Also have found this problem, have bought a bbk for my e36 but need to retain rear handbrake, any thoughts on this, I've found a few options, from machining the original disc to adapt it for a floating setup like so: To a kit from "massive brakes" in Canada, but he only sells kits and won't part with the specifically designed park brake ring he's developed (fair enough too with all that R&D) I've also found some wilwood factory options but am unsure on final fitment, still have to rip a wheel off and measure the internal diameter of the hand brake shoe. So does anyone have any ideas/ knowledge on the subject? The cert guy won't do hydro hand brakes for road cars so I need another option!

European auto spares have LOTS of wheels in stock, so whatever you do, don't buy straight off trademe through them. I was able to bargain them down $400 off the listed trademe price, for a full set of wheels. I figure if you're looking at spending that sort of money, buy the real deal, why buy replicas when you could spend a bit more and have the full monte. Imo style 359 look the part, style 351 are getting a bit over used/ lots of reps around. But that said each to their own.

Thanks for the offer but I've sourced one now

Bump... If anyone has set I could borrow I'd be indebted, money and or your choice of poison. Can leave something as insurance etc etc

Looking for either, any condition would prefer something that's free, ie run bearings etc. Only need it to measure and compare alongside a set of "hot cams" Don't want to fork out the cash on something that isn't the real deal. Yes I have looked at photos online but I would much rather something I can chuck a vernier caliper on and know for sure. So what have you got? Have to non vanos and better if they're proper f'd. Happy to pick up, need one/both by Saturday and can shell out a box of beers and or some cash. Located in West Auckland

Pretty similar, and damn they look good!

May also be interested.. Need to find me an E30 for them though

Would you consider selling the longblock without turbo, turbo kit and gearbox? Do you still have the factory ecu to go with the package?

I did some panel beating in the past, and it's all in the prep work, the more time you spend meticulously sanding and priming the better finish you will get with the final product.

Re installing the headers (if you do buy them). Make sure you take the engine out unless you're feeling like putting yourself through hell. I recently put them in on my own car and Bmw don't make things easy putting on the engine the 45! 4 bolts per cylinder makes for slow tedious work, oh and remember new exhaust gaskets too.

They're pretty hideous things.. have always thought they should have been rear engine similar to the AW11. Here's one in racing livery, looks a darn sight better than from the back.

Your guess is as good as mine, I put down my model and what year it was correctly, so it must have been a mistake by the tester. Would this affect the results?

But that's not the case, as I have a M50 and have put a M52 manifold onto it, ie took the "less restrictive manifold" off and put on the "more restrictive manifold" with the aim being to increase low end torque. Call me out if that's not what you were meaning?

Looking for vacuum leaks today, and have booked a scan for next week. The exhaust is more of a make do until I can afford a proper two pipe setup, it came with the headers and I haven't had time or money to take it anywhere yet.

The brand of shocks are "STD" they're built really well so I was surprised by the loose bush. For the moment I've installed a large washer on the outside of the bushing to stop it coming off if it were to slide. After fitting to the car it was impossible for it to slide out because of the angle it was on, but better safe than sorry. Also when the weight of the car was on the shock nothing moves at all.

Okay so sorry for coming in late and bumping a really old thread, but here's a dyno of my 325i. Considering I put the M52 intake manifold on it, it seems only fitting to be added here. M50tub25 Getrag 5sp box M52 intake manifold (gasp!) Standard intake piping and airbox M3 headers 3" straight pipe with gutted standard muffler. 3.64 Lsd So gear ratio wise very similar to Brent's friends 328ti.

Hey I've got a 328i full exhaust. Pm me, your inbox is full?

Okay so I've been installing some trick new suspension this afternoon and when i came to putting in the rear shocks i found one of the bushings pushes out by hand. My train of thought is that this is less than ideal bit in all honesty im not exactly sure. Pics show bush. Other side bush doesn't budge.

Scarles sells them, though they're plastic but they do the trick. 90 cents (don't quote me on that) a ring.

Got factory ones from team mcmillan when I put my m3 headers on, they still had stock half a year ago. Worth a try
