    Bank holiday E30 detailing

    That looks awesome, I could only wish my interior was that clean. I've got a lot of work to do this summer to clean mine up like that. (It's a pain to keep my interior clean... so much road dirt ends up in the back seats.) Looks sweet! No cracks on the dashboard either! What do you use to...

    Engine noise, Maybe?

    that's a good one! I give up! Crank up the stereo and it'll go away! Works every time. (sorry, I'm of no use) The only thing I can really think of is that there is a relay clicking away... but i don't think it would keep getting louder...

    Buying a new car, but need some imput

    The problem with older M3's is that people tend to drive the life out of them, as I would expect. If I had an M3, I'd be driving it hard as much as I could. I wouldn't buy a used M3 off of myself... but I would buy a E36 328is off someone like my friends mom who has probably never even chirped...

    Upgrading the M42

    To have that chip shipped from the US to Canada, it cost me an extra $45.... but still I think it was a good purchase. There's a couple places in my area that do Dinan installs (I'll do the chip myself), so once I have save a bit of cash, I'll probably get them to do a Dinan suspension setup...

    whirring noise

    I was thinking the same thing... anything that runs off of a belt. Alternator or P/S pump.

    Proud new owner of a 93 318is, interesting story

    You paid $1300 for it, but you're not done paying for it yet... not even close. This is how I got my first 325e. Basically a bucket of bolt for free (free!) but man, I put thousands into it, and it was always just a game of "catch up" with the repairs. But you'll love it!! When you're done...

    Upgrading the M42

    Well, I bought the Dinan chip from Turner Motorsport for only $75... so I think it was a good deal. I had a Turner MS/Conforti chip in my 325e, and I noticed a big difference... especially in taking the speed limiter off. Before the chip, the car would top out at 180kph, with the chip I was...

    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...

    Total Newbie question!

    ...and if the label is still on the cap, it'll probably say "ATF only".

    Problems taking off caliper bracket BOLTS, HEEEEELP!!!

    Man, it's all seized up. I've had to let bolts on my old '86 soak for at least 24 hours before they move. I'd tell you to try an impact driver, but there's no room to swing the hammer. You could try heating the bolts up with a torch, but not while they're soaking in penetrating fluid. Try...

    Pics of BMW-SYNDIKAT Season Opening Meeting - No 56k!

    You two took the words right out of my mouth!! I want the E30 (it's basically the same as my car though) and you have no idea how badly I want an M Coupe!!!

    My first car and its a bimmer!

    They're definately Hamanns... do you know if there's any more Hamann parts on the car? It looks like a fine car to me... quite a steal for 5K. Looks like Ottawa still has a bit of snow left... we haven't had any snow here in Toronto for a month now. [:)]

    i need urgent help!

    What we're saying is; hit it with a hammer... wetting it with WD40 will not hurt if that's what you have in your garage already... the main thing is, to hit it, not tap it, or nudge it, but really hit it. hit it on the brake pad contact area, and hit it on the flat area where it mounts to the...

    Which Fuse??

    It doesn't say the numbers on the fuse box cover?

    My 2004 330Ci

    Very nice car! The rims are sweet... the eye lids I don't really care for either. Nice stance overall though.

    i need urgent help!

    well, the diff will lock up the other wheel... it should release unless it's seized up. If you wan't put the car back together, lower it, drive it without the Ebrake on, and pull back into your driveway, jack up the whole rear end, and then take it appart again, and then give'er with the...
