M10 is a great motor. With a ton of work Mike Delmont is going back to M10 blocks on his 600hp 2002 Turbo. His car was eating S14 blocks.

VAC in the states will have all the required parts for a proper rebuild TJ. They are very well known for high powered well build BMW motors. You could always send it to them to rebuilt. They do a heap of international builds.

I see them driving around more that you would think. Not as cool as Glenn's E36 328Ti though.

Seen a few on Ebay recently. UK and US ones. Also a few S85B50's for less than 10K. Do the conversion I say There would be many a BMW mag chasing you for a story.

PM'd you both. Cheers, Dan

Its all to do with resolution. 1080p will look much clearer on your TV than 720p. 30fps vs 60fps is to do with how smooth the video will be. 30fps tends to make fast movements look blurred. 720p @ 30fps is pretty basic. But not bad for that price. If you are doing any action sports I would look for something with at least 60fps. The cheap Go-Pro or Sony Action Cam will be suitable.

Have updated the list of parts and adjusted some prices.

Ahh the Golden Years.

Isn't the E34 box a Getrag 265 and the E30 a 260? Could be different ratios.

He moved to Aussie as far as I am aware. Saw him at the racing not long ago. Geoff might be able to get you in contact. His profile is linked below. http://bimmersport.co.nz/user/5339-fiat-131r/

Merc is something different. At that price it could be driven the way it was meant to be. Everybody in NZ is too precious with their M3's and no one drives them the way that made us love them anymore. That makes them boring. There is a few great race cars however.

That's E60 530D money. Bound to be another E60 530D M show up sometime soon.

You can also buy one of these in good nick and you have 20K left out of an average E30 M3 budget. 20K can buy some pretty decent upgrades.

Was Scott raping it just a little?

I would. The only good E36 is a Stripped out race prepared E36.

Wow that's really nice. I would still love to have an EVO version of one of these parked next to an E30 M3 EVO in the garage. Maybe one day. If Lotto came my way it would be DTM versions.

Can't help but why would you bother these days? Most of the time if you are going to get caught by a speed trap these days, laser will be used. So when it goes off it is already too late isn't it? The only thing to combat laser is active jammers. Which are illegal.

Jesus. My E60 does around 1100kms on the open road per tank.

You will need to ask Ollie.

He means the affordable plates you can buy through the group buy (German Plates). Oh and the Bimmersport Surrounds were a limited run I think.

I know the car yard that sold the car. They sell quite a few Euro's that look like they have been traded in. Being just down the road from JC BMW I wonder if they have some sort of agreement in place for Trades. Many NZ new BMW's go through there.

E30 front subframe are all the same. I have one you can have for $30 but would need to courier from Auckland. Prob around $20 to courier. Otherwise try J K Southern.

Where are you located? I have one you can have for $100 if you come grab it in the next few days. I have a crane to lift it. Complete short block. PM me.

Not yet it's not. Auction that ends 20th April. 2 weeks is a long time for an auction.
