MugelloRot M52 Touring>Selling up!!

[DanThe]

Put your vin into realoem

[Dezzy]

I am using 325 front atb with sport bushes and extra holes for tighter fit and E30M3 rear

Car feels great in the twisty's.

[ed325i]

I think the touring bars are the same or better Tony

The 6 cylinder convertible front ARB should be 21mm which will be an upgrade.

Ed

Do you know what the M40 touring one is as standard?

All tourings had 20mm front and 13.5 rear

Not really worth the hassle then for a mm so will leave that till I can afford some aftermarkets.

Decided im going to paint the centre of the wheels in Black.
How it will look remains to be seen but as im not the biggest fan of these wheels I have nothing to lose really.
Ive already cleaned and started prepping them,just got to pick some etch primer and masking tape up tomorrow.

Back on BBS`s for now

[Dezzy]

That looks 100 times better IMO

[eko]

Well I wanted Black centres and I got Black centres but guess what......I dont like it now
Im hoping they will grow on me over the next few days if not might show them the Nitromors.

[Jhonno]

I like the black centres.. Maybe Nogara/Dolphin would have been less extreme.

[shedrool83]

The borbet's looked better before imo Tony .

[DanThe]

BBS FTW, and I bet it drives better

I'm not sure on the black centres either tbh

One of those things mate,good idea at the time and all dat
On the plus side I did buy my old BBS back complete with caps for £45...that is the BBS I swapped for the Borbets originally

Keeping the BBS on along with a set of decent tyres is the sensible choice but 15`s just dont fill the arches up enough IMO.
Hartge,Alpina,BK,MiMs,BBS,Borbet....been there done that,whats next I wonder

Like I said im not too bothered really.To be fair they are pretty much fooked anyway I think.I know atleast one has a buckle,all have knackered lips and one has a flat spot
Oh and all 4 tyres are wearing badly on the insides

Can I fit 225`s on the BBS`s if I kept those?

[78gizmo]

I quite like the black centres, stick with them for a little while, they might grow on you.

This is 225/50.





Cool reg on this one ^

[Blitz]

This 325i sport had standard 205/55/15 at the front but 225/50/15 at the rear. I might try this combination.



Also E32's and E34's with 15" BBS's had 225's on a 7J wheel which is the same width as E30's.

[DanThe]

Nice tyres here - http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... 37#2168237

[eko]

Right ive decided that the ugly Black Borbets are going.
They are pretty much fooked anyway same as the tyres now so ill sell them as `fit for abuse` wheels
Still not sure wether to buy new tyres for the BBS or get another set of 16`s yet,just looking whats about for now.

Car is running perfectly except for one issue.
revs seem to take a good while to drop from around 1500.
Idles and runs lovely and ive looked for airleaks to no avail.
Ideas?

[B15NAC]

you say you have looked for air leaks have you sprayed any brake cleaner around the inlet manifold?

[eko]

Yes done that

[B15NAC]

idle control valve dirty?

[eko]

idle control valve dirty?

Would that cause my problem of slow to drop revs?
As said it idles perfectly with no hunting etc and revs up well with no flat spots.

[B15NAC]

i would say it may be the cause!! you got no air leaks and mat read it a few weeks ago so you no its ok so maybe worth a clean!

[eko]

Ill pull it off and clean it anyway.
Any other suggestions?

[DanThe]

Check the throttle valve is shutting fully
