Supercharged m52 setup Complete setup as follows Getrag 220 good condition no crunches, comes with a bmspeedshop shifter setup Clutch max stage 2 chromoly flywheel and clutch M52b25 with sc14 supercharger setup installed Speeduino based ecu Have no idea on power, have not had it on a dyno. Currently running 4.5 psi, have another pulley today go with it which bumps it up to about 7.5psi boost Radiator hoses (radiator not included) $3000

Engine mounts ✅ Front part of the exhausts ✅ Gearbox Mount ✅ looking like it’s meant to be in there done ✅ Trying to get this thing in and running in a month, whilst we await having a turbo capable engine built, we have decided to slap her in NA for the time being!

Progress! engine mounts being made today!

Either that, or it’s had chassis numbers changed....... which is also possible Bmw vin decoder doesn’t generally lie about the colour

Been offered up at 24k still too high given it was originally topaz blue, came in as a damaged import...... and has since been de registered aswell

No sloppy mechanics here!

Nothing tooooo much to report yet. waiting on some gearboxes to arrive from Aussie. And also waiting on some turbos to arrive. have pulled the engine down ready to be rebuilt aswell! bit had some shiny bits arrive for it yesterday ??‍♂️ not sure if it’s going to be e36 or e46 based yet, we have both sitting here. Might just be a matter of how we feel on the day of making engine mounts will be a street legal track weapon, aiming for a solid 600whp

Un-wrapped some goodies for it ?

no Jon, it's just again that you expect differently from others than you do of yourself i feel. and your "Ok boomer" attitude clearly shows this. Jon, maybe it's time you stepped aside for awhile if you are a little confused to give you time to gather your thoughts? as a community are we not allowed to call those that are "superior" out for acting in ways that they ? or is this turning into a dictatorship? Again, like multiple people have highlighted. This forum needs new leadership, and some new moderators.

and because you are a admin, you are allowed to make suggestive comments like this? come on jon. whatever happened to repping thew behavior you want to see and all that jazz as a moderator?

isn't it just unfortunate that it has taken "sh*t to hit the fan" for things to start (hopefully) rolling again? i am pretty sure that some of the stuff that's been happening was never intended in the intent of bimmersport and maybe people need to loosen up a bit and try and find the good ole days? Has anyone heard from Ollie recently? multiple emails and calls still lead to no avail on contacting him

believe it or not, some of the yards we deal with have had issues getting cars. Those shipments that were en route from japan have all been delayed and/or canceled! a couple of the yards are screaming for cars as they are nearly sold dry currently. you can say this is about "stock control" as above, but when the main source of stuck gets cut off from the rest of the world uhhh yeah, things begin to slow down! hence the reason why i'm not totally convinced that all these rental cars are going to have a "massive effect" on the prices, but will certainly influence it to some degree. Another thing to be thinking about, is those car yards that are importing from japan are generally importing cars that are in a different market to those that the rental companies have. in search of a better term, but those cars that are being imported from japan are *generally speaking* more of a "not your standard toyota yaris" kind of car As for the Mannheim auction, it was a dealers only auction and a fair amount of them actually sold! People still need cars, yet dealers are having trouble sourcing cars so they will buy whatever they can at the moment. there are so many different variable that different car yards are going to be dealing with, but generally speaking it sounds like there has been pretty slim pickings on what they've been able to get their hands on for a few months now

A vast majority of rental cars are on lease contracts. mitsubishi have taken back well over 2000 cars back from rental companies breaking leases, and I believe Toyota are doing the same. there are multiple rental companies who are selling bulk lots off through auctions. There was like 300 ex rentals up for auction in manheim last week. so, In short..... yes the car market is going to be flooded very shortly. I don’t think they will be “dirt cheap” but they are definitely going to be cheaper than the majority of the same cars on the current market we deal with several car yards down here in chch and they have all said they are expecting huge numbers of cars coming up forsale in the next months. And some have even been approached by Toyota and Mitsubishi to buy ex lease cars

its a rolling 12 months. can't buy/sell more than 6 in any 12 month period

They don’t come up overly often. depending on condition and what they come with, usually 8-10k

Looking at putting it onto a m52?

the biggest issue i see is no-one wants to take responsibility for anything. Multiple times i have spoken to different admins about things and its all "speak to this person", or "speak to that person". No-one really seems to know whats going on or who is really running things and you end up in a loop getting nowhere. Biggest and best thing that could happen to this forum is having an ***active*** owner involved, someone who is going to stand-up and take responsibility.Not knocking the admins for what they do but i think things would be alot better if there was some more direction and more information/help available when requested

The funny thing here Dave....... it’s not the first time something like this has happened. I believe a similar thing happened to another extremely valuable member of the forum several years back. maybe there needs to be a changing of the guard?

not going to split sorry

bump $900

Give you $18000 tonight to save you the issue? will also save you the drama of installing those electric windows ???

what steering linkage are you using?
