[shedrool83]

Cheers Toby i'm pleased how it looks now.

This...







to help the under bonnet heat generated by the top mounted turbo

[darkchild]

Treated it to a wash now the new donk is fitted and running smoothly. Noticed a bit of peeling underseal so ordered some 3M08537 sealer to complete the necessary repairs.

[pukar]

sell it

[jimbom30cab]

fitted a Kenlowe 16 inch fan to keep things cool under the bonnet as that M30 gets HOT !!

Also fitted a vacuum gauge and measured 20 inches on idle which i'm well happy with

Replacing the CL relay tomorrow

[FinalD]

Drove it to BMW to collect some parts, went and picked up some new tools too, all well and good. Waited for the postman to deliver my lockheed washers, unfortunately they didn't turn up. A week after ordering and nothing yet I've had other deliveries, RM really do annoy me.

Looks like I'm going to be driving to RR13 tomorrow with no handbrake and a slightly rubbing shoe, great.

[Sanchez]

washed, polished n waxed ready for Cranleigh show tomorrow.

Company called Martrim, cannot remember what I paid but it was the cheapest I could find on the web. The photo's do not do it justice, it looks fantastic and the areas I where I f00ked up are well hidden.

[Speedtouch]

Thanks. I may get some of that to re-do my Peugeot 306 Cabriolet's door cards...

[oomz1975]

Replaced throttle body,
Replaced throttle position sensor,
Sorted a rough running issue after doing the above,
Fitted new wiper blades,
Got the rear wiper working again,
Checked & adjusted tyre pressures,
Patched up exhaust tailpipe...(looking for a good rear section)

[FinalD]

Drove it over to a mates, drove back and had an odd knock/vibration that feels like it is coming from the near side rear when in second between 2000 and 3000 revs.....early start tomorrow before heading to Prescott, might have to go in the Focus.

[Farbbm]

Took mine to the Gaydon BMW festival on Sunday, any one else go?

[FinalD]

Nobody went...

Degreased, soda blasted, aluminised...

Thinking of doing this as a side line, keep your eye on the "for sale" thread if you are interested in sprucing up your engine bay for cheap.

[Lurch320i]

Wasn't today but earlier this week i clay barred the sport to get rid or the brake dust that had rusted into the paint.felt like glass once i finished.polished and waxed too.

Got to do the other side tomorrow then fit the new back box and brake discs pads all round

[Cloggy Saint]

Very nice Gavla, what is aluminised though?

a word I made up...

It has been coated with a durable replicated aluminium coating.

[kieran325]

Took the M3 out for a 32 mile drive and now it's parked up in the garage.

I've lost all enthusiasm for my E30's just recently

[elijah318is]

Bought an m60 engine and 6 speed box

[jamlid]

Fitted the 325i badge back on the back in the factory position and installed a Z3 shifter. Pain in the arse to get the gearbox side circlip off the rod!

[beemerbird]

I just drove it today, but earlier in the week I used it to take three loads of garden / builders type rubbish to the tip. I appear to have now turned my car into a rolling zoo for small creatures, as I've had to get rid of a bloody huge moth, three spiders, and I know there's an earwig missing in action

Oh, and I was greeted by another set of cobwebs when I got in the car today

Not quite today but Friday, ordered new bowden cables and a set of MTEC springs

Part one of the shopping list for the suspension rebuild.

[ImysE30]

Bought some new wheels for it

[tomislav]

F**k me jamlid!

I tripped over mine, again, bent and broken in the garage. Really must get it stripped and get a new shell.

[pac1982]

Fitted a new alarm with remote central locking a full closure module for the windows, also replaced my missing hand brake switch

[scjimbo]

Well after nearly 3 years of polishing, powder coating, painting, stripping and fixing. I finally drove it. And it was awesome.

[StuBeeDoo]

I removed some more stuff from mine. Not much left now, just the LPG, engine, towbar, steering wheel and Scorpion. The remains should be getting weighed-in in a couple of weeks.

[oomz1975]

Drove it to Gatwick & back, collecting family back from holiday.
Looks like the run out has made the old wagon run like a champion.

[willf]

Fitted new windscreen wiper motor, installed rear head rests
