Cool projects still have shite jobs Not too caked up but port inj means it'll end up in the cylinders, so needs to be cleaned. Used brake cleaner and a HD pipe cleaner, prob about 4 passes each, then compressed air and more brake clean. Came up decent. Cleaned up the gasket surface Also gave the block some love, diluted HCL acid sprayed on, left for 15mins, then rinsed off. Had a fair amount of oxidation, like a powder built up in places. All cleaned up. Gave the cut engine cover a paint job in tungsten mett. Removed all the engine bay loom, which was taken from the donor 335i auto. Manual and auto looms are a little different. That's this weekends job, make a decent loom from each, fixing the bits that er need fixing.

Totally on my mind, after watching the P1 and Tavarish last night C02 blasting , yeah drool....makes my project look like project cars for dummies... Here is me selling my walnut blasting machine and a 30kg sack of walnut 2 years ago...sheesh Carbon gunk removed, mostly onto me, at least well transferred...

Looking pretty slick ... I reckon you should get a dry ice blaster ... so I can borrow it

@Kees if only i had a Mclaren motor but yeah they will be cool once ive finished building them. Im also keen to do another roadie up to Aucks at some point to stretch the legs of the e46 4.6is swap.

Hello Kris, Is the E30 M3 Group A technical data still available for purchase? Thank you, Bill

Accidentally got another after being less masochistic for yonks. Cleaned it, made the wife clean it. Will probably clean it some more. And then count all the fun issues that come with E61 life. Does fit the car seat better than the TT did...

I use one of these and really like it: https://avinusa.com/10-25-multimedia-navigation-system-for-bmw-1-series-e81-e82-e87-e88.html There are many clones on Ali if you want to save a few bucks. Just be sure to go Android 10+ with at least 4GB of RAM. Install is involved but not too complex but paying somebody to do it could get quite expensive, it's many hours of labour.

just rung my local bmw dealership (should've done this in the first place) they do stock our CHF 11s Fluid for around $48 1L BMW brand which I suppose is the same as pentosin.
