Hey guys, I have been looking at a 1987 E30 320i that has the facelift plastic fenders. I thought these were put on facelift models from '88 onwards to my knowledge. Can anyone confirm this or was the change over date late in 1987 for plastic bumpers to be introduced? I only query because i have noticed the car also has the older style steering wheel as well. Any light to shed on this would be helpful, cheers!

Thanks guys for the feedback! I was looking at 16's initially but was offered the 17's for a decent price so was considering them. I looked up the wheel size and got a couple of pictures and liked the look but wasnt sure of the offset that these would be: Yea Lucan if you could please let me know your clearance that would be great and was that +7 all round? What suspension setup are you running at the moment as well? Cheers.

Hey guys, I've been looking at a set of BBS RS 17x8.5 all round with offset of +15 for my E30 325i. I'm just wondering if these would fit as I'm a bit of a noob on wheels especially with offset . Any help or ideas would be appreciated especially tyre size as well. My car isnt lowered at the moment but I have a set of KYB shocks and Vogtland lowering springs to be installed. Cheers.

Thanks Brent and antil33t for the quick responses!! Can now order the part Cheers, Aza

Hey guys, I was searching for a throttle position switch online and there are 2 listed for my 1990 E30 325i. One is for cars with EH Control Trans and the other is for cars without EH Transmission What does that mean? My vehicle is auto, how can I tell if it has EH transmission or not? Cheers Aza

Hey, Has anyone brought any of the white face dial kits from Ebay at all? The lights on my '90 325 are rather poor and wouldn't mind a change in colour as well from the faded red/orange . Ebay Link Any thoughts / experiences on these and other possible items would be helpful.

Thanks i will check glove box and boot lights. Its a brand new battery so shouldnt be the battery

Hey guys, Im having a problem with my '90 e30 325 where if i dont drive the vehicle for a couple of days then the battery always goes flat and i have to jump start the car. This has happened three times now. What are possible reasons for the battery to constantly go flat or be drained? Any help would be great, thanks.

Thanks for that guys, yea I deff think I iwll be seeking further quotes as even I thought that was rather expensive for the work that needed to be carried out. Cheers

I thought as much think I might try elsewhere, also another quick question there Glenn if you dont mind.. How much would you be looking at for a replacement Idle Air Control Valve? I was quoted $540.00 for part and labour and also advised a Coolant Flush would be need at an additional cost of $93.50?

As far as im aware he told me only bushes are cracked on the front lower control arm?

Hey guys, I'm in Sydney ex Auckland but just thought I would ask the question as I'm bit of a newbie with suspension. My mechanic that looked a my car advised that the bushes on the front lower control arm are cracked and this requires the whole front lower control arm to be replaced, does this sound correct? Also I know its Aussie dollars but he has quoted $600 AUD to do this?? Cheers, Aza

LMAO @ Ryan S...

Just came across this whilst wasting time on tardme, looks hot to me .. Link Cheers, Aza
