Do they fit a touring? $?

Is that one of those stupid single use hose clips? I forced mine off with a screwdriver and then replaced with new clips and hoses.....

Does M3 suspension etc fit a non m e36? Thought I read somewhere it didn’t. Will be be watching progress!

Sorry that’s probably a huge photo, did it off my phone.

Someone might be interested in this? No association with me.

Removed some twats modifications.

From memory when we had both they were quite different, I don’t think you’d get them to work, but could be wrong, it was a while ago.. I don’t believe one radiator is harder to find than the other either.......

Does anyone know the correct oil filter internal diameter for an M52B28? I got two suggested, one is a 27 (or 28mm) and the other 40 (or 43, can't remember now). '96 E36.

Cheers. Just the usual rocking horse poo if you want something different then.

No, apparently they are not.

Does anyone know if these ever came as clears?

Engine and trans "7 out of 10"??

Yip. Recommended by Super Cheap. Direct match at Wairau, I got the last of it.

Changed fuel pump, fuel filter and fuel hose, it lives!

Turns out Para Rubber is the answer. SuperC didn''t have the right size. $10.

If I'd got it the other day, yes! Ripco is 2.5km, thanks to the Akld motorway, it took me 50 min to get back from yours.

What's the best place to buy fuel hose? Ripco? Need a whole 50mm.

Actually seems like a reasonable assumption.

So to get ~ 100bhp/ litre, you have to rebuild the bottom end of the engine as a service item? Pffft!

100,000 miles or 125,000km? Either way, a service item??

The rego on the bumper goes back to an ‘81 M535i if that’s helpful. Or correct.

This tan?

As I said before, by all means prove me wrong with a project log, dyno runs and maintenance log once it's done. Personally, I don't think you (or anyone else) can reliably achieve 600+ rwhp (700 + crank) from that motor, but give it a go if you think it's achievable. Me, I think you'll need a miracle from the Bishop. If you do get there, based on the torque figure above, your DCT will be under major stress. I would also think you'd go single turbo, but that's just me. If you get there (reliably), I'll buy you a beer.

Your first post pretty much got what it deserved. Bm Workshop have experience modifying these motors, so that would be my first port of call. Suresh who used to be on here a lot had a well modified example, but nowhere like the number you’re talking, you want 700 plus crank hp and reliability? I say you can have one or the other. But please prove me wrong with a project thread, dyno sheet before and after and ongoing maintenance log. Best of luck with your project.

Show me one that’s done 100.000 trouble free. ks. Stock ones do turbos, vanos solenoids and fuel pumps for a start.
