Cars been loosing coolant the last 2 months, just slowly. I assumed it was a leaky hose, probably one of the atshole ones for the heater core. Took the car in for it first service today, and too try hunt down the coolant leak. Dropped the oil, and found my coolant leak.. Head gaskets blown. Not feeling particularly impressed with the wrecker I bought the engine from who assured me they compression test and dont put fuct engines on the shelf when I asked.... In fact im thinking stronger words than not impressed are in order. Not loving bmw at the moment either Anything other than head gasket, studs, and a few random gaskets ill need to pull the head and spend more money on this thing? I couldve well and truely been running a rebuilt mint FJ20ET in this thing for what the M50 has cost now!

+100 My e30/m50b25 sounds way tougher than it actually is, burbles at idle, sounds better than most M3's ive heard while screaming, and over-runs are awesome. I have cheap ass mufflers, single 2.5" exhaust, Coby resonator, chinese turbo muffler (added after as initially was far too loud), and the generic shiny twin tipped euro muffler on the back. I can imagine it'd sound like sh*t without the equal length 6-2-1 headers

Whiteline 100% Fixed front, adjustable rear If ultraracing make their sway bars out of the same cheese based steel alloy they make the strut bars out of I seriously wouldnt bother. Ive put 5000 miles on mine so far, Gets the two thumbs up from me. Total bitch to install them, but worth the cursing. I have the 90Sha poly bushes on everything, 6kg springs with the BC golds (surpise surprise they still havent exploded... ), 215/45/17 tyres. Its not exactly a luxurious ride, but isnt ridiculously harsh, I think its sweet as for a spirited daily driver. The owner of a 750iL might think otherwise obviously

Anyone know the p/n of the M20 heater hose at the back of the head to the lower heater core fitting on an E30? Struggling to identify it on realoem.

Hey, Starter in my E30 M50 is being dicky, anyone got a good nick/rebuilt one? Mines still working, but think the solenoid is on its last legs, so wanna get ready to replace it Its running the standard big starter from the M20B23, but I think the smaller later model starter will bolt up as well. Chur

email Tim at [email protected] He built mine on the car, and they are the sh*t.

Nice, yell out if you want help with wiring the M50, should be the same as my car. http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....showtopic=31249 You wont regret going M50, seriously shedloads better engine too drive than the M20. The numbers on paper dont look that different, but with the right diff ratio etc M50 e30's are surprisingly quick and just feel much happier while getting thrashed! Mates GTt Caldina and 3.0 Legacy 6 speed are no faster than my m50'd e30.

Very very cool.

Sweet that'd be good. Ill PM ya.

You can order both chrome or schwarz retainer things for both prefacelift/facelift, the fronts have the same p/n, the rears are different. The window rubbers are different p/n front and rear between fl/pfl as well. Its got all confusing now I hope this fits together...

According to OEM, nope. Not too sure what the difference is. Prefacelift - 51311913887 Front, 51311913888 Rear Facelift - 51311972248 Front, 51311972249 Rear The front retainer (molding per realoem) has the same p/n on both, but the rears are different...

After both front and rear, the plastic bit that sits in the window rubber. Preferably with the joining clip bits (clips are cheap to ship new though ), must be in good/mint condition. And if anyone has a good source for new window rubbers in NZ, im all ears before I order some from denmark.

Tempting, not too sure how it would go on prefacelift e30 with chrome bumpers (tech 1 kit) though.... Hrmmm Guess theres one way to find out Any other BMW blacks I should gander at? This car, i have got some chrome bumpers for it now (they were originally painted black badly...) - Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Plenty of tread left. Milanzo HZ1's, for taiwanese tyres theyre pretty impressive performance wise. Id keep em for skid tyres, but am running out of room and my flat is looking like an old BMW wreckers at the moment Uploaded with ImageShack.us First in first served

Toying with the idea of respraying my e30 carbon black instead of shwartz, struggling to find a decent pic of an e30 in this colour. Not too sure on if it would work. Anyone got any pics of an E30 in carbon black?

Holy Epic Autotune Batman.

I have two wofable 215/40/17's you can have for a hundy.

Been in nelson last few weeks. Kept spotting an E46 M3 (replica maybe?) with what looked like a carbon bonnet and boot and a big ass spoiler on the back. Other than that everyone in nelson drives an R32 skyline....

PM'd

Didnt C2 2.5's start life as 323's? in the same way as 2.7's were 325's? Or do i have that screwed up. The rego seems fishy to me, as the vin is for a 325i It would either be registered as a 1987 BMW 323i, Or an Alpina C2 2.5, and not an 325i if I have that theory right

The vin doesnt look alpina either, but it does look to have low miles (100k miles)

HAHAHA Thats classic

Wow, what a nutter. Whats a fuct old VR4 with no wof or rego worth? 2K if the engines in good nick? Pity its not an auction, wouldve enjoyed winding this dude up. Wonder if this is also him...
