It does not want to screw in more. Its a Bilstein Sport in the front right strut. The strut housing was upside down for 10-15 minutes after we took it out. So I don't think oil is the issue and I made sure to wipe down the threads really good.

Hey everyone,

Finally got the car I've wanted since I was a wee little one...haha. Had quite a few other fun cars in my, so far, short stay on this round planet we call home. But, this is my first German car, and most important of all, first BMW.


Short background, I'm a Mopar guy. I love Dodge/Plymouth/Chrysler, but, during the 80s on up, Chrysler Corp didn't offer much in the RWD segment. Being I'm still a young'n, 80s cars are the only ones really affordable to me.
So, I've had a few Mitsubishi Starions, an RX7, a Dodge Omni GLH (still have), a Shelby Charger, etc. But, this is my first E30...the one I've wanted from the get go.


Anyway...fast forward to yesterday...finally picked up one I fell in love with. A 1987 325e. Dark blue with blue interior, 5 speed. Body is rock solid, just has some peeling clear coat, car runs excellent...only the trans has issues...which leads to my questions.

Car runs and drives like a dream, but, shifting is very difficult. Being the deal I got the car for, I wasn't too worried about it...but...more or less, the clutch does not disengage all the way.

It doesn't seem like a hydraulics issue as pumping it does nothing, but...clutch all the way in, its hard to get into any gear at a stop, and once your in gear, if your on a flat surface, clutch pedal still to the floor...the car moves very slowly.

I read something about a clutch fork pivot ball? Does that sound like a possibility? Car has in the neighborhood of 190k miles. I had an SRT4 and that pivot ball was verrrry common.

Once your moving, as long as you rev match shift, it shifts easier, but still not easily. Car came with a brand new clutch I plan on changing within the next week.

Also...when driving after the car sits long enough for the trans to cool, it makes a rattling sound...quite audible...gets faster with speed.

Once I shift into 5th gear, the sound goes away and will not come back until I park the car for an hour or so.

Any ideas? Lol. A strange one to me, but, maybe a common issue?

And, occasionally the check engine light flashes for a minute or so then shuts off. The oil light is on in the overhead console, but level is good and pressure is fine, so, I'm assuming a bad sender. (can that cause the Check engine light).

Other than that, I love it. Cruised about 70 miles on the highway smooth as silk on a little less than an 1/8th tank.

Its also lowered on H&R springs with tokico? struts and brand new Rota RB 15x7 with a 205/50 tire. Got a lot of looks and even a thumbs on the way home, so, I love it already...haha.

I'll get some pictures tomorrow, but, here's one from tonight. (yes, it had a german style tag that the PO removed...I'll be getting another) I haven't even had a chance to detail it yet.
Also, sorry for the novel. But, thanks for having me here, hope to learn as much about these cars as I have my others, and thanks for any help you can give!

I try to reprogram my BMW E39 key with old key, the key starts my car at last surprisingly. :redspot
I was told i have to read out the data from EWS module first and then reprogram keys, so i used the BMW EWS programmer which i purchased from ecutool.com.

I take out the EWS from car, find the pinout and connect to EWS programmer, just like this:

After i verify the wiring diagram correctly, then i install the EWS software in my computer, trying to read out the data for renew key.

Then reprogram my used key:

Hey y'all. I looked for a introduction forum, but didn't see one. Figured I'd drop in and say hello to everyone.

My name is JM, and I just brought home a new (well, CPO, but like-new) 328i.

I'm already in love with it, and am really glad I finally just "did it" and made the switch to BMW. :)

Any tips you guys can give to a new BMW owner? Thanks, and looking forward to conversing with everyone!

I have a 1997 318IS with cracked headers. I just bought headers from another 318IS at the junk yard that is good. Here's my dilemma. My car has a tube going to the Piersburg pump (I think that's what it's called).

Can I completely remove that pump so I can install the headers that I got from the junkyard without any adverse affect on my car?

So unfortuntely I have came to the conclusion that I pay way too much for car insurance. In my last car i had i got into a fender bender going like 5 mph because of my faulty brakes in my old blazer.
I have had my current car for about three months now. But insurance for me is effin crazy for this car. Like 290 dollars a month crazy.

Anyways I was wondering if you guys think it is a good idea to trade my car for a really clean e30 - hopefully a swapped one - because of insurance cost?

Hey guys,

Just very recently my 530i has developed what seems to be a rough idle, mainly when the car is warm. Only shows a rough idle, drives and pulls fine.

Preventative maintenance has always been done
-new intake gaskets 2 years ago (less than 15,000miles)
-new vacuum lines for EGR, check valves, etc

I'm going to be changing the spark plugs whenever I receive them from delivery. Going to be using original plugs. Currently In it is Bosch Platnium +4's that have been in the car for a few years now, but with no issues until the past few days.

