24v e30 touring is my dream car. i'd rather have one than an e30 m3.

yeah a little detail worth mentioning!

welcome, good choice for a first bimmer.

so you are saying if the car is not parked at this weird angle it will start fine 100% of the time?
have you thoroughly tested this theory or just notice that when it doesnt start it seems to be at 'the hard to start angle'?
it sounds like a red herring to me.
 
is the car running 100% OK once it gets going?

your reputation has not preceded you, so some of that info may be helpful

What do you mean 'slave went out'? Did the push rod come out of the cylinder? Did the seal blow out?
 
Do you have the right slave cylinder?
 
Also, i belive the word you cant think of is 'and'.

The uuc shifter isn't adjustable for throw, only height of the shift knob. Yes it can reduce the throw effort a little by making it longer, but that doesn't make it work for more than one chassis. You could do the same thing by buying a taller shift knob. What I'm talking about is being able to adjust the distance between the pivot and the lower connection to the shift rod.

i said 'etc' because I knew I was missing something (yes the truck is awesome)
 
the taillights are pretty cool, I will give it that.
 
also, smart of you to buy a BMW that has cup holders.

I don't know exactly, but finding the diagrams in the etm would help you here. My guess is the stock radio harness probably grounds to a bracket or body in the drivers footwell. If you take out your radio and kick panel you should be able to follow the harness.

Glad you got it solved.

there are some suggestions I've heard. i didn't bother to do anything, because i could only hear the whine if the radio volume was quiet and the car was not moving.
1)separate left/right channel wires from large power wires in stock wiring
2)completely new wiring with RCA cables, aftermarket amp, etc.
3)noise suppressors?
4)ground the radio to the same ground as the alternator
5)new radio ground on sheet metal as close to radio as possible

335xi must be insanely fun in the snow. welcome!

it doesnt really have one name, but is somewhere along these lines:
c-pillar gutter trim
rain gutter trim
roof gutter trim panel
 
they often go flying off of e30s on the highway if the clips start to wear out. i've lost one!
 
and when searching on ebay, make sure to use model name and year instead of 'e30', as parts sellers or junk yards dont necessarily know chassis codes.

It was the day after I bought my first (junk) E30. Great looking car for sure.

I passed dan on the Hone during the last "snow storm"

Bueller?

'smoked in' never comes out. on my last e30, most of the time you couldn't tell someone had smoked in it but the minute you blast the ac or heat, for the first few seconds you smell the ashtray awfulness. the last two previous owners both said they were non-smokers (and they were credible) so that means it still smelled like that at least 6 years since the last time a smoker owned it.

i have had one of these for years now and still havent figured out how to mount without making holes in my plate filler!

you need some brake parts to fill up all that room.

why did they make this fold? no one who spends $5,000 on a BMW bicycle is going to fold it and put in in the trunk - they are going to put it on the roof rack like a trophy and never ride it.
