I suppose they can look good, I don't know if 19" wheels would be too large for stock fenders though. Not the biggest fan of LMs but they fit e39 better than my e36 because of the curves.

Looking at E46's, I know about the VANOs issues with them, but what about the AWD?

Found a decent one and I can probably get the price down a bit, is the AWD going to give me a headache?

opinions on tourings?

looking at a couple 2002's, both have a little over 80k miles.

I'm experienced with the M54 engines but not with e46's, i know i'd have to immediately start working on the cooling system and cltuch fan so it doesn't explode. also rear springs probably.

Anything important thats E46 specific that applies to these 2002's?

They're both non Xi 320's, basically the slowest m54 but thats fine, if all goes well i'd do an s54 swap someday.

Gentlemen

I finally did it /bmw/, I finally did work on my own car. I always said I would, but I knew I was a faggot deep down. I replaced the radiator hoses on my E21, which honestly took me about 2 hours, but it felt good. Felt like a retard, but it felt rewarding.

I'm a college student with a basic income. What do you guys recommend? I want something reliable and fun to drive with great MPG.

yes only on a portion of the 91 318is's. I do kind of miss the huge sunroof of an e30 during summer however.

I just got an E30 325is/5 and it's in pretty good condition, but the suspension does a few things that kinda worry me. When I'm going slowly and I push the clutch in, change gears, or let the clutch out, I hear a clunking sound that I think is with coming from my subframe or my differential. How can I check what is making the sound? I don't have a shop or anything to do work in, and I know that suspension bushings are a pretty big job.

>>16272354
The E30 sunroof is great. I thought I would miss having glass but it's actually nicer than the one on my previous car.

Mismatched interior, great condition exterior. 400k, rebuilt 20k ago.

Easily reclaimed/pretty clean E30s for for around $5k in my area.

Benchracing faggot here, I occasionally lurk /o/ for fun but I need advice from you guys.

I'm about to buy a BMW 525i for 2500€. First registered in 2000, driven 340000 km but the engine has 150000 km behind it. It comes from an old family friend I trust, so it's /probably/ not about to blow up on me. Driving it is pure bliss, I believe this is a steal.

This is my first ever car purchase, should I go for it? Is there something I should know about this model in specific?

Probably malfunctioned, 188k miles is the only thing that makes sense from the record. Nobody is going to roll an odo back to 5k miles to trick someone into thinking a base E30 is a magical barn find. The price doesn't seem to unreasonable, looks like it's a well cared for car.

Rust. Look harder. Inside fenders, floor pans, bottom side of rockers, trunk area, the piece from tail light to tail light right underneath the trunk. All surface rust will be three times bigger than the paint bubble. If it isn't too bad its worth close to the ask. Jew him down to $3500 on any issues and enjoy the ride.

Do you think I can change trailing arms in my driveway? They're so fucking expensive. Do you think I'd be OK getting one from pull-a-part or even eBay? They're like $1700 on Bavarian auto.

>>16277633
You should be able to in your driveway, as long as you have the right tools. It would either be the trailing arm, or the entire rear suspension carrier as in pic related (carrier is 1, trailing arm is 8). Wouldn't know without looking, jack up the car and see if the entire carrier is bent. Hopefully it's just the trailing arm, and considering the angle the wheel is at it's probably just the arm. If you can, grab the part from a pick and pull, because grabbing new OEM will be expensive. Ebay should have some maybe around $200 plus whatever for shipping. You'll be fine grabbing used. If you can't find an E30 specific arm, you can grab one from an E36 318ti, since the ti is the only e36 that shares the same rear suspension as the E30.

Thank you very much. I'll read through that. It's also nice to see I'm not the only one who fucked up.
I looked at the carrier and it doesn't look like that's the problem, I think the hub is just bent on the trailing arm. There's one E30 and one ti at my local pull apart so I'll head down there some time and check it out.

Do you think it's OK to drive like this for a few days? I'm going to get new tires anyway.

