Re:

what about getting a security post mate, they can be a decent deterrent, maybe one at the end of the drive and one outside the garage door?

Re: my m50 conversion

cheers for the comments guys, i found just lifting it by the front lifting hook so its hanging vertically and the just pushing the box to the rear on a trolley jack was the easiest way of getting it in.

rebuilding e34 diff into e30 case

can it be done?

ive got an e34 525i rear diff which is the perfect ratio for my m50 conversion, apparently the e34 diff wont fit the e30 but can the inards be transfered between the two?

just talking open diffs at the minute but would be nice to convert it to a slipper at the same time.

cheers les.

Re: OK guys, make me want an E30

hi pikie nice to see you over here, i was in the same boat as you so bought a cheap 318 with a knackered engine and am fitting a 2.5 24v from an e34 5 series in it, similar in complexity to the mi16 conversion on the pugs (pretty easy basically)

Re:

should be getting an engine out of a friends e34 525i in a couple of weeks, most of the gearboxes mentioned on here seem to be e36 are the e34 ones the same?

also earlier in the thread there was a prop with e36 front shaft and e30 rear shaft and centre bearing will this fit the e34 box?

cheers guys.

fitting e36 m40 to e30 318i

what would need to be done to fit a e36 m40 in place of the m40 in my e30?

is it just a case of swapping the sumps and pickup pipes?
