According to my decoder it's a 240/5 Getrag. It is a M40.so engine damper does apply

Hi Eddy, the 242 won't fit behind the M40, has to be a Getrag 240 of maybe a ZF, most likely the getrag tho. Check your numbers?

Guess that makes it a M10, pre f/lift 318. Not sure on the damper then sorry.

Right hand engine damper The M40 has a small shock damper on each side of the engine next to the engine mount. Connects the engine mount arm to the front xmember. Not sure on cost, but very easy to change, 10 mins. Heater hoses, I'd change both, cheap insurance, and not hard either. Same bravo, bought a 4 door manual M40 for $800, did cambelt and all fluids, some of the hoses, changed steering rack to power steering, changed steering column, someone had bent it trying to break the steering lock when stealing it, total cost was $300 for parts, gave it to my sis for her kids to learn to drive in.

I use double sided tape as well, with a dab of MS sealant on each side for insurance, not too much mind or it'll never come off.

Looking good Jimmy, like the spokes

Of the 5 318 f/l auto's I've wrecked, 3 have been 4.1's, other 2 were 4.45's.the only 318 m10 I've done was a med case 4.1. obviously some could have been changed, but the most common source for 4.1's I know of are 318 M40 autos.

Probably 4.27, but maybe 4.10 still?

Most likely 4.10 if auto facelift M40

Anyone able to help? Cheers.

fan's 32mm spanner, comes off clockwise, opposite to what you'd expect. Wouldn't expect it to be water pump tho, more likely thermostat or radiator from the sound of it?

Not if you have a car in the race series.

You're right, 323's stopped in Sept 86 if my info's right. Isn't it also possible to change the sensor position to facelift location with a few mods?

Facelift and prefacelift use the same box etc unless I'm mistaken, ie interchangeable..

You need to see if it is a small leak. If it's a small leak when it's cold, it will be pissing out when it's hot!

Sounds like a leak, check all the hoses, including heater hoses. Is the floor on the passengers side damp by any chance? Is your oil clean, no cloudiness at all?

Hi Jen, biggest PR hit for me would be sponsorship for the naked racecar, it is a BMW

Guess he was lurking as a guest, sneaky lurker

I guess the thing is that you could throw that sort of cash at a 318, and god knows I luv them , but, you'll never see it again . At least with a Mtech 325 you'll stand a good chance of seeing most of it when you go to sell. You'll also get a lot more fun on the road with the Mtech, well, more power anyway.

Interested Bravo, when are you looking at ordering, before the races or after? Wouldn't mind having a chat about it if you're coming down?

I'm with Bravo on this one, Nz new is no guarantee with an E30 at their age. Base your decision on a thorough inspection, I've also seen some good imports and some bad NZ cars.

Probably Nik's, aka Reaper47 here.

Just so you know Jared, the M10's aren't eligible for the series, only the M40 4's. Good luck

Yes, both m20 motors.

No, doesn't fit, different bolt layout. Both are getrag 240's tho, just different types, be careful.
