conrod 1 Report post Posted July 31, 2006 Hahaaaa- sprung! I was going to keep it quiet, until the auction finished, less competition for me! I have no use for it, but will grab it if nobody wants to pay reasonable dough for it. Seriously cool engine, someone must want it more than me!

Guest Spargo Report post Posted July 31, 2006 The only thing I dont like about this swap (and lets face it, we're talking E30 swaps) is tha because of the brake linkage, you can't run the motor in "position 3" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted July 31, 2006 Couldn't you just run a custom pedalbox and hydraulic brakes, get rid of the E30 brake setup? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saw it earlier today, that's a huge boost in the price Conrad! Interesting to see how high it will go... someone snag this for their E30! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BM WORLD 1264 Report post Posted July 31, 2006 arrgg.. so the wrong time. Well.. hmm, might see if I can borrow some cash. Make sure you borrow enough for the , new set of extractors you will have to make $1000-$1500 (this came from a LHD) plus a ecu $1000+ plus having to swap sumps , oil pump over. modify engine mounts etc . also will need hotwire AFM .

Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted August 4, 2006 Hey conrod, how come he rings the rest when they leave their numbers, but gets you to keep bidding? Something to do with the dirty talk you reckon? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30stz 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2006 he has another auction for an M3 with his phone number in it ... ring 021 506607 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
conrod 1 Report post Posted August 4, 2006 I was just taking the piss, everyone else asking for him to ring them!.............. I know the guy selling it and have seen the engine, and it is a goody.I would be a mug to let it go for a few grand. I don't really need it, but will own it if nobody wants to pay much for it- this is one of the all time classic BMW engines IMO, and would make an unbelievable E30 or E30 M3. Not the worlds easiest conversion for sure, but would be worth it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

conrod 1 Report post Posted August 4, 2006 (edited) conrad, just outta interest, how much are you gonna pay max? Just so I know that Im out? Normally I would be silly to reveal that,and if I really needed it I wouldn't tell you.But seeing as you asked and I am feeling in a good mood, I am probably not going any higher than my current bid!
