just picked up a 96 328ia for my brother the other day done 157k cloth 4 door , drives ok , buy now of $2500 also a mate of mine just got a 96 nz new one with the much better ZF gearbox and taller diff ratio he likes it. maybe look at a 328i not much different in price . try get a manual or nz new or singapore import as they have the zf auto box.

picture of them on a e30???

yes have some 021433600 papakura

have one from a e36 316i 318i m43b18 m42b16 etc has the receased clutch face about 10kg can also supply matching starter motor if its needed

m50b20 and m52b20 are the same type of power etc if they are both vanos type engines??or is it a orginally a m50 no vanos car and they have fitted a vanos engine and not hooked it up etc??? still running on the old ecu or new ecu loom etc??? 94 car should be a vanos type , whats your chasis number. some pics of the engine and afm , ecu etc will help?? chasis number on the ecu ?? they do sometimes have faulty cam sensors , afm , vanos solniods etc

nice project. heard about this one when it was up for sale. sad story why it eneded up in this way. have one brand new rear quarter glass for it if needed. good luck with the project

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-...n-451387124.htm maybe this one?? guy thinks it will every model

yes i have one you can try

also these guys. http://www.jbracing.com/flywheel-bmw5.php http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-...n-450466169.htm

my mate has set of these , they would fit 16" by 8" et20 also has 3 others with neg et10 . they are basically new only done about 200km on them.

try auto clutch in morning side maybe look at replacing the dual mass flywheel too with a lighter single mass type

i have the e38 type , so has a mate of mine . you dont need hub rings with them . 16" by 8" ET23 225/50-16" tyre , just make the tyre doesn't have a big rim protector lip . plenty of clearance at the edge of the guards etc see pic below i now run 235/45-17" on 17" by 8" with et20 m5 throwing star wheels with no problems ,and the car is lower than in the pic with the 16" wheels http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/58...622058_full.jpg

mag and turbo sell them and i am sure there are plenty of other mag shops that have or get them

where abouts did they fit the cambelt??? is it a coupe or sedan??

tesa electronics or trade tech etc.

yes they will work but you will need hub rings .also look out for the e38 version of the same wheel , they are 8" wide and et23 . so just be carfull with your tyre choice (width and rim protector size) otherwise they might rub on the inside of the front struts i use a set of these with my semi slicks 225 wide on my e28 . had them before as road wheels with bridgestone grid3 tyres 225/50-16 but they rubbed a bit on the inside , so just made small dent in the strut tube for clearance.

try ross at BM workshop in east tamaki

yes large case diffs any higher than 3.91 are pretty rare. the 3.91 ratio i have came from a e32 735i , also used in e34 m5 etc teh later e34 and e32 735i 535i used medium case diffs to cut back on weight and cost etc and they where a bit of a overkill for the 211hp they had. i can get you a 3.07 if you need , thats a factory ratio for these euro spec e28 535i etc . also have 3.25 from a e23 735i etc will probably sell the 3.73 lsd in the future

its a red e28 m535i vs my silver e28 m535i with m5 engine not a e34.so same weight. yes i am looking at fitting a 3.91 diff soon , just to help it along a bit and will also help that i have 7000rpm to play with now (only had 6500rpm before) both cars run the getrag 260 gearbox. at taupo i use mostly 3rd and 4th gear , only need 2nd if someone holds me up in a corner. at hampton and puke i just get into 5th on the back straight

they weigh the same ,diffs are the same ratio , same brakes (e34 540i type), but he has sleightly better suspension setup than me with coil overs and can corner a bit faster than me with better turn in etc with adjustable camber plates etc. same sway bars , same bilstein shocks (sleightly different valving though) only difference is I just didn't bother rushing up and braking at the last minute just ease off and braked normally, so i just let him catch me on the corners the i pull away again, at one stage i just left the car in third gear the whole way around the track.

yes is working very well .nice improvement over a std e28 535i etc. heres a short video clip of mine at taupo last year before the millar maf upgrade and remap and my mates e28 m535i with schrick cam etc following me

ok thanks for your input. i am just basing my findings on what i have seen on the same dyno with different cars/engines i have had and others i know who use the same dyno. ok so when you make a 300- 350hp turbo engine what size exhaust do you use to get the gases out for top end power say if was a single pipe or twin pipe set up

dont get me wrong i am very happy with the power and torque it makes. gavin was also very pleased with the results he has got from it. said it makes more torque than his e34 m5 powered e30 race car thats currently doing very well in the bmw open class race series and he has sleightly more power than my engine makes on his dyno but he has a proper headers on it and a much larger pipes and more free flowing exhaust system (2 times 2.5" coby's and powerpro rear muffler) than in my e28 also e34 have a pretty large intake system /throttle bodies , intake valves etc. so i think with a little more tweaking with a freer flower exhaust system it should release a little more peak power etc. my mates std e34 m5 makes about 180rwkw , but the e34 m5 run larger header pipes and more of a extractor set up and the exhaust is also has a larger pipe set up etc i dont think a stock e28 m5 system would be of any use either and i am reluctant to spend 400 pounds or 700-800usd etc on some of these after market ones because they probably still go for a sleightly quieter setup to keep people happy etc.

it goes like a cut cat , pulls away easily from std e28 m5 e24 m6 and e36 m3 etc and that was before some of the engine work and the millar maf and remap etc so i dont think it has that problem. have asked gavin what other cars get on his dyno e30 325i 90-100rkw my e36 325i & 328i both at 112rwkw std e28 m535i 635csi 110-120rwkw (218hp flywheel) std e36 m3 about 160rwkw std e34 540i about 150-160rwkw etc my e34 544i 4.4L after remap 192rwkw std e34 3.6L m5 about 180rwkw (315hp at the flywheel) 3.2L M3 ABOUT 190KW+ so i think its on the right track , its just that its been held back a bit (at the top end of the revs) by a 20 year old exhaust system from a fairly std e28 528i 535i etc thanks brent

finally completed my engine rebuild and tunning etc in my E28 M535i fitted with a M88 engine thats been bored out ,stroked and hot cams ,HC pistons etc etc 3.65L . have had it all retuned on a rolling dyno etc also have fitted a 4" millar maf unit to it. manage to get about 30kw (40hp) more at the wheels than a std m5 engine puts out see build project here. http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....showtopic=31734 i am just wonder what rear mufflers are around that fit in the back of the e28 as the the turner guy (and exhaust guy) both think the current exhaust system is a bit restrictive , power comes up nice and strong to 5300rpm then pretty much holds that untill 7000rpm we think with all the mods etc it should still keep climbing upwards to say about 6500rpm etc. whats around that has a twin in twin out type that can fit into the rear of the e28. was looking at replacing the front pipe section with larger pipes 2-2.5" and 2 coby(hot dog ) type mufflers then to a new back box with larger inlets and outlets . exhaust shop guy says he can do a Y conector then go into a large single inlet and out let type 3"?? . but i am not sure about that , might make it a bit loud and not look quite right etc. the rear muffler thats in there now has twin 45-50mm inlets and outlets and about 150-160mm diameter but theres not alot more room to go in width in the back of the e28 only about 220mm etc current exhaust setup have seen mufflers like these here in NZ http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=449610295 http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=449466620 they are about 204mm wide so not alot of clearance to the sides any info or thoughts would be great thanks brent
