    Rear shock setup

    I'm just doing a dry fitment to make sure I have all the stuff I need to do this job quickly. These are OEM (for now) rear shock mounts going onto Koni adjustable shocks. The Koni's have a top bumper, so do I need the one that comes in the box with the mounts? The one on the left is without...

    Selector rods.

    I've bought a UUC Evo III short shift kit for my 318ic. UUC also makes a "DSSR" (Double shear selector rod). This would be a nice addition to my shift kit, but they don't make a DSSR for my car. Apparently my selector rod (any 318ic/is w/M42 with no air conditioning) has a bent selector rod...

    Rear shock mounts.

    "clickety clack, clickety clack, down the track" Famous for their failure, but super easy to change. I've just got my Koni adjustable shocks today, and I'm looking at a spare set of OEM rear shock mounts I keep on hand. They look nice and strong. If I use them with these Koni's and lowering...

    Sounds like the thermostat, right?

    (keeping in mind it's about 3 degrees celcius where I live right now) Car warms up slowly... the colder the air is, the longer it takes to warm up, but never reaches half way on the temp gauge, only to the first quarter. It sits at the quarter mark in city driving with moderately warm air...

    Heavy Steering

    My girlfriend drives an '87 325i. I just put the snow tires on it (195/65r15), and she's complaining of a wobbly steering wheel at around 80-90km/h which didn't happen with the factory rims. The front tires are balanced, and should be fine (they're almost new). What I'm wondering about is the...

    Found me a winter beater!

    My 318i has a new stable mate!!! It's a 1992 E34 525i (w/M50 engine)5 speed. Lowered, replica M5 rims, M5 front spoiler, cross drilled rotors on all corners, Dinan chip, black leather, CD changer, my old MOMO shifter, and a little bit of rust... just so I know it's my beater, and that I won't...

    325IX Problems?

    What should I be looking for, listening for, feeling for, when inspecting a 1989 325IX with about 190,000kms 5 speed? What are known problems with the 4wheel drive E30's so that I know to check if they have been serviced lately (or ever). I'm mostly worried about driveline seals and gears for...

    Air Bag to MOMO

    Just wondering if there's any problem with taking out a steering wheel with an airbag and putting a MOMO hub adapter for a MOMO steering wheel. It's a 5 minute job without an airbag, but are there any tricks to removing an airbag steering wheel without getting a facefull? Will I have an...

    New Memeber (sort of)

    Hi everyone! I'm not really that new here, but I have never actually introduced myself or my car yet. Haven't had time to wash her and snap any pics 'till now! I gave it a quick wash when I went away this weekend, so it's not looking it's best. I've been a BMW owner for 6 years now, getting...

    Scrapping an 1986 E30 325es

    This hunk of rust has been sitting in my driveway for a year now, and I think I'm done stripping it of everything I think is worth keeping. (blower motor, wiper motor, headlight buckets, locking gascap door lock, ECU, fuses, relays, idle control valve and module, misc. interior parts, etc...)...

    Upgrading the M42

    By putting on this K&N, and installing a Dinan Performance Chip (D900-1833), how much of a performance gain should I expect? 15bhp? I haven't even driven my baby in 5 months (storage), and I've bought these two parts already so I'm just wondering what this will do for my car in a couple weeks...

    M42 Oil Type... What should I be using?

    I drive a '91 318i Cabrio with the M42 DOHC 16v with 210,000km on the clock... I want to use a full synthetic motor oil, and I used Mobil 1 10w30 last summer. Is there a different brand or viscosity that I should be using instead? I don't drive the car in the winter (November 'till the end of...
