Nope. You will need the sump and pickup from an e34 M50 and then it will fit onto the e30 subframe how it is. E36 is too different and rear sump vs e30 front sump.

Kind of but not really, you need a mix of parts but you can use an m20 gearbox with modified linkage and a custom mount only. To use the getrag 240 from a 318 you need a 320i driveshaft and linkage but can use the OEM gearbox mount. m20 flywheel will work with either.

That steering wheel looks like someone sewed on a Supercheap Auto steering cover over an SE wheel. Should look at M-tech2 wheels, They are nice in Alcantra (Expensive but you sound like you can afford it), Or a nice Nardi wheel..

There is such a thing, not as common but they do exist.

I really can't help myself sometimes. Lots of swearing and road blocks, but i'm neeearly there.

Still looking.. Surely someone has one. I have a blank plate to trade if wanted.

Bump

Well you clearly know what you are doing, so I will leave you to it.

Wait til it's summer and it gets warmer, Probably get worse. Radiators are real cheap for OEM replacement ones through FCPEuro. I picked up a new one with a whole lot of other stuff and it was $80 shipped.

I think you paid way to much for this IMO, Considering it's not a non Msport and automatic. You can get well optioned SA built e30's in RHD e30's with motorsport kits for half the price.

Need the oil level sensor for an e34 m50 oil pan. I can swap you a blank plate if you have one that you are using..

BMW ownership is a disease

That looks excessive to me, the bushsing has a metal sleeve which sticks out the top and seats inside a recess around the bolt, with the washer that you can see above it that is meant to be around the metal sleeve and stops the bushing sliding up and out. To me it looks as if the center metal sleeve has likely torn from the rest of the bush.

This was the one on Alpina reps? Nice car, does it need much for its compliance?

Get a Bicycle Headset wrench form a bike shop, They are cheap and perfect as they are thin. I bought one about 6 years ago and still use it to this day every time I come across fan clutch removals. I've never had an issue with using a screwdriver in the bolts.

Not someone from here, surely?

If someone was using headgasket sealer crap in the coolant before you ended up with it and the issues, it can clog up the radiator. Pays to give it a good flush, or just swap it.

Lack of attention to detail really. The "good enough" attitude that lingers across a lot of trades.

I'm not racist but.........

Wtf, Where is this?

Location? I *may* have some H&R sports available in a couple weeks.

Already have, Pulled them apart and put them together with new lips. Must have been like 1 hour per wheel, hand tightening all 34, going over with a ratchet, then again with a torque wrench. Anyways enough thread jackin'

From memory Kerry's M52tub28 was like 240rwhp with S50 ITB's, Locked VANOS and a Link ECU I believe? Do a search on this forum you might find out for sure.

Already talked to SJ, Out of price range I'll lay it out here anyway, If anyone wants them $2900 takes em - Brand new lips, tyres. Just need them gone before I split them and sell in parts (Oh how I f*cking hate undoing 34 x 4 bolts)
