Thanks,

Very nice work. I did the E90 servo and master cylinder conversion and I didn't end up shortening the clevis, I left it alone and it was roughly about right and just tweaked the bar adjustment behind the pedal box itself. I used a hardened bolt and spacers to get the right fit with the E30 linkages,...

Wow that radiator! I ended up using a cheap ebay E36 M3 aluminium rad... It's the first time I've been satisfied with the cooling of my M30.

Lovely car and amazing work! It's going to be incredible.

I fitted Dan's setup a few months back and couldn't be happier. Brilliant fit and performance.

So... I know I started this topic but my Z4 rack is coming out in favour of a 067 purple tag! I really enjoy the Z4 rack but I was finding on long track sessions I was exhausted manhandling the steering so much with sticky tyres and no assistance! It works great, but I guess I'm just not beefy enoug...

I've done two M30 conversions with M10 5 speeds. It bolts right up, using the E30 320i prop and gear linkage. The main issue is what to do with the clutch and flywheel. My first one I used the M10 flywheel with an uprated M10 CG paddle clutch (215mm from memory), it seemed OK but I wasn't 100% sure ...

I've currently got fitted a new M535i radiator fitted in my setup, with twin P38 range rover fans, for normal duties this is working perfectly. Recently I went on a normal Snetterton track day and the car was creeping over the halfway mark up to 3/4, much quicker than I liked and I had to do cool do...

Sounds like a good option for the rally crowd using an EPAS column from a Corsa or similar. Will something like Dan's shaft with e34 knuckles not work? I'm not sure, it depends if the steering linkage splines are the same (I don't think they are) and the length needed for the shaft between the UJs....

This is heavily documented on R3vlimited but I couldn't find a RHD example of this being done. If you don't know Z4 racks are fully manual due to z4s having electronic column power steering. I bought a rack of ebay for £70 delivered, but had to buy the Z4 linkage seperately for another £40 delivered...

Hmm might just be easier to get a 2nd hand one then... Thanks!

I'm after a new front valance panel but the only place I can see supplying them online is Eurocarparts for £60. Should I just lump for that or is there another better/cheaper source?

I'm not too worried if it's not great quality - neither's my car!

That's true Brian but 99% of M30 swaps these days use just one position, the one that puts the engine furthest back which I believe is "position 3". On Lee's mounts there is only position 2 and 3, and using anything other than position 3 would mean the radiator would have to be mounted well within t...

During my first M30 swap I thought I had to smack the hell out of the bulkhead to make room for the engine, I was not only wrong, I actually caused the bulkhead to touch against the brake bar that runs along behind it. As such it caused drag and the need to flick the pedal back fully up. Maybe this ...

I believe 320i and 325i linkages are different lengths but I know that 320i linkages are the direct fitment, as such 325i linkages shouldn't work.

False. M30 engine + M10 Gearbox + M20B20 prop + M20B20 gear linkage = SUCCESS (I've done that recipe twice now)

I'm 99% sure the M10 prop is not the same length as an M20B20 prop, therefore M10 prop is not a direct fit.

I'd go for BCs as for the same price they come with top mounts and the ability to change suspension height without affecting spring travel/preload. I have Gaz GHAs for what it's worth that I got for £500 second hand with the rear top mounts, I had the front top mounts from a prior project. The top m...

Nice one Lee! I've told my pal to make contact

It looks like Lee hasn't posted since 2014, does anyone know if he still does the mounts? If so how can he be contacted? Otherwise is there another good source?

I've done an M50 E21, rotating the M50 upright to the M20 angle means the sump hangs down awkwardly and needs to be cut, winged and welded along with a custom pick up. If you rotated an M20 to an M50 angle then I'm not sure where the sump will end up. It could be tucked up towards by the rotation so...

Good news, decent fans for all!

Oh dear, perhaps I should off myself

I stripped down my E36 rack, cut all the seals out and greased it all up so it's pretty much a full manual 3.4 turn rack. It's just about bareable when parking and is fine once on the move and out on track.

Trouble with the E30 manual racks is they are 4.4 turns or higher I believe?

I run (for the time being...) an M30 with an E36 rack, though the rack has no power steering. I can't help with the plumbing but I can say that a custom linkage is not needed if you use an E36 rack. Fit the rack in the rear holes of the subframe (usual PAS rack position), take the rubber flex/guibo ...

Another shout for Footman James. E30 320i with 3.5 swap, coilovers, all mods declared, agreed value. For a total of £475............. The £475 was actually for a group policy also including E32 750i + 6 speed manual box, lowered, wheels E23 730 lowered, wheels MK1 MX5 lowered, wheels Unbelievable va...

Nice Rav, CLEAN!

I have a 17" set for another BMW so not a direct comparison, I've had them a while and no signs of buckling so far.

I think it's a case of what's available to you. In order of what I'd use... 1 - E34 M30 box, E28 M30 singlemass flywheel, E28 M535i clutch 1 - E30 M10 box, E30 S14 flywheel, 228mm M20 uprated clutch 2 - E30 M10 box, E30 M10 flywheel, 215mm M10 paddle clutch All will do a similar job and the M10 padd...

I've had an absolute mare trying to keep my E30 M30 conversion cool. I ended up buying a brand new 16" Mishimoto fan which was advertised for working in both directions, it also was rated at something like 1850 CFM. After I fitted it the car was still overheating... the fan was the issue. I think so...

I've done two M30 conversions, both times using an M10 getrag 240. The first time I used M10 flywheel with that CG paddle clutch. I didn't drive the car long before I sold it but it seemed to hold up. I remember it did slip once but it was a pretty hard clutch dump. I should think for longer term it...

Looks mint

Let us know how you get on with the BCs! The roll bar comparison picture is hilarious!

I bought a nissens and it's perfect for my drift/track 3.5 conversion. I'd rather go new to be honest and when I bought mine there was barely any second hand ones out there.

I've purchased a kit like you've described, I got it from a guy in Latvia that advertised on r3vlimited, will be fitting them soon, total cost was about £180 delivered. http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=306268 This kit does seem like it's been tested a fair amount for two years with ...

If you fancy a challenge then you're welcome to the shell...

Some of you guys must be thinking of another 318is as this was the original engine as far as I know. It all looked factory fitted. The engine was SUPERB, hence keeping it and going into my E21 (and for sentimental reasons)
