ok $1200 for the bare shell fairly rust and damage free make a good donar shell if you have a rusty e30 but with good running gear will leave the carpet and wiring loom brake lines etc for more $$$ I can sell with the doors ,gaurds , boot lid lights . front panel , grilles soft top etc . oil cooler setup for m20 $150

yes can fit

just replace the viscous , easy done and they last ages.

completely different units , not compatible pic of M20 325I E30 TYPE small dowel pins , clutch disc has springs in it . larger top hat pressure plate m50 dual mass type , shallow top hat , large dowel pins , clutch disc has no springs in it also diameters vary depending on engine size etc

filled it up (man these things can drink), washed it, drove it and changed the rear tyres. now can actually accelerate it with the DSC light going nuts

not sure guess $4-5k not mint but would tidy up ok

my mate has a 540it that might be up for sale in the future , he also has other 525it in various states

t we are talking about m52 m50 into e36 compact WILL , not a sedan . ti rear driveshaft half is much shorter than a sedan or coupe. so when you intstall medium case diff , with the auto rear half and the front half of a 4cyl manual diff it will be to long. but its ok if you use a 6cyl manual front half (as the 6cyl man front half is 25mm shorter just like the linkages) does everyone agree that the 6cyl engines sit 25mm further back in the engine bay than a 4cyl??? as bmw made them like that to keep the weight split closer to 50/50 . the getrag boxes are all the same length , so see what happens for yourself when you use the 4cyl linkages. have installed more than 20 of these kits . including a few into e36 328i ,318ti 328ti etc z3 2.8L etc always the same way.

maybe they where swapped for 6cyl ones before you got them , as the 4cyl ones are different part numbers between 316i,318i 318is 318ti vs 320i 323i 325i etc. all the 6cyl engines m20 m50 m52 m54 etc sit 25mm further back in the engine bay than the 4cyl m40 , m43 ,m42 ,m44 n42 etc engines. 4cyl ones http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/25111221540/ http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/25111222203/ http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/25111221544/ 6cyl ones http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/25111221541/ http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/25111221864/ http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/25111222019/ http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/25111221547/ http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/25111222664/ http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/25111222738/

if its 4cyl gear linkages you will need to change them for 6cyl 320i 323i 325i ones or get them cut and welded 25mm shorter . use the front half of the manual driveshaft mated to the rear half of the auto , when you swap a medium case e30 diff and axles into it. you might shorten the collar in the middle of the driveshaft so it can close up in length a little. some panel beating is required with a hammer to fit the larger diff in just so the rear cover clears the floor beam.

have deleted some , but I have put my email address and phone details above

call me some time

not sure at this stage depends how many parts go with it etc what do you think its worth ?

just a update engine has been sold so I will be removing that later this week coming so if anyone wants the getrag 260 manual kit let me know also if anyone wants the body shell , minus the running gear , seats , dash etc let me know before its too late . thanks brent

bump ,

bump any takers before it gets parted out
