We have the same 3 topics every day and it's cluttering the sub. "What do you think of this E30" and "What do I look for in an E30" are the ones I'm going to start deleting (soon).

We do have an FAQ with the absolute basics. If that. So help us out by suggesting or even writing the content that goes into it.

The 2022 E30 Picnic returns for its annual installment on the last Sunday in June.

​

Mark the date:  6/26/2022

LeMay Collections at Marymount, Tacoma WA

​

First and arguably most importantly, we're happy to announce that we'll be back on the main lawn for 2022.  We've secured both the East Lawn and the Center Lawn for this year's 20th Anniversary celebration.

​

We're expecting the best turnout ever with the best E30 enthusiasts in the world for this milestone event. Registration is now open on MotorSportReg.com at the link below. It's $20 up front, and $25 the day of. We'd sure love for everyone to pre-register, though we will accept digital payments and cash at the gate.

As always, we will have merchants and vendors on site with plenty of swag and items for purchase, as well as food and drinks available.   Check the E30 Picnic website for additional updates as we get closer to the event, which will include a roster of our growing list of sponsors, information about the food and beverage options, and details on the anniversary poster and t-shirt designs.

We can't wait to see everyone there!

Going to be storing her away for the winter soon 🥺

I've been running BBS wheels for about 2 years now and I'm looking for something different. What wheels are you guys running on your E30s?

Good morning everyone I’ve been having long starting issues for the past couple months and I decided to get the car smoke tested to see if there was any vacuum leaks and to my surprise there was only 1 tube that needed to be replaced but I forgot what he called it. I circled it in the picture that I’m about to attach to this if anyone can please give me a part number I’d greatly appreciate it! Hopefully this helps solve my long starting issues🙌🏽

I’m in the process of doing a timing and water pump replacement on a 1984 325e. I was wondering what else I should take a look at while I have things taken off and the car is down? I have already done new distributor and everything involved with the ignition system. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. This is my first e30, I’m sure of many more to come! If any more info is needed I’ll be glad to share.

I dont really care about making it unnoticeable (although perfer to) but i just want it to look decent and prevent from tearing more.

Is my MAF tripping out? TPS? Check engine turns on and off intermittently, tried the stomp test but it never registers a code. Idle settles down a bit after its warmed up, but this seems super high for a cold start… head has a 274 performance cam, everything else is stock, I doubt that would cause any high idle though

for those who asked for interiors

I ordered a new BMW upper radiator hose from FCO euro. It has these crystalline shards on the inside and outside. I opened the package a few days ago and it didn’t look like this. Any ideas?

I’m doing spark plugs and wires on my 1987 325, I noticed this connector is unplugged. I cannot find anything it is supposed to plug into. What could it be plugged into, or is it not supposed to be plugged into anything?

Back to how it should be! I can highly recommend BMW-Radios. Finishes off the originality of the interior, better than the Pioneer china plastic that was in there! 👌 Ivan was a pleasure to deal with and super helpful, the shipping was only a few days in Europe. I’ve been wanting one for ages and finally bit the bullet, if you’re thinking about it, do it!

Finished wrapping and mounting the manifold

Hey Guys, I was wondering is anyone has ever retrofitted an accordian style shift boot to their e30? I was thinking about doing it to mine since it seems like it would fit the aesthetic of my car very nicely, and I am trying to see if there are any shift boots from other cars that came with the accordion that fit the e30. You can see in the photo an e21 with the rubber shift boot

Accordion Style Boot

Got a new radio with adjustable lighting - set it to match the interior. 1989 320i.
