hm... anyone thought that two pictures might easily solve this ? one from '84, another from '91 ? i also knew that the builb can be changed from the trunk (makes sense, too). perhaps you have an aftermarket 3rd light ? i'm not sure that in '84 they had it at all... at least on our contintent. my chassis number (1987) doesn't give me any parts for it. they only seem to exby jaffar - Technical Forum
ok - this is weird. i made a long(ish) drive during the weekend, including lots of twisty roads. i had someone drive behind me (i hope the movie turned up ok, didnt see it yet) and they told me that my rear-left tire seems not inflated enough. i checked and it was at 2.0 bar (i run with 2.2 front and 2.3 rear - so -0.3 difference from the right). i fixed it and ... WOW ! now the car doesn'tby jaffar - Technical Forum
i am not doing "racing launches" often, but i don't like that this type of slip exists, so clearly something is wrong. i have no idea what the previous owners did to this clutch - but i know that if you drop the clutch at 4krpm, you should leave a very long tire trace on the road, and not just watch the rmp meter go up and speed meter very, very slowly start to move. i did moreby jaffar - Technical Forum
@rkj: yes - but it's really 100% identical with the E30 (except maybe for the damn dual mass flywheel) @Dave: i have some symptoms, but I'm not ready to buy a clutch and a flywheel so i prefer to fool muself that maybe not both of them are broken syptoms: - if i rev the engine a lot (4000+ rpm) and try to make a launch with clutch drop, I get a lot of slipping for 1-2 seconds, tby jaffar - Technical Forum
hi all how can i check my clutch and flywheel without taking out the gearbox ? a mechanic told me that i could take out the clutch slave cylinder and measure something. any details ? any other way ? thanksby jaffar - Technical Forum
Michiel: good one I would also think that in more developed countries, we would have more right turns, because of this type of intersection: I'm not worried about tire wear, but about something that is very obvious (to me, at least, haha): all used BMWs that i've seen have these similar features: - the rear right suspension is always lower - they always lean more when turby jaffar - Community Forum
oh... when will someone decide to make this in my country !? please ! i need it so badly ! i'm so tired of wannabe specialists, i want to work on my own carby jaffar - Community Forum
i wonder - how many right hand turns are there ? what about left hand turns ? are more of a kind than the other ? what about in a year of regular driving, do we turn left or right more ? thanksby jaffar - Community Forum

maybe stiffer springs will also keep some confort for city driving but... if i change the springs, shouldn't i change all 4 of them ? and if i also change the rears, then i will reduce the effect of transferring grip to the rear ?by jaffar - Technical Forum
QuoteDave_G Thus the general rule of thumb is that a thicker bar will reduce grip at that end. So a bigger front bar will cause more understeer, or looked at another way, can counter unwanted oversteer. By the same token, a bigger rear bar will create more oversteer by reducing grip at the rear, so it can be used to dial out unwanted understeer. This is why big rear bars are so popular with driveby jaffar - Technical Forum
hi guys what should i expect from installing a thicker anti-roll bar (anti-sway bar, stabilizer bar or whatever you want to call it) ? i know that there were some basic rules, like "thicker bar -> more oversteer on the opposite axle" or something like that. then we'll get into more details on why i want to change it thanksby jaffar - Technical Forum

here's a big bait from the start i admit i don't know a lot about diesel engines, only the basic principle about how they work. everywhere and i mean EVERYWHERE i read that the most important advice everybody gives you is that you should never drive a diesel under 2000 rpm, or push the throttle hard when you are under this engine speed, because disasters WILL happen: the turbine wiby jaffar - Technical Forum
not sure fwd is a lot safer at this time of the year. the crappy shit that the mayor pours on the streets during winter also helps to this feeling. the asphalt looks like... well... SHIT. all the small and grippy things in the road are completely levelled by this brown slippery substance. it's like driving on ice.by jaffar - Community Forum
snow rules. we don't get it here so much in the past years we get at most 1 day of snow / winter. in this crappy city. this year, even the mountains are short on snow. i remember back in 1986, in my home town, one evening was so nice and clear, next morning we had 2 METERS of snow all over the town. it was beautifull, no car, no pedestrians, just snow all over took me 2 hours to get toby jaffar - Community Forum
QuoteThe ram is quite inefficient. Usually 8 gallons of water must pass through the waste valve for each 1 gallon of water pumped by the ram. That is acceptable for a creek or river situation, but may not be a good option for a pond that does not have a good spring flow.by jaffar - Community Forum
c'mon, it's a real thing. LE: ok, i found it. it's called hydraulic ram.by jaffar - Community Forum
there was this topic along time ago about a strange device (invented way back in time, like hundreds of years). it looks like a big plum, has some ingenious things inside and is able to bring the water from a small river uphill. not too much, but still uphill. does anybody remember it ? i have no idea what keywords to search for thanksby jaffar - Community Forum

it's your imagination. i changed the oil (good type, expensive too) 3 times because i was hearing noises in my head. everybody told me i was insane. all E30 engines click. from both the injectors and valve rockers. I think M42 should be more quiet, since it has hidraulic lifters. hm... why are they called lifters anyway ? they don't LIFT the valves... they PUSH then down.by jaffar - Technical Forum
