Cheers for that.

My '97 320i is missing the brake duct on the passenger side, noticed this when I was looking for the external temp sensor. I am wondering if this is just a bolt in part (seems to be, from looking at the other duct), and if they will be different between m-sport and non m-sport cars because the front bumpers are slightly different? Thanks Jeff

Yeah, might just stick with what i've got and buy something better in the future. Thanks for all your help guys.

It currently has a M52B20 (I believe, it already has vanos) and the 5 speed jap auto. Also would consider either a 2.5 or 2.8(if they are basically the same amount of work) Would be nice to do a manual conversion at the same time. Don't have budget at this point, would just like to know my options.

Hey guys, Currently have a '97 320i that has done just under 200,000k's and the engine is rather gutless. Was thinking about swapping in a M50/2 either the 2.5l or 2.8l and was wondering how much each of these differ by? Are they any heavier or larger than the 2.0l and will I be able to use the 320 mounts and crossmember or will I need one from whichever engine I swap in? Also are there much of an advantage in going with the M52? Does the vanos help with the low down torque or top end power or both?? Sorry about all the questions. Thanks Jeffrey

I got them today Thanks heaps.

RE: E30ONP, the colour is avusblau metallic. It was the factory colour, but might be an option from an M3 or something? I don't think it's very common. It looks really awesome when I'm washing it, could do with a good polish probably. Thanks everyone!!

They look mint, have to agree that black rims would be the shiz though! Pretty sure that I saw an article where the guy grinds away some of the sidewall and the stripe goes in after that. That was probably an aussie, may be the same??

Hey there, I am in need of a LHS tail light with the clear indicator for my 320. I'm not too keen to get some of the ugly aftermarket ones and I don't have deep enough pockets to buy them brand new! Any help with this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Sadly it's auto and it's done almost 200,000k's. That meant I could afford it though.

Hey guys, Recently got myself my first car. Its completely standard at the moment, even down to the wheels. Got a few small problems that I will try and fix myself eventually. Anyway... pics:
