Temp sensor runs it's own wire to the C101 (Fuse box plug), doesn't join to the M52 engine loom. It just needs to go into the pin it needs to on the body side to make its way to the instrument cluster. The one you are holding in the last pic goes from Alternator to Starter motor. There will be another large red cable that goes from the battery to the Starter. The power cable from the fuse box goes to the Battery.

Good price IMO, Looks like a very tidy e30. Those seats look amazing. Facelift M325i's have always been going over 10k - 15k for the last couple years, not exactly rare but they don't come up very often.

Probably been through a chop shop. All the obvious parts swapped, repainted from the original then plate and tagged. Would be interesting to see if you can find the original VIN and if it comes back as stolen.

I agree. You are defeating the purpose of posting it into a forum thread.

E46 m3 external FPR? The 3bar FPR fits it from an M54. Mines exactly like that for the S54. *edit - missed the adjustable part

I've had a chat to manawatu mufflers, they can make me one for a good price and seem to know what they are doing so probably going to go that route. I need something high flowing but quiet, big ask when it's 3"

Yeah so I've found the 535d Remus is 3", but it's overall muffler is smaller and probably won't flow well enough (535d 200kw). I really got no room to change anything but the rear muffler.. I might just have to live with it an get a Vibrant or Magnaflow instead. Wanted something more quiet and raspy though.

Yeah Woolf was the first I tried, they got rid of theirs earlier in the year. And yeah, they sound awesome. I'm hoping it will also quieten mine down because it's ridiculously loud at the moment and quite droney. Might try that parts catalog idea, didn't think of that.

No rush, I've been looking for months. Just keen to get some ideas and see what other options there are before I give up on having a remus, or look at remaking the rear into a dual... Which I want to avoid.

Hey so struggling to find good information hoping someones had the experience or knows on here if anyone's got a later model and played around with their exhaust. Basically what I am trying to find is were there any other BMW's that have a 3" exhaust, reason is I am trying to find a Remus muffler (I love their sound) that will fit my E30. Catch obviously being I've committed 3" already but don't like my current muffler, so have been on the hunt for a replacement. The one I knew of, e60 545i/550i that Josh used on his S50 E30 has been discontinued, have tried looking around locally and U.S if anyone still had stock but no luck. My only other lead is on a e60 535d, but I can't find a definitive answer! If anyone has a 535d and could measure it that would be fab. Or any other models that would be great.

Might join in, price is a bit up there but could be fun.

Nice, I have the same one. They are good quality for the price.

Gripforce.com is good, they have a mix of kits / flywheels.

I wouldn't go too light, 6.5kg is fine for a flywheel and plenty light compared to the stock dual mass. Any lighter and your idle suffers and you also get alot more chatter and gearbox noise, maybe not so much with a ZF box but my Getrag box is really loud with a 6.3kg flywheel. I put in a mix of thicker oil and it quietened it but it's still pretty loud and can get annoying.

I used the Ados spray stuff to try stick my headliner back up and it eventually just comes off again. Although it's likely that it wasn't working well because it was me doing it while in the car, spraying the back board / fabric then sticking it up. Wasn't cleaning the surface or anything. It would stick up and look sweet for a couple months then eventually drop again. Especially with the windows down

Yours looks like it has 6cyl Super lows, the fronts way high for superlows. The spring pads are barely a few mm, even the E90 drop hats supposed 10-15mm difference in hat height still barely make a noticable drop (more than the rubbers would). I had them in a coupe years ago, very very soft compared to most springs.

220 and 240 both work

Mounts look fine to me and in the right position, it's definitely that gearbox flange. If you had a m40 g240 then it would most likely fit.

Oh yeah, I'm going to go with that rear flange sticking out being the issue. Never seen one stick out so far before, mine was the same as the m20 box.

What engine mounts did you use? e28 535 / m5? Offset holes are offset outwards each side?

Take it back and buy one from Pelican Parts or FCP Euro. OEM ones come with a new rod. Repco ones are sh*t.

Almost definitely an air leak. Take it back to your mechanic if he was the one who did the full job. Shouldn't be your issue.

M52 manifolds, front section cut the lower flange and extend it back further to clear the steering rack. The rear section you just need to cut a V on the under section behing the flanges and then bend the headers in closer to the block then weld them up, you can mig them. Heres a pic, i think the lower flange was cut and rotated to , since it sits closer to the gearbox needs to fit around. It's very easy to make them fit though.

You do get a slightly harder pedal feel with the smaller boosters. Pretty sure E32 dual booster fits with the right rear plate and you wouldn't lose as much brake assist.

How hard was it to get the headliner out? Didn't realize the whole card comes out. Are you going to retrim it and reinstall? Curious because mines sagging no matter how many times I glue it back up.
