F**k it! I ll just mount my steering wheel straight (it seems that the mechanic didnt pay enough attention and mounted it with a slight offset to the left) and...
Well,I didnt find a definite answer,so i ll ask:I m in the process of fitting new springs to my 85 3.18i.The car is too high for my liking and I dont have too...
Well,I took it in the Mercedes garage who took care of the alignment and made some adjustments to the steering system,which fixed everyhting.Now,the car goes...
can't comment if they might make your car too low or not, but if they destroy the monroe shocks that might be a good thing. mel p.s. I will have a set of...
umm... useful pic. ;) Don't know for sure which H&R's you're talking about, but if they're the sport or street springs (sounds like they are), the drop won't...
So,what I m gonna look for should be the "Street Springs" ?!? I assume that the old bump stops were changed when the shocks were changed (a year ago) or this...
A Monroe mechanic told me that the stiffer springs will definately destroy the Monroe shocks.The question is : how long till they have to be replaced assuming...
I m driving a M10 3.18i (Prod.Date 84 or 85 according to some VIN decoder) and i m using unleaded fuel.Will this damage the engine ?!? The car of course has no...
No. The BMW M10 motor runs just fine on either leaded or unleaded fuel. Some manufacturers' motors needed leaded fuel to lubricate their valves. BMW motors...
the only problem with running unleaded gas in your car is that it may be have too-low octane rating. I am not sure what is a compression on euro car with out...
Well,thanx for all your answers... Thankfully,there s not predetonation at all,so I guess all is ok in the end.BTW,tommorow I m having a new clutch ! A3TeRnuS...
I dropped my 85 318i 60mm with no problems, tghe lowering springs will cuase the shocks to blow quicker, I've still got stock shocks on the car but I don't...
tHAts 60mm (!!!) ?!? It doesnt seem like SO much ! Its great BTW ! Well,how about 200Km per week ?!? Does this seem enough to make me change to shorter/stiffer...
Well let me see. My personal experience with a set of Monroe shocks and springs was that they were shot within 30,000 kms. I mean rat sh1t. Consequently, I...
Well,thanks for the tips.Right now,after a new clutch system (SACKS- the OEM clutch kit on the car) I m broke... From what I understand though,it s not a bad...
Hi, I've been replacing the head gasket on my 85 318i for the past couple of months now. This means I've forgotten where most of the bolts go. I have a quick...

Andrew, I believe the item you are referring to is a cooling system component called the "branch flange". It has two hose connections on it -- one for the...

I hesitate to bring this matter up, since it always seems to get everyone riled up, but my K&N cone filter does make a noticable difference on my car. As long...
Speaking of K&N's..... Anyone have ideas/suggestions on the best way to clean and re-oil them. I can always buy the K&N supplies but wonder if there's a...
Yes! Send pictures from different angles! I'm very interested. ... can always buy the K&N supplies but wonder if there's a better way. ... The key thing is to...
All, Finally got around to looking at the area of my head again and I don't think its what you described. I think the branch flange that you describe is...

If your engine is carburated... it could be the mechanical fuel pump that is supposed to sit there. Thomas...
Sorry for the misdirection, but the branch flange is the only item mounted on the left side of my E30 head except for the intake manifold. There is a mounting...
Since Andrew told us his car is the 318i model, it wouldn't have a carburetor.... An E30, M10 motor using a mechanical fuel pump would have the pump mounted at...
Thanks everyone. there is no carburator, but the two bolt holes go through the engine and if the stud I put in there is long enough it will interfere with the...

Yes, they're still available...I paid $43 per side from Eurasian (eap4parts.com). Also, I wanted find out a little more info regarding the install of these ...
I'm setting up a Minnesota E30 owners meet on either Saturday, June 5, or Sunday June 6, 2004. It will probably start between 1-3pm on one of the two days. If...
... but there's not a lot I can do about it. Or is there? I'm trying to get more revs out of my '83 318i race car. A 6.2k red line sucks. It's slowing me down....
