A BMW megathread ? Yes! I'm surprised at the lack of E30 stampede. Representin': My 91 318is. Bilstein shocks, H&R 1" drop springs, polymer subframe and trailing arm bushings, Hawk pads, polymer swaybar bushings, heavy duty shock mounts, and NO sun roof.  Flash hides nothing  Subframe bushings are the single worst job on an e30 outside of rear wheel bearing replacement. (usually trailing arm replacement, instead..)  E21's need love too.. (My 1980 320is that has sat in my shop for almost 6 years)

Sigma X posted:You don't need to remove the subframe to do the bushing install. It can be about a 2.5 hr job, for the IE poly bushings. Yeah, but I decided to paint it and do a number of other things at the same time, so it became an adventure in agony.

Dyscrasia posted:Quick question: I also have a 91 318is. The seal on my oil fill cap degraded and caused oil leakage - so I simply sourced a modern M logo piece. I would imagine this is what happened to yours, as well. Here : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-...sQ5fAccessories That's the exact unit I have.

This is a random question, but I hate most of the E21 boards that are out there.. Can anyone tell me if the in tank fuel pump for a first generation (76-79) E21 will fit in the stock fuel tank in a second generation (80-83) E21? Bavarian auto shows the same part number for the "right" fuel tank, which I assume means passenger's side, which is the one where the pump is. My friend and I are mechanically restoring my e21 that has sat for about ten years. We're switching over to a weber 32/36 and ditching the stock fuel setup. The problem is, the gas tank is full of varnish and the original screen has been destroyed. The screen is NOT sold separately. We're cleaning the tanks, but I don't want to run the original fuel pump without a screen, as a new second generation E21 in tank pump is $200. We are replacing the external secondary 70 psi pump with an aftermarket 6 psi unit. The thing is - a first generation in tank pump is $20.00. I want to use that pump and screen. Any help?
