E-mail Steve@blunttech.com for deals on replacement parts, he's a grumpy old guy on here with more cokc jokes than you can imagine. Fet Lemforder control arms and tie rods, I had a set of e-bay specials, and the boots tore out within weeks, letting the greased balljoint get contaminated. Blunt's a good guy, and he ships everything promptly. Get a list and get some prices from him. Blunt

realoem.com is the place to go to find part numbers, FYI.

Part #1

Cool so i have to replace whole parts instead of that lever only? this shit is really gonna be really cocky now.....
oh yeah about Blunt part, i belive i will learn some proper English from him lol since i am an international ASIAN student here in the U.S. .....:roll:
so which brand or what type of control arms I should get? performance ones are okay becuase eventually i am going to upgrade my entire suspesion system.

[whiltebeitel]

Just get OEM one, E30 M3 arms are aluminum, but they are around $300 each side. Lemforder is the preferred brand. ask someone parting out their car if they will sell you the handle. You should be able to get it open with a pair of pliers and a strong pull on the cable.

I am absolutely dumbfounded at how you have not been flammed to death for some of the questions asked in this thread. I have seen noobs run off just for saying hi......it must be either the holiday season or you have the Kavorka.

Surely its not a lighter more gentle r3v is it..... I know what will put an end to this... Fuck you try searching some stuff...... but I kid I kid.

Good luck with your new ride.

i think you are the first one, it is okay though being noob and getting trash all the times scene I have experienced before.
You know what searching is good but not all the times help out.....I am pretty sure you can't always learn a new thing by searching without out asking.

Pelican does a great job,,, I have also found that my dealer is cheaper than the local auto stores for most fluids..... escp when you get the bmwcca discount.. who would have thought.

Make sure you stay with oem parts as some cheaper alternatives are not worth it.

[E30Kaiser]

Don't listen to any of these guys telling you to buy anything, just get a clamp and use that on whats left of the lever, job done.

no, he'll buy a 325iS and put JDM crap all over it, thus ruining an okay 325iS. Then said JDM covered e30 owner will tell his PPL about it and they'll all do the same thing. THEN, when all said in done they will go up to the "mountains" and "drift" and probably wreck. All while we hear about "OMG, my PPL and I R GonnA go dirftin in the hills, who all wanna join?" And then it will be "OMG, one of my PPLS was driving going the speed limit, maybe 5 under, and slid on some loose gravel into the side of the hill, do you thank its totaled?"

have fun. Buy an 84 318i and swap an m20 in it. That should be plenty of fun.

but I dont think we need him to take it that far. He just needs to get over his fast and the furious dreams and just get in a really car.


hahaha I have a 325e and im selling it for a 318i late model. lol

You could also just stick a flathead screwdriver through the front grill and twist to get the hood open, but I believe you have to remove your driver's high beam to get access to it... don't remember.

[naplesE30]

Cut a huge hole in the hood. fix what needs fixing, put a really cool fake carbon fiber scoop over the hole, then put some e46 m3 vents in the fenders and call it a day.
