That is a beautiful car, mtech 1 by the looks of it. I’m currently in the process of building something very similar, m52b28 swap into a pfl e30 Sedan, but a light blue color.

Right no worries, if they’re the same size then that’s all good, should be big enough car will never see the track. I guess just pull whichever ones are the least corroded/in the best shape particularly as far as handbrake cables etc are concerned. Sweet that sounds good I’m in no particular rush so no stress.

Just after one set, want to ditch the drum brakes on my pfl 320i. So I’d need calipers, arms, handbrake/cables assembly etc everything required for a disc brake swap. I’d imagine the 320i would have bigger brakes so maybe the ones off that? where abouts are you located?

Hell yeah

Have you got any of the following? manual pedal box clutch hardline clutch reservoir disc brake rear end? medium case diff (low 3s ratio)

Yep it’s unreal, within Auckland is painfully slow. Over ordered stuff from the states that arrived in 3 days, regularly takes well over a week within Auckland

Probably a stupid question, but which spoiler goes on that boot lid? My e30 has the exact same holes, so may be easiest to just cover them with a spoiler

I owned a silver e91 325i for quite a few years and it was an awesome car that gave me only minor issues, the odd misfire from a bad ignition coil and a wheel speed sensor failed. Fantastic cars that are a pleasure to drive.

Having been in the same boat not long ago, unless you’re spending big $ on a mint garage kept example they all have rust, it’s just a matter of how hard you’re willing to look. Only way to get a truely rust free one is to strip it all back and start fresh from there.

Cheers, thank you!

Thought I’d update this, car is pretty much how I want it now so no real need to change much, especially with having picked up an e30 as a new project (there’s a thread for it on here too if you’re interested). car drives great, works perfectly, couldn’t be happier with it, feels special to drive. Took it out for a summers evening drive and got some photos.

As above. Looking for an e30 manual pedal box, doesn’t need to have the master, have a new one already. Also interested in clutch hardline, interior trim/rubber boot, prefacelift windscreen/seal. also looking for a zf 328/m3 (e36) driveshaft cheers.

Yeah might just do the 5th and fresh shifter bushings all round maybe a dssr too as I’m missing the selector rod, unless I can source an oem one for cheap.

Had a quick look now, about $300usd for a full detent kit or is it worth just doing the 5th gear detent? Hard to try and draw the line somewhere of what to replace vs what to just run as is.

I don’t believe so, does it require special tools?
