yes all the bmw engines leak from there after a while , lots of mechanics and home job guys replace the sump gasket and front crank seals thinking that's where the main issue is, theres a profile gasket and o-ring that will be as hard as a nail . http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/E36-Coupe/Europe/318is-M42/R/1995/browse/engine/lubrication_system_oil_filter_2/

no same bearing and hub flange etc

there are medium case diff flanges 323i 325i 328i , and small case 318i 316i 318ti 320i 318is etc medium case type axles are larger diameter and have bigger flanges and splines etc , also factory manual medium size axles are fatter in the middle of the shafts . if you cant get the axle out of the rear arm , just change the whole arm/axle unit some times you need the correct tools , like a press or hub puller /axle pusher etc to get them to come out also heat and soaking in lube etc can help have all options in stock and can freight

also diif and axle sizes . on couple of my cars we swap medium case diff to large case and on another did a large case to medium diff swap and there was about 8-10kw at the wheels difference even with the same ratios

yes that's a m42 engine , older style cam sensor , older afm etc , idle control hose probably fallen out of the intake hose or manifold etc

they have a little vacuum pump on the engine to make vac for the brake booster , they have seals and o-rings which fail after a while , worth checking them http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/E60/Europe/550i-N62N/R-N/2006/browse/engine/vacuum_pump_with_tubes/#7545384_1 also check for oil in the lines . you can open these units up

m44 started in july 1995 m42 stopped end of 1995 beginning of 1996 have you checked all your intake hoses etc you got a pic of the engine bay ?

normally they say its just like m3 just costs less to service

so he loves his cars with the engine in the front bumper

yes I just use a spanner but just find one that fits in there , I think some are 18mm bolt head

yes have one that's a remapped one , from the days of my e34 540i with a 4.4L

yeah lots of dodgy stuff goes on it the states , no wof needed on cars etc ,

thought I better make a tribute video

dyno time soon ?? and a test drive

hope . I sell lots a HT leads , coils , o2 sensors , cats etc because the guys just read off the scanners , and always ends up being , pcv , intake hose vac leaks etc

I would be checking and replacing all the breather and vac hoses , pcv , oil drain hose from the pcv etc , all old hoses , they get cracks , go all soft etc engine will suck more air in that has not been measured by the MAF and will throw up a engine check light as running too lean. just done a few hoses at the back of my x5 for the same issue . like these http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/E53/Europe/X5_4.4i-M62/R-N/oct2001/browse/engine/crankcase_ventilation_oil_separator/ http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/E53/Europe/X5_4.4i-M62/R-N/oct2001/browse/engine/air_pump_f_vacuum_control/ http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/E53/Europe/X5_4.4i-M62/R-N/oct2001/browse/engine/vacuum_control_engine/ http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/E53/Europe/X5_4.4i-M62/R-N/oct2001/browse/engine/intake_manifold_system/

yes

yes its for sale $80

I missed your call , tried to call back a few times , no anaswer

tail lights as per pictures $90 each . haven't found the window reg yet . maybe threw it out ? have the winder handle spoiler sold ages ago

spoiler long gone , may have a door window regulator . body was stripped and sent to scrap long ago .

great project have a few parts left over from this and some new old stock etc

correct and e92 335i interesting the z4 35is is the same as the 1M engine , so basically a tune and some bigger intake pipes and intercooler and you have a PRETTY QUICK CAR
