These are from an e36/Z3 and will fit an e30 with no mods?

Hello all, does anyone know if you can source valve lash caps from somewhere in nz? While adjusting the M30 rocker clearance this weekend I found that the exhaust valves for cylinders 1and 2 have custom eccentric bushes. Based on some measurements this looks to have been done to resolve a 0.1 mm out of spec gap (0.4mm when spec is 0.3mm). I have replaced all eccentric bushes but can not use standard eccentrics with these out of spec valves. Otherwise will need to buy the caps from the US.

+1 for Gavin. Very handy as he is in NZ and has decent stock when even BMW are sourcing from Germany. Other than this Pelican Parts I find to be good as they provide 3-4 options for the same part at differing price points. They also source BMW original parts at reduced cost to BMW NZ and often include photos which is good since they are overseas. The only issue with USA sourced parts is that the euro spec parts are often not avalible and I have not yet found a euro supplier with a decent website. Perhaps someone else has?

The M30B35 in my '87 735i is in a sorry state. A very loose banjo bolt has caused oil starvation on cylinders 1-2-3. The cam now has excessive wear to the point of rounding off of the lobes by 1-2mm. The valves may have been hitting the pistons, I am not sure as I do not have a camera to confirm this as yet. So, I am after some advice on the two options I am currently looking at. a. Replacing the cam: As the older M30's (and I have an e28) had known coolant issues I have kept a couple heads in the garage for spares. One is stamped '93 so I expect of course that this is in fact from an e34 or e32. But I believe it to be suspect. Am I right in thinking I can use the cam from the donor head which was also a B35. Is it as simple as checking the stamp on the cam is matching? and do I need to swap the rockers, values over as well?? b. Replace the head: This may be more straight forward however I would need to have the donor head tested as I can not recall the history. And atleast I know I am not having any overheating issues with the current head. Any lessons learnt or suggestions from you would be appreciated. A couple photos, first is a little hard to see but it shows the wear for interest. The second is the stamp on the cam. TIA, Adam

e28 centre console ... is it an aircon version in black/ dark grey with the carpet attached?

Well I do need a replacement dash cluster however I have a 735i... would need the actual Vin. If you put the first 7 in it comes back as an e21.

How about replacing two pumps for one? I found a good write up/ discussion which suggests a TRE-340 in-tank pump is the best solution. http://www.mye28.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=101410&start=100 should add that they do not recommend the Walbro pumps.

How much are you asking for the front? Any repairs on it?

The middle bottom section (between fog lights) is now a flap. Could possibly reinforce with aluminium while I source another. Are you selling the whole kit as I just need the front.

Have one with factory spoiler holes.

Hi Richard, I do not have a dxf but if you can supply the PDF then I can possibly create one. Regards, Adam

Help needed to source an e28 m sport front bumper as I have major damage and there is no simple fix. The bumper repair shop informed me that repairing polyurethane bumpers is impossible because they can not weld the cracks like plastic bumpers. Anything out there or does anyone have a possible lead? I do have spare undamaged body kit parts to offer as a trade.

Foam for sport seats.

Will check that option out online. Was looking to make it as factory as possible.
