Sounds just a little bit awesome - love to see some pics.

Had a chance to look at your cars? Cheers, James

How much you after for the black door cards? Good condition?

He's wearing the rubber I want to dress my rims in.... 17 rims with 285 front and 315 rear tyres! Never been a fan of the kit, but it's still an E30 - so it's awesome.

I've considered the PPF (pure-pf.com) turbo manifold, but whether it will work with our steering in the way... Hopefully the downpipe only needs to be altered. There is an adaptor that runs from the stock manifold then back up to a turbo flange, but then you're dealing with a lovely cast iron manifold thats a bit restrictive for a good turbo setup.. Tubular is the way to go in terms of making power - faster spool etc...

Probably was the inspiration for the Getaway in Stockholm series..!

Technically yes, but they did clamp it to something they have no ownership of

Update on the wiring for you Will. Ok, on the pre-fl 325i loom which has been installed in the car the plug (Plug on the drivers side - below rear seat, on both the new loom and the car) has the following wires attached: (2nd colour being secondary on each wire) 1 Brown 2 BrownRed 3 BlueWhite 4 BrownGreen 5 BrownGrey 6 Green 7 Brown 8 GreenViolet On the facelift 320i Car loom: 1 Brown (Medium Gauge) 2 Brown(with Red stripes accross the wire, not as per the usual strip down the whole wire) 3 Brown (Small Gauge) 4 Black 5 BrownLarge 6 GreenViolet 7 GreenBrown 8 BrownGrey Also, out a seperate hole on the passenger side (again, under the rear seat) On the facelift 320i Car Loom 1 BrownGreen 2 BrownGreen On the pre-fl 325i Loom 1 Solid Brown 2 Green Violet Now I'm assuming that there needs to be a few wires linked across to the other side of the car as the wires over the facelift may have been routed to the other side from that 2nd hole.. if you get my drift... Any help would be much appreciated!

I'll give you a hand in putting the engine in your car

Shotgun interior trim (cards etc...) if they are black

Surely theres some magically big one out there that came factory on some large car/diesel which can be cheaply picked up for this application.

f**king hell dude! Sorry to hear - f**king morons.

The 325i (wrecked, engine source) the pump was under the car. The car that the pre-fl engine is going into is a 1990 320i (If thats any help as to where the location of the pump is, Dad's 1990 325i SE the pump is under - but don't they have one in the tank aswell?) Yeah I've put the complete prefacelift loom (early motronic, you quoted 1.0? - I've always just called it "motronic 1 & 2") into the facelift 320i shell. This is going into my freinds car, my end of the deal consist of getting me a late model facelift loom (motronic 1.3?) for a future M50 conversion - heard it's easier! Not easy so far... Sorry can't quote you on the plug colours etc yet as they are at the "workshop" (grandma's garage) on the other side of town - will get them for you tommorow.

Carl, from what the wreckers (Eurorec, and German Auto - both in CHCH) told me was that the two motronic's although similar in plugs etc... are completely not compatible. The guy at Eurorec mentioned a story of someone matching up the wires correctly but needing to replace various bits and pieces (a 635csi ignition coil! of all things) just to get it to run semi-respectably, but even then it wasn't 100% in operation, hence why I'm using every single thing which came with that engine. Carl, I'd assume if you did that (change the wiring on the ECU to the engine) wouldn't you end up with 320i engine management on a 325i? Is there a difference?

Update: The 320i with the pre-fl 325i engine has all it's wiring removed, and the 325i loom basically put in - only things that I'm stuck with is a 8 pin connector under the rear seat - the colours of the wiring between the two looms don't match at all.. I really need to find out which wire does what so I can match it up. (it's on the drivers side) And another thing, which is not essential but would be handy - has anyone wired rear window controls from a 2 door loom to a 4 door before?

Ha, Nice removal of springs against a fencepost! Ala flying wheel brace!

After the following A set of E28 535i Motor Mounts Just that for now....

Cheers

On the side of the gearbox it says "Getrag 260" or 240 The earlier 320i's I've got came with 240's... I'm interested in a 260 if you're prepared to part it seperately.

Still keen, Awaiting on them pics - guarantee fitment etc...?

Getrag 260?

How much for the complete M50?

Check your e-mail.

Ah so not the one I see cruising around Westmorland... Yeah we should - doing some mad soldering tommorow on my friends E30 (putting in a new wiring loom) Haven't even had a chance yet to get onto my own car as it's been crashed into while parked outside my house leaving a large dent that thier insurance will fork out for.. But getting there slowly. Ask Chris about my E30 collection + garage...

323i gearbox is a Getrag 260 yeah? I'd be keen if it was possible to ship. (would give you double the money for the box...)
