mate you are ruining your car . they are wires for the rear demister , taillights ,brake lights , reverse lights , air bag stuff , fuel pump , radio aerial bott lock stuff , rear wiper stuff

old topgear test CLK GTR in the snow

are you sure you want that3L v8 160kw 310Nm of torque . 4L v8 210kw 410Nm 3.5L m30 e28,e24 , e23 type 160kw 310Nm and tunable to about 170-180kw . 3.5l m30 e34 ,e32 type 155kw 305kw and tunable 160kw

a picture of what i had done in the rear of my e28

yes thats right , just spin teh wheel . maybe take them apart , clean and lube etc , or get them overhauled ,new seals etc ,reco'd etc . or just try some second hand ones .

e23's are well known for having sticky brake calipers . check all of them

the rad tanks always fail , spilt etc . also replace any brown looking coolant plastic pipes etc . raditor reserve bottle split .

use the later model loom and sensors front hub . you will need a 2.5L afm i think the old one will do . a 2.5L afm . the old 2.5 inlet manifold is ok . and you will need a face lift 2.5L ecu . can also get one from a e34 525i m20 .

best thing i did to my e28 was stiffen up the bilstein shocks and fit bigger antiroll bars .

pfl e30 and e28 have the same fog lights also same as the e24 and e23 from 83 to 87 etc

also double check how good the fan viscous clutch is working , if it spins realy freely then its stuffed also will be realy oily in the front of the fan clutch if its lost all its fluid from teh clutch unit .

check the fuel pump . check you have fuel pressure at the engine . double check you have spark.

try marty (bm weapon)021438735 he has one in a e32 730i

your ecu will need a remap to get that right . or try a ecu from a e34 530i or e32 730i m30 engine same pin set up but tunned for a 3L engine of similer power. read this

if it is a 325i m20 engine the gearbox you asked about is as rare as rocking horse s*&t.but the ones i mentioned will bolt up to a m20 . has a std gearbox layout but has the closer ratio's

what engine type is it to used for. if its a m20 m40 m50 type you can use a box from a e36 318i 320i 325i 328i etc they have a 1:1 top gear . i have some

my thoughts too . if it was black i would be tempted the odd 1998 1999 models with 100+ ks sell for around $45-55k so $65k for a 2003 is pretty good

nice colour . but wrong colour , if it was black it would have sold long ago. good luck i like the 19k in barter card offer

i have a spare gasket . not used in a project .

my son is gonna ride choppers when he is older

thats normal ,. just hold it in place when tightning the head bolt up . it will stay there when its tight

doesn't matter that you have the auto one . it has 2 functions one function is to tell the ecu if you are full thottle or idle (both manual and auto switches have that part) the other part is a varriable resistor to tell the auto ecu box where your foot is on the gas pedal so it can work out when to change gear etc . so that part will just go no where important when you convert it to a manual.
