yes you have to be carfull as a lot of the info out there relates to us spec engines etc . there e28 535i only got 186hp due to been only 8:1cr. marty's engine is a good one , i heard it run , from a tidy nz new car with low owners etc was only removed to make way for his big arse turbo engine .

no quite true use a e28 535i or later 1983 onwards e23 735i or e24 635csi engine . these engines are basically the same as the e34 ,e32 engines except for the lower power due to lower compression pistons etc. (there are other differences in the head like valve size and ports etc ) i think when you talk about the cooling you are refereing to the very ealry 3.5l which has a different bore to stroke ratio and a different head casting which sometimes has problems with over heating etc . commonally called a m90 engine built from about 1978 to 1982 used in early e12 ,e24 and e23 models if you fit a e34 or e32 engine it will be down on power and torque , fuel ecnomy etc so just get the correct engine like the on marty mentioned above he has one from 86 535i i would only use a e34 or e32 engine if a e28 etc if i couldn't find the correct type and desperate to get it going or you could go for a early block m90 type block fit the later crank to it custom pistons and bore it out and make a 3.65L engine with 11.:1cr if you want a bit more power etc see pic for some details

e28 engine has more power and torque than the e34 type and will bolt in easier with the mounting holes and manifolds etc

have e46 330i M54b30 that has possible head gasget failure between no.2 & 3 cyl $1500 have a e36 M3 s50b30 , zf 5spd . perfect cond $6-7k have m52b28 pistons and rods .$200 matching cyl head $500 have a mate with a M50b25 non vanos engine running fine $800ono 0321433600 thanks brent

ah yes those V8's and V12's burn well . seen plenty of burnt ones at the damaged auctions over the years yes double check the the fuel lines where they go into the engine .

is anyone after a converison kit for there e36 , just got one in , still in the car for testing . will suit most e36 models. $1200 thanks brent 021433600 details here http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-353272486.htm also many other parts from this e36 318is coupe , m42 engine , panels , bumpers , lights etc etc

what do you guys think of these seats??

yes . my mate has a 525i touring with a m30 3.5L in it with 5spd manual. dove grey leather , can come with 16" or 17" alloys and maybe some other goodies depending on the price etc calipso red he will be selling in next month or 2 etc

the later m20 engines use a smaller starter like form a face lift 320i 325i or 34 520i 525i m20 type

you might want to mention if it comes with loom , ecu , afm kit etc

come on guys this is a great car , first person to test drive view etc will buy . auction finishes 8th feb 8:45pm http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-350793322.htm

sounds good .if you need any bits to help you make it work , just sing out

nice. I like how is the clearance between the sump and subframe etc?? what ecu etc are you going to run with? my suggestion is use a e34 /e32 M60B** engine loom etc and use the bosch ecu thats used in the early e34 530i 540i e32 730i 740i etc then you dont have to worry about ews etc also the bosch ecu's are easier to remap etc

4" with strange 2 point mounts . there are also 6.5" factory speaker units like these that came with the premium audio package and most nz new cars . i have some of the 6 " types for sale if needed factory/nokia and sony type or pick some of those 6"by 9" adaptors like these. thats what i use and almost as much bass as a subwoofer

i think i can get another one . that was just an old picture of the car that the wheels came off
