hi andy.i can't take it with me as of the moment coz' it was released by the police yesterday for finger print specimen and i had it dropped off right after to the approved panel beater of my insurance but i have no idea yet of the extent of damage aside from the things i saw visually when i checked it with the towing services.i'll check with the panel beater on monday and will come to see you if it will be fixed so that you can have a look.

what i mean is the center console of the auto trans but just the cover with the prnd23 indicators when you shift it exposing some wirings of the auto trans.don't have any idea yet if it still running coz' it's with the panel beater.i have to check with them on monday.do you think it will still be restored if they've done something to it?

just curious because my e30 was stolen right in my driveway but they abandoned it after maybe 10mins away from my place.they ripped off the transmission cover maybe trying to sort it out but lucky for me that they weren't able to let it work normally.does that mean that it has an immobilizer?if so,how would i know.any idea?

hi to all.just need an info if an old e30 1988 has a built in immobilizer?will it run if the ignition will be ripped off and a screw driver be used to turn on the engine?tks.

tks flake it is a 10mm hex key.

i've got spare wheel bolts that i could use for this.thank you very much.

cool.i'm at collins ave.will just text you then.will try to sort things out this weekend.tks.

that's a good idea.if i can't get hold of a proper hex i'll use that option.will try to look for bolts and nuts of the same size as the hex.tks very much.

i'm not sure if it's the same size as the atf plug.it appears to be bigger.i'll be putting a 75w80 synth diff oil.i'm in tawa.just got this a year ago so, i'm trying to replace the fluids.

hi, can you please help me if what hex key size i need to buy and where to buy it. i am going to replace the diffenrential oil of my E30 1988 320i. i don't have any idea of what size is it.i'm in wellington.tks.

i was thinking of 80w90 but if 75w90 is best then i'll go for it.thank you very much for the replies.

hi drew, if i remember it correctly when i had it safety checked the rear wheels turned the opposite direction when they checked it. so, it's a standard open diff. so i can use a 75w-90? tks mate.

how do i know if it needs LSD? do you suggest that i should undo the top fill hole first before i drain it to make sure? if i can't is there any alternative? tks.

hi, i'm just a new member here and about a year owner of a 320i e30 1988 BMW. i don't have enough knowledge on BMW so, i would just like to know what would be the oil grade that i should use for the differential oil. i'm planning to drain and refill the diff oil and how much should i put in. tks.

points well taken mate. thank you very much for your opinions.
