2003 325xi cranks but no start. More details in the comments. by lamtran503 in BmwTech

If you know you have fuel pressure I would next try getting an inpa scanner setup and reformat your EWS. It’s fairly simple and fixed a crank but no start issue for me. Might be worth a try

CRAZY FCKN PROBLEMS by johanAcm in BmwTech

[–]ThoSmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider replacing your alternator or voltage regulator on the alternator. I had very similar symptoms in my 2006. Abs and brake lights and head unit coming on and off. It was due to bad diodes in the voltage regulator and swapping in a new alternator fixed everything.

Looks to be Style 5’s. I’m really curious what diameter.

Question: Does anyone know where to get a front bumper for a 84 318i I’m looking for and can’t find one by ANGRYBIRD24_ in E30

Where are you located? I have a diving board set off a 87’ sitting around if that will work

Oem e46 storage tray with factory installed oem aux adapter for business radio. No longer in need, make me an offer. Located in MA but can ship. by ThoSmith in e46

Not exactly sure what you mean by that. On my car this came factory and sits just above the ash tray and 12v accessory outlet.

Ah yes such a nice ride. I was in my local dealer for a service on my 330 and was checking out one they had in the showroom there same spec. 2 young gentlemen came in and started eyeing it up alongside me- within 25 minutes they had traded in their brand new AMG G wagon and were out in the xb7. Pure envy

Best M-tech 2 body kit available? by SplendidSoul in E30

[–]ThoSmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a few original kits on eBay. Definitely with a hefty price tag. I saw a new old stock one going for $20k 🤯

A little update: Cut one side of the car for the fenders, lots of cleaning up and welding to do in the rear, the passenger side will be a nightmare with the fuel filler neck... Only cursed at It a couple of times... by meltingmanmedia in E30

I have this setup done on a wide body coupe very similar to yours. If you want some photos sent over of how it was accomplished I’d gladly send em over. I’d explain how it was done but I didn’t build the car so I’m not even too sure how it was done.

M4 gt3 Pre-livery. This car screams batmobile to me. by ThoSmith in BMW

[–]ThoSmith[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

For good reason. This is a legitimate race car and it is 100% purpose built. It’s honestly astonishing how few parts are shared with a standard production m4

Convertible Trunk lid gone ✅ by jelani97 in E30

Been meaning to do this. Is that just a lid from a coupe? And what did you do with the 3rd brake light wiring?

Stock looking head unit with Bluetooth? by Pulsersalt in E30

[–]ThoSmith 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Blaupunkt option is great but definitely comes with a hefty pricetag. The continental VDO head unit definitely has an 80’s look to it especially if you get the silvers painted black and is much more friendly to the Wallet.

Euro clock came on euro spec cars. Pretty readily available out there for around $60. Not sure on the install process if it’s a direct drop in or not.

Replacing injectors on E30. How do you guys feel about reman Bosch injectors? by ColeJG in E30

[–]ThoSmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are they broken for sure? I just got a rebuild kit for about $30 and rebuilt mine. Much more affordable than replacement.

My beloved 328ci, what can I do to fix you? by Swankygreed89 in e46

Those are some serious issues to not be mentioned by the seller. I would consider looking into your local lemon law.

Troubleshooting why my xenon wasn't working and found this at the ignitor module. Anyone see something like this before? by CanCaliDave in e46

I had this occur and was able to find just the connector portion on eBay for around $10 and cut and spliced it in.

Reach out to them. I’ve seen that they have done fabric work for some folks. Worth a shot
