check the tag at the rear of the diff. also need to know if its a small or mediuam case . mostly likly will be small and be a 3.64 ratio

here's a magizine article on a similer project oh and yes you are mad but i like it

no thats how we service our cars here in sth ak. tip them over to do tranny service etc

yes and i seam to remember you saying 3 series are for girls and you cant fit your BIG hands into them.. did you get your old workshop emptied out in time??

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

try warren at BM warehouse in hamilton for the new parts like M3 struts and arms etc

good buying , its a great car , was very tempted to buy this , lucking it was not closer i a might have owned it . but couldn't see it been driven around by my wife with the 3 kids in all the time . cant have 2 M-powered cars in teh family eh!!. if you need a coolant sensor , i have some . cheers brent 021433600

well said ,i have done the same always sold on the auto's got borred with them.but the 540ia is a nice cruiser with enough power to overtake when needed. i might be getting some V8 manual boxes in soon . so watch this space.

yes still have the car . bumper guy here. google map

try barry at euro marketing ltd in mangere , saw you where talking to brent

contact warren at bm warehouse 07-8466671 he can get it .

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

your diff 3.15 gears came from a e34 530i auto v8. they run a medium case with high gearing i also run a 3.15 ratio in my e36 325i coupe that i converted to manual , i might have a spare 3.15 ratio for e36 soon . also have a 3.64 e36 diff also have 3.25 and 3.46 medium case gears from e28 525i etc use a gearing calculator to work out what you want . http://www.unixnerd.demon.co.uk/revs.html you will have to put your gearbox ratios in to work out the revs etc . or select 4th gear 1:1 in the is page thats the same as 5th gear in your 328i

i have window regs for e39 if needed thanks brent 021433600
