BMW USED CARS

One of the easiest and best bang-for-the-buck suspension modifications to do on an E30 is a strut/stress bar install. There are many different companies that make strut bars such as BMP Design, Racing Dynamics, Ireland Engineering, Sparco, and many more. For our project car we chose to use the Sparco strut bar, which we purchased from Evosport. It's the simplest design out in the market and is constructed of steel, unlike most other strut bars which are made out of aluminum. Another thing that we liked about this particular bar is that it's a solid design that isn't hinged or adjustable design (such as BMP's bar). This gives the Sparco bar an advantage over the other bars by doing what its supposed to keep the strut towers stable. Testimony of users is that there is no bar better than the Spacro bar. It's the most popular bar in the E30 world, and it also fits the Ground-Control's front camber correction plates, which is the new favorite along with Ground-Control's coil-overs for E30 fans on tracks everywhere. Now that you know what we picked and why we picked it, lets see how the heck to put it on.

If you're one of those guys who bought a 325 (or a two-door 325i) with the basic 6-button clock, then you're probably envious of all the other guys who are always bragging about knowing their average miles per gallon over a long trip, or knowing how much longer they can go without filling up. Well, now you too can be a bragger! Retrofitting an OBC onto your car is a pretty simple task, but it's just a little time consuming.

(For you 318i guys, I tested a 325e OBC with an M10 318i instrument cluster and all the readings seem accurate. If your car has an OBC relay and an ambient temperature sensor, then I believe this conversion will work for you.)

1. If it has been determined that your 325/325e needs a new thermostat, you're in for an easy and quick job.

2. To remove the housing, you'll first need to remove the hose exiting the thermostat housing and going to the lower part of the radiator. Have the shallow tray below the car to catch any spilled coolant. Move the hose to the side.

All of you have seen a picture of an E30 with tail lights that have a red turn signal section instead of the stock amber color. Many people agree that this gives the rear of an E30 more of a clean, European-type style. All-red E30 tail lights (these include red reverse light sections) are available for purchase at around US$300, and while the upgrade looks very nice, most people can't justify spending $300 on such a subtle modification. Luckily, there is a do-it-yourself solution to this dilemma. Most people opt to painting the amber turn signal with red model paint, and this article will explain the process of doing this.

Despite full success in the market of early model BMW 3-eg 1975 (factory index E21), founders saw many lacks in its design and at creation of following generation ' the third ' series (E30) have achieved almost exemplary characteristics on many parametres, in particular roadability and dynamics. With occurrence in November, 1982 of two-door sedans (still the so-called transitive series further completely modernised on all units) BMW 316 (1,8 l, 90 h.p. with the carburettor), 318i (105 h.p.) And 323i (traditional line "six" in 139 h.p. with injection), all models with 5-step transsmission by request, company BMW thanks to the reasonable price policy and high quality of production has confirmed the viability. Attractive enough appearance, reserved style of interior with functionally executed convenient controls. The accent became on comfort, but within the limits of sports style, as is shown in interior registration. The success of model in the first months of sales has allowed to add the program of family with a variant 320iA (2,0-litre 129-strong in-line ' the six ' together with a 4-band automatic transmission).

Used BMW E30 automobile platform was the basis for the 1984 through 1991 BMW 3 Series entry-level luxury car / compact executive car. It was the successor of the BMW E21 in 1982 and was replaced by the BMW E36 in 1992. BMW continued to produce the cabriolet (convertible) E30 well into 1993. The Touring BMW E30 remained in production until 1994 when it was replaced by the E36 touring. The BMW M3 cabriolet car was never officially offered for sale in North America; it was offered only for the European market.

The famous BMW M3 car was first introduced on the E30 platform. A widened version of used BMW E30 car front suspension and the drivetrain from the E30 325i were used in the BMW Z1 roadster.
