And loved them. My first was an E reg 1987 325i manual (not a sport) in Zinaber red. I drove it like I stole it everyday. It needed a few bits and pieces one month, suspension bits, tyres etc, so I took it to my mechanic friend. He assured me that if I continued driving on the road like I was I would be in a ditch next week. He could tell from the way the car was worn out. I took his advice and purchased a 325i sport manual in black, that I started to take on circuit days. I spent cash on this motor. Brakes uprated, suspension uprated, quality tyres, stripped out, with 2 bucket seats. Not long after this I ended up in a ditch on the track.

I don't have any e30's anymore but look back on my time in them with great fondness. Even the ditch incident.

      BMW 125i E88 - Passenger Mirror Fault (RHD)

      Hi all, During some fault diagnosing, I've come across a fault (009CC4) on the passenger mirror side (UK). It apparently has to do with some comms being disturbed. I've tried to clear the fault but it keeps returning. I'm wondering if the fix is to replace the glass or to somehow check if there is power at the connectors that plug into the glass. Not sure how to check if there is power going into the glass, so my first reaction would be just to replace the glass, but then again without knowing the cause it may not solve the problem. If anyone has come across the cause and fix for this then I'd appreciate some help please. Thanks

      LED adaptive headlight / high beam failure warning

      Karl If you have a seized level sensor arm either change it or lubricate it as it really could be your issue. Fix faults first other wise trying to reset Fault Codes is a waste of time as they will just return. As I understand it each Headlamp has 3 modules (1) a main Headlamp module (2) a Headlamp Control Module (3) a Cornering Module make sure the plugs are clean unplug them a spray with Contact Cleaner and reconnect making sure they are seated correctly Then try disconnecting the battery to clear faults Dave

      LED adaptive headlight / high beam failure warning

      Evening, I'll be disconnecting the battery in the morning and will report back. Flashing the high beam a dozen times clears the error. Also the last vehicle check report shows rear headlamp levelling sensor rod seized. Maybe a cause. I'll check the directory if battery disconnection doesn't do the trick. Cheers Karl

      LED adaptive headlight / high beam failure warning

      I have the same issue on my 340i (17 plate). It first started last winter occasionally. No problems during the summer, but now it is every time it rains or has rained, particularly if cold and dark. If I use high beam it works fine, but then I may start to get adaptive headlight failure warning (again as far as I can see the adaptive headlights still work). Would love to know if disconnecting the battery works. I figured a loose connection or that a rodent keeping itself warm in my engine bay has had one nibble too many on one of the wires. Cheers Gareth

      LED adaptive headlight / high beam failure warning

      Hi Karl As the lights are working and from your description correctly it could be a plug or pin that's a little gungy or possibly a software glitch There is a register of BMW Specialists check it for ones near you I would check them out and get a proper diagnostic scan done as warnings are often a symptom not the cause. The Battery disconnect is actually something that Dealers do to clear faults so may work. Dave
