Resently I desided to go ahead and try a little electrical trick on my e30 and try to make my side markers blink with my parking lights when the turn signal is on. After i finished, and tried the blinkers, not only does it blink really really fast, but now ONLY the side marker blinks. So i swiched them back to regular wireing and they work but still blink really fast. How do i fix this??

The blinker relay speed is set by the resistance in the circuit. If you blow a bulb you reduce the resistance and they blink faster. It may be a dud relay, but since you say only the side marker goes now, I would check the bulb in your turn signal. Is it the same on both directions? Weird to blow two bulbs, but possible.
Hooking up park lights to blink too would create VERY high resistance and possibly overload the relay. Don't do it unless you are prepared to fiddle with wiring, relays and fuses to get it all right, which by the sounds of things you wouldn't.
Good luck -let us know how you get on.
