and love it to bits, its an '89 320i but i have a few ideas to make it a bit more of a looker, can you guys help push my mind in the right way?
yeah i have been told this but the majority of the people i know with HID's havent got self leveling lights and never had any questions asked, if i go that way i suppose i'd have to go back to standards for MOT.Gouki wrote:I thought HID's are illegal to fit unless the car has self levelling and headlamp washers? Which clearly from this era, these cars never had them!
Not sure about self-levelling but the headlight washers were definitely available for E30's.Gouki wrote:I thought HID's are illegal to fit unless the car has self levelling and headlamp washers? Which clearly from this era, these cars never had them!
Well then clearly the place doing your MOT isn't doing its job properly. They are illegal to fit on to a car to replace halgogen bulbs thats a fact.Sanchez wrote:Well ive passed MOT's with them and no wash wipe or self leveling. Got mine due next week as well.
Still irrelevant as its not legal to fit them to any E30.Ranchero wrote:Not sure about self-levelling but the headlight washers were definitely available for E30's.Gouki wrote:I thought HID's are illegal to fit unless the car has self levelling and headlamp washers?

All it needs is a new front lip and some 15" bbs
Are you changing the wheels?
Pretty much this. Love the colour. Those wheels are horrible.Jim320i wrote:The eye brows make it look sad.

Are they a straight fit on then? They'll look much better than the wheels currently on it. I know its the norm and it may look like most other E30's, but there is a reason they are on so many, they make them look spot on everytime...Semperboy wrote:ive got a set of 15" vauxhaull alloys, the bbs replicas but im not sure whether to stick them on or notJim320i wrote:The eye brows make it look sad.

vauxhall wheels won't fit without a spacer (wrong offset) even though the stud pattern is right! You'll find they are an ET35 or 38 (stamped on the back) you want and ET20 or thereabouts.. They will go on but they'll sit right under the car and possibly catch on full lock!
quite like the tuning-rs one aswel
