where is the bleed screw on the M60 cooling system? or is the system self bleeding?

what is the purpose of the crosshairs?

call gavin at Euro Italian - Euro Italian he can sort you out with a new rotor, with 15% bimmersport discount his prices are almost unbeatable. yours will be the rotor with the limiter on it so make sure you specify that when you order.

baahaha some of his stories are hilarious!

I think we have learnt that you are better off just ordering the plates yourself rather than stuffing around with a group buy.

bump - super low price

those air horns must be at least 30kW of the 280 at the wheels

all the plates have been made and will be shipped tomorrow. I've seen photos of all of them, they are all black nz style except Carls whose is blue nz style. Will let you know once they arrive.

I was talking about the hub bearing assembly, they are a sealed unit. Cant get them any other way I don't think.

not too bad to change but like Grant said they are pricey! whilst the car is still on the ground pop the centre cap off the wheel and loosen the large 45mm nut that holds the bearing to the stub axle, don't forget to remove the nuts split/lock with a screw driver. Jack up the car, remove the wheel and brake caliper assembly, hook the calipers up with a piece of wire or something. Now all that is out the way, take the brake rotor off by removing the small hex head grub screw. What you will now be left with is your wheel bearing still tightly on the stub axle, remove the nut you previously loosened. Now the hard part - removing the bearing, my technique involved a large hammer and a larger screw driver, i'll let you choose your own technique. You will more that likely split the bearing in half in the process. If for some reason you need to remove the splash shield, don't forget to put it back on before you put your new bearing on!!! Fitting the new one is opposite to removal however gently tap the bearing using the large socket and a hammer to hit the inner ring. do not hit the outside of the bearing - you will split it in half. Remember to torque it right up with the car on the ground!! hope that helps

Dear Riley Please do not ruin your instrument cluster and dash by fitting an after market bohemoth of a gauge, especially just for the sake of a little shift light. Use the stock gauge and get it working properly, it will look 100 times better and will probably cost less. If you desire a shift light, fit one seperately, you want to be able to adjust it anyway, which wouldn't be so easy if it is behind the clear instrument panel cover. Yours Sincerely Ollie

use the original tacho - anyone who says it cant be done or is too hard is lazy! As Glenn said it's just a matter of getting the right signal to it. If you do for some wierd reason decide to get an external gauge - i'd choose autometer above autogauge everytime! www.autometer.com

all with mounting plates. Carl - Jared had you down as black - but i will sort blue out for you.

all the plates ordered are the black nz flag style

Good News People Have finally tracked down Jared, Paid Chris at German Plates and expect your plates to arrive within 3 weeks. People Who have paid and will be receiving their plates Grant Shennen Carl Shuker Jamie Grupen-Hall Blair Smith Antony Merriman Andrew Ollie All i can say is it's about fricken time!

looking good - now where is the dry ice compartment?

would like to see this car in the flesh - very nice.

yes

I read books. nice paintings Glenn - i really need to put some colour on these white canvases i have had sitting here for over a year now.

it's a good parts car for my race car. also good when the daily is in for repairs

very common problem for these valves to become brittle and leak - i glued one up once and it lasted another year or so but you are better off grabbing a new one. Also the jet nozzles do clog up so make sure they are clear.

common problems with E30 central locking. the plug between the front doors and a-pillar can get water in them - unplug both front doors and clean the connections with appropriate electrical spray to remove any corrosion etc. E30's are old cars - solenoids do fail - if the drivers solenoid fails - the system won't work from your alarm. it's rare for the central locking module to have a problem but if you need to check it - you can find it under the speaker in the drivers foot well. if you need any central locking solenoids - pm me

I can't get hold of Jared - i think he is in the USA like he said. I have however been in touch with Chris at German Plates - Jared has placed the order with Chris back on 10 March, but Chris never received the paypal payment from Jared. Very f**king annoying! Chris assures me that he hasn't had problems dealing with Jared in the past and i have no reason to believe that your money has gone walkabouts, once again it's f**king useless communication (this will be the last time!!) As soon as I get hold of Jared I will have this sorted. I will get all your money from him and either return it to you or place an order for your plates immediately. If i can't get in touch with Jared by the end of the week i will sort something else out for everyone. That is the current status - it is unacceptable and I'm sorry I can't do anything more about it right now. If you have any useful comments - please email me - [email protected]
