.

common fault, water/moisture builds up in the ecu and causes this to happen.

If the re-circulation button is pressed there's two small motors that adjust some additional vents, these close off the outside air and cause the fan to draw in air from above the front foot wells. There should be a wiring plug above the pipes for the heater matrix that may be worth a look if you c...

very very helpful guys, appreciete the replies. No filter. Is your fan actually turning on position 1? The resistor could have failed, or the blower motor might be partially seized. This is quite common - the motor bearings benefit from a couple of drops of light oil every ten years or so. Remove th...

hi guys, got a question about a/c on e30. how does the re-circ button work? when i press the button it lights up and turns the fan on speed 1? even if the fan switch is off? but i dont hear no motor movement noises? any ideas? also on fan speed one, the air vent going toward the windscreen is rubbis...

damn, thought it would be a fiddly job, nuts and bolts and wires all over.

my steering wheel has slight play init and was advised it those bushes causing it.

anybody got phil crouch's (ex-brids recommened expert?)contact details may have to pay him a visit.

thanks.

hi has anybody ever replaced the steering spindle beering on the upper steering column? http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=1232&mospid=47263&btnr=32_0439&hg=32&fg=30&hl=16 item number 10 highlighted red. i belive this is the part that causes the play/wiggle in the steering wheel, while dr...

Hmmm! That's the worst one to get at. It's located just below inlet ports 2 and 3. i.e. 1/2 way back the left side of the engine under the inlet manifold and is not the easiest place to get. To test it you measure the resistance between it's two terminals. These figures are actually measured off a ...

you stil got the hole made tool u used?? if so can i borrow :) send a pint your way ! :D would love to lend you it dude but the studs were bent in to L shapes when we finished the job (over a year ago), i think we went through 4 -5 studs :roll: did trailing arms and sub frame bushes. nearest tool s...

Exact method we used.... :cool: worked a treat... got pics of how?? or anything lol sounds interesting just dont get what u mean by m10 threaded bar and two metal plates?? how do you arrange it etc.. ? made this quickly with my not so good photoshop skills, it works like a ratchet. you tighten the ...

and i hear the rear subframe bushes are a pain in the backside? if so ill give this job to a friendly garage, if not il do it myself. any ideas? If you fit poly bushes ie powerflex you don't need any special tools, a bit of M10 threaded bar and two metal plates will do Exact method we used.... :coo...

ive had powerflex (purple?) bushes all over in the rear end, trailing arms and sub frame, no squeeks at all, there about 1 year and half old. first 2/300 mile ride the car is like on stilts, you can feel the road surface and fair amount of road noise is transfered through the car (personally i didnt...
