I just swapped my E30 320i to M50B20 from M20, the car runs okay, but the needle from the temp gauge jumps a little front and back when driving in the city, and I want to know if I can keep the radiator from M20 with an electric fan, can you give me some advice please?
Unfortunately I have no information and can’t help you in this matter! But if the m50 radiator fits, why not get one! But I would understand if the sensors don’t fit bolt in! But you could check behind the instrument cluster behind the temp gauge and check if the nut is loose(common problem) Or just buy a new temp sensor! Sound like you have an issue in your instrument cluster tbh! Check the nut and look for erosion! After I cleaned mine up and change the si board and temp sensor everything works perfectly
Whaf is the distance betwen your roof racks? I'm lookign for a hard shell RTT for my Audi TT but the distance between both bars are 57cm (max weight is ok at 75kgs)
The z3 probably had like 60-70 cm maybe.. Maybe get the roof racks installed and go try out the tent on the car if it’s possible.. The roof racks can always support more weight, 75 kg is while driving was my reasoning. It’s not easy being a pioneer for the Audi TT, but testing as much as possible. That’s basically what I did with e30 and z3
@CasualKap thanks for letting me know....yeah...its super hard. I've got different UK tent companies and Chinese manus all saying different things. Insta? ID please :)
@@challengeronrift I hear you! At Travelling speed I definitely see 75kg as a maximum for sure! stationary I’ve done around 180-200kg on all my cars with bars saying maximum capacity 75kg, but I did a lot of testing beforehand:) What kind of roof racks options do you have? my ig is @lifeofkap1
E34 owner here, sedan. I have the original E34/E32/E38 racks and they list a 100kg load. I am wondering if I could install a rooftop tent plus two people.
Its Leather paint! It still looks great one year later. But it’s pretty fragile and you have to be careful to not scratch it! I would do it again but maybe use a real stronger spray clear coat👌
Hi! Thanks for the videos. Is there any way I can reach you (Instagram for example)? I have a bumper that looks somewhat like yours, but i can't figure out what it is exactly. It needs a lot of work so I'd like to know before I get to work on restoring the plastic 😄
Wow!! Spanner ash watching my videos❤️🙏!! Thank you heaps for the kind words! Your videos helped me a lot this summer working on my 318i! I love your videos man, perfect instructions, I could listen to you two all day! Super inspiring stuff!!
Hi friend! My reasoning is that the car should always be able to lift its own weight if it flips over. You should always read in the manual the capacity and read about the capacity of the roof racks! In this video i used 3 racks, but your car can probably only have 2 racks. In theory it should work if you are “ normal “ weight! We were pushing around 200 kilograms on my roof without problems! Z3 coupe and e92 have similar roofs and where you install the roof racks so I don’t see why this should be an issue! There must be someone who has fitted a RTT on a e92 by now and might have the right answers for you! I see no reason why it wouldn’t work! Good luck fam! Let me know how it goes:)🙏
@@CasualKap Hey man! Everything going well /w the setup so far? I have an e82 and want to do the exact same but our roofs are rated for max 70kg/150lbs - been holding off on it but if you've seen no issues I don't see why I would
Even if your roof racks say it can only hold a certain weight remember that that weight limit takes into consideration while driving at 60+ miles an hour. For camping you should be fine
@@r0beh280 damn! That’s super expensive! I paid 300$ for the hardtop you see in the video🤯 I figure you live in the UK, Reach out to e30_tsm and said I sent you and ask him if he might have any leads on where you can find one maybe?
Hi, Unfortunately not! Maybe if get a ceiling mounted machine in your garage that raises and lowers so you don’t have to do it by hand, car roof boxes have these types of setups.
Usually Facebook marketplace / e30 groups is the best place to look! Not sure which county you live in, but maybe eBay, but that can be super expensive.. If you live in America start reaching out to ppl who have a vert and hardtop and see if you can source one out with the help of the e30 community ✌️ England, US and Germany has a lot of hard tops 100%
@@CasualKap i currently live in the us and travel to Canada and Mexico often but I haven’t had any luck on finding one - might try Facebook marketplace! Thank you so much
@@RubenRenteriaJr I know some people In Cali that might be able To help you! You can write to my friend Danny E30streetsweeper on ig, he can maybe help you source it out! He has the best connections in Cali tbh! And I know there is a lot of verts there with hard tops! If you write him tell him you spoke to kap and he said you might be able to help🙏🔥 Good luck friend!
Hey, I'm the original owner who did the restoration of this car in Sweden. Would be a lot of fun to talk about the car. You can contact me as I live nearby.
The color change seemed to come out looking very well. I would have liked to see some closeups of the leather repair, though. I have to imagine that after all of the paint work on the seats the leather would have turned somewhat hard to the touch, though.
Everything is depended on the prep work.. The colour doesn’t hide the 30year old leather structure / ware and tear without leather filler It’s not hard to the touch, leather paint is kinda soft.
I assume that this car is not your daily driver, and unless I’m wrong, this car isn’t being parked outside in the elements on a regular basis. So, how would you characterize the interiors durability so far? Has it held up reasonably well so far?
@@weifeng5958 i dont recommend doing this.. this is me experimenting and trying out different visions I have.. I suggest just reupholster the seats / interior is the way to go. This takes to much time and effort, it’s really hard to get right.. and you have to be good at using a spray gun as well to get an even layer..
