After one of these with Winter, Sport and E modes. Has to work. If no one here has one ill ask Brent or Euro Italian.

Hi, My e36 has one of those switches that will go into sport, winter but not go back into E modem when pressing down. Suggest a new switch? (not mine in picture but reference, (Doesnt have M but a Winter icon) Also how to pull it out. Is it just brute force upwards or a secret screw or something? Secondly the cluster in the car on the l p/100km is peeling and stopping the needle from moving. Is this a new cluster job? Cheers Edit: Does my car give the cluster how many Km's its done or is it built into the cluster? If built into it can it be changed to be accurate?

Nice 335 but by the time you modded all of that it might as well have cost you a M3 anyway?

Swaps for subiz No time wasterz plenty of ruba on magz

sh*t happens

Hmm, Took it for a thrash and didnt reproduce it after it cooled down. No idea. Maybe diff being stupid?

So just shake it about and see if it has any play? Take wheel off?

Hi, I am getting a clicking noise each rotation out of my left rear wheel. There is no rubbing or tires or uneven brake wear. Cant seem to locate it. Maybe a universal join is buggered? Whats the best way to tell? (It seems to be like this after driving it really hard and laying some rubber) Cheers

Turbo in time Then be a rocket.

Planned to finish like this: I wonder with a M52 if it will be a fukn rocket?

Doesnt sound too hard. Ill get my orders in to Brent at BMWorld when i got cash and a touring.

Could you elaborate on the benefits of a M52? I really dont want to f*ck around with electrical problems :/ Cheers

here is a real car you failed troll.

>.<

Nice work! I will have to hit you up when i do my E30 Touring with a M50, M52. Keep at it!

Hmm, Ill let you know but im planning to start with in about 3 months. Easier to hit up Brent at BMWorld for the parts. I dont have space to deal with 3 cars and parting them out. Would be good if i do. Cheers

Yeah its a tank. Needs $500 spent on control arms and bushings + tires then it will be warrantable again. The $7000 includes the car itself so you think i could get away with it? Cheers Edit: Do i want VANOS or Non VANOS? I dont plan on a Turbo. Around $1200-$1400 for a long block. Pumps etc all separate.

Thanks guys, Wiring sounds like the least of my worries now. Thinking more about my rough plan i wouldn't mind a M5 engine. Getting one with ECU and gearbox wouldn't be hard. I cant afford to fully rebuild it so it maybe a bit hard on that one. 5 stud conversion can wait till later but will be on the to do list. What you think? Should i keep the 36 as a daily driver and just buy all my parts for the Touring? I would like to stay under $7000+Paint on the whole project. Cheers

OK, Cool. Unsprung should be rather easy, Would like to use as much of this e36 as possible or is it more worth it to keep this car as a daily and get parts? Still a bit lost on the electrics. Found a few online guides and was also wondering about input here. Cheers

Anything further? Im looking to do something similar with an E30 touring and M50B25

Hi, I am planning a project for an E30 Touring running a M50B25 and 5 stud conversion. I want to keep the car in the most stock form as possible without hacking apart electrics etc. Car: E30 touring alpine white. (Yet to purchase) (I think i got a candidate: http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-742108332.htm Need some moneys ) E36 donor car: 325I, Auto, 127,xxx kms, Runs very nicely and engine is in good nick. I will of course need ECU and part of the loom of this car for the E30. Not sure how yet and also want to keep e30 parts functional and relatively integrated. Not sure if possible but would like to take all the running gear out of this and put it into the E30. But i might need the rear end out of the compact e36's. What ever the case i will be keeping those rims for the e30 Touring. What i need to know: How much? What i can and cant do from this basic outlay of my plan? How long and what gear will i need? (Mainly on the electrics) Cheers for any input.

Wiring wouldn't be that firm? It feels well stuck. The dash flexes when you wrench on it.

There is a little more than a few tabs holding that in. I feel there is a screw or something holding it firm as it seems to wiggle off one point but nothing points to any screws? Almost took the whole dash for a flying lesson.

Right,I can get the head unit out but its little cage it goes into i can seem to remove without damaging the dash. Does anyone know how to remove this cage without taking the whole dash apart?