Good job nitz. You're going to have to drop the subframe. You'll need 2 jacks and a full day to do it. Don't even bother if you're not going to replace the subframe, trailing arm and diff bushings while you're in there. The hardest part of all of this will be getting the subframe bushing aluminum out of the body (it's going to be corroded in there) and the brake lines/handbrake cables undone (also will be corroded solid).

>>16276474
>>16276481
>>16276486
It's a mistake. The odometer always breaks in E30s, it was probably just stopped. There's no way the car has 88,000mi on it.

if you can follow instructions and use a torque wrench, youll be fine.
also make note of the wiring, and which side of the engine the parts came off of ( vanos gears, etc).

>>16279335
>Good job nitz.
pls no bully
>You're going to have to drop the subframe.
Why not just replace the trailing arm and be done with it?
>Don't even bother if you're not going to replace the subframe, trailing arm and diff bushings while you're in there.
I planned on doing this anyway, but I guess I can do it all then.
You mean that I only need to replace rubber and the one trailing arm, right? I'm not worried about getting bushings, but all the metal pieces seem really expensive.
Also I'm not worried about getting all the corroded shit out, I have a lot of penetrating oil and a lot of time.

>>16279335
What'd you swap in? Yeah I wish I had a 6 banger in there but m42 is nice is you need something sturdy and Maintenance free. Since I fucked the old motor, to save money and time I just stuck with a new (used) stock motor. It's got new rails, guides, bearings and rods, and the cams been rotated for a little more bottom end. It also had a turner chip in it when I bought it i didn't even know. It certainly feels peppier freshened up.

E30 odometers break because the gears are made of cheese, and even when you fix the gears you wind up with a dead odometer because something on the board has failed.

He had it listed for $12500 I think. Would probably take 10 g.

>>16279702
E30 m3?

Given the e30s notoriety for odometers going out (although I fixed mine) I wonder if it'd be worth getting an antique auto tag for cheaper insurance (you can only put a max number of miles on per year) and kinda cheat the system. Unplugging the speed sensor from the diff will shut off odometer.

>>16279224
For me, 633CSI > 840
I prefer the looks of the old 6 series to the 8 series, and I like the M30 more than the M6X. Plus, turbocharging a 633CSI (which I would do without a doubt) is much easier than turbocharging an 840, because the 840 engine bay is more cramped.

That's fugly. One piece plastic bumpers do not belong on cars that came from the metal bumper era. It looks like someone ripped the bumpers off of a car 20 years newer and slapped them on that one.

thoughts on a bmw z3?

>>16291362
shit unless you get a z3m

Hey /bmw/, i may be joining your club soon.
With a 523i e39 that looks damn tempting.
Leather, "Edelholz" and, from what i can see in the pictures, in a pretty good shape.
Is there anything special with the e39 i have to look at? It has the M52B25 engine which is pretty reliable, or so i heard, except for the Thermostat and the water pump. Anything else? Also babbys first rwd.

>>16293776
nothing special or expensive about the 523i
a decently relible car (I know a guy with a 800k km one), not very slow by europes standards but is pretty bad on gas for city driving

>>16293792
Thanks m8. Yeah, bad gas mileage(for european standards) is to be expected of a 6 cylinder. I hope to get around 10-11l/100km on average which i could afford no problem.

I do lots of Autobahn driving, how is the gearing? Will it be screaming at me or is it comfy?

>>16291362
I6s are okay. NB Miata is better if you just want a pure sports car, though.

>>16293923

z3 are more spacious than miata's especially if you're tall.

which includes important information like
>can you do repairs yourself?
>can you afford upwards of a grand a year in upkeep costs? even if it's usually less than that

>>16293923
basically this
the z3 is fundamentally flawed by its really old rear suspension design. you can improve on it somewhat with springs and shocks but it's the achilles heel.
its also pretty heavy for how small it is, and you can sort of feel it
also good ones (year 2000+ 2.5 or 3.0i's in manual) are still kind of expensive, like 10 grand is a good price for one.

