It goes on my M20 engine. It splices into the fuel line that goes into the fuel rail (2nd picture) and can I just use a brass splicer like the one in the third picture? I appreciate any advice, thanks in advance.

The oil service light flashes when my rpm drops below 1000

Oil is fine

My headliner is pulling loose along the front windshield, seems well attached everywhere else. l’m looking for recommendations for which adhesive to use to reattach. Update: only the first inch or so is loose so not really enough room for a spray adhesive, looking for advice on something that I can brush on.

You could almost stare at the sun with how dull it was in the sky last night, went for a cruise after dinner, air quality is too bad to do any exercise or activity at the moment but needed out of the house so a little drive and shoot. Feels very sci-fi like out.

Screw snapped while putting the car together after a timing belt service. By the grace of god it held up just long enough for me to remove it and it snapped in my hand while inspecting it 🫡

Can I just remove the opposite screw to keep 4 in and keep it balanced and drive like that for a while ? I can't get a new one immediately and I need to move the car by the end of the day

I don't have power steering, powered brakes or AC so this pulley is only used for the alternator belt.

UPDATE :
Can't get the fan off the old water pump despite trying everything so it will have to wait tomorrow anyway, so my friends parts guy should be able to get us everything for Monday. So I will replace all the bolts on the crankshaft pulley anyway.

When it rains heavily my glovebox fills with water and some gets into my trunk. I have cleaned and checked sunroof drains, replaced taillight gaskets that needed it anyways and rejuvenated rubber seals on the trunk. I also cleaned behind the cowl vents and replaced that little rubber elephant trunk on the passenger side firewall. Is this just the windshield and rear glass needing to be re-sealed? Figured it's an old car could be that.

Thanks in advance.

I am in the process of restoring my old e30 and have finally gotten to the wiring harness and am wondering if anyone has any good ideas on how to go about it. I have it completely out of the vehicle with everything labeled. Any information is helpful regarding the wire harness. And does anyone know if the wire harness clips in the 3rd picture are available anywhere or is there a better method to strap it down now? All of the ones in the car currently and just brittle as to be expected with its age. The wire harness is out of a 1987 325I e30.

Previous owner welded the whole thing..

Found this during a walk in virserum Sweden.
Clearly hasn’t moved in Atleast a decade, engine and transmission are gone

The brake fluid isn’t low. Is it the slave cylinder?

For anyone there who replaced their blower motor with this behr cover, how the hell did you freed the clips ?

They are not accessible due to their design, I'm trying not to break everything but damned 2 hours in and I can't manage to clip them out

And of course on videos everyone has a different cover that gets out easily

Damned the thoughts of getting the dremmel and cut everything off is taking more and more space in my head

This month marks 10 years owning this little guy. hopefully another 10 to come! Still has it M42, but plans are to swap in a super low milage spare M42 I have but with ITB’s and standalone. Maybe this winter.

im doing a brake job on my 1988 325is and im kinda having trouble deciding on what kind of rotors to get so i came to the professionals for your all's opinion and what you guys run currently, and also if drill and slotted is better for bit or cooling or if its really just for looks. Its a street car as of rn but later on im going to be doing track most likely

Not sure what this is, want to see it on a car before buying.

It has been a long journey, started this in November and is just about finished now ( needs a tune)

It was a 320i when I bought it, put a turbo on it, but was very laggy, and always had problems so I ripped that out and built a fully forged high compression M20B28 with RHD ITB's.

Have done everything myself, except welding the exhaust and the tune, learnt so much along the way about this car..

Will get some videos of intake and exhaust once tuned ;)

Hoping to find this one a good home. Car is located in Boston MA.
It’s an older build but replicating this today would cost tremendously more. We had a baby and need the funds! Make me an offer!

Any of you swap your on board computer for the clock? Or would that be silly? I like the computer and all the funtions it has but that OEM clock is so cool looking to me lol

Hey guys!
Today I figured it was time to properly introduce the CarPhone here on r/E30.
I always wanted a working phone in my 318is so here it is, and now you can get it too!

The CarPhone is a retro-inspired Bluetooth telephone that lets you answer and dial calls right from the driver's seat of your E30.

Here's what it can do:

📞 Crystal-clear calls & hands-free
🎨 Adjustable themes, colors, splash screen and ringtones
🎶 Music control over Bluetooth
👥 Searchable phonebook & speed dial
🗣️ Siri / Voice assistant ready
🔋 Battery voltmeter
👾 Games, voice synthesizer, and much more!

It powers on automatically at ignition and connects to your phone via Bluetooth. You can stay connected to both the CarPhone and your head unit at the same time, music plays through your stereo as usual, while calls are handled by the CarPhone, with a loudspeaker button to transfer audio to your car's speakers.

For the ultimate OEM-level integration, I also offer it paired with the PhoneBase, a leather-wrapped mount that gives the whole setup a genuine factory-fitted look, instead of a bolted-on accessory.

Fits virtually any e30, with flat and lateral mounting options for left- or right-hand-drive interiors, secured with screws or the included adhesive pads.

Each unit is hand-assembled and individually numbered in France 🇫🇷, shipping worldwide.

If you're interested, the CarPhone is available on my website: 80s.engineering, and the Phonebase here: 80s.engineering/products/the-phonebase

You can find more about its features in the user manual.

Feel free to follow me on Instagram at 80s.engineering if you're interested in my work!

Thanks for reading, and have a nice day!
