BM WORLD

i have a artical in a bmw uk mag . they say pretty hard to get more power out of the M42 or M44 with out spending heaps of $$$$$. they reckon better to just upgrade to 6cylinder engine like 2.5 l m20 or 2.7L m20 or maybe go with M50 2.5l etc . i have a good M30 3.5L engine which will bolt to your M10 gearbox . came from a 1990 535i e34 only done 140K . will come with loom etc , has the right sump to fit to e30 etc .. http://www.e30.de/335e.htmlink

sorted , found that the M20 525i e34 flywheel i had supplied is to thick and was rubbing on the lower part of the sump bolts . lucky they had a another fly wheel from a e30 320i (looks a bit lighter though) and heaps lighter than the original M50 dual mass unit . so hopefully by tommorrow all my drivers cars are going to be manual .

just getting my e36 325CiA converted to a manual 5spd and using a M20 flywheel and clutch , all fitted in but the guys are having problems with the starter , fitted a e30 one but only turned over slowly . which one should i use , they are tiring another now from a e34 525i M20 ..

i have a good jatco box coming out of my car soon . replacing it with manual How much would you be wanting for this box and would it be all good to bolt up to the m52 1997 320i? And is it a big job? I've worked on nissans a fair bit, engine and trans wise, but never anything this new. Could I diy it without too much trouble? easy to swap . tight inside the tunnel . should be ok to go up to M52 . just need to check plug/pins etc . $500 plus fr8. 021433600

i have a good jatco box comming out of my car soon . replacing it with a manual

the gearbox will fit . you will need M20 starter to match that m20 flywheel . drive shaft no use from e28 , you can get e28 front section welded up to e34 auto one . cost about $400 or so balanced etc . gear shifter mech is to short . is it the ali sort . (hard to cut and weld ) you could buy new one from bmw . i actually have a complete kit for sale from a 525i e34 m20 .that will bolt up no probs . maybe i can trade some of the e28 bits . call ah 021433600 or 2997389 cheers brent . just converted a 1990 535i to manual in dec.

m10 is different , yes m30 box will bolt up to M10 engine , also M3 e30 engine . butr different to all M20 , m40 etc . i sold a conversion kit from a 95 318ti e36 , that went into a e36 320iA 4 door , they had no problems . just used the front half from the ti driveshaft fitted to the rear half of the 320i one . maybe the m50 and M42 have about the same angle on them . in the e36 car . i myself have fitted older 260 box from M30 528i 84 which has older metal shifter mech into my grey e34 535i that i sold , just cut and welded in some extra meatal to lengthen the shifter parts . and had driveshaft modified . used e34 shaft and had new pipe and e28 end weled to the front section .

i agree .v8's are nice but a V12 is just awsome . had a 750iL for a little while , what an engine . love to put one in a e34 , 550i just talk to the guys that build V12's in the lambourgini factory , they will tell you what the best engine is ...

i have some , call 021433600 or 2997389 in papakura . cheers brent
