Euro 320i

[ANDRÜ]

That is the same part # as most of the ECU's I have laying around. I can send you one for the cost of shipping. The later L-Jet cars with a #308 ECU have more pins.

No kidding!! PM sent...

Dat steering wheel.

Any joy in getting her running yet, Andrew? Need more Burgundrot E30s on here!!!

[blunttech]

smack the injectors with an open end wrench one by one while someone spins it. I bet they are stuck closed. Happened to 2 s14s I had after sitting

[henryki]

what kind of steering wheel is that?

[ANDRÜ]

Yes, got it running. The ECU was the problem. A new one was shipped from a member in Australia and the problem was solved. Once Im out of school this June Ill have some time to put into this. On break I replaced brake lines, all fuel lines, cleaned injectors, fixed vac leaks, IE street rear subframe bushings and RTABs, and stripped/painted rear subframe. Next up is the timing belt, waterpump, new exhaust (old one was rotted out) and body work. Hopefully Mtech I someday when I get money. As for the wheel, I really dont know, someone said its a euro sport wheel. Doesnt look too sporty to me

Good to hear you got it running we need more euro 320i's on here.

[henryki]

any updates on this car?

[ANDRÜ]

Very slow progress. I graduate the academy this Saturday, so Ill have some time to get things done before I ship out. Im home this week and will tackle the timing belt and water pump to atleast get it reliable for the road, and hopefully some new tires since these on the stock steelies are dry rotted. Hopefully Ill find some weaves or bottlecaps locally for the time being. I have it running pretty well finally, right now Im focusing on getting it on the road, Id like to drive something other than my lifted cherokee! Once things really get going Ill start something up in the project section.

That car is much cooler than you might think. First, it's a Euro, so you get the sweet bumpers, funky interior bits, it's a manual trans, AND it's a slicktop. The whole car probably weighs 2,300 lbs or so. Fenders are cheap and easy. What you have there is a quite rare E30 that should provide a solid foundation for a sweet ride. For God's sake don't butcher the thing; plan your mods and resto work carefully and listen to the style police on this forum before you do anything major. Nice pick up!

Glad to see you're still making progress on this. Burgundrot 199 is the best colour.

That steering wheel is from an e24 (the early - mid eighties e28 era one).

I've also seen very early e34's with them at the junk yards.

Glad to see another Burgundrot car. Mine will be a US-spec "tribute" to your car. I ordered Euro bumpers and a 731 head. By the time all is said and done my "$500" car will cost me at least $7 or $8K...and I'm getting antsy to get the paint/body work going.

Thanks again Dan, I'd probably still be looking for a ecu if you didnt save the day.

Oh I know! My parents think Im on dope for wanting to put so much work into it, but it is so uncommon in the states, Id hate to see it go to waste.

Excellent! Sounds like what Im going to end up putting into my "free" e30 :D
