The theme E30. Crazy hands

My experience shows that most owners of the old BMW live in your special world. No, we are not talking about the fans, which each piston in the original order. There are in our little country. I will talk about those who can Shoe even a flea. With such people I, by occupation, has to deal with.

Read more about the world of these wonderful characters:

Vacuum cleaner for old BMW — a taboo. Apparently it adversely affects the car carpet. And torpedo better preserved under the years of dust :) Hand wash, river water, rubbing sand on "Metallica", is also much preferable to the old body.

Motor oil — the cheapest mineral water. Something like TNCs, LEOL, was Ukoil or AZMOL. Why old BMW something better? It is in fact old. It does not matter that changing the oil every three years. "I don't drive fast..." says the elderly owner of any E28.

Viscous coupling fan for them, a relic of the past. Probably because expensive :) So they either brew it and the fan spins with the engine rpm or are the blower motor. As a rule, with a separate toggle switch in the cabin. Just in case.

Favorite candles are these mysterious characters — Brisk for VAZ 2108. It is with them BMW 325i gives full power :) high voltage wire can stand anything. Be sure to check.

Injector. A good fit of the car GAZ 3110 or those that are caught breaking for spares cheap or from a neighbor's garage, which he was going to throw away. For example, in the process of tidying my former 528i E28, I found out that three injectors were from a BMW 325i, and three others from the Mazda 929. What do you think, good momentum was with your car? And there was Namochenko with the ignition — just no words to describe. My electrician spent all their rich vocabulary of swear words :)

Suspension. The springs can stand a variety — VAZ, GAZ, Mercedes, etc. lengthening the body of the shock absorber by welding metal — for increased ground clearance. Thick rubber inserts in the springs for constant ground clearance regardless of vehicle load. Pieces of rubber instead of silent blocks the rear beam. Convergence, as a rule, last time was regulated in Germany and that's enough. 25 years is enough.

The fuel pump. After purchasing a powerful BMW, up to 540, be sure to look into the tank. 99% will see the pump from the VAZ 2110. The tank is clean.

A flow meter. It's such a simple device that it opened and set up with your eyes closed in every village. What is the detector? What do you mean? If a person has hands and the scent is so delicate it to anything :) I Recommend be sure to check whether it meets the motor. Because the flow meter from 320 to 325 are not uncommon. It is also worth to check the marking UNIT. There can be anything. Lamboy control unit on eslamboli car or, as in the case of my E30, a block from the much weaker version. There are more artful combinations — on the cover of the flowmeter, and its contents from another model.

Corrugation of the flowmeter. New for "Kulibina" is too damn high. It is better to find a suitable piece of hose or duct tape old. The pipes of the cooling system too, none of them buys in the original. It is a waste of money :)

The ignition.Few people bother to replace the contact group. Better to start on the button. Comfortable and beautiful.

There are also real know-how. For example, manual control valve the idle speed. Included graceful toggle switch inside, in the warm-up phase. Look at the photo. It near the clock, delicious, blue:

The best and most reliable fasteners from them — screw. It is found everywhere. Think for yourself, can keep the moldings something better than him?

Also can give you a list of parts, designed for a lifetime of BMW air and fuel filter, timing belt, oil in the automatic gearbox, manual gearbox and the gearbox...unfortunately, didn't do photos. Can show counterpart. So it looks air filter VW Golf GTI-16V after the purchase from the first owner in Ukraine:

Says, drive a little — traveled only 80000 km :)

When I started to have financial difficulties, I sold my E23 in the Museum's sound, because it is not pulling its contents. Sold, knowing that I never be no more.
How to be? Not to spoil and not to kill favorite car. Don't go on it — admire in the garage and remember the youth.

The viscous coupling does not change every year and there are cheaper substitutes.
Candles? Do not tell. The difference is the extreme savings.
The injector is sold for parts used. The task is only to buy those which put.
The fuel pump is also not necessary to bring a brand BMW, and they cost much cheaper. However, twice as expensive destockage. But it does not change every oil change :)
I'm not campaigning for a new meter. But poke the wrong b/C — lack of brains.
Do not pull — sell and sit on a penny!

But what if the person doesn't pull but likes this car. This part of his life. It involves 20-25 of the best years spent together. It is part of the best memories of youth. It is as a part of the body.
What if there is no money for repairs, but to amputate part of his soul does not allow?

Here you can add a category, which finishes off completely: when man arrives at E34, E39, etc., which are broken fog lights, broken bumper, broken seat and all the car straightening and welding work is vital, but the owner really need elochnye drives on 17 and some spoiler (often he even have not decided which one). But there is an excuse: "So the machine is for sale."

I understand that this is typical Trinity — PTF, a broken shell bumper dorectal and torn the covering of the seat of the driver ? The first corrected 90% (need to come up with a new mount to the restored PTF hanging on one screw), the rest is waiting.

