yes it is

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.as...708&ed=true very nice 021433600

i dont think so . he has 3 or more people looking at it at the moment for $$$$ thanks anyway

yes your gear knob is stuffed , that part may have been glued on .

no . 525e and 520i use m20 engine , m50 type engines are the same length525i 528i 535i use m30 engine which are longer. anyway its been done before , just have to muck around with mounts and gearbox choices etc and sump the sump and oil pump for a e34 525i m50 type just the same as if you where tro fit it into a e30 etc

pic of the roof linning for e30 andy

probably the cheapest and simplist way is to put a complete 2l head and intake manifold on from a e30 320i or e28 or e34 520i and then use a e30 325i ecu and afm from a prefacelift 325i.

sounds like maybe the inside part of your gear knob has been left behind on the gear lever. should look like this when off

auction for the M3 engine finsihes tonight. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=363600374

are you sure its not just worn camshaft lob on number 1 cylinder etc ?? worth checking just pull the rocker cover off

i have a nice light weight 3L crank, rods and pistons that would liven up that car , and a head to match , will cost a bit more than a few beers though

looks like i have a simlier leak on my 328i i have orded a new gasget that goes between the oil filter housing and the engine block also got a new rocker cover gasget .

used to sell heaps of , ign modules , dizzy's , ign switches , ecu's afm and crank and cam sensors for these models.

sell it and buy a 325i 328i etc, will be cheaper to do in the end and worth more than a converted car,

talk to marty(back yard bandit) if you want to do a turbo set up , he has done a few and may have some parts /options for you .

the exta "e" was for extras , like electric windows , ac , premium audio setup , electric sunroof etc etc i used to have one many years back that i sold to a mate who still has it .

i have but was not planning on selling them , do you want me to take a photo some of the pages for you ????

535i engine will be an easy swap , maybe add turbo for extra go. m60 v8 will require a bit more work. ,possible remote brake booster set up (maybe e34 v8 set up with some mods might be ok) matching V8 manual box will be better than trying to get a auto to work etc. modified headers and engine mounts etc . other than that they fit in ok. if possible go afor a later non vanos 4.4l from 96/97 540i 740i etc and run it on a m60 4L v8 ecu , loom etc have an actical in a mag with e39 m5 v8 in a m635csi http://www.bremgo-shop.de/_py-E24-M635i-40...3b2829c60df634c

it is K-jetronic , also used in very early e28 518i and 520i etc. pretty yukky system , no many people know what to do with them when they fault etc.

check the brake lights work , bulb or faulty brake switch are comon . also check the pads and disc thickness , also the brake pad wear sensor fitted to the front left and right rear brake pads , they wear out and then trigger the light . some people replace the brake pads but dont replce the worn out brake pad wear sensor(s)

i think he might consider a part swap , maybe your 318i and $2500cash he might consider a e30 convertable , call him

be quick guys before it goes to trade me

switches often fail (worn contacts inside) try using the door window switch . swap left switch for right side switch etc

you dont need to drain , just lift the unit out of the way a little solder the wire with an electric soldering iron and you are done

give me a call if you would like to discuss options 021433600
