As previously stated, get the car running right with a thorough service (remember 02 / lamda sensors are service items) check hoses, clean icv - have a look at your bentley manual You could also get the injectors ultrasonically cleaned? I found my e30 ran smoother when using the 99 octane petrol (so...

e30s started with a 320i 2 door daily. Then I got another mostly broken 320i to fix #1, sold 320i, got Lachs 325iX touring, 318i moredoor for spares, 325ix more door (crashed & sold), 325iX diamondschwartz touring personally imported from Austria (now sold). Lachs 325iX touring is still in the back ...

They do...an M50 2.5 is approx 25% more efficient than an M20 2.5... But to get 28mpg from an E34 iX you must drive like Miss Daisys' chauffeur! Around town I was getting <20mpg and the very best I saw on a 60-70mph motorway cruise 2-up was 27-28mpg!! I bet you have a t-shirt with the slogan "drive...

Gary bought an armrest, phoned to get payment details as I requested in my post and paid via paypal quickly - Thanks very much! Hope you enjoy it!

Baz bought wheels, spacers, wheel caps and goodridge hoses from me - good comms, paid cash, many thanks

Hope your wheel refurbishment goes well!

Bought z3 2.8 trailing arms from me, again paid asking price by paypal. Great comms many thanks

so i see but i can get a complete ti rear end for half that! You get what you pay for Lee!! :) The 318ti rear end was designed to handle the output of a sub 2.0 being driven by a hairdresser!! The 2.8i z3 trailing arms have reinforcing webs etc to handle the extra ponies and enthusiastic driving As...

the proper bolt on way is to swap complete E30 M3 gear over, it isn't cheap but this is the proper way of doing it. The other way is to use the trailing arms from an E36 318ti compact that has the disc rear brakes and then E36 M3 EVO front arms/hubs/legs etc I have the rear trailing arms from a 2.8...

Don't forget to have the cylinders honed too :D and don't forget to stick to your plan! There are loads of "while I'm doing this I might as well"... (performance camshafts, BBTB, exhaust headers, head work, sump baffle, millers mass air meter instead of afm, painting the block / inlet manifold etc ...

JBH bought a z3 shifter from me, paid quickly with good communiction - a top buyer!

Thanks (why not have a look at the reto bmw website

)

All the best Steven

Okey dokey, Bump. Will the weld on adjustable camber/toe tabs make up for the dodgy tyre wear from a modest drop? Or are they more hassle than there worth on a standard car? Cheers Chris Hi Chris, e30tech.com have 11 pages of discussion on this ! http://www.e30tech.com/forum/showthread.php?t=80410 ...

Just bought some rear springs and a touring rear wiper arm / motor / cap.

Great price, great comms, great guy!

Thanks Marc, wish the girlfriend wasn't in the car so I could have gone for a spin with you in the 2.7 sport you're selling! Good luck with this sale and the e34 525i sale!

I'm curious if folks on this list who drive an e30ix have changed up their rims for aftermarket ones? I'd also like to know if you sized up to 16's or 17's and what offsets they are. I've read that the 15" ix rims have a 41mm offset, unlike the rest of its e30 brethren. Prices and where you got the...

Hey, you could use ebays find a wheel tool - you enter the rim width, offset and number of studs and away you go... you may find wheels for a front wheel drive jap car may fit...

Good luck

handpaper / guys do you mean the where propshaft enters the transferbox?

Moonlite motorwerks do a spacer for the front prop shaft http://www.moonlitemotorwerks.com/driveshaft

I had the same problem - working only on speed 4. Mine was cured by taking out & cleaning the little coil that resides on the fan behind fan cover, behind the firewall (accessed from the engine bay). I think it was number 19 on http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E30/Touring/Europe/325ix-M20/LHD/M/198...

Hello all, After making my head hurt researching on t'internet I thought I'd ask you guys... I'm happy with my 89 325i motronic but is there a contactless way to distribute the spark to my M20 plugs? I don't want to change to mega squirt etc but want to replace the rotor arm / distributor with somet...

Guys - Please don't shot me down about this question, I'm trying to learn here! Turbo Brown on e30tech http://www.e30tech.com/forum/showthread.php?t=48288&page=21 states " I had custom pistons with the pin moved up 4.2mm, the 84mm stroke crank and 135mm rods. It's worth checking whether the piston ...

Good plan, Another advantage of the 2.8 is not having to deck the block meaning no need for a vernier pully to adjust the timing and dont go for standard bore sizes i wish i hadn't with hindsight... Goosie -When you say you the above, do you mean you would bore out the cylinders (fit larger pistons...

I believe head gaskets = Elring

As above please?! Are TRW rockers as good as the original e30 M2025 / Febi Bilstein items?

Thanks in advance!

How much would you charge for the thicker M20 head Gasket please?

Thanks

Hello! Not sure if this is the right place but Essex libraries have copies of the Bentley service manual and Andyboys e30 restoration bible to borrow! If you not in Essex I believe the libraries interlend between themselves. There may be a charge. Well worth reviewing before shelling out the readies...

Thanks for the replies guys - Motormec have quoted £92.27 for a 323i camshaft made by Febi Bilstein. After assaulting the Febi website, Febi say a 323i e30 1985 cam is 252 degrees! And the 1989 e30 325i one is 260 degrees - I thought the 325i one was 255 degrees??? confused.com Hi Toby, My (engine) ...

Hello! Not sure if this is the right place in the 'zone but is it true that e21 / early e30 323i cams are 260 deg and slot straight into the 885 head?
Thanks in advance...

I would recommend Toby as a buyer - good communication, a pleasure to deal with and actual turned up!

Hope you enjoy the sport seat!

1991, just started secondary school and there was a diamond black 325i 2 door with BBS wheels. It was cool and belonged to the coolest teacher there - Mr Barnes.

if you're looking for a 325iX, i would VERY HIGHLY avoid autotragics. they are slow and really takes the fun away from driving an E30 or a BMW for that matter. the other issue with the iX auto's is how the auto tranny fluids seep into the transfer-case causing issues. i have an 88 325iX and it's on...