I can add the glass on the headlights, and the headlights themselves from cents, sixes, radiator from the classics together with the tank ball from the Lada 21074 carburetor with handle choke even the distributor wazowski met. Modified file pad to size, too, have a place to be. By the way, the thermostat from the classics great gets up to M10. In General, the situation is unpleasant, but the older generation can understand: cars are imported, but parts were not. So somewhere it is possible to meet even the adaptation of Russian transmission and clutch, turn signals and a lot worse things. It is today we can pivas to court in a basket ol the original and on the way home from work to pick up, but about 15 years ago...
I'm not all decisions of the BMW approve, something really could be done better, something never tried to do better, so a reasonable approach to tuning I think it is normal, and then it does not matter what initially detail, though from the tractor. Importantly, the implementation of this part was made with the mind and not degrade the characteristics of your car.

was E30, a 2.8 Stroker (m20b25 nee). from what I can remember — the fuel pump from 2110 (a classic of the genre), the throttle cable from the Soviet automobile industry on numerous twists, clips and other guano, the flow meter is configured to run the engine at one air, plus the 2.3 motor. injectors, spark plugs and wires — a hodgepodge of the cheapest able to pick up (most likely for free) at the nearest VAZ disassembly, and the wires were different lengths, sizes and brands, and candles were from the simplest to the three-sold as a plasma (or whatever they are selling?). about electrician just keep quiet. grip was absent, to fill fuel above 3/4 did not work, because the holes in it (the old owner never more than 5 liters at a time, not poured, for the save) and so, in detail. and the car was sold as a newly restored and fully operational in 1983 for 200 thousand. bought only because of the Stroker (as it turned out the motor really well together, but then, apparently, the budget ran out) and the leather interior of rekaro. separately the owner for a very long time extolled the radio Bedsores, allegedly as cool (but who listens in a BMW with the same motor music?). how was your journey from Ulyanovsk to Perm — surprised, but when everything is changed, and configured such valilava I have not experienced anywhere else. but then I had to change the timing belt, because after the construction of the motor thrust b\y set (!), and conjuring a diff (was from 1.6 like). with brakes did not have time to solve the issue (it was the drums in the back, since the body of code that was 1.6), the car was gone, what still regret. sometimes meet her on Craigslist, being sold cheaper and cheaper, but does not match the availability of all funds on hand and the next selling

Synthetics do not need this motor. Personally I tested on two distinct E23 735 with mileage 170 (mechanics) and 225 thousand km (automatic). When switching to synthetics 5в40 started the oil consumption. On a semi-synth it was minimal, and the mineral water was non-existent. Despite the fact that the car was in the hands of the hot riders.

That just did the oil consumption is not an indicator. I agree, 5-40 watery, better than 5-50 or 10-60. Mineral oil worse, worse fluidity, the worse the ability to stay on the metal, the worse temperature resistance, worse hold the load.

With the subsequent, minimalist progressed to a certain point...
At the expense of oil, I would take LIQUI Moly mineral water, but if you change the TNC on the run 3-5T new, I think is not bad.

The water cleaning properties of lower and higher carbon deposition.
Additionally, the thermal stability of mineral water is worse than blue.
I have a friend mechanic, I saw lots of exposed motors. In older engines, who worked on the blueprint insides are clean, no deposits, just a Deposit. And details tspg blonde. The motors went on the mineral water, in pastels and camshafts in the crankcase clumps of some tar. In the oil channels is also likely. Details tspg resemble blued steel.

Moreover, he writes interestingly and intelligently, as not everyone can, and ignites in people the desire.

I read one person he can about the digging of the trench so great to write that I want to take a shovel and go to dig.
Although I kept the shovel repeatedly and trench digging ever and I know that it is a heavy monotonous work, but drat.

And then also, kind of been done with the hooligan ride and traffic light racing amuse less, but here I read and I want to drive and hooliganism, as in youth, when I was in town with traffic lights tore up to 120-130 km/h

This is a very useful thing for the future owners and to the cars of BMW, I have a series of articles in obligatory Car-review printed. I think after this great E30 on our roads would be so much more :-)

I my Audi I bought. gradually removed from the farm. surprised by the thinking of such car owners. I have a hose valve the idle speed was broken (first thing to check in the Audi!) inserted inside the tube is very thick-walled, in the end, sailed blanks. the seller said that it is necessary to change the whole fuel metering! and well this took off. I changed the hose and everything is OK! and the flow rate decreased and the speed clear! I understand that the main way to get home (but maybe it's a garage repair!), but then forget about it and blame it on the dispenser?!

