E36 wide body kit arrived today. after 4 months of waiting I saved about 76kgs over standard bare body parts.( No glass , door latches, locks ) . Biggest problem was getting it over the customs line and the TAX that DHL charge.

why would you risk paint flakes getting in your oil

Nice project by the way

Boy?!! that looks tight to get the nuts on the bolts when installing those. would you pre fit before installing the engine or after.

Nothing to special just some box steel with holes drilled and taped every 25 mm x 5 and held down with some bolts. you can kind of see it in this pic

Update. Been a bit slow over the last couple of weeks. Fitting off the brakes from peddle box to the front brake lines and where it meets the rear lines. Running the lines through the bulkhead and tiding it up. I've used lots of braided lines as the peddle box is adjustable not the drivers seat. Fitted a pressure switch for brake lights. Expansion tank install in the water system, I plumbed this into what was the heater inlet and return. Oil cooler. Radiator' power steering pump and lines. Ready for liquid's , If all goes well I may even have it running over the weekend. Pics

I throw this question out there because I'm thinking of buying a 1 piece driveshaft in chromoly , I did look at carbon fibre but cant justify the price for only 1.5 kgs savings over chromoly, nearly 2x the price. They have a claim on their web site about the power gains. I'll price up one in NZ before I order. thanks for your input guys.

It is said that for every pound of driveshaft rotational weight you reduce, you gain an effective 10hp at the rear wheels!* Is there any truth to this.

slept on it and had another go tonight. took it apart and wound down the bolt with a socket a couple time then put back together and finger tighten it, brought a flat ring spanner, this then fitted in the gap and nipped it up.

Riddle me this' I have a 2 piece drive shaft that has a bolt in the centre how do I do it up tight. I brought it in 2 parts so didn't see how it was removed. I think its 17mm. I cant get a ring or a open spanner on it What am I missing here please.

Yea, Red sure shows more than Green. Red and something ....Black is my pick at the moment or maybe dark gun metalgrey on all the other panels

Today after work I decided to check the water hoses on the engine and look for way to hook up the expansion tank. The hose from the back of the head was the first to come off and to my surprise found this inside, have no idea how it got there. Then gave the rest the squeeze test had a fail so have decided to replace the lot.

Speaking of wanting to buy classic, I once saw a Dino Ferrari outside Ollies in Royal oak. Had a for sale sign on it for $22500 I so wanted it. I was 15. Now you need 3/4 of a million. If only I knew then what I know now.

N54B30 (225 kW version)[edit] For the E90/E91/E92/E93 3-Series, the N54 engine was used in the 335i model from 2007 onwards. In the 3-series, it therefore replaced the 330i (which used the naturally aspirated N52B30 as the performance model below the M3). This version is rated at 225 kW (302 hp) and 400 N·m.[4] However, independent testing has resulted in estimates of 332 hp (248 kW) and 311 lb·ft/422 N·m.[5]
