Does it matter what E36 its from?

what have you blanked the ports off with? I'd replace the p/s pump with one without the self leveling ports. They were blanked off with the standard blanking plugs that BMW use if the car doesn't have self-levelling suspension. Now I think about it I also bought a pump without the blanking plugs an...

Right been years since I started my M50 swap but now I finally have a garage of my own I can crack on. I nearly had it all working a few years back but my power steering pump kept leaking profusely every time I started the car, I was leaking out of the self-levelling suspension ports that have been ...

Well there not so much missing I know there in a scrap yard some where lol when I scraped the shell I only had limited time to strip it and the door parts were glued on or some thing couldn't get them off for the life of me. Yeah and one of clips on the fiber glass bumper is broken. Think i'l put al...

Is got most of the clips, complete rear bumper full bottom side skirts but with the upper side skirts the panels that go on the doors are missing. All the parts are made out of some sort of plastic and have BMW stickers and stamps on apart form the Front bumper which is fiber glass and has no markin...

Ok thanks.

I had lots of problems before I called them with lot...

Hi does anyone know what is required to fit an M50 inlet manifold to an E36 328 M52? I already have the manifold just wondering if anything else is needed.

Thanks Matt

I'l try and get an E36 one for it this week cheers for the help

Hi I have done an M50 swap on my e30 the engine is from an E34 5 series and the power steering pump has 2 blanking plugs that would be used if the car had self levelling suspension but as it doesn't BMW fitted blanking plugs to it. The pump leaks constantly from these 2 blanking plugs even though th...

thanks for all the advice guys think i'l have a look at the fritzbits one i have a feeling it'l be a disaster if i try and make one myself lol. Cheers i will post pictures when its finally finished.

Do you have any idea how expensive? I could probably tack it together i just dred to think what my pipework would look like!

Hi does anyone know if i can get a custom exhaust manifold made up by some one who will come out to my car in sussex? Or if someones got one to sell?
Cheers Matt

Is the manifold your using cast iron or tubular m52 manifolds? cast can't be modified easily/at all, tubular ones can be cut and welded with relative ease. Its a tubular m52 one do you know exactly what i need to do bearing mind i can't weld? because i've started wondering if it would be easier to ...

Matt

hey thanks for the tips i've looked at my rear top mounts but to be honest i don't know what i'm looking for, it all looks attached so i'm getting my mate who is a mechanic to look at it tonight and give me a diagnosis if they are gone where should i get the parts from BMW or ebay?

Hey i'm a little worried about my car i've got a 325 sport and I think the LSD might be on its way out basicly it makes this knocking or donking noise when the back wheels go over bumps it seems worse when going down a hill any help anyone could give me would be greatly appriciated.

Matt, Brighton
