Hi all! I'm a backseat member, I don't own an E30 at the moment and do not post very often. I do have a question regarding an E30 though. I am looking for a...
Hey Ben, I can scan a picture of the wiring diagram when I get home tonight. I have a paper copy of the wiring manual for the early E30's. Send me an e-mail...

I have the original blue velour interior to my 85 318i (4 door) that has been in storage since the late 80s. I had replaced this with a leather interior soon...

Last night I started experimenting with removing the Idle Control Valve. I have been trying to get the idle to be more consistent and haven't been able to get...
Interesting, but I think it's a bit pointless removing those items. And the cold-start injector valve is much needed in very damp or cold weather. Hope you...
Our winters are cold and snowy, but he car will sit in the garage over the winter. I don't have any tires suitable for winter driving, anyways. My removal of...
I don't know about the TPS, but when I baught my rebuilt motor from a guy who was previously IT racing, he had replaced the ICV with a piece of pipe the same...
The purpose of the throttle switch is when you come off of idle the switch tells the ecu that the ICV is no longer needed and the AFM is doing all of the air...

Eccentric trailing arm bushings are good for adjusting toe and camber - however you cannot adjust one of those without affecting the other (just by the nature...
Thanks to everyone who helped me out in so many ways. I found what I needed on this website: http://themurrays.homeip.net/bmw318/index2.html Boy, what a gold...

Where do you get HT lead "holders"? Can you just "cable-tie" the cables to seperate them? I just thought it was best to keep them away from hot items but...
Plug wires should not run parallel - they should only intersect. Cable separators are alright, but try to get ones with greater distances between where the...
If you are talking about the part mounted on the firewall then the hose that comes out of the bottom goes to the intake manifold. The hose that points towards...
In an attempt to clean and organize the garage, I have the follow items for sale: E30 Wind deflector for sunroof - $30.00 E30 center armrest w/ integrated twin...
I just ordered one yesterday and can't wait to start my "winter project". I look forward to replacing the L-Jet(and that AFM!@#) for this configurable, MAP...

Hi Folks, I have a 1985 318i, with a cracked exhaust manifold that has the O2 sensor in it. The O2 sensor plug in the downpipe bung is rusted solid. I'm...
Well folks, I am nearing the point of stumpage. Once again, my otherwise wonderful car is nearing the red zone (in more ways than one). Some may remember a...
I experienced it last year. In the summer it overheated, so I replaced it with a fail-safe thermostat (if it breaks, it sticks open to allow the flow to...
You have more than likely already bled the air out of the system? I found that I had to do this a couple of times before I finally got the thing to run with...
A new twist to this problem seems to be pressure or lack thereof. I mentioned that it has a new radiator and cap. When it was overheating before, I noticed it...
