See you there TJ.

Welcome to the forum Sandy and congratulations.
I couldn't just have been me wondering what country your flag represents

There were not many RHD cars made, it would help if you post some pictures of your car, it will help others help you.

TJS,

These rises whilst they contribute to the feel-good factor, are only really relevant if your thinking of selling at some point, when would that point be reached to tempt you?

Sounds interesting, Let's see some pictures?

Taking into account some of you attend the Loire Valley Tour later in May, I am thinking May 13/14 or June 10/11?

What else is going on around that time?

Jet

Hi Pat Thank you for your helpful reply! Its green with black interior and its probably a 6 out of 10 car. 1 repaint and the seats have been recovered, but generally a decent car. The fuel leak was the only issue to address. Can you tell me which BMW dealer you use? - as clearly they are better con...

Thanks. Can you recommend a firm? they would need to be able to post the items as I live abroad. I didn't think a country existed that didn't have an E30 fan base, where is "abroad"? I can't answer re international postage, but usually any local independent can do that for you. Be very su...

I am looking for a recommendation on a parts suppler, who can supply such items as Fuel pump, Upper radiator hose, Lower radiator hos, Rubber ring, Intake rubber boot.

Thanks for reading

Unless I'm wrong, they are standard E30 parts, available from most outlets.

Smartarse ! :D I was thinking about replacing the aftermarket radio/cd with OEM if I could find one. I know you have deep pockets Gazza, but how deep?

"The Z1 AUDIO SYSTEM is a rebadged SONY XR-7302 Radio Cassette Head Unit, these branded units were only made for the first <200 cars before BMW switched to the more common Blaupunkt and Alpine units from the 3 and 5 series of the vintage." Possibly the latter, so I'm still none the wiser ...

It depends on how much support the idea receives, if we get the same numbers then yes, or somewhere similar with the same facilities or better.

S52 engine? Am I correct in thinking that this was the "M" engine used in the US instead of the S50 engine used (in earlier Z3ms) in Europe. The S52 being a bored out and tweaked 2.8 M52 engine without the full power/performance of the S50 M division engine? Z1s are very rare - would a no...

I think, not certain, but I saw a black oval/oblong plastic cover in my cache last year....they have been NLA for years those things, I wonder if they were used on any other car?

I use a soft indoor cover underneath the outdoor cover on my Sprite.

I use a outdoor car cover, but I'm having car professionally polished and have been told it scratches the paintwork. So which is better if I want to reduce surface scratches?

Looks like a ruptured rubber fuel line. It is probably worth checking hoses and replacing with modern J30R10 spec Nitrile lined hoses given the Ethanol in modern fuels will degrade Butyl based rubber hoses.

Mine was built in August 1990 but was not registered until April 1991, in Turin, to Eddie Irvine. Perhaps that indicates the increasing difficulty BMW encountered in selling this unique but by no means overpowered car. I wonder how much Eddie paid for it? Very little, if anything at all I imagine, ...