Idle changes when the mass airflow sensor is disconnected (assume its working fine?)

Idle slightly changes, but car runs rich (by smell) when the ICV is disconnected, This might be a possible culprit.

The motor mounts are not old, but I do need to inspect them. Last I checked they were fine.

I might change the coolant temp sensor just for preventative maintenance.

Any ideas or other suggestions on what to check?

thanks in advance.

Hey guys. I have some vibration issues in my car when revving beyond 4k. When I bought the car 83000km (52000mi) ago, it didn't have that. I recently replaced the engine mounts, and the transmission mounts seem fine (the shift lever moves maybe 1cm when I floor it in second). I'm thinking possible culprits are:
- flex disc
- center bearing
- diff bushing

None of these have been replaced while I owned the car (105000mi on the odo then). I don't really want to tackle either one on jackstands with my limited tools and experience, but if I have to, I will. Which one is your money on? And is there a diagnosis for these parts?

Tonight, when checking my ps fluid, I accidentally broke the coolant line that runs to the airbox thermostat. The ps reservoir was unfortunately open at the time, and I'm not sure how much spilled. I took a sample with a syringe and there are definitely bubbles of coolant/water mix in the fluid. I'm sure the bubbles have settled into the system.... On a brighter note, the fluid looked pretty clean and red, just a little dark.

As fate would have it, I was planning on flushing the system tomorrow, following these DIY threads:
http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=140947
http://www.dvatp.com/bmw/diy/power_steering_flush/

My question is: how many times should I cycle the system (turning steering wheel and refilling) during the bleed process to make sure all of the coolant mixture is flushed from the system?

Any tips here? Feeling like a complete dumbass :( , but hoping a simple flush will take care of the contamination.

Thanks guys, looking forward to any help here.

PS I rerouted the long coolant hose back into the throttle body, away from the intake sensor, and removed the smaller hose with the broken plastic fitting. Is this an ok temporary solution?

Hi i have a 2001 BMW 320Ci, i was driving it today when i noticed the coolant warning light flashed on. After checking the radiator i noticed that coolant was bubbling out of a small opening just near the radiator cap. I waited a few hours for the engine to cool, then refilled the coolant level however after driving again for only 5 mins the warning light again came on and coolant was again leaking from the small opening. All through this the temperature gauge stayed in the normal position. Can anyone help??

I am at a loss.

I am having the biggest issue with installing a driver side axle on my 02 xi.

Slid in just fine in the diff. But won't slide into the hub. The spline is perfect amd so is the hub. But it won't go in. Ant advice from xi owners who have replaced their axle?

Last time I did my axles, driver and passenger side, both eom axles, no issues.

Oem axle is what I have. Matches perfectly to my old axle.

I am at a loss.

Sorry for the typos. My iPad key pad isn't the best. *and *any

Figured it out. I was literally off by one millimeter. I had to raise my control arm by one mm, amd I got the axle in. Rediculous.

Hi guys,

So, I bought my 740iL back in December last year, with 109,000km. In the stack of receipts was an invoice for four new tyres, and a wheel alignment, done by the previous owner at 108,000km.

The car now has 118,5xxkm, so about 10,000km since the new tyres (~6,250 miles).

I was stunned a couple of thousand km ago to notice that the rears were down to the indicators, and then checked them again a few weeks later to notice that they were completely stuffed! The front tyres are fine with plenty of tread still (over 4mm I'd say). Here's a pic of how the rears looked:



With all the rain we've been having lately, I'm surprised the car stayed on the road.

Anyway, this morning I took the car to the local tyre shop and bought some new 255/45 18 103Y Kumho KU39s for the rear. I also got another wheel alignment. Here's the report:



So it looks like they dialed out some fairly noticeable positive toe on the RHS of both axles. Camber at both axles appears not too bad from my POV.

The tyres seem pretty well worn across the whole width of the tyre, maybe slightly more on the insides, but not by much. A big upside of the new alignment is that the little bum-waggle or skip to the side that the rear end used to do when going over a bump, ridge, pothole etc, seems to have been totally eliminated and the car now tracks straight and true over bumps.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing the monumental tyre wear though? LCABs? Being my daily, this car gets mostly city driving with some highway and the very occasional twisty road. The DSC always stays on and I don't push it that hard in the corners (that's what the other car is for! :) Having said that, I know it's a 4,300lb car; but 6,000 miles or 10,000km for a set of rears is just ridiculous I think...

What are you guys getting out of your tyres?

