User Name 19 Report post Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) Hay Brent Nice engine looks the same as the one ya sold me, having intermittiant issues with it not starting when warm but hay Do you know if the center console would fit a e28, also do you have the coolant reservoir plus pipes as i think my coolant reservoir on the e28 is real low and think it could be part of the prop Also do you know if its worth changing the acclerater cable from the e28 to a better one as mines shot and had to cut the end Cheers Edited January 7, 2009 by Kym Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Top Secret 2 Report post Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) Hey mate. This was the one off trademe not too long ago with those 18s on it right? Did you end up getting a wof for it? Was it just some bushes (or similar) like the guy said? Cheers Edit: sorry, I might be completely mistaken! Could you give me an overview of what might need doing?

E30 325i Rag-Top 2920 Report post Posted January 13, 2009 Hey Brent, any idea how much to get a towbar on it, is the wiring a pain on this model? I was quoted $2.5k+ to put a tow on a later 5 series due to diagnostic computers,etc. Also, what would the towing rating be for a braked trailer behind it? I need about 2 tonne. Cheers, Jon.

Cheers, Jon.easy bolt on job not like the e39 pain in the %$#^%% system , easy to wire just tap into the rear tail light wiring . can do for an extra $250 fitted . 1500kg braked rating Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30 325i Rag-Top 2920 Report post Posted January 14, 2009 Cheers for the offer of fitting one up, unfortunately I will need a few more than the 1500kgs to be legal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30 325i Rag-Top 2920 Report post Posted January 14, 2009 It's like all ratings, set well on the safe side. I'm sure the car has the power and the brakes to tow much more than 1500kg safely on a braked trailer, but "just to be safe" the rating is set well below that. If I were pulled over with more the load over the 1500kg I would get pinged by the police which is more my worry as I seem to attract police cars like flies around poo when I am towing, even with a Land Cruiser! And yes, very funny Foxy it is a 320, about 1140kg without me in it (I can probably strip some more out after Christmas) plus the trailer at 600kg and tools, spare wheels etc. I would estimate in the 1800kg range. The later model 5 Series 528i has a rating of 1800kg braked, but there are very few around with a towbar that are anywhere near a reasonable price, and 2.5k to have one fitted is a bloody joke. You are right, there are very few decent cars around with that sort of rating, so will have to keep looking, damn, fancied your 525i / 535iS Brent!
