The fix-a-thon on E30 is in full swing, we remove the broken subframe bolt, it gets all-new fluids, clutch sorted, new fuel pump and suspension overhaul with Bilstein B6 shocks. We also end in the kitchen, as you normally do on automotive channels, and cook a valvelicuos meal.
Check out Bilstein suspension for your project:

@gosportjamie 2 жыл бұрын

BMW did lower the ride height on the E30 pretty early in its' life, and again when it got the plastic bumper restyle later on, which is why there are so many part numbers for original springs listed. They wouldn't have done that if there was likely to be a clearance issue on speed bumps and the like, and even the later 325Ix 4wd version had a lower ride height than the early 320i and 323i without sports suspension...

On the throttlebody there is a small pin that adjust the closed position of the throttlebody butterfly. Adjust it so it can´t close completely. If the butterfly is able to fully close it will throw of the vacuum-controlled idle and make your idle too high or erratically go up and down. Keep the E30 stuff coming!! :)

The Simons exhausts are also known as Jetex. Extremely good quality and fitment and they are aluminised for rust prevention, it will eventually rust but it should last longer than a factory exhaust. That being said I’d go with Supersprint if I could afford it. Another option is to go for the dual pipe 325i system which what I fitted on my 1988 320i. The only modification needed was to modify the diamond shaped flange where it mated to the manifold, the hole spacing was slightly different so the holes needed elongating slightly to fit over the studs.

I thought the exact springs and shock models had to be available 10 years after first registration date for the H-Kennzeichen, which mine were not. My E34 already had the H but the previous owner did not register the springs with the TÜV, probably installed them afterwards. Had no problem to get it registered, the inspector commented "80s BMW would be more period incorrect without lowering springs" 😀 Depends on the inspector I guess. Also he was something like the head inspector for my area or something, the "normal" inspection sites were actually not sure if they could register the springs and did not want to do it for liability reasons.

The 320i before the Facelift only had one Tailpipe. With the 1987 Facelift came the double-tailpipes, afaik and remember. My father used to have one of the first E30 320i, at about 110000 km the engine went bad. After a long high-speed trip on the Autobahn one valve ripped off after shutting the car down at the house. Next morning no start, tried to tow it and ruined the engine that way. After a complete rebuild the engine never ran like it did before. Always had an idle issue (idling between 800 - 1300rpm) and a slight hesitation when revving up. We replaced all vacuum hoses, checked for other leaks, replaced a bunch of sensors without any luck. 3 or 4 BMW dealers didn't have any luck in tracking the problem down. Good luck with your pristine E30!

The springs will settle in with time and they will be lower. It just takes some time. Like a month or two. That's why when you replace major part of your suspension in the front and do the alignment, you have to do the alignment again a month or two later when you notice your steering wheel is pointing at wrong direction when you're driving straight. Give it some time. The springs are clearly lower than the old ones so they just need time to settle in and get fatigued.

Re 29:20, as others have said, lowering springs shouldn't be an obstacle to getting the Section 23 inspection (Oldtimer-TÜV). The criterion is that the modification needs to be "contemporary", as in: available within 10 years after the car's initial registration. Aftermarket lowering springs for the E30 would have been available within that time frame, so no problem. My 1991 E30 has them, just passed muster with full marks. Still, best talk to your TÜV inspector in advance. M-Technik ones are going to work as well, of course.
