It chills on half way, sometime goes around 3/4 when i drive hard but will then go back to half

will do

M50/52 next year.. i have it sorted out haha

all of the above has been worked on/replaced in the last year, except the AFM (my first idea) and the fuel filter which may be a good time to replace it as said above, i have no sence of smell so i cant tell you that :S not a dead hippo. just a few subs and amps. but the car has always had bad economy even when it was stock standard. havent noticed any increase in consumption because of this weight

No i fill it up and usually put 45-50L in. Odo is in kilometers, but the gauge face is miles (i know this because i put the miles face on because i think it looks better). i intend to do this trip.

the clock has been wound back i know this. i have a spare gauge cluster so ill chuck that in and see. the trip meter seems to count the 100m intervals correctly so who knows. ill do a trip around the block (read hill) and then do it in the other car and see if i get the same distance. thats what i thought too. no gas leak that i can see anywhere, no drips when parked etc etc. fuel door locks on the central locking anyways, and why would they steal it from the bimmer when the one on my Lada doesnt lock at all haha

55L/200km = 25L/100km. my thing on the gauge cluster reads 6-8L/100km when im driving

the car had this same fuel economy when it was auto. i dont see why BMW would make a car with such terrible economy. i wonder what other people with B20s are getting. I have no sence of smell so i cant tell you what it smells like, but no water or carbon comes out. nothing visable comes out except in winter time

Mine is a later model? or do you mean E36/46 etc?

i do drive hard, but i went for a whole tank driving normally (that was hard haha) and got the 250km instead of 200. so yeah its still bad. spark plugs are newish, but what am i looking for on them to tell? i would think that it is running rich? spark plug leads appear to be fine. I ran some of that injector cleaner you can gett from Repcos and that made no difference

done, no reply as yet. think you could let him know? thanks

supposedly you gain 2HP by ditching that fan. probably in the same way HKS decals give you 5HP a piece though i dunno

that sounds like a differnet problem. i can red line if i want to and there is never ever a loss of power etc. i have no idea what you mean by that code.. i need it read on one of those little gadgets

The car runs fine. nothing looks and sounds out of the ordinary. it is literally like someone syphons gas out of the tank.. there are no leaks anywhere etc (they dont syphon it.. the fuel cap is lockable) Diff is currently 4.45 unlimited slip. twill be 3.6something Limited Slip next week though

Okay so im getting really bad fuel economy. 200-250km to a tank. ECU can be ruled out as i have used three different ones and no improvement. I have disconnected the O2 sensor (unplugged) and that made no difference either. i thought maybe it was the TPS but ive been told that its is possibly a wide open throttle sensor and not a tps. my car was auto, is now manual. was bad before I converted it, i hardly use the car so i havent worried about it. So that leaves the AFM which must be the problem? or does someone else have an idea i haven't thought of? if i replace the AFM can i use one from any M20 or does it have to be from a B20? ideally if someone has one of those code readers that would be great (have a separate thread on that already do draw attention to the fact i need one asap) thanks guys (and girls)

which would be why your engine died. maybe. delete the viscous and put an electric fan in. never have to worry about it again

200-250kms from a tank

shotgun engine

are they the OEM wheels? if so then insurance will cover it. if not, then it depends if you have your wheels listed on your policy or not. remember insurance companys assume the car is stock except for what you specifically tell them about.

hey peoples! my car is getting crap fuel economy, not sure why it is, but i think its the TPS. does anyone have one of those readers you plug into the circle plug in the engine bay that tells you the error codes that i could use? E30 b20 facelift

Man up!

lol i noticed the bumpers off a 91 nissan sentra fit over the E30 bumpers like some sort of body kit lol. the only downside is you look like you have american diving boards!

just noticed email adress.. will email.

im interested! are they still for sale?

looks like they are sold then! give me a PM with your adress on it and ill be in contact