Cheers
Matt

Hi, I used to own a Z3 M Coupe and now I am looking for a Z4 M Coupe.
If you have one for sale, please post in this thread or PM me.
Is there anything I should watch out for? I am not too familiar with the Z4, having been out of the BMW scene for quite some time.
I'm really only looking for blue or silver.
Thanks!

So I've got some roll hoops coming from another member soon and can't find info on parts I'll need. My 97 had the accessory tray only, with the two storage areas. So is it just a new lid and inner for that tray? Or is there a whole different part that replaces the tray? I was planning on building a custom sub box there anyway, so pics of other vehicles would help.

Came home this morning from business travel. I hate to admit that as much as I did miss my family, I did also miss my extended family of 6er gals. I remember exactly where and how they were prior to me leaving. Even made sure I said bye before I left. Hahaha. Turning down our street peering into our garage as it openned. Wait a minute? Somethings different. Cars been moved, in fact, they have been uncovered, driven out and re-parked and re-covered??? heh? I had to ask...Everything alright dear? She was bothered. Our new tenants are moving into the front house and took over one of the spaces for their stuff temporarily. She moved my odd man 6er into her garage space to give tenants more room outside until they get settled. How nice? That was the first time she actually jumped into one of them. let alone look at them...Hmmmm? I did tell her that I was looking for a sweet E39 touring for her so she can turn in the Highlander. Maybe thats it? Curiosity.

Later, my son came out and gave me the low down. Dad, can mom drive your car? Mom took your car for a drive around the block. Yes son, mom told me. Me and my friends could hear her driving around in front (Polaris 6er has a nice growling Idle). OK, thanks son :evil2 "She can drive stick" he asks me. Yes son, she can (then it dawned on me...Close Ratio!) Shift patterns are on the knobs, so I am assuming that everything was fine. Took the cars out into the sunshine and wiped them down...Daddys home :cuddle

Let me say I put this in a thread and no one could give me any information. Please help. This has become a mild inconvenience.

Lets start off with the key. Then the remote. Just letting you know it is an aftermarket system that i didn't install.

Key: Drivers side. I turn to lock and they lock, then unlock. Every time. Passenger side does the same sometimes. Sometimes it just locks or unlocks the door.

If i am in the car and i hit one of the locks (driver or passenger) all of the doors lock, then unlock.

In order to lock my car i have to go to the driver side back door, lock my driver side front door and hold down the lock so it doesn't pop up (making sure that the driver side door is closed). Then i have to go around and lock the remaining doors by hand.

Remote: I lock the car and the alarm is armed but the car still unlocks itself. I always would have the alarm going off.

What is going on!? The alarm works fine i don't think it is that. Please help. Your issues don't sound like mine but i dream of the day when i can just push the lock button on the remote and have it just LOCK! and stay locked. If i don't find an answer i will have to write a new thread for E36 Locking issues.

P.S. Does the search not work? Something is up with it. It could search for this thread on my computer. Maybe a fluke thing.

Has anyone bought this and made the lock button work by changing the internals and can any locksmith cut it?

from an e34 into an e32?

I keep coming across e34 part outs with EDC but very rarely come across an e32 part out with EDC.

I know some people with 'regular' suspension from an e34 have successfully swapped them into an e32. Just wondering if the EDC would be the same - more so if they physically fit than functionally spec'd the same.

I have a 2010 e92 coupe non M and I want to get some new rims. I found some VMRs VB3, but they are slightly larger than I expected. He said they are 19x10 et38 rear and 19x9.5 et33 front and came off an e46 M3. Are these wheels going to be too wide? Also if it is should I be getting the fenders rolled, pulled or both? Any help would be appreciated Thanks.

Not sure where to start or what to do next. I Have a '90 750IL that is constantly, er randomly overheating. I've replaced the water pump, radiator, fan clutch, heater core and replaced the thin plastic flow-back line from the top of the radiator to the reservoir tank with a larger diameter coolant line. Could it all just be that the reservoir tank (or cap...both plastic) got too hot and expanded and doesn't properly seal? I'm at a loss...The pressure has been so high that it has shot the cap off nearly 30 feet in the air. Replaced the cap but still running hot...coolant tank "whistles."


This car is amazing. Fast. Fun to drive...but shiz is so expensive for it. Thinking I may just sell it and if I do would like to sell it to an enthusiast rather than someone who won't appreciate this 3-ton speed demon.

Help?

Ok so today i was driving home and looked down at my OBC to notice something I've never noticed before. Above the am/pm of the clock was something that looked like a volume indicator or something like WiFi signal. I have no idea what is is but maybe someone on here might know? Heres a picture:




And my second question is; if i plug just the black plug from my 11 button OBC into an 18 button OBC and just ignore the white plug, will i get all the functionality of a regular 11 button OBC, just not be able to use the extra 7 buttons?
