BM WORLD replied to vyking56's topic in General Discussion
the later ones late 99 onwards with the vanos v8's are a bit more troublesome , water cooled alternators , abs pump electrics ,spring clip hose fittings which cost a bit etc but a lot of the other bits are similer. -
hi thanks . yes have some side skirts and a motorsport rear bumper to go on whe it goes in for some paint . i do have another 5spd kit for sale as well. what would you offer for the vaders ??? also have black leather sport seats
-
if you have a vanos M50 might not be too hard , maybe able to use your loom ecu (reprogrammed etc) to suit . but if you have a non vanos might not quite a few bits . will pm you
-
vanos has a buldge in the front edge of the rocker cover . non vanos does not . i have some good vanos M50 2.5L engines ,if needed if its not i can supply with ecu etc to run it
-
is it a vanos or non vanos m50 engine ?
-
so got it back from the vinning place today , so all new plates reg and wof etc . [FBA485] so off to the paint shop soon . then in for the manual conversion . but having second thoughts or wether to do it straight away , as might have some bmw V8 manual 6speed gearboxes coming soon from germany have a couple of bmw v8's laying around here M62 4.4L non vanos and M60 4L units , would be nice to fit one of these engines into this car , or maybe the next one i do ?? e36 coupe or touring etc
-
is yours auto or manual now . what size engine 2l or 2.5l might be better just to swap std engine in , and sell it on than try and convert to something else unless you get it cheap and can do all the work yourself etc . 3.5l engines go from a $500-1500 but a manual gearbox kit will set up back a lot more than a auto to match . might bette to go to a M52 328i engine with a manual . up to you . ps. i have some std m50 2l and 2.5L vanos engines . from e36 etc . 02143600

i cant understand why would you do all this to a car . and not change that ugly steering wheel to a mtec 1 or mtec 2 style . and why do all this to a 320i Auto instead of a 325i etc. oh well i guess thats why its for sale , has done all this work and its still a slow 320i auto

all you need is a lsd diff in a mediuam case size then choose teh gears you want and get them fitted or if its already have the right ratio in a e36 med diff then just get a lsd pack fitted , a diff specialist will do this for you ,. has cost me a about $200 to get lsd pack swap over and about $300 to get gears swapped around i have have used a diff guy in manukau GT sth rd
