What did you do to your E30 today?

[spook]

Drove past it in me Transit.

[zaust]

I looked at mine this morning before leaving for work. As its black I didn't bother when I got home as it was dark.

[suchy]

I washed mine and then drove it. It was cold. It drank lots of fuel. Usual then.

[sunnyr83]

Fitted the arm rest in tonight, sat in the car and had a fag. That's how i do.

[kieran325]

Does anybody actually work ?

It seems most of ya are fixing em through the day.

[jon-m42]

Gave the car a quick run to Tesco's did a little shopping come back parked it on the drive. Took the keys for the E36 325 and went for a quick drive to Hackney Love me the good old east London.

I 'work' by that I mean, I go into the office 9-5, if I do any work is another thing entirely.

Currently working on the car in the evenings.

Last night I adjusted the prop, fitted the diff and other rear drive gear, then found out I have a snapped spring.

[tomislav]

Opened the car, mopped up 3 litres of water out of the rear footwells, got it in the garage, fitted a welded diff, the put it back outside to leak a bit more lol.

Opened garage to look at the 2nd one, sighed cos i know i've got shit loads to do on it, shut the garage.

[sunnyr83]

What speakers did you go for then Diable?

[hennared323i]

Nothing as I am 100 miles away from it at the mo

Got the carpet to take out on Sunday to check the footwells plus confirm where the rear drivers side pocket puddle is emanating from

Then figure out how to get it in the garage.........which is very full of other stuff.

[darkchild]

Gave it a wash and hoover, filled it with petrol and gave it a 60 mile drive. My wife will be adding another 200 miles to it today going to London and back.

[sunnyr83]

Icemans gear?

Also you did realise it was me who gave you way at Bromyard ave earlier yeah or do you always have a massive grin on your face when your driving?

[Morat]

and she's BACK!!!
Actually Autohaus dropped her back yesterday but I didn't have chance to test drive until this evening. What a difference It was the Blue Temp Sensor after all so it's back to rock steady 750 rpm idle, no hesitation off-idle with full or part throttle. In fact, she's now got a thoroughly modern feeling throttle which I didn't realise the E30 could manage. Awesome. I'm really glad that I've got a proper BMW specialist garage in the area with two Master Techs (or ex-master techs I suppose) who grew up on E30s

byron fitted mt 2.5 engine, took the 1.8 rattler out. Fitted mtech badges, gave it a clean, snapped accelerator cable from being too heavy footed. Ordered rh topline wheels.

Plans are fit new wheels, fix electric roof, fix passenger side electric mirror, stop boot leaking, fit passenger wing and door, fit mtech2 pods and skirts, full respray, then job finished. Factory fresh.

Not too far to go then

[Jesus325iTouring]

I looked at mine today and thought,what a fooking mess,zipped the poly tunnel back up and went to work.

[BATTS91]

I bodged mine today , had scraping abd clocking from rear , turned out the pin that holds one of the handbrake shoes on the back plate had ripped through the hole .

Sooo i cable tied that mofo , pushed cable tie through hole in shoe and back plate and put another on that cable tie to secure it ! Job jobbed until its off road in couple of weeks !

[Morat]

Did about 50 miles today, car ran as sweet as you like. So chuffed. Also, OBC is now showing 21.7 mpg instead of 17.5 - check your blue temp senders folks! I was getting poor mpg long before I had any running issues.
Apologies to people whose economy figures I disbelieved in the past!

[verde]

Stripped even more off it with james' help, New door sorted with a nice seal so it wont leak.

[kieran325]

I went out in the M3 yesterday, filled it to the brim with super unleaded and had fun for the afternoon. I'm going to go out for an early morning hoon on New Years Day when the roads are quiet

[jonesy318]

finally got the wiring loom completely out so now just a rolling shell, engine bay nearly ready for paint, still so much to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[alexdejonghe]

Inhaled vast quantities of petrol vapour, mopped up puddles of petrol pissing all over the drive/road & eventually snipped the perished fuel breather pipe, refitted it and jobs a good'un! The 6 hour drive to North Wales tomorrow will test this 'repair'....

[Craggy73]

We made sweet love... no, I mean I removed the mtech 2 body kit ( I always get them two things mixed up!)

[sunnysr]

Started taking all the bits off the engine ready to take it out later in the week when i get more time ,im going to take the engine and box out in a one`r i think that will be the easiest way ,also painted some of the bits i have welded .cant wait to actually drive this thing .

[magpie]

engine and box out in one and put back in the same way is the way to beat these turds into submission
