SIKE30

Hi guys Does anybody have a standard e30 320i facelift rear muffler with twin entry and twin outlet in good condition or decent in the Auckland or Waikato area. My one has blown out all its packing and after market mufflers are just to loud.

oh yeah your right ill do that first thing tomorrow morning thanks for the tip. sh*t been awhile since i had a e30 forgot who to deal with lol. thanks

thanks for the offer but ill hav to pass. Would have been great if you were in auckland because probably would end up costing a bit getting them here and im hoping to get lucky by the weekend. Thanks alot though i appreciate it

hi guys i jus bought a e30 again and its abit ruff so im trying to restore it to a decent state. ive tried looking on trademe and the parts for sale section on bimmersport but no luck. Does anyone have a set of front and rear seats for a e30 that thy looking to get rid of pretty cheap? if so could you please let me know my by pm me or text my cell 0210782874. thanks

sweet as thank you for your help. Ive seen castrol makes a 20w50 gtx i think ill try that.

oh ok hmmm then ill change the oil this weeekend before any damage happen because my cars only done 180,000km . by the way what oil do you guys use in your m10s? like who makes 20w 50? thanks guys

Oh yeah that penzoil stuff im using is mineral. but 25w 60 isnt to thick is it?

Hi guys thanks for all the help with my past questions. hehe I have another one. I have a e30 318i with a m10. i recently did a oil change on my cr and in tha past i always used castrol gtx with half a bootle of moreys.But this time i used Penzoil older engine oil which was 25w 60. Now when the kar is on i get this burnt oil smell but the oil level hasnt dropped even abit. What oil should I use?

hmm i checked the rear shock mounts afew weeks ago they dint look bad. but there was a tiny gap all around the metal tube where the rubber attachs to it.

and ill also check the diff bolts.

I had the driveshaft out afew months ago to check what was causing this but couldnt find anything. the rubber coupling from, driveshaft to the back of the box was ok. and the universals wer ok. i held both ends of the driveshaft and tried to twist is in opposite directions it did not hav noticeable play. could a worn diff cause this aswell? ill check the half shafts tomorrow. so you guys dont think the sumframe bushes could cause this?

hi guys I have a 86 318i manual that starts to clunk and jerks back and foward when travelling at really slow speeds e.g. in traffic jams. and also somtimes wen downshifting and taking of. the clunking is coming from the rear. Its so bad that it dont feel like driving the car anymore. could worn subframe bushings cause this?

Ok cool ill do that aswell thank for your help.

Sweet thank you ill try that method you suggested. one more question could this be the cause of the oil pressure light staying on for about 5 - 10 seconds when the car 1st starts?

Should I be worried about it? Because im not sure if the motor is worth taking apart again to do the rings. I took it apart 2 years ago while I was doing the head gasket and replaced the big end and main bearings and all gaskets.

Hey guys afew weeks ago I did a compression test on my 318i m10 and it came up with 120psi on all cylinders. is 120 good or bad? the car drives fine and does not burn oil or anything.

Thanks again Glenn I changed back to the factory rims and tyres and the viabration is completely gone. Its amazing how bad that tyre was considering it was only 8mths old. Thanks again.

Sweet ill go to mag and turbo today and show them. because they sold me a whole package with all that stuff in it. And what do you think that loose feel is?

I have spacers on the front.

hubcentric spacers i think. They are plastic rings that slide into the centre of the mag and fit snug on the hub of the vehicle.

yeah there is a viabration when it starts to wobble But it doesnt make any noise or anything. And passed its warrent afew months ago. hmmm but ill chek the wheel bearings

the brake rotors were machined all around about a year ago when I did the pads. I got told that the loose feeling could be caused by the front strut mounts. has anyone had that problem?

When i got the mags i went and bought a set of hub adpaters for them so it shudnt be that. The wobble starts to happen on the motoway at about 110kmph and then it continues after that at lower speeds aswell. And i also changed the steering rack ends a month ago forgot to mention.

Hi guys i have a 1986 318i and when i used to drive it on ruff roads it almost felt like the wheels would fall if it just felt real loose. So i changed the the lower inner and outer balljoints the caster bushings and i checked the swaybar links and bushes they arnt to bad. And now when I drive it on the motorway it has a wobble almost as if the wheels were loose. its been wheel balanced n and aligned new tyres n tha mags arnt bent. Can anyone help me plzz.

Hi guys I have just done a manual conversion on my 318i m10 e30 last weekend and im not sur which oil will be the best to use in it. Its a Getrag 5spd and is kinda hard to get into 1st and 3rd. I have noticed when im at the lights and going to take off I put it into 1st and it slips out into neutral. plz any advice would be helpful. thank you
