excellent photography!

Pure Porn.....OH YEAH!

I would think glow plugs would not be needed when the car is warm even on a cold start if there not working in our climate it just causes a bit of roughness until it warms. It could be a fuel delivery pump issue you need to check the supply pressure should be around 3bar I think. Other than that po...

any progress on this beast?

quick photoshop impersonation with front bumper...

Dropped and rimmed up, BTW these alloys are available; PM me for more details.

what are those ebay m50 turbo manifolds like? Anyone used one in a conversion etc?

Obviously at £120 a manifold I suppose your not expecting much, but you never know; maybe there are some successfull conversions out there that I don't know about.

If I used a M50 engine in an E36 328i, what missions am I looking at when it comes down to wiring harness and ECU etc.

The E36 has got a good gearbox and clutch but the engine is blown so I am planning to use a M50 I have kicking about.

Any help would be great.

gave it a quick once over.

I have seen you driving this around. If it was my car I would go more euro; your nearly there already. You should tint your windows, will make the car stand out proper good. http://i45.tinypic.com/27z9or9.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/k1yhw3.jpg If you need that engine conversion done in the near futur...

They should have mass produced that E34

Ok will ramble around in my shed tommorow and have a look at what I have left. Iam sure there is loads of E30 goodies in there as well.

That M5 convertible is excellent! I want one

I see your still building the car. If you need any other bits give me a shout. I still got the loom ecu and other M30 engine bits and bobs.

thats great bodgery skills!

Proper tramp drift contender, you using a welded diff?

my aim in doing this was to make the engine temperature lower while running If I wanted to reduce engine temp whilst running, I would use heat wrap on the manifold and I would arrange for some extra ducting to the engine bay, increase the air flow so air can easily pass around the engine, by this I...

Rust is probably the biggest factor, stopping me buying another E30 again.

They rust everywhere, windscreen, jacking point, sunroof, window seals, arches!

As most have said above avoid fanny paddles. They have an array of problems, BMW released SMG2 but its not really worth the risk. Better off buying a manual.

I was referring to 3.5 M30, rather than the 2.8 M30

My brother had a camo green 528i, but a black E28 looks much better in standard form. The 2.8's are a juicy lump... I think the M30 has better fuel consumption that this engine. I want to get one and do a M52 swap, I think that engine will be perfect for this tank of a car, but my g/f won't let me I...

Good swap, I see you need M20 suspension. I have a full M20 uprated set for sale.. also have rear trailing arms for rear brake disc conversion etc...

PM me for more details.

thirsty old brutes, ain,t they

Thirsty does not even come close to describing their fuel lust.

BBS look phat! Stick with them. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y110/Splondike/Trackday%20Bedford/DSC_1139.jpg I have told you before, going to tell you again. This has to be one of the best E28's I have seen. Loving it 8) Heres a pic of my brother E28 with council alloys. I love E28's they are gre...

I could swap the leftovers for the suspension set up u pm'd me about? Leftovers.... :? I want the complete car, apart from the obvious things your going to pull out such as engine & gearbox, loom etc. I am not interested in a leftover E34. Yes I would part exchange the suspension setup with the dea...

How clean is the E34? Accident damaged, rust issues?

As you will not need the E34 after you have pulled the engine out.. and if it is in good nick.. and the price is right.. I might be interested..

Let me know either way, I am on the hunt for a new project...

That sounds awesome, nice build. Must handle like a dream around twisty's.

I like it!

First thing is that you will need uprated suspension, 51mm struts and discs all round

I have a set of a 325i if you need it. PM me for details and pics

But FFS, if you smell gas in the car you don't light-up!

I agree thats just common sense, but this guy is an old boy. So he lit up anyway!

He could smell gas in the car and passed it off as remnants from the petrol stat...

There's nothing unreliable in running on LPG providing the system is installed correctly

You answered your own question.

It can be done, nothing is impossible. But why? Reliability will be shit if not done properly and sounds like a waste of time & money. Alot of engine components need lubrication from oil especially in older engines. By modifying that and then using LPG, it will indeed need some tinkering to get it r...
