Hi guys, wanting a pair of front struts & springs for an E36. Ideally they’re utterly shot, only need them to roll a stripped body onto a trailer, so makita springs are quite acceptable. Naturally the cheaper the better, and ideally as close to Pukekohe as possible Thanks all

What’s the plan with the stereo upgrades? I’ve got troubles with the C23 Oceania unit in mine, trying to decide on getting it repaired or replacing with a better unit

Have done the same on my B30 swapped E36, works nicely. Have wondered about using 328i pads on 330i rear brakes, assuming the trailing arm has been moved as well to facilitate the parking brake. Made the discovery that E36 325i rear pads will fit into 330i rear callipers (distance between guide tabs is identical), made me start to think about mixing & matching pad sizes to overcome bias. Probably a bit ghetto but something to think about

E46 330i Motorsport sedan stuff for sale. M50B30 stroker kit. B30 rotating assembly & injectors with M50B25 long block & B30 cams, trays & lifters. M50B25 injectors & fuels rail. Can also supply with a 413 DME & M50 + M54 harness. Can use the B30 intake but will require a little modification to suit the B25 head, intake free if wanted. Probably 85% complete, needs accessories & intake manifold and an overhauled Vanos unit as i burgled some bits to fix mine. Looking for $900 together. Also have an adapter plate to run the B25 throttle body on the B30 intake, will supply with TB for an extra $50. Style 68 wheels, 2 each 7.5" & 8.5", some curbing, tyres fcked from poor alignment $200 Lower control arms with bushings $120 / pr 3.34 open diff $100 Headlights & clear tail light set including clear side repeaters & indicator $200 for the lot Pre Facelift Motorsport bumpers & flat side skirts including rear PDC sensors, front comes with foglights $150 Front guards $40, passenger doors (window regs dead) $50 bonnet $40, Titansilver Metallic Happy to send through photos on request, also happy to set up trademe auctions for buyers that can't collect. Franklin area for pickup. Chur

Done & dusted - thanks y'all

Dont suppose you'd sell the rear air springs separately?

Hi guys. The hard drive on my macbook recently decided to fart and $hit itself, causing the loss of kids photos, movies etc as well as the trusty pdf copy of the Bentley E36 manual. Does anyone have a copy they could share or direct me to a known good link for one? Ta muchly

What condition are the A & C pillar covers in? All (or at least most) of the mounting tabs intact? Tired of using double sided tape on mine to pass warrants lol

Thanks Steve, will drop them a line

Looking for a latency table for OE M54B30 injectors. Have found a table but it only specifically lists half the values I need - I'm using an E36 Link plugin ecu, and it needs values for 7, 9, 11 &13v as well. Have been in touch with a few folks about this and they're all in agreement that using the mean number between two values will not be accurate enough. So has anyone else here set up a Link on a 3 litre??

Hmm, might be keen on the flywheel & clutch setup depending on how the existing one holds up...... Measured the M50 tstat at 99* & it expands to a little over 37mm - seems to me that it never blocks off the bypass port at all. Realistcally, aside from slower warmup times is this ever likely to be a problem?

Sigh, guess I'll have to get off my arse & figure this one out for myself after all. I assume the adapter plate fits between the thermostat & the M54 housing? Paper gasket fills the gap from head face to adapter plate, then the rubber gasket on the plastic housing seals between the housing & adapter plate? (bloody hell I hope that makes sense!) Will do the pot of water test with the M50 tstat on my days off, who knows, maybe it will open far enough to reach the bypass port after all. I emailed Zionsville directly and asked if they could supply me with the part number, unsurprisingly they declined but kindly offered to sell me a $130 thermostat instead. I suspect the answer to this puzzle is tantalisingly close............as it's the last issue to resolve before the project car can be driven I'm hoping this one won't take too long to figure out

Rechecked the measurements, got 43mm port depth & 37mm tstat on the M54; 33mm / 27mm for the M50. I had an early M50 Ali tstat housing milled out to allow an o-ring to seal the thermostat and leave the bottom of the flange flush with the housing surface, allowing the gasket to seal as normal. If the M50 unit will work it’ll certainly be the easiest solution!

I found the M54 tstat port to be just under 46mm depth, seemed to match up with the longer tstat spring - hence my puzzlement as to how the M50 part reaches far enough to block the bypass port. Will recheck my measurements tomorrow morning when I get home from work but I think I had them right.

Am using M50 vanos on the B30, allows the old type housing to fit. How given the B30 tstat has a 37.5mm distance from flange to bypass block plate & the M50 unit is only 25mm, does the adapter plate somehow compensate for the different blocking plate heights? Am confused as to how the M50 item would work given the B30 bypass port is recessed 10mm further into the head than the M50.

Bit of a thread dredge, but can you tell me what thermostat you used with the ZV adapter? I’m trying to achieve a similar outcome using an M50 tstat housing but haven’t yet found one suitable.

50mm in, 75mm out so not really the best option for the S50

Both sold. Thanks for all the interest

As above, shedding parts I'll probably never get around to using. Muffler is in 8/10 condition, had two small rust patches that were cut out and replaced. Sounded far nicer than the equivalent Remus system imo, well mannered burble up to 5k rpm then proper raspy at WOT. Rare as (insert cliche here), only E36 big 6 muffler I've found that isn't Remus / AC Schnitzer / Borla etc... $600 Also have an M20B25 SM flywheel and starter, again will probably never pull finger and use this. Surface could do with a skim if you were super keen but I was intending to use it as is one I degreased it. No hot spots on friction surface, I am of the understanding it has been machined to suit an M50 but thats for you to confirm. $250

Hi, bit of a long shot, but would you consider an ‘85 318i E30 manual trade + cash?

Overhauling the E34 or has it run into hard times??

Amusingly he's still lurking around here someplace - I got another torrent of what I assume were angry emails through the bimmerfest PM service . Still maintain the SC14 would be a perfectly fine unit on something less than 2400cc - as was designed by the Toyota boffins in the first place - as long as the ecu has been remapped to suit the boost. Marketing a kit to fit one to a M5xB25 / 28 / 30 is just downright crappy

No idea.

Sold!

Would you take an E34 as payment??
