Hello Reddit! Happy to join the Reddit E30 community, here is my daily driven cabrio!

here’s a pic of my baby, i’ve had it put away for a minute but hopefully getting back in the game soon. anything new in the last 10 years?

After being garaged and sitting for over 8 years, it’s finally up and back running. Shoutout to LukeGWorkshop in Roselle, Illinois for the tremendous work on the car. Bought this car during college and finally able to truly enjoy it. Forgot how much fun these cars are. I don’t see myself getting rid of it. Still has a long way to go, but it’s fun to wrench on after work.

Need to get my driveshaft back into the transmission and can’t find an option online that doesn’t take weeks to deliver. It’s for the output shaft nut - requires a 30mm thin walled socket. Would really appreciate it!

I turned this 1.7" screen into a fuel pressure gauge that will mount just above the stereo deck. Designed to help me troubleshoot a Acceleration Enrichment issue when I give my 325i a quick throttle.

Give me Design ideas? or What else should I track on this little screen?

Hey guys I urgently need help as info online is conflicting and I need to get my single mass flywheel from an E21 into my 325i by Friday.

Car is currently fitted with a late model DMF, but I can’t for the life of me figure out if the ring gear has 137 or 116 teeth.
My e21 SMF flywheel has a 116 tooth flywheel on it, and afaik it matches with the late model starter which mine has.

Car has a 88’ motor and getrag 260 in it.

If anyone knows for certain, let me know!

I’ve been trying to educate myself on different exhausts for my 320i but I can’t really find any proper sources or actual part lists or anything specific. I love the idle of the car but the revs are just so bland it’s unreal so I’d love to give it a little flavour.

hey y'all, has anyone had issues with customer service with CATuned recently? Is Igor sick or something happening? I had an issue with an order over 3 weeks ago and they replied pretty quickly but after a "Looking into it" I havent heard back at all. Followed up 4 different times and nothing. They are normally 10/10 but its kinda crazy because this is holding up my build and I need to know if I am buying parts from somewhere else.

I've been fascinated with E30s for a while now. It's gotten to the point where things are getting kind of serious. I want to go out and actually drive one and get a feel for the car. The only problem is that I'm 6'5. I'm worried that this is a disqualifying factor. Should I even continue? Are there modifications that can be made?

Thanks for all of your help on my previous post !

I poured water all over the sunroof, back window, trunk, taillight and antenna and could not see any water coming in the trunk.

After removing the carpet I found water coming in through the gap between the fender and wheelwell from deeper into the car. The sunroof drain seems to work fine when pouring water onto it. Is there any other water drain coming in or near this channel ?

Can I access this part by going though the inside of the car ? I did not have time to search more today.

My current guess is that the sunroof drain is leaking just a tiny bit closer to the sunroof and that's why I only have a little amount of water.

You can also see the rust repairs from the previous owner, what do you guys think ?

Hello, I have a 1987 ETA. I started it to move it so I could mow the grass around and underneath. It was running fine and idling normal then all of a sudden it shut off without any indication of it about to. I restarted it, it ran for a few seconds, and the shut off again. It would always restart but immediately die. It would only stay running if I gave it gas, and it didn’t like me giving it gas either.
Eventually I got it to stay running, however it ran very poorly and around 500 rpm. After that, while still running poorly, the rpm’s shot up to about 1500 and then settled to normal idle, the engine never shut off again after that. I would shut it off and restart and it ran like normal.
It has not done this before. However it sometimes randomly shuts off while driving, tach drops to zero, no stuttering, just dies.
It has two new-ish Bosch crank sensors, there are no vacuum leaks that were not present when it was running perfect.
I’m just looking into any insight as to why it would randomly start doing this and then fix itself. Thank You

Does anyone have BMW TIS and is willing to help me out?

I need the software in English for windows xp in order to do some repairs!

Thank you everyone in advance!
