Hi all. I'm looking for a new set of shocks and rear subframe bushes for my 89 e34 530i m30 b30. I read enough to know I don't want monroes and look for surgestions or either oem or bilsteins and where is best to equire budget is factor. As for rear subframe bushes oem I'm thinking as it's a daily driver. Any advice on where to enquire welcome. Cheers

Thanks. its that time again. I just wondering who people have insurance with and rough yearly premium. Also I know I can't replace my car closest would be 535i motorsport spec or 540i manual. Haven't seen what a 89 530i m30 b30 Manual . Recaro Oem sports seats. Sunroof. 540 bumbers side skirts colour matched. 16inch basketweaves new slightly lower springs. Stut braces etc Well maintained and good condition for age all round. I can't find anything for sale that compares apart from the 540i in NZ. I had at 5k but I know couldn't replace for that if at all as it is UK Import.

Cheers Thanks I will. I have enough space to store a bit. Gearbox and converter worth selling engine is gone m20 b25 but think he's decided not to swap to e30. Might be for sale In future if know anyone. Wondering on diff axles etc and what's worth selling or taking straight to tip recycle etc

Can anyone tell me what from front end rear end to save steering arms, sways bars that you can't replace bushings or reuse so just throw away.

Hey yeah manual vents etc has air con in it and mine doesn't but not going there. Tow bar, auto box running gear replica schnitzer rear wing. Yeah will just save motors actuators doors glass etc. Will most likely Scrap most of it hurts cutting one up to pieces

Hello all. This is mainly for the E34 owners out there. Sorry if wrong forum I wasn't sure which forum to post in. I'm wrecking a E34 89 525 Auto mainly to save a few parts for mine which is a daily. Can anyone suggest parts worth saving like switches windrow motors etc for my car for breakage and worst case in the future. And stuff worth just getting rid of or selling. Plan to post parts after its in bits if worth selling them. Sorry long question

Hey. I'm in New Zealand too. Im curious too in any surgestions anywhere in the world. I've found Ebay is great for some parts. Mainly small stuff is worth free postage clips etc rare parts. Wether EBay or BMW parts stores around world. Anything out of USA is ludicrous shipping costs I always contact the seller company to see if will look if they can get postage cost down some will some don't. From the UK I've had better luck with fair postage and Asia. Eg I'm after a lense cover for a engine bay light on my car. Pelican parts have it but a $12 part $45 to send and they won't budge on a envelope size item. Still trying other stores. BM World is great for parts in NZ always had what I needed and fair prices.

Thanks

What are you after for them. Or wanting to keep.

Hi. Yes thanks for the help. I've done a temporary fix on it and will see how long it lasts.

Hi. Ok thank you. Do you have any idea of cost of new?. I just fixed it but for how long I don't know. Drilled a tiny hole into it where snapped and stuck drill bit in with some glue cut to length its working but have driven yet. Will see

Hello My plastic white/clear switch has broken the tip off. So indicators stay on unless I turn off manually I've got a spare switch while unit stalk etc. But can't get it apart to get to plastic part I need does it come apart?. I can't find how to do or picture guide anywhere. This is spare part I have it cut from main wiring harness. Or can you separate stalk assembly to get spare part. I've attached picture. I need that white part and have no idea how to fix. Any advice would be great Cheers

Hi. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what wattage bulb I need for my heater control panel. It's the type which pulls out from front, I've attached a picture. I had it done ages ago and it blew pretty soon after. It's slightly brown around outside of bulb hole to hot so thinking it wasn't the right bulb when replaced before. Cheers

Hi Eagle Ive got it going I went back through from steering wheel. Checked cleaned again and it's going. Thanks for all the advice. On to heater panel light now. Will make another post

I am going for re003s. Got a good quote deal etc. I'm like the look keeping in era of the car. I have some 17s m5 replicas as spare for if when it get ridiculous to buy 16s It's for my daily so the wear rate was factor. Semi rural too bumby road. Cheers for advice

Cheers. No luck is it common with age air horns are dead? I started to attempt to remove grill bits to get to them check connections clean etc but didn't get far. I knew I'd break something not knowing where clips process order etc.

Hi. Yes Oem alloys. Off a e38 e39. 16x8 to wide for the front. Use locator rings on 16x7. Have you had a set of each re003s, ps4s. Will have a look.

Hi all. I'm running 225/55/16 all round on staggered rear 16x8 front16x7 basketweaves . I see the recommended size conversion but have read 225/50/16 is a better size and closer to original diameter. For speed which is out a little.Any one with knowledge would be great. Going for Bridgestone re003 as I've run them for years and cant find fault great tyre but open to try equivalents.Any advice would be great Cheers

Hey all. 89 e34 530i m30 b30 Hello can anyone tell me if my relay is in the front fuse boxes either side engine bay or under the rear seat? And number/details for relay part to check correct. My Horn just stopped working. Fuse good if not relay anyone had the same problem. Cheers

Hi all. It's that time again and looking for advise on what I'd should get for fixed value insurance. 1989 E34 530i se factory manual straight 6 m30b30. Sunroof, factory sports seats 540 skirts bumpers. UK import. Any ideas if prices have stayed stable or up down. Cheers

As I understand from a mechanic who has experience with e30 racecars. Apart from changing the sump they bolt in. Or little work. Ecu is the same. I doing some research into it before advertising but imagine someone in the e30 motorsport and e30 clubs must have done it and can advise. My mechcanic was going to get car for spare engine for his e30 but other projects had priority. Theres no rush I want to check engine drive car before stripping parts I need. I'm not advertising for sale before then. Plenty of time to research im in Wellington.

Anyone have any idea? Decided to wreck the 525

Hello. I may have a E34 525 parts car soon. Im just wondering what is an average price for a m20 b25 running. Might look to sell it? Thinking best for E30 conversion just sump change needed. Any advice would be appreciated
