  1. As the title says these are BMW E30 / BBS RZ. Had them a good few years now and have bought a new car so no longer need these, ill be honest and say they are not the best condition in the world as there curb marks (Been smoothed down by myself) and have been rattle canned by myself aswell when i first bought them, also a couple of the spokes on one wheel have been damaged, which can be seen in this picture. just to the left of the air valve They do however run straight, come with tyres and official centre caps with BMW logos. I realise they're not perfect but at the end of the day they look good on the car and are cheap considering they come with complete centre (Didnt come with any when i bought them) and tyres which still have life left in them. Ideal for someone wanting to refurbish them anyway or isnt too bothered because they know theyre cheap (Like me haha) Send me a PM on here or a text on 07747605828 Located in Workington, Cumbria Preferably cash on collection but I can post if I must (Don't know how much for though) Looking for £300 Thanks for looking, Joe
  2. Cambridge Rear Lights - SOLD!! The much loved rear lights that have the grey strip instead of the orange or red strip from the Arosa's or Lupo's. Perfect condition, no cracks at all. They are used but have not been tampered with so they are still tangoed. does NOT include bulbs £80 - SOLD!! I live in West Cumbria so either cash on collection or can be posted at buyers expense. Send me a message on here or a text at 07747605828

    BBS RZ HELP!

    I have the same wheels with a full set of centrecaps. the top ebay link you posted are not genuine, the clip is completely wrong, they might fit and look ok but then its the fact they arent the real thing. Cant tell about the second link because there is only one picture, you could always ask the guy for some more pictures though. the ones you want look like this Some of the clips are broken but you get the idea The "nut" twists and that causes the clips on the back to be pushed outwards which is what locks them onto the wheel. then just twist back to unlock and pull to get off. The ones i have are metal and the nut is plastic, i do think that you can buy metal nuts but if you can then they will be expensive.. Hope this helps in any way... Joe
  5. any help guys and girls with more knowledge about suspension than me... this is really starting to get annoying now every morning haha
  6. No it doesn't jump all over the spot. But in the morning when I reverse out of my spot you can hear it all clunking on the front. And whichever way i turn. When I straighten up and pulls loads to the opposite side of the way I turned. Dunno if that makes sense haha
  7. So basically a while ago my coilovers bust so I fitted some 40mm springs all round on standard shocks, however I couldnt fully tighten the nuts onto the top of the front shocks because the allen key slot was buggered and rounded, me and my dad only managed to tighten them by gripping them with a small pipe wrench and the spanner for the nut. it then went and got the tracking done but only the toe, so it still has some camber, not that it needs it haha. my only problem now is that this was a few months ago, and ever since then it still doesnt drive straight. every morning on the way to work and at night when i come back from my girlfriends house, i reverse out of the drive and you can hear the whole front suspension clunking, this then throws the tracking out and it pulls mega to whichever side i decided to turn when pulling out :/ originally i thought this would go when the springs settled but it hasnt, the only thing i can think of is that the suspension isnt tight enough which is causing the lack of pressure on the springs causing them to slip. Obviously i would tighten them up but i cant, is there anyway of fixing them top the of the shocks? or am i going to have to buy new shocks and topmount kit to sort the problem out? Cheers, Joe
  8. i got a full set brand new set of brembo discs and pads off ebay for £40 if you look around
  9. Funnily enough I don't need it anymore. It works now :/ it must just be a long journey thing haha
  10. Any help guys would be much loved Also some other weird thing happened today, I was driving back from Blackpool to West Cumbria and after about an hour of driving I put my rear wiper on because I couldn't see and the wiper just decided to go continuously instead of intermittent for about 6-7 wipes and then it just randomly stopped in the middle of the window :/ never done that before with normal driving so I was quite annoyed. It also wouldn't carry on after it stopped, you had to unclick the wiper to turn it off wait about minutes and try again :/ Can anyone shed any light? Cheers, Joe
  11. Thanks for the offer but I don't really need them. With the coilovers on the front the car looked abit hunched over haha, so this ones staying on the 40mms, just need a bit of advice to do with what I was on about beore. Joe
  12. I may need a new pair of pants... I've always had a soft spot for 6N2s
  13. Right so its been a while since the last post so here is the recent update haha. Sorted this battery problem out, bought a new one! Even though we got it tested and they couldn't find a problem with either of the batteries it was still having this weird problem, anyway my dad got a new one for me and its been perfect ever since. Changed my thermostat and temp sensor, all the gauges now work fine, don't think I would have need the thermostat but I bought one anyway so I fitted it. It made a little difference to my MPG but not a great deal, every little helps though I guess! The only problem with it now is every since the front coilover disaster where one blew so me and dad had to change them to the original shocks and put it on the 40mm springs to match the rear. changing them round wasn't a problem, even managed without a spring compressor haha, although one of the allen key slots on one of the shocks was buggered so we had a hard time tightening it up but we got them as tight as we possibly could, anyway.. the problem was that the tracking was a mile out so we struggled driving it to the nearest garage, got the tracking done for £20 and the guy said it was the worst tracking he'd ever done haha (I only got the toe sorted (I think) so it still has a bit of camber on the front), so with that sorted. the new problem is ever since then, every time in the morning when i set off for work (or any sharp corner where you have nearly full / full lock on, you can hear both front springs click and it seems like they are moving because they then throw the tracking out again and causes the steering wheel to pull to which ever side it feels like quite a lot until about 5 minutes down the road it sorts itself out... I've put up with it for about a month but ive got fed up with it and could really do with some advice.. Cheers guys joe
  14. ive just recently changed my temp sensor and noticed the blanked off valve, me and my dad just assumed it would be for higher spec models with A/C or something along those lines
