E30 Zone

And apart from the fadded paint, she's solid. Can;t moan at £150 at all. Taxed till the end of the month but no MOT. I'l get that sorted on monday with any luck.

One small problem, I'm pretty sure either the Air flow meter or idle control is playing up as it stalls from time to time.

Anyways, heres a quick Pik



I did buy her a small Lip spolier for her today, but thats going onto my nova saloon instead lol as its an exact fit

Looks tidy for the money mate,lets hope the MOT goes well!

Lip spoiler on a `Nova saloon` :eek:ah well i got a couple here if you need one more(also got loads 316i bits if you need)

Anyway mate good luck with the MOT

I know i thought that as well lol

Hello and welcome,

wherabouts are you? I've got an airflow meter that you can have for a fiver, from a 320i but may fit 325i? (correct me if I am wrong people!)

or if you are close enough to me you can come try it for free (the air flow meter of course )

320 and 325 airflow meters have different part no's so may not be compatible but judging by the single exhaust I would bet it's a 316/318 anyway.

Welcome to the zone Rexy

Are you going to keep the car standard or do you have plans for modding it?

I live in Bolton, Near manchester, and its a baby 316i. I've got a friend who works in Eurocarparts. So i'll prob just buy a new one for now and see how it goes. Although, i've found a fair few in the scrap yards which could come in handy.

I don't think i've ever owned a car and left it standard, so hopefully, well once the novas saloon has been finished it's going to be treated to a nice set of euro wheels and lowered. The paint needs a good buff but that isnt much of a problem as i work in a bodyshop.

I know i should ask in the tech section, but can anybody tell me the PCD/offset of the 4stud E30 please?

Car looks nicely looked after and standard. Can't beat red when it's waxed up with the sun reflecting off it

4x100
57mm centre bore
Offset for 7j wheels is 24, but can't remember what it is for the 6j ones you have on there at the moment

Red looks great after lots of arm work with the polish n wax but it will soon fade again in this hot sun, mine lasts about six weeks on average and then you can see it starting to go.

The bonnet is pink, I'm going to be spraying a full set of bumpers/sideskirts etc at work over the weekend so i think i'll get the old buffer out and some G3 then buff polish it and hey presto.

Mine is a real oddball then, 320 with single tailpipe still it helps decieve the local saxo boys who all think its a 316.... cant think who told them that


hello and welcome.... looks a cracker for the money

Nice, ohnest car.

I had 6.5J x 15" BK somethings on my old car and they were 15mm offset
