Can anyone suggest how to test if the boot lights are staying on with the boot shut?

To be honest even the topgear boys tried to say that e30s are a handfull,they were spining out left right and centre(staged of course) trying to beat the newer 325,i bet scared a few people off.

Just drive it sensably and yl have no problems!!

What you mean "what of it?"

I remember a report being done.
Above was posted the cars spun, i was trying to remember if in the report they quoted the bushes were all fooked.

Is that OK by you. :roll:

There was no report, just a figure to "restore" them.

just read this thread- well most of it, haven't got enough life left to read "straight line at 10 mile an hour in mildly damp conditions and car spun 720, and only the central reservation 400m away saved my life- holy sh*t E30's should all be named 'Christine'..."

Jesus, I don't hang around in mine and I've never experienced any of this! Do you all drive like complete w*nkers throwing the car everywhere without any thought to smoothness, poise, conditions, what's up ahead, etc???

I'm no driving hero but c'mon common sense to any petrol head surely is understanding what a car does underneath you??

They only gave a final cost I think?

No mention of what work they'd quoted for though iirc.

I can remember exact prices but 6k upto about 10-11k for the worst rings a bell.

For that sort of coin I reckon they'd be doing more than oil and filter
