So a couple of days ago this handle started falling down..

It still works completely fine but it drives me crazy like this.

I wanna fix it but i don't know how to open it?

Is there a spring holding the handle in position?

Am i even able to fix this or do i need to buy a new handle?

First time this light came on for me at least..

I know, i drove this car about 8-9k kilometres and it's time to do an oil change.

But i wonder how does it work? Does it have some sensor that turns the light on, does the SI board calculate some stuff and then it turns on, i just wanna know how, when and why does the light turn on🙏🏽

Thanks!

If someone was to ask me how was it during my month long 7200km Europe trip through 13 countries in a slammed 38yo car without AC and power steering, I'd just show them this video🙏🏽

​

A while ago i posted here my announcement video of the trip, so i thought it would be cool to do an update post.

​

Soon I'll be dropping a full video on yt(i just don't have time to edit) but until then you can checkout more of the stuff from the trip on ig mljkvc_e30

​

Let me know what you think about the edit🙏🏽

And if you have any questions regarding the trip or the car feel free to ask!

​

Peace, Marko

The pic is just for attention and my e30 is the blue one in the middle, please read the text below i need your help🙏🏽

​

Anyway, i just did 7000km around Europe in my daily e30 and i broke my steering rack(it squeeks, rattles, and has play)

My steering rack is manual which means i don't have power steering and it's kinda hard to drive but still i got used to it and i can operate with one hand, i even love the feeling of old school manual steering..

​

Now since it's broken i need to fix it or change it.

New rack is not under 200-300e here, and a used one is around 100-200e(who knows in what condition)

And i also need to change the tie rods while I'm here..

​

With all that needed to change I'm questioning if i should swap it for power steering from e36/e46/z3.. even tho i love the manual feeling

​

I need your guys opinion and experience with swaps🙏🏽

Tell me everything, how much did it cost, which one is the best/easiest swap, was it plug&play or did you need to do modifications, how hard is it to do(I'm planning on doing it myself), does it make a big difference or is it just okay.. and those kinds of stuff🙏🏽

​

Anything you write will mean a world to me so i appreciate you taking your time to comment!

When i bought my e30 the km clock didn't work and it was stopped at 120k km..

​

When i tried repairing it i noticed half of the board was VDO half was Motometer so i figured someone was already playing with the board and who knows what was done to it beforehand..

​

I eventually got a used working board with 300k+ km on the board..

​

Anyway i just wanted to tell you that there's no way that i know how many km my car really has and I'd really love to know that.

​

Is there any way that i could find that out?

​

On this car a LOT of things were changed like the whole interior, body kit and a lot more except the engine where only the broken things were replaced it wasn't swapped..

​

Please let me know how can I figure out how much km did my car do in the last 38years🙏🏽

​

It's e30 318i from 1988 with m40b18

Please watch the video ..

Now please tell me how did this happen how did the sun roof bend and how do i prevent it from happening again?

Please take a look at the video..

As you can see for some reason my right blinker on the dashboard is not blinking..

Outside on the car the blinkers are working..

I put in the new bulb that i know is working 100%

So what could it be?

It was working before and just stopped all of the sudden.

Please watch the video first..

And my question is, what's that little circular hole for, it's original on bmw and I'm curious if i can use it for my microphone..

What's its purpose?

I just did 7000km in my e30 and started hearing bumping noises when going over potholes

Is this normal play when lowering the car?

I just did 7000km trip and noticed some bumping in the back

Is the normal movement for the axle?
