E28 - is that EFI or carb? Reason I ask is I have a spare M30B28 sitting in a scrap E3, however that's a carb engine of unknown condition. Someone may pipe up with one that's better quality, however if you get stuck I may be able to help unless there are differences between the carb and EFI engines other than fuel injector notches in the inlet ports. I also believe most M30 heads would be the same (save for maybe smaller capacity), so you may have a lot of options there. Let me know if you get seriously stuck and I'll try extract the motor, and go from there.

Yeah that will be a small transporter collecting and taking it to Hamilton first.

I think the The issue would be that most of the bigger car companies don’t run out to Whangamatā that often, if you can get it to the Tron depot it should be a lot quicker and cheaper

Took car in for its Cert inspection today. Few things to rectify after talking to Paul, main concern being the removal of the front seatbelt pretensioners. Currently I have just bolted the rear seat belt buckles to the transmission tunnel, but it appears the pretensioner must be kept. So ive managed to remove it from the oem seat, and disassembled the big yellow connector to now only contain the pretensioner plug inside of it so the connection to the car remains as it was from factory and no wires in the OEM seat had to be cut. Now will just bolt that to the transmission tunnel. Other than that, just needs a few more spring washers in some places, wanted some more information around the brake swap especially the adapter brackets, and to level out the front ride height, seems to be about 8mm difference across left to right. Mostly pretty straightforward stuff, took a bit of thinking with the pretensioners but should be somewhat straight forward from here, and then hopefully a legal car soon, once I pass the wof it failed for exhaust being too loud and the front right headlight angle being wrong...

Hi all Finally managed to get my 2017 F30 340i on the dyno this morning. Running Bootmod3 Stage 1 93 Octane map and XHP transmission flash, Stage 3, otherwise stock. I was genuinely surprised at the power generated here, considering that stock standard it's meant to have 240kW, 322HP and 450Nm. Now with a few software tweaks, it's got ~309kW, 414HP and 600Nm at the wheels. Incredible! Highly recommend Prestige Motorsport if you're in the Wellington region too, they were really accommodating and super nice guys.

the french mo'er has major structural rust. i should have known. :sigh:
