Can anybody tell me the wiring on the 80/88c temp switch .
Obviously the brown is earth but which of the other wires operates which part of the switch ?

Just finishing off the m52 swop into my e 30 .ive just fitted the m50 manifold and there's no hole in the manifold for the oil breather/separator .whats the best way to pipe it up ? I can put a pipe from the cam cover straight into the air intake just before the butterfly and blank off the sump retu...

Respect your knowledge Brian but everyone I've owned ( that's quite a few) do .!!!!!

The cars in mid wales . The fuel pump should run for a couple of seconds when the ignition is turned on to prime the system then switch off .as you say when cranking the pump should start to run . We swapped the relay and that made no difference. I need to check feed to relay ,got a idea the ecu con...

A mate just purchased a 88 325 I .the car has been stood up for about 4 years..the car ran fine on test drive and when he took it for a short blast when he got it home. After hitting a speed bump it ran rough ,but as it was low on fuel he didn't think anything of it. After getting home he added fuel...

Need some help guys.popped into the guys a cr mtech on Friday .whilst there chris checked a e36 328 loom for me. Coming out of the engine loom bulkhead plug is a thick green wire and About an inch from the plug there is a thin green wire soldered into it .my loom had the bulkhead plug cut off it whe...

Ok so I need to strip the tape off the loom and see which green wire goes to the ecu and the other should go to the coil packs ?
So pin 10 on the ecu is the ews signal wire ,I will follow that from the plug and check the colour .

Thanks very much

Started to wire up the e36 engine loom to the e30 c101 plug .
Terminal 7 is a thick green wire from the e30 plug that goes to the green wire in the e 36 loom.i have two thin green wires in the e36 engine loom.do I connect both to the single wire from the plug or is there a specific one ? Thanks

When you install the brown m20 temp sender ,what colour wire do you connect it to on the m52 temp sender

I'm looking for a conversion to vented rear brakes on my rally car.any known conversions available?
I have to keep the handbrake inside the discs for mot purposes,so probably looking at something off another bm.
Have seen somewhere the 328 rears re drilled .any body done this ? Thanks

Hi .im in process of the m52b28 install.
In the car is a omex shift light that picks up engine speed from the coil.
As the m52 has coil packs ,does any one now how it's wired up.
I have a feeling ,I can wire it in to the wire for the cars rev counter? Anybody no? Thanks

Search back a couple of pages.plenty of info on it.
It's not cheap ,and danthe wasn't impressed with the results.
Different size spline on gearbox input shaft,etc .
I looked at it and gave up the idea.
M3 6 speed is the cheapest way .

Does car have rear discs?
I had similar problem and it was one of the handbrake shoe linings come loose .as you slowed down it was jamming under other shoe .

Pm on its way thanks dan

Hi looking for a metal thermostate housing .
Where's the best place to get one and does anybody have a part number thanks .

A mate is breaking a 5 series this weekend ,does anything else fit .
Is the exhaust manifold(tubular steel) any good to modify?
Is the prop any good?
It's a manual so is gearbox cross member any good.?
Any other bits? Thanks

I no I have seen photos and write up on this being fitted to a m52 but despite a search I can't find the answer. My m52b28 alloy block doesn't have another hole to screw the brown temp sensor into next to the original needed for the ecu .whats the alternatives? Do I need to drill and tap the flat se...

Why do you say the 6 speed is easy to lunch when it handles far more torque in the diesels than any m50 or 52 produces.?

Hi I bought a m50 525 that was in a e30. It's got a tubler steel manifold which cleared the e30 steering column .is this possible to use on my m52 2.8 I'm installing ?

Thanks

I'm using the e36 328 gearbox with my conversion ,but won't to junk the dual mass flywheel.is it ok to use the m20 lightened flywheel and clutch between the m52b28 and the 328 box?
Also I take it I use the m20 starter

Hi I have fitted this to my car . Just need to sort wiring. I wire is earth ,I take it one is constant live and other is ignition live is that right ? Thanks

Hi .the car was built and used by Roland Llewelyn from west wales( David llewelyns uncle).roland was very quick and it ran quite high up on several events,the challenge was very competitive and it often was a case of win or bin. Each year Roland started well but thru minor offs, work, etc he dropped...

Hi just looked at wiki for my m52 conversion. Top diagram shows e30 plug to m50 and the wires on the e30 plug match mine. Bottom diagram shows e30 plug but different wire colours,to m 52 loom Question is don't all e30 plugs have the same colour wires ? Or is it early and late engine looms. If so do ...

Thanks guys. I no the e30 m3 s run 17 and sometimes 18s but was unsure about normal arched cars. Makes the fitting of my brake kit easier too!!!!

Hi has anybody tried 17" wheels and competition tyres on a e30.?ive been offered a set that are e30 pcd but don't wont to pay carriage if there no good.the tyres are equal to 205/60x. 17.thanks

Sorry question not clear ,I won't to no factory setting as I believe I have a bent rear arm it's showing 2 degrees negative camber where other side is just over 1 degrees.as there are tolerances in production , I wanted to no factory settings ie 1-1.5 degrees

Hi I'm looking for the factory camber setting for the rear suspension on a 89 325 .the springs are standard ,but it does have updated beam and wishbone bushes .thanks