And far, far, faster. Wow that car looks damn good with Z4M wheels.

I find it funny that everyone loves to shit on the z3's rear suspension but they adore e30's. It's literally the e30's rear suspension because it fit for the size they were building rather than the e36 suspension like they used in the front.

>>16294091
Similar deal with the Z4M, the e46 M3's getrag wouldn't fit so they just used the regular ZF from the I6 Z4. Tho I must admit the getrag is much nicer.

Well this is interesting, at least to me. Gray contrasts any black accents well and makes it look like a proper performance car whereas black vies too far on the generic luxury car side and white is just boring.
Montego blue is also nice but rare.

check all the bolts on your driveshaft. mine were kinda loose when bought and made similar clunks.

I'm considering this https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/5902507527.html

>>16273221
>>16273730
if it's a clunking sound, and sometimes a feel, coming from the center consul. it's the flex disc/guibo and/or the central support bearing, change both anyway, check that your drive shaft is straight too. if you don't change fd/g and csb when they go bad, they can fuck your driveshaft.

Don't get a Z3 unless its an M roadster, or a Coupe (m or non m)

As much as i loved mine, and miss it; it had some serious flaws. Tramlining was the biggest, scariest one. Then there was the really poor interior quality. Everything squeaked, and both my seats and steering wheel had to be replaced at only 120k kilometers.

They don't really drive like a BMW should feel, and it's a big shame because i really prefer the design over the Z4.

I'm now aiming for an e46 touring or a Clownshoe if i can find one in my shithole country. (Apparently, you can't import them as of last year so i'll either have to hunt a clownshoe down or wait till they're 30 years old to import)

It fucking shreds through first and second at wot. Of course i havent driven the car in anything warmer than 55F, but as it stands the car is now too powerful for the toyo extensas it came with on the rear. Havent raced anything though nor do i have a 1/4.

Well I went to the Pull-A-Part today and tried to take the trailing arm off with no luck. It was very rusted and I couldn't even get the bolts to budge after I got the nut off.

There was a guy there looking at the E30 who said that if I take it to a body shop they can just put it on an alignment rack and bend the trailing arm back into alignment. That would be good enough for me. Is he talking out of his ass or can the shop just fix it for me? I know there's no rear adjustment on E30s so once it's bent back that's the end of it, right?

There's this thing called a hammer, use it to knock the bolt out.

>just put it on an alignment rack and bend the trailing arm back into alignment.
What fuckery is this? I've never heard of a shop doing this in my life. First of all, how does this guy think he's going to put enough force on the trailing arm to bend it back? Second of all, you're talking about bending a major suspension part back after a serious impact. This is unsafe without thorough inspection for fatigue cracks and will definitely leave the arm weakened.

>>16298145
>There's this thing called a hammer, use it to knock the bolt out.
There's about an inch of space where I would need to hammer. I tried hitting it with the side of a wrench because that's all I could fit in there and I had no luck. I also put a ton of penetrating oil on it and that didn't help.

>First of all, how does this guy think he's going to put enough force on the trailing arm to bend it back?
He said they had a tool to do it, i dont know dude.
>Second of all, you're talking about bending a major suspension part back after a serious impact. This is unsafe without thorough inspection for fatigue cracks and will definitely leave the arm weakened.
That's what I thought, sounded like a load of shit to me.

>There's about an inch of space where I would need to hammer. I tried hitting it with the side of a wrench because that's all I could fit in there and I had no luck. I also put a ton of penetrating oil on it and that didn't help.
That's because you need to *drop the subframe*. It's highly unlikely you'll ever successfully get a trailing arm out of an E30 without dropping the subframe. The thing has been in there for 30 years, it's not going to come out without a fight.

>>16298184
>That's because you need to *drop the subframe*.
Well I'm not going to be able to do that in my garage so I guess I'll just live with a broken car.

