Your new signature gif is... disturbing Having fun cleaning 25 years of oil vapour/gunk etc from the intake system. It's pretty grotty.

Should be good for a laugh

1990 e30 318is NZ new this is the twin cam 1800 engine, motorsport suspension, abs brakes, sports seats, premium sound system. Bought this locally about a year ago. Have fixed electrical things that didn,t work. New front genuine splitter, new exhaust from headers back. New bushing in front steering arms and links. 15'' basket weaves with good rubber. Spare is 14". Interior good, just a couple of cracks in dash. Paint work average, has been repainted at some stage but not well unfortunately. This is a genuine car that just needs some more care. Will give a 325 a serious run for its money!! We bought this gem as a keeper, only selling as I need an auto for medical reasons.... Would consider a deal with nz new e30 325 se or e36 328 motorsport. contact 027 4548801 $7500.

Please keep

Good luck finding an e34 sump for reasonable money. Wreckers on here will want your first born as a deposit... however, if you can find an old e34 with a m50b20 motor, that sump will fit as the 2.0/2.5 blocks are the same basic casting. Likely to be able to buy a 520 for peanuts as nobody wants them (but they are also not very plentiful like the 525's, so happy hunting..) You can use an e38 m52b28 motor, has the correct sump on but you will need e36 engine mounting arms, the e38 arms will not work. This is the route I would take as there are plenty of m52b28 e38's to be had for cheap. When I did my first m52b28 conversion back at least 10 yrs ago now, I used an e36 coupe as a donor, and e34 sumps were plentiful as the old e34's were dying and getting wrecked aplenty. However, most have now gone to china to make toasters so slim pickings to be had.. Using the m54 motor will involve major work to get the integrated electronics working, not worth the effort. If you want to speak to someone who went down this path, get hold of Westy. Easier/better to find a 3L crank and make a stroker m52 if c.c. floats your boat. Best... M60/M62->e30 is for real men..

http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=116803&page=30 Heaps of useful stuff stashed away in this guys build thread, including the bit on the very last page about the E38 oil pickup pipe being a perfect fit. Not sure there's much power difference between the M52B28 and the M54B25, newer DME is considerably more complex than the older Siemens units. M52 is easier in respect of being able to use the stock management with minimal faffing about, M54 is a bit trickier given the traction control & EWS integration. Not sure if it's possible to delete the unwanted bits off the MS43, though with the right people and enough money everything is possible. All the proven swaps I've seen either delete vanos and use a remapped DME or go for aftermarket management. Just something to consider if you have budget constraints Otherwise, have at it!

That was quick... (no surprises there)

Don't all ask at once

This basically covers off everything you need. http://www.e30zone.net/e30zonewiki/index.php/Engine_Swap_-_M5x

lol i have a new signature half made on my desktop i should finish it off haha

You need a E34 M50 sump and oil pick, Not M20.

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-912841139.htm I heard on the forum previously it had been thrashed. Anyone viewed it?

Finally seen the new touring, looks good! Cheers Gaz. Also brought a manual e30 with a snapped cambelt. Who needs parts?

How can you judge any car when you drive a fit? xDxDxD

I recently bought V710 rims directly from VMR for my 135i so just ask them. I would think the majority of their wheels end up on BMW's of all shapes and sizes so they have really accurate info and know what you will need. Mitch who was my customer service rep got it spot on for me - the wheels look amazing and have a great stance and even make the car look a little lowered with no rubbing or anything - I still have stock suspension and arches etc

Hoi, Westy! Found your next swap for Alice!

You're a wizard, Harry.
