E30 Zone

leading on from another post I replied to, what modern upgrades have you fitted to your E30 if any

I have the following......

• Replaced my cigarette lighter with a flush fit twin USB socket
  
  Head unit that can link to my ipod/iphone
  
  Remote Central Locking
  
  Full Closure unit for my windows so they close when I lock the car
  
  Basic Parrot blue tooth kit which you cant even see but works very well.
  
  HID headlights
  
  Most bulbs replaced with LED's as they last longer give off better light and use less power

In the future I plan to upgrade my suspension and my brakes and would like a more up to date engine

Ive added an M52 engine, M3 Brakes, suspension, arms etc, E36 rack conversion so if i choose to can drive economically but that rarely happens as i just love the sound.

Love the look of this.

Flat wipers.

You seem to have forgotten the springs

That looks a bit too low for my liking. Does it not rub the arches ?

which bluetooth set was that? i would be interested to know ow it works. does it use the stereo speakers?

Link here to arch work build.

And in keeping with the thread, ive also added a sony bluetooth/usb/aux head unit as it still had its original "pull out" tape player.

DAB radio, 6 speed box, air conditioning, 37mpg if I try really hard, 280hp

What 6 speed did you use and which diff ratio? Thanks.

If this counts as an upgrade ?

Dam nice seats there!

just found out my central locking doesn't work on my newly purchased e30, so good excuse to upgrade to remote central locking

I would find out why it doesn't work first.

A current Tax Disc.

I'm not allowed to upgrade my e30

But I have found a receipt to say 4 chrome arches were bought once upon a time! - luckily, they've gone...

280BHP sounds good. Which engine?

I think Dan has an Alpina B3s which is a 3.3l engine

E36 B3 which is a 3.2

A B3S is a 3.4 from an E46 and the earlier E46 B3 is 3.3.

HTH.

Hids, iPod headunit, synthetic oil, occasionally e34 wheels.

I think that's about it.

Ah yer, that's what I meant Barry.....honest

I'm going to go against the grain here are ive tried to keep mine as period as possible going as far as having an 80's sound system complete with tape holder.

An alarm with remote locking is the only modern concession but thats over 10 years old and is more a requirement or was for insurance purposes.

Parking sensors!! Found some little 18mm diameter in matt black and they work perfect.