>>16298190
Oh come the fuck on, you don't need any special tools, just two floor jacks and a helper.

>>16298194
How long would it take? It seems like a REALLY big job.
Usually I'm all for doing the work myself. I just don't feel like I'm ready to tackle something like this.
If I ordered a trailing arm on ebay do you think I could take it to a shop with a lift and just have them install it for me?

>>16298205
It is a big job, it's going to take you a day. You have to disconnect the brake lines, unhook the emergency brake cables, knock the subframe bushings out of the body and clean the fractured aluminum from the mounting bosses. Sure you could take it to a shop, and maybe you'll get lucky and they'll be able to pry out the bolts and trailing arm without dropping the subframe, but chances are they won't even try and you'll get charged out the ass for it, it'll be a $500+ job to replace the trailing arm all related bushings. It's unwise to replace the bushings on one side and not the other, and it's unwise to not replace the subframe bushings while doing this job because I guarantee you that yours have failed.

You could EASILY get a nice E36 M3 for that

>>16297919
Sounds comparable to JB4 then. Mine will lose grip in third as well around 4k but I have shitty tires for now. MHD is great though, I'm running the back end flash and the car feels smoother in the mid/low range since it's a proper flash tune.

>>16297900
You can get a well-maintained 335i with 60k miles for 12.5k? Will a 328i still be more fun to drive than a fucking Corolla?

Well maintained no, but autos with more miles can be had at that price range. Depending on your budget for repairs, at the price range it's probably better to find a nice 6 speed 328i as it'll be a lot more fun than a corolla.

>>16298493
>Will a 328i still be more fun to drive than a fucking Corolla?

Yeah, 10k could get you a decent condition, mid-high mileage M3. A lot of M3s at 8k when I was last looking around were at 250k miles, so the pretty clean one I got with 108k miles was a pretty nice find for 12k. Back in 2010, 10k got me a 77k miles auto sedan. Unless that is the most mint low mileage 328is, probably not more than 8k if it is perfect, but what are those chances? 47k miles is pretty damn low, perhaps it is worth it. Those low miles may go with a very clean car.

OR you could take your 7k and give a rough M3 a renewal on life with the other 3k and you'll have done your civic duty, or find a good 328is for 4-5k and just keep the extra in your pocket.

Both are great for FI if you want your car to be mental.

Whoever is the e46 is such a dipshit he can't even take a proper photo, obviously from the post you can tell he doesn't really care about the car much.

I'd probably go with the one heartbreaker posted, just replace the seats. But as he said, look around a bit more for yourself. You won't regret a 50 mile trip if it is for a car you'll actually want to be driving for years.

thanks, im gonna text that guy this week.

Is that a sienna? Pretty rare colour.

Lots of options they had that you don't really ever see. I love my cosmos but BRG makes me drool.

And I crashed an e36 at around 50 mph. Spun into a wall so I guess airbag didn't deploy because it was not head on, but I was completely unharmed. Of course this is just personal experience, but I trust them enough to have gotten another.

>>16305956
It's as fast as a 2006 330i though. I was more concerned with engine noise and reliability

>>16307087
>engine noise
no bmw made post 1990 is loud
>reliability
then you don't want anything BMW made in the past 20 years

So a 2009 E82 had dynamic xenon headlights from the factory. It's time to replace both and the price for even used units is 2-3 times higher than for regular stock xenon headlights.
Does anyone know if I can install regular xenon lights without any issues or I'm doomed to spend a fortune?

What about the ECU thinking that there should be an adaptive module in the headlight but it can't find one?

cars used to be so much fucking simpler. Fucking stealerships and their proprietary tools.

I'm so tempted to buy one because Dallas is lousy with them and the depreciation means I can net an okay one on the cheap, but why is maintenance so goddamned expensive?

