The girlfriend has just bought an E30 325i SE 'loon and it needs a few bits and peices sorting. Is there any in scrapyards down Somerset way that might have some in? I have tried the Bridgwater one (Next to BMW dealership), but none there. W-S-M near the airfeild, a white touring there but thats it. Was going to try Fritz's Bits past Wellington but I hear they are quite expensive. Always worth a try for myself though.
The car will be a drifter as that's why we bought it and what it's already 'set up' for but want it to be somewhat road legal until the MOT runs out. Oh and it's on cut springs. Pikey fun!
Current issues are:
Left hand indicator doesnt work. Right hand does, Hazards all do, but left doesnt. Changed everything, relays, stalks, hazard switch (twice), fuses etc but must be missing something. Not sure where all the grounds are. Any idea's on this one?
Wouldnt mind some centrecaps for the 15" standard BBS wheels. Have some E34 15" 5stud centrecaps but they don't fit the 4 stud version I don't think. The back of these seem too wide for the 4 stud E30 centre hole to 'clip' in but the overall size of the centrecap is fine.
Also after a pair of the standard 15" BBS 4x100 wheels as spares for the back unless a cheap set of 15's come up...
Welded diff whines - purchased with it already mig spec. Havent checked oil level but I'm not sure if it can be saved even by adding oil if it's already whining very badly.
Anyone recognise it?
So far I haven't done much. Just driveway tinkering. Changed the tyres, all bulbs, fuses, relays (partly to trace the indicator issue, but also to replace blown ones etc), engine oil change, new air filter, plugs, cleaned MAF, hoovered up aload of dirt/dust/rust, ground back some surface rust to see what was left, most were OK. Exhaust blows and there is no Horn. MOT'd till July and if I'm honest the only major concern at the moment is the indicator issue mentioned above. Oh and in our first drive since getting it home last night, the dash backlights and rear screen heater switch have just stopped working, even more reason for me to think its a bad earth. Fuses are fine still. Not looking to spend lots on it tbh. Just if there are some cheaper parts come up we might go for it.
I think washing it will make a vast improvement tbh! (Poor thing, I found pics of it standard on google images!)
