yes main problem with the 34 is the weight . std specs e28 m535i 157bhp per tonne.. e34 535i 138bhp per tonne.. maybe mines around 150bhp per tonne e36 325i 140bhp per tonne.. (my one has been chipped and more open exhaust ) maybe upto 147bhp per tonne e28 M5 204bhp per tonne.. cant wait to do the m5 conversion in to the e28....

ok, sounds okish .do you want to swap for any parts i might have.

hi , andrew i can get you box from wrecker friend .also you could use box from m50 320i 325i etc , i think they are stronger . even a box from older e30 will bolt up . m40 or m20

might be interested , i dont want to low , have std m-tec ( i think ) in my e36 325icoupe now .lower than std 325i sedan already.whats your best price

gavin is going overseas to buy some big computer unit that can read and then you can remap most chips . he said would be harder ( and take longer) for older ecu's like mine , but easier for newer ones . call hi-velocity , glenfeild

yes i think the e36 coupe will give the e34 a good run for the money , untill it comes to a hill . had a bit of a drag race with my freinds e28 M535i up to 160km/h about the same then the e28 just pulled away . e36 only just lighter than e28 by about 40kg . yes i agree , but the 325ci m50 has all its torque up at about 4500rpm , 250Nm . has 10.5:1 cr. where as you can see this engine develops max torque from about 2500rpm at 320Nm . my e36 has been chipped also . yes i know the m50 with twincam 4valve per pot is good . i also have a M88 3.5L engine to go into my e28 M535i . that engine has 210Kw 290Hp and about 340Nm ,60Kw per litre but its like the M50 its torque curve is higher up the rev range . the std M30 engine has more torque right through till about 4500rpm then the M-power engine rockets up heaps all the way to about 6500rpm . i think with a few mods like losing one of the 3 mufflers etc will help .

this engine is about the same as an e28 535i engine except for the hartge head and ecu thats tunned a little different .std e28 535i has 10:1 compression ratio . 218hp / 160kw 310Nm . e34 has less cr ,hp and torque. so i am reasonably happy with results , more than e28 and alot more the std e34 . , torque is up by 10-15Nm and power up by about 8hp . but i know there is more to get from it with little bit more tunning etc . i could swap cam for a shrick etc and maybe swap afm for map system . but the engine fells a lot more alive than other 535i's i have driven . so what changes have gone on in your m20 engine ???

i have 4.43 and 3.64 small case diff's

have you thought about running a link computer Brent... yes maybe , have looked at the mapecu system , maybe will take it back to gavin when he has the computer gear to be able to reprogramme the factory chip to suit the engine ... I expected a bit more power from that motor...... remeber it still has std e28 type camshaft , no hartge extractors ,and a ecu thats not quite tunned for this engine as it is . still have std exhaust sytem and air filter etc . Sounds like a lot of work for 130Kw What are you going to do next? Where did you get it dynoed and how much did that set you back? ......... yea seams that way , was hopping for a bit more , but remeber the std e34 535is was only doing 112kw.... maybe reprogramme ecu a bit , swap air flap meter for the map sensor type , maybe exhaust etc . but remeber this car will mainly get used by my wife with the 3 kids for the school runs and shopping etc . i still have the M5 engine to be fitted to the e28 M535i , that should do a few more numbers on the dyno ....... and its heaps lighter .... cost $90 for the dyno testing , done by gavin bellars at Hi-velocity in glenfield..

did a dyno run on my 1990 535i , that i have recently fitted a semi rebuilt hartge engine in . i built this engine up with a hartge tunned head ( bigger valves and porting) head is dated back to 1984 came from a 87/88 635i from japan . i used block from a approx 89 535i or 735i , fitted 10:1 cr pistons from e23 86 735i , had new riings and bearings fitted , valave grind , both head head and block where skimmed .new chains and sprockets etc .std e28 cam fitted it along with a 5 speed manual box into this 90 535ia 3.45 diff. was a bit disapointed with the proformance when i got it all going , found a bit more power after changing fuel filter and also swapping ecu from a motronic 1.3(original one in car) for a modified 1.1 from a 87 735 e32, seamed a little better , still enquiring with enginer and parts people why is seams ro be down on power , decided to reset tappets a little loser after doing compression test and only coming up to 150psi ( should be 180+) .also rechecking cam timming noticed it looked at by one tooth , reset to true . and all seams to be good now . havn't done another compression test , but should be alot better now . dyno results show 4 different ecu's we tried , first run was the lowest with the modified unit from a e32 735i about 126kw at the wheels , then nest run with the original ecu that came with hartge engine came up to 132.9kw then 2 more goes with std 1.3 motronic ecu and 1.1 motronic ecu both better than the 735i one but not as high as the orginal one . a friend of mine had his 86 M535i 5psd 3.07diff ,there on friday came up as 123kw (shrick cam and e34 head ) and another guy there witha 90 535is had 112kw (map sensor afm fited). gavin who owns the place use to have a alpina B10 e34 that did 141kw , and also ahas a e30 335ia with fully worked engine with auto and 4.11 diff doing 158kw . he said we could tune the ecu a little more to get the power to carry on andn maybe even up a little . still have std exhaust and intake system , first pic is a few of the runs with different ecu's second pic is the power and the torque third pic is the fuel and power curves 132.9kw equals about 181hp at the wheels , add about 25% for flywheel rating 226hp . std e34 is 211hp 305Nm std e28 is 218hp 310Nm . mine was about 325Nm pretty flat full hartge spec engine about 240Hp and alpina about 250hp ....

yes still have them , just look like new ones .except little plastic outside locatting titty is broken ( no real problem)021433600 ,

my offer still stands .021433600 cheers

i have a 5spd manual conversion kit for sale . $900 , then you would have no more probs with the autos' . also have auto's from 520i and 535i etc cheers brent 021433600

i have a conversion kit $2k , bank on a days labour to swap over .

i will have some nice bbs croos spoke type 16" by 8" for sale , or if the 17" by 8.5" ac replicas dont fit they will be for sale. 021433600

dont bother , they sell all the time on trade me for about 1500- 2000 going etc . even the m50 ones sometimes sell for 2k . if you want parts then get it cheap . yes it will be m20 2.5l good upgrade for your 320i but might as well pick up a wrecked car with good engine , plenty on TM for sale . if you do get it for engine i would be interested in the body shell etc

yes i have soem door cards from 4 door and have a windscreen .if you want parts call ah on 021433600 or 09-2997389

yea take them to court , i see plenty of e30 etc with real small damage wrighten off at the auctions . people just except what they say . i just fixeded up a e36 front end worse than that . cost $1000 all up incl painting , i did a little work myself , and mostly used parts . i think max $2k with a rip off panel beater . just keep hounding the other driver till he sorts it out

i have some call ah 021433600 in papakura

check out the trade link . TRADE ME LISTING THE BIG BLOCK!!!! contact me if you are interested in it 021433600

i have one from 318ti 3.64 ratio , you will need to swap gears into your case , or swap rear cover etc . ti has same ass end as e30 . 021433600ah

i have a 3.64 that came from a 318ti ,manual . you would need to swap back cover over , or swap gears over . ti uses e30 type rear end . 021433600 . $250

e36 coupe

i have a near complete e36 shell , call me to view 021433600 cheers brent

i have one that will be pulling from my car to replace with manual box . 021433600 , goes well
