e30ftw

Not a motorsport, Looks rough as too and high KMs.

Pictures? What model e30 etc?

One day aye?

Woah.. My old account and my old car..... awkward.. 17x7's

Yep, PM me

Ah well, not like I've done this swap before Will fix for misinformation sake aha

Sweet sorted then, will pretty much be a bolt in swap for you then once you sort the m50 and mounts.

Only if it comes from the 318i , the m20 one will sit on the wrong angle like the g260. m40 motor sits on the same angle as the m50 (and same bellhousing between m50, m40 , m20 etc), so the getrag 240 from a m40 e30 will bolt right in place using e30 linkage, sit on the right angle so no need to modify gearbox mount.. But then you will probably get some one crying about it not being strong enough.

Getrag 220, fits with e30 g240 linkage and driveshaft. Getrag 240 from a 318i fits with 320i linkage and driveshaft. *edited in m40 gearbox will need to use 320i linkage and driveshaft

Bump for a couple changes..

Andy will want that ACS wheel, I know hes been looking for one for a while.

I have a Simota Carbon cold air intake I'm selling, Fits before the AFM though so youd still need to get a OEM boot or whatever.. Have adapter plate and a mount to fit it in.

Completely off topic, But thanks to reading this I managed to fix a little idle issue on my e30 touring, Found the TPS was full of oil and stuffed so went to pick a part and grabbed one from an e30 that was clicking and replaced / adjusted now my idle is mint. Might pay to check you can hear the TPS click when you close the throttle? I used to have a fluctuating idle that would die when cold, or drop too low and die sometimes because it had dropped to low to fast.

Looks good, I want to do the red needles but they normally light up being white - I heard using a marker pen works best.

Can only really be wheel size as the gearbox diff ratio have nothing to do with it, they all use the same speed ring in the diff with a pickup sensor. If you have over OE spec sized wheels you will throw the speedo off as the wheels have more of a rolling diameter (cover more distance per revolution) which means your covering more distance and going faster than what the speedo is calibrated for, where as having smaller ones will cover less ground per turn and thus less speed. Science.

Do it. YOLO

Why not go new while you are there? I wouldn't use a second hand pilot bearing either..

+1 for Gavin Euro Italian, have bought stuff through him for years always helpful and better prices for OEM parts.

"Seems excessive" lol some people have no idea! Nice wheels, Even the Keskin KT1 replicas cost over $1500

If you pulled that bumper off you would see the bumper mount is right on the chassis rail, so it's probably crumpled up if not just bent (Mentions chassis damage). Wouldn't really be a cheap fix IMO.

1988 was when they changed, so some are pre-FL some are facelift.

It looks like it is, Has the towbar, wheels, interior as described. Damn! I liked that car and I don't normally like pre-facelifts.

Nope, All 4 wheels via Kiwishipping sea freight.

Mine took little over a month. Depends what you buy them for to calculate taxes etc, Exchange rate has gone crap since I got mine last year.

Kiwishipping $104NZD.. + GST etc.
