Update on the clutch... Thank you to all that helped!! I ended up removing the Transmission and found that the release bearing was not in place... Not sure how but it popped out while installing originally but resolved now. Took the car for its first little drive.. upon reversing her back into the garage she died.. 4-5 times.. to the point where I couldn't start the car again because the battery died. I'm assuming its the new clutch biting more along with the power steering needing more from the engine causing it to die... any thoughts? Another thing I found is that the shifter (all new bushings etc) only lightly clicks into gear.. would this mean i'm in need of new Detent springs/have them the wrong way round? Another thing I have found is that the gears grind quite easily.. Not sure if I'm just used to a hydraulic clutch or my transmission is about to crap itself. Appreciate any feedback - shes my first E30 so not sure what to be looking for.

Thanks guys, There is only one clutch kit on the website for the G260 on the website and everything else was an exact replacement, I remember comparing the old with new and the throw out bearing was the same length. Im also using the same old push out rod on the slave and putting it on the same position it came out. I will email FCP to see what they say about the length of the throwout bearing.

Hi team, I have recently embarked on a project E30 M20B25 recondition running a gertreg 260 with a new Sachs clutch kit off FCP Euro. The issue I’m having is that clutch pedal feels spongy and won’t won’t disengage the clutch- despite bleeding multiple times, replacing both the Master & slave cylinders. I feel as though the slave cylinder rod is fully pushed forward already and doesn’t even have enough reach to push it further. any ideas?

Wasn't this a British guys old car? Jay?

Thanks for all the recommendations! I ended up buying them from Fcpeuro along with a bunch of other things I needed, however, they did not have the washers for the M16 bolt. Thinking - would a rubber washer from supercheap/repco work better/the same as a crush washer? otherwise will fork out the $3 per washer from BMW NZ :(

Hi Team, I am on the hunt for power steering Banjo Bolts for an E30 M16x28 and M14X1,5X26 with washers. Appreciate any help to source these locally. Thanks

Just in time for the Christmas break! all arrived today

No pops or bangs without MHD stage 2 - (Which you would need new spark plugs and coil packs for.. in most cases.) without that they did not sound much different to stock. No Engine light for 500 or 700kms I believe? They also caused a tad more turbo rattle.

I bought a pair off Aliexpress which were mandrel bent for like $300-350 shipped. installed myself on jack stands and went well without issues.

Hi team, I am in need of an M20b25 clutch alignment tool to purchase... or borrow. Currently doing a big order on FCP Euro but they don't have it available and i'm not really wanting to use ECS or Ebay just for the one item. Based on North Shore, Auckland. Any help appreciated! Cheers!

My E30 is running the exact same setup as you! my main concern is that it wont pass a wof with that stretch.. had any issues?

Thanks Jon! Really appreciate it good things to know!

Hi Team, Im in need of some help from you experienced M20 peeps. I've recently bought my first E30. It has an M20B25 engine with roughly 240,000Kms on the clock and want to send it somewhere to give it a bit of a refresh. The engine is practically out of the car so id just be sending the head and block. My budget is $2-$2.5k. My question is what extent of work can done with such a budget on an M20 and who/where do you recommend to send it to in the north Shore/Auckland area? Any input & experience appreciated!

Hi Team, I have bought a E30 Carbrio as a project about 3 weeks ago. The previous owner cut the front tow hooks to fit a bumper in the past and from my understanding this difficult to wof. I have got a quote for $595 + GST to weld on some new ones. My question is what would be a more cost effective way to get around this to pass wof? Would appreciate any input. Cheers.

Hi Team, Looking for the following if you can supply or point in the right direction: Shifter arm (Getrag 260) Rear Lowering springs - Currently running extremely low springs and very stretched tires wanting to go a little higher so i am able to fit wider tires for easier wof. Full Stock exhaust system (325i) - ideally to trade for my Remus exhaust setup... too loud for me. Thanks!

Hi Team, Does anyone know the history of this car? What are your thoughts on it? https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1748389476.htm?rsqid=5f71a6607bef4c19b6ecd0686aaf9c0f

Sorry yes I agree didn't see the dealer part at first.

I Bought my 135i and had the exact same Issue. Always happened when opening it up just slightly that it went to limp mode. also had no lights up because it would re-set when turned off. I changed plugs and Coils and ran sweet as. Auto sure wont cover those but FSP Euro does a pretty good deal on an ignition kit. Maybe see if the seller will go halves?

Who bought the E30 with the 1uzfe motor built by Riley?? Rego: E3oV8
