Heya everyone, just wondering if anyone has done the M30B35 conversion in an E21 and give me some help?? Mid next week I am picking up my first Euro car :cool: it's a 1980 E21 which was originally a 320 6 cyclinder manual. When I pick it up it will have a M30B35 engine already in the engine bay...

I have looked in the shops, online, etc. no sign. all that I could find was the american model online which is a totally different engine; the S50 B32 engine is nowhere to be seen ... Thanks

Hi everyone, I'm considering buying a E93 335i (2007~2008). I've read a fair bit online about serious issues with fuel pumps and turbos etc, however they seem to be mostly reports from the USA and I couldn't find any threads about these problems on this forum. So basically - does anyone know...

I have an E36 with 5 speed manual ZF gearbox. I had a stage 2 F1 racing clutch and single mass flywheel fitted at Auto Dynamics in Cheltenham and as soon as it was fitted the gearstick wobbled lightly while reversing and shook violently when engine braking in second gear. The vibration is linked...

Hey Guys, Stumbled upon this just now, if people were looking for cheap stub axles to start a 5-lug conversion, this is your lucky day! http://store.bimmerworld.com/inventory-blowout---genuine-bmw-96-99-m3-front-spindles-p1066.aspx US$35 a side!

Hey, Ive done the timing belt on my e30 323i, and im trying to fix the timing now. Before i did the belt it seemed quicker than it is now, more responsive low down etc.. Anyway, a mate reckons it too retarded, so i figure i'll advance it a bit. So i checked with a timing light, and when i...

Hi forumites, My apologies if this is already on the database, but I did run a search & could not find an answer. This is probably a common question....... I was looking to upgrade my 2002 E46 cassette radio to a CD radio from a slightly later E46. Cannot work out if E46 radios were coded or...

Does anyone know what options are available in terms of swapping out the 318 motor for something better? Ideally i'd like to get a 323 or 328 motor swapped in. What's needed to perform the swap? i.e. ECU, engine mounts, suspension etc. Will it mate up to the 318 manual gearbox?

Hey, Apparently top gun sell e30 ignition leads. The price i was quoted was 130ish without ducting or180ish with ducting. Only problem is I dont know what they're referring to when they say with/without ducting. Anyone know? The guy I talked to at the shop didnt know either. Thanks.

Hey guys. Had a dude drop into work today asking if he can buy/trade for my standard 14inch BBS wheel. I'm assuming these wheels are getting sought after? How much are they worth these days? Thanks in advance

Hey everyone, Dropping a different motor/gearbox into a e36 so a custom tail shaft is a must. Wondering if it is worth going with a one piece shaft? Is it hard to get the alignment right to avoid vibration? For anyone using a one piece, whats your opinion?

My 635csi (e28 based) driveshaft is rooted, anyone have much knowledge on what options I have for replacement? It's currently got a getrag 265, I'm assuming this complicates things regarding length, and that I can't just bolt up a replacement from an auto 635csi? I presume a 535i would have...

Real quick question, I forgot which line is fuel feed and which one is return on the injector rail. Cheers, George

I've been working away on my 325e project for some months now. http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a49/varden/S6301466.jpg Since i have stripped out all of the engine bay aircon parts i would also like to pull out the under dash unit in the cabin. Especially since the pipes running under the...

There's been a few discussions about pixels of late. I need to get mine done, the speedo / mileage / on board comp etc readings .... sometimes they are as bright as the Blackpool Lights, sometimes as dim as my brain is right now. My question is basically about the `ribbons` that are on offer...

can anyone think of a reason why my blinkers would stop working? my hazards still work which means the relay is fine. help anyone?

Hey guys, Looking for an E30 Manual any one to take bits from. Anyone know of one for sale anywhere in Sydney area ? Just missed out on one on the Bay last weekend for under a $1k. Any help appreciated GarC :search

Another lost weekend underneath the bimmer ! (E46 325i Sedan 2002.) This week I am replaced the FCAB's (front control arm bushes) as I could feel them moving around when braking & turning. (the rubber bush was starting to break up) I have the BMW TIS CD which has all the tightening torques, so...
