about the original E30 design,what would it be.

Post Sat Dec 10, 2011 9:52 pm

rust rust rust lol

Post Sat Dec 10, 2011 10:15 pm

Yep, galvanised shell would have been a good improvement!

Adjustable steering column for rake and reach please?

Oh and a quicker rack!

Post Sat Dec 10, 2011 10:23 pm

All of the above plus a centre arm rest that doesnt look like its from halfords!

Maybe the engine swappers would like to have more room around the steering column / linkage.

A better rhd brake servo setup would be great allongside a quicker rack, the entire rhd conversion seems a bit half arsed.

Adjustable rear track & camber, without resorting to bushes

Accessible rear brake pipes without dropping the fuel tank

Agreed! The standard steering rack is woeful.

Better tailgate design on tourings.

Post Sun Dec 11, 2011 9:21 am

i've never found the rack a problem, if the injection system on the 6 pots didn't fire 3 injectors at a time the economy of the M20 would no doubt be alot better as your not throwing 66% of the fuel away!

The Headlight performance during darkness.

Better headlights, sort the rust issue, more engine choice, electric rear windows on coupes

Post Sun Dec 11, 2011 2:14 pm

16" bbs cross spokes staggered like the alpina's

steering rack/column is easily sorted, rust can never truly be solved, head lights is a simple upgrade, when i m50 management mine ill do a full write up making that a nuts and bolts job.

4 stud is one of the issues thats not so easy to sort until someone solves that it limits our oem break and wheel options.
the rear end semi trailing arm design is dire, would love a proper multi link rear end.

was just messing, I remembered the toyota avensis advert? where the guy gives his work mates a lift and they are really impressed

but have to try and fault it somehow and hence the phrase

Post Sun Dec 11, 2011 6:15 pm

un-crackable dash

also a small electric heater so that on cold winter mornings, hot air blows straight away to de-ice the car

Post Sun Dec 11, 2011 6:28 pm

The standard (non sport) gear box ratio's!

Post Sun Dec 11, 2011 7:18 pm

^^ 320 box boss.

i find mine is blowing hot after about 1 min or half a mile.

Post Sun Dec 11, 2011 10:09 pm

i wouldn't change a thing !

Post Sun Dec 11, 2011 10:12 pm

I would like to change it so it looked more like a P reg clio

Post Sun Dec 11, 2011 10:22 pm

Split folding rear seats, quicker rack, better anti corrosion design.

Post Sun Dec 11, 2011 10:30 pm

As is.

Like most things in life, we love the faults as much as the rest, why should a car be different.

Edit
Its attraction by a certain type of knuckle dragger.

Post Sun Dec 11, 2011 11:03 pm

Rear lights lifting up with the tailgate on Tourings to give better access.

not if i get a sticker on it first, then it will be genuine alpina and sell for 3x price...now that's just a hairdryer ady! i meant something a little more "installed". i remember seeing this option on a peugeot 306 gti6....basically, as soon as the car was switched on, hot air was available through the normal vents with no extra kit to be seen...i know its french, but it's still a good idea! i would have thought the scandinavians would have thought of it....

split rear seats already mentioned would be on my list for sure

didn't foreign "motorsport" cabs have the option of staggered 15inch bbs'?

I've seen this on a E39 525d. Its called an Aux heater. In my E34 you can program the ventilation to come on when you set it on the OBC, but no heated.

The hideous pile of junk sunroof, what a crap idea and dare I say it BMW could have done with a lesson on corrosion protection from the French.