Would this be a good price on an M3 this clean? Where I live it's rare to find such a low mileage M3, or well any M3 tbqh. I prefer e46 but definitely would feel like I'd enjoy this. Just wondering from the expert /o/tists what y'all think

>>16300402
>Is your car turbo by any chance?
Yes

>>16311228
Thanks for offering to hook me up with a trailing arm :^)

>>16311109
Looks pretty good, but for $20k I'd expect the body to look a bit cleaner, unless it is just the ground reflection making it look rough. Interior looks very nice. 76k is pretty low mileage. If it weren't on Hemmings it would probably go for $16k on BFC.

Lets just say, you might get a nice car on Hemmings but you aren't on Hemmings to get a deal. I remember when this M3 came up on Barrett Jackson and everyone on the forums was nitpicking at it not being as nice of a car for the price.

why are new BMWs such massive dogshit

>>16311246
because quantity > quality and focus group bullshit caused bmw to lose sight of their original spirit

Why is every part I need on ebay in Latvia or Poland?

>>16311240
Well since it's at a stealership near me I'd definitely negotiate but if they're stuck at $19k I don't think I'd do it just out of principle, I never take sticker price unless it's some out the ass deal (which I've never encountered but have friends who have). What would you evaluate it at if you don't mind me asking?

hey guys, dont really post on /o/, but this thread caught my attention. Does anyone have any recommendations for my '73 cs? The internals are well kept and the wheels are alpina, however im looking for a new bumper/grille, anyone have any experience with this?

nah thanks. Time for another E36

>>16314515
I'm not going to hate because you haven't stretched your tires and it's not too low, but try not to change that.

>>16315017
I actually intend on raising it this Christmas.

>>16315487
Good. I'm so sick of faggots scraping the bottoms out of their E30s and smashing oil pans killing M20s

>>16315490
I have actually smashed an oil pan. But I was on a gnarly gravel road and was kinda asking for it.

>>16315574
Fuck you then. Oil pans are expensive enough already without stance-gays artificially creating scarcity through their retardidation

>>16315673
I identify as a rallyist more than a stancefag but hate all you want. Oil pans aren't hard to find at all. Do you know how to use Craigslist?

>>16315681
>I identify as a rallyist
I identify you as an and idiot because nothing about your car is set up for rally.
>valance hanging down

>>16314656
And E36s are in perfect condition? Every E36 on the market looks like it's been personally molested by Josef Fritzel.

>>16314547
My target price is 15k. When I'm starting to see F30s at 15k, it seems strange that E92s would still be at 20k

>>16315688
My valance is garbage and I'll give you that. But those aren't my rally wheels and tires. I have snow tires on my 14" bottle caps that are great for rallycross. As for mud flaps and lights, who gives a fuck? They aren't going to help me in any of the competitions I run.

>>16268451
Anyone have horror stories about the 2002? Someone at my office dailies a 2002tii and I want to stick my dick in it.

>>16279247

I own a M106 and this is news to me. Normally the oil bar bolts loosen up and every 30k you have to adjust the valves. If a M30 had excessive cam wear, either it was from a lack of lubrication or poorly adjusted valve lash.

>>16316359
>As for mud flaps and lights, who gives a fuck? They aren't going to help me in any of the competitions I run.
Mud flaps will help you not destroy the fucking paint and accelerate your car's inevitable rusting out. What the hell kind of competitions are you doing where night rally doesn't happen?

>>16316433
Well princess I ordered springs and mud flaps from demon tweeks so don't get your panties in a wad. Also a lot of rallycross competitions don't do night events. I've only done one, and my brights were sufficient.

Anyone else in this thread unironically feel bad that they'll never be a effete yuppie stepping his shaved legs out of his red 318is on his way to play some tennis? I can't be the only one.

>>16316185
Here (near Stuttgart) there is a wide choice of stock, rust free and unmolested E36s for between 1200-2000€.

Granted most are 318 and 320 sedans, but we're talking shitboxes for daily use.

There are 318is and 318ti around as well, but they're more likely to be in a rather molested state.
