I tested the Thermostat by putting it in boiling water to see it open up. I also left it out of the car and it still overheated with no thermostat so its definately not that. Ill try bleed it soon. Also I'm getting the head gasket tested tomorrow just incase there is a problem with it.

That game is awesome

I put the electric fan in cause it used to overheat in traffic up in Auckland. If I put the standard fan back in it would go back to doing that.

Did you have an electric fan instead?

I put the hose through all the pipes to check for blocks and to rinse out any crap if there was any in there and there wasn't. So possibly the head gaskets cracked?

Sorry if thats not enough info, not sure what else to add. Any other possibilities if its not the thermostat, water pump, vicsous fan or a blockage?

LMAO! "DO NOT EMAIL ME AGAIN" "Ok." Thats the funniest thing I have seen on Bimmer Sport.

Those programs were fun to play with. Did a NCEA level 1,2, and 3 course a couple years back.

Hey everyone, My e30 is overheating really badly (just as I got it road legal as well). I have looked through the other threads and tested things that were the problems for them and its still doing it. I have done the following: Checked Thermostat and Water pump, checked for leaks, and ran a hose through it to check for blocks. Any other options that might be causing it to overheat? I don't have a viscous fan as I replaced it with an electric fan a little while ago. Was this a good idea? It doesn't take long to overheat at all, even when driving at 100kph. And its not using any coolant. Its a 1989 320i. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Kaz

Off-topic, but I love that picture. Dethklok!

When you keep refreshing the pages to see whats new

I love it!

Was it a nice flat white? Yeah I just saw it on the news right now. Not something you would really expect to see around here.

Welcome! I love e46's. Post some pics up here soon

Thanks for uploading the pics of the eyelids. I think I would prefer them going right across though.

Very tempting but gotta try save my money for now.

Wrong section? Shouldnt it just be in the engine bay?

Where do you get them from?

Yeah I get that so much. As soon as I wash my car, it starts raining a day after...

Probably one of them from a friend was trying to be a bit of a rally driver on the way to Anawhata along a gravel road 2 weeks ago. Ended up going straight off the end of a corner and down a cliff half way to Piha... And worse, it wasn't even his car.

Yeah I got the black badges too. They are around $80ish on trademe. Goes well with my black on black theme, although I still need to get black rims. Did you make the e30 badge yourself? I wanna get one so people actually know what an e30 is haha. Sick of people asking "whats an e30?" when they see my plate.

haha good to see you got rid of the chromies too. Thats like rule number 2 after text language Welcome anyway!

Haha Simon. For some reason this reminds me of the Bimmersport movie

Poor children being brought up like that.

Pics please
