Yeah it is what I run in my two E89's and my AMG. Oil pressure holds high even when hot. Comparable to Elf Comp imo. Make sure your oil filter housing and oil cooler gaskets are up to scratch before the track. They are cheap and you can do them in a few hours with some fiddling.

Sorry to hear that Adrian. Quite active of late with lots of facts and stories to share. Thoughts to his family and friends from all of us here I am sure. We are all closer than we think sharing this hobby/obsession.

I was going to list my manual 130i the other day but held off. The ones on there have not moved in a while. Might wait a few months. Isn't half the country resigning their mortgages at the moment?

$60 at supercheap for the 6ltr.

FRM. Mine do the same on occasion. I've had mine repaired but they eventually corrupt or fail again. Due to their location they corrode. Especially during wet weather.

Takapuna Panel and Paint Marty will look after you. He has been in the BMW race series for a good 10 years now. Knows E30's inside and out.

Have you checked all the fuses? The only grounds around there are the main engine to body grounds. There would be much more wrong if they were disconnected. I can't think of anything that would have that effect in the area you were working on.

Yeah you can get those wraps off Aliexpress for about $15. But you don't need to take the wheel apart to do so. Shouldn't have an effect.

Woh. Prob should have created a new post for that request mate. This thread is 20 years old..

Half the dash is missing. It has broken plastic behind the rear right wheel. A broken quarter window. Auction writing on the windscreen. Def stolen and recovered or attempted to steal it.

Much of the manual conversion kits for the M20 and M4* motors were sucked up by the E30 race series many years ago. You could maybe pick up a Series car cheap which could have rebuilt running gear in it. If I was to own another E30 I would N52 swap it. https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/forum/e30-technical-forums/24v-engine-swaps/n54-n52-swap-forum/9977503-n52-e30-build-thread-for-the-sophisticated-gentleman How about a manual E87 instead? I've had many E30's. I like my crappy manual E87 more than all of them bar my series car.

After reading that Nowack Tuning Report... wow. Are we not looking at this the wrong way around? This isn't a M5 that has been re-shelled. It is a base spec 530 that's been repowered with 23 year old, heavily modified M5 running gear.

I feel like this running gear should have been dropped into something cool when the M5 shell was deemed a loss. Like what Ray has done in the past with the E46 or E87's. The 530 body is just not attractive. Especially at that price.

What's with the manky airboxes?

My E46 did this. One of the screws had backed out and was loose. It kept making contact and honking the horn. I had to take the wheel apart to find it.
