My timing was not the best so I feel this message got overshadowed by "Enduro pit stop gate" and "SCCA corner worker gate". I know there are allot of e30 guys out there that must have done this type of upgrade and I think the subframe on an e30 325 it the same as the e30 M3 bushing wise. A few people did respond and I appreciate it but I did not get very much to go on for troubleshooting this issue. Hopefully you don't mind taking another look at this problem. Don Stevenson BMWCCA Boston 1988 325IS KP#49 1987 325IS Street This is a problem I am having with my 1988 325IS E30 KP racecar. I just got the PowerFlex race quality subframe bushings installed. These are hard Urethane (black), Bimmerworld and other places sell them. They installed these with e30 M3 top plates for added stability. The problem is the subframe (SF) is moving around. At my last track day I noticed this at various times on the track (like under braking going downhill) I would get a loud clunk or snap. I also could feel this shifting of the SF while jacking up the car by placing the jack in the center of the SF just in front of the diff. When torquing the rear wheels I will also intermittently get a loud thump or crack as the car rotated forward. I took the car back to the shop that did the work and they discovered that the e30 M3 top plates were upside down, so the indent on this washer that is contoured to fit over the SF bushing was facing up. They flipped these over and put it back together and declared it fixed. I also noticed that these top plates were loose when I got the car back the first time, loose to the point that you could spin them with you fingers. After they redid the work only one of the washers is now loose (drivers side) but all the symptoms I described above are still there. Can anyone think of what the problem could be here? **************************************************************************** This message is intended for the addressee only and may contain privileged or confidential information.

I think that time has come. He is looking at a rust free (read California) '90 325i 5spd. Carfax is not running any freebies right now. Does anyone have an active Carfax account to run the following VIN for me? WBAAA1318LEC68281 Thanks in advance for the help. My brother thanks you as well.
