e30ftw

Yup that's exactly what I ended up doing. Was following some UK forum write ups and some on here too, which had a custom e36/e30 hybrid. You do kinda notice the steering wheel gets a bit more rattle but nothing major.

Work in CBD, Live in Brooklyn. Didn't notice anything other than a typical rainy day.

I bet that's how they looked when ya bought an E30 from factory. Dat fresh leather.

They are $150US on the website and also has swapped options. http://www.red46.net/store/p6/Sump_Armor_-_BMW_E30.html I'm sure if you bought multiple ones shipping wouldn't go up too much either from buying a single one, just depends on weight.

Oh really, weird haven't heard of that before. Where do the pistons sit at TDC compared to the top deck, wouldn't longer rods push them too high over? I've found a set now too, rods crank and pistons.

Bit of a dent in that left sill, otherwise nice shape. Not many worthwhile parts though

Is that required for M62 swaps, or is that purely for a better drive line angle sitting engine lower?

This car was a thrashed piece of sh*t when it was owned down in Wellington. He's obviously swapped out all the cosmetic stuff like ripped seats etc. Wouldn't touch any of his cars though after seeing some of his other buy and sells. Buy cheap, swap all the cosmetically obvious then resell at a higher price. (Edit- That's not to say it may have had a complete go over and is now a well built car, just my opinion)

Pretty sure if you used the cams and trays from the M50 NV head, and the front timing cover plate from the NV head once you have removed the VANOS unit, it would be the exact same.

Can you crank motor over using a 24mm socket on the front crank bolt?

Wow that underside shot. So shiney..

One of Andy's mates, It's a 318is. Albeit a bit rough.

^ I used to buy that stuff, 1 drop was enough to spice a meal very hot, 2 drops and your f*cked.

This would be good for weaves. Bloody hate cleaning weaves in all the small gaps.

Also selling a Z3. Pretty damn tidy I must say. However the M/// badge addition............ http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-880851653.htm

What are we meant to be looking at?

Yeah just N/A. Rather stick to the Alloy M52 block instead of changing a whole heap including ECU to move to an M54.

Yeah I checked with Ray, He never got back to me. Will check again. Did you build them into an m52 or m50? I'm thinking M52 for the Alloy block + I can use my S52 cams.

SE Goodness <3

Have heard that 325i has been thrashed. Also SE are much better optioned than most regular e30s, the ones that get the most are typically untouched and in original condition.
