Evening gents, I'm looking into plonking a big derv in my E30. The M51 fits the bill for power and a little bit of tunability, plus I've driven a 325tds and found it to be quite a good diesel engine for its age. Presumably swapping one of these in (with regards to mounts/loom/prop etc) would be simi...

Good day, I currently have an E30 318i Auto and, due to my slow commute and a dicky leg, I don't really want to convert it to a manual any time soon. However I would like a little bit more power whilst retaining 4cyl economy, so my question relates to linking a 318iS M42 engine to my current M40's a...

Okay cool. Will report back tomorrow.

Cheers DM.

Nope it's pretty firmly in place. It's not so much a rubbing as a crunching with slight resistance, like it's trying to lock as it would when you turn the car off and remove the key.

My ques...

Looks wise I say:

iS front skirt in matt black to sort of match the tech-i
Colour coded door mirrors
Colour coded bumpers (except the black middle bit)
Get rid of the chrome window trims
Paint the wheel centres black
German plates
And lower it 60/40


Make it so...

Oh hai.

Nice car, are all of those yours?

Shouldn't this be in photo gallery?
