Spotted today in Berlin - only seen 1 E30 so far but it’s a nice one 🔥

Will go on trademe in next week, some fresh pics after a vacuum and fusso KOG

Clutch line needs to be straight'ish to go thru to the passage. Guessing you have removed the glove box and pulled back the carpet? Ended up roughly bending it then attaching it to the master cylinder/pedal box and used that to hold it whilst bending it some more around the base, kinda risky but the line was very kinked. Yeah probably easier to remove the Abs module, booster etc to get the soft line in, the grommet is fiddly otherwise. I just set the interlock cable in unlocked position and cut in off near steering column in my E39

... and what was the compression like on the other cylinders ? Manufacturers usually stipulate a minimum compression psi below which the engine is considered worn out. And on a compression ignition engine low compression on all cylinders would be a major contributor to a crank - no start condition. Cheers...

A sports exhaust on a 4 cyl diesel. Why would you amplify the sound of disappointment?

Red 328i coupe e36 with all the fruit and noise, in Milford. Lovely condition plus big spoiler on back, whatever the jacked up ones are called

Welcome, where are you moving back from? I did 12 years in the UK and was part of a active car club (non BMW). We drove to Europe three or four times, attended the majority of the big UK shows, Sana Pod events in the pouring rain, dyno days, engine building weekends, club rates on parts (those days seem gone), drinking and crashing out in our cars etc. plus regular meets in the City for a vindaloo. I appreciate NZ is a small country, but when I moved back towards the end of 2013 I quite shocked at how inactive things had become over here. The club I left had grown weeds. Everyone seemed to have packed up their s..t and moved to Facebook-land where it's easier to post pics of past events than to plan them. I attend a few things locally, Southwards cars n coffee is relatively good. The BMW Car Club also organises pub meets and weekend cafe events in the region which are good. I can't speak to membership as I haven't joined. Check out the Christchurch section of the forum and see if anything is on. Hopefully, if you are motivated, you can make some contacts and get something going. I believe the BMW club were looking for a CHCH person at one point.