M
Motto777 26.07.19

The authors suggest in addition to horses and Newton/meters to use the concept of thrust-weight ratio, like sports.
Ie to write, how many pounds of weight a car has on one horse or kilowatts (1 kW=1.3 HP) of engine power. From the nameplate data take curb weight, divided by the herd, under the hood and get.
This is clearly and well represented.
For example, on most budget cars 11-16 pounds on the horse.
8 kg 1 l/s is considered a very good power to weight ratio.
On the bike I was 3.4 pounds for a horse and it was a bullet, just lift the trigger and have already knocked a hundred.

The viscous coupling does not change every year and there are cheaper substitutes.
Candles? Do not tell. The difference is the extreme savings.
The injector is sold for parts used. The task is only to buy those which put.
The fuel pump is also not necessary to bring a brand BMW, and they cost much cheaper. However, twice as expensive destockage. But it does not change every oil change :)
I'm not campaigning for a new meter. But poke the wrong b/C — lack of brains.
Do not pull — sell and sit on a penny!

A good "bluff" — more money...so I think those who bought clunkers is trying a little to ride on it, then there comes to them with time...I have been through this farm passed in 1991, enough for one car...Now change the parts on time and to the original machine but WHA really cheap and inexpensive .

We bought the family meal. For example, Audi 100 1984 V. with mileage 107000 km in the native paint cost in the winter of 1994 in the amount of 3500$. BMW 520 1989. at the end of 1995 of$ 9,500. And for sale stepfather always brought from Germany great car. Cost they generally, in 4000-6000 dollars.

And where it says that the car was bought big trouble on the last money? You probably forgot what the machine was diagonalis from Europe to mid 90s, I think you your stepfather will remind you. The whole meal, which was only. And no one looked at the condition, because those cars cost 200, 500, 700 marks. And sold these machines at 1500-2000долл, even before reaching Ukraine. Speaking of which, when it came E28 bought for 700-800 marks on the discs and cool Schnitzer body kit, and with the music on 1500марок, which was successfully removed. With such incomes for all was a damn working there a viscous coupling or not.

d
digree 26.07.19

It was not necessary to buy cars for the money. I remember that time. First, all of our cars in those years were quite fresh, and didn't bother to failures. And consumables purchased and the original oil take good. Space prices can't remember. Those who could buy a car for 6,000 to 7,000 in the mid-90s, could buy parts for it. I remember in 1998 I was on their College savings bought synthetics Chevron 5в50 to the parent chord and the filter is Mann, because he rode on it. A masters course then it was not enough. And now the sensible bit :)

lsd2506 26.07.19

I agree with the author, for the Hoover and collective internal and external(Christmas trees and stickers), I'd hands broke. But in technical terms even I was engaged in the farm. And it was in the early 90s. And because they do not have spare parts, and those that were cost as parts for Boeing. As hands are in the way of mechanics, then I have replaced brake pads, and electric fans instead of clutch, and carburetors from Lada. But I conducted these on the Ford recall in the 90s. Why should I suffer with the original carb on a Ford Transit, if no one can properly set and moreover repaired. And VAZ soleks 073 after a competent specialist, I only once a year, the prevention did. When I bought my first BMW 320 1986.in. such manipulation, I'm not spent, but got another problem is a lack of information. When I was in the box in place of pure oil red color (probably ATF) pour the hell knows what (book matched), after which I began to engage the transmission, it's a farm not a single owner of the BMW, and the problem of industrial scale. And it is no where else but Moscow Varshavskoe shosse, 1996. not a small service. I am sure that most of the BMW live with these defects for a long time. People bought the BMW knowing nothing about them and how they need to operate, but when faced in the process with the fuel consumption, and then the repair of many financial could not stand, and that kolosali or sold, or even worse real estate for many years in garages. Now, in the time of Internet and this website as D2, go farm stupid. But everyone is different and a lot depends on internal education. I've met wealthy people in expensive cars, but lack of understanding should look like one or the other car.

Synthetics do not need this motor. Personally I tested on two distinct E23 735 with mileage 170 (mechanics) and 225 thousand km (automatic). When switching to synthetics 5в40 started the oil consumption. On a semi-synth it was minimal, and the mineral water was non-existent.

Most of the owners are not even aware that the parts in the original you can buy in principle. It's the former owners of releasepromo, confident that spare parts should be sold at the nearest auto parts store, and if they're not, and did not happen at all. So you can put:
-carburetor 8 key, it's much more economical than PIERBURG with its electronic control. The ECU can now be removed with a knife cut off all his wiring, and then give it to the new owner with the words: "I don't know why this is, in Germany from the factory for some reason put"
-electropump from Gazelle, includes buttons. Why to repair native, because the button is so wonderful trains memory and attentiveness: forgot to include — get the led head
lights from 6-Ki just made for E21,23,28,30,32 and 34.
without the thick caligola viscous coupling will not function properly. Parse smear, collect them and then blow up the myth that the M20 motors created the miscalculation of engineers and prone to overheating at idle.
