And thats why you dont buy cars from Donegal, fact.

Ye I think 55 is the way to go, thanks for the feedback!

Does anyone have a photo of a set of 205/60 tyres on a set of standard 15 inch bbs wheels? my car is lowered about 40/40, not sure if they will fit well?

Dont think you can loose money on an e28 M5 at this stage

Might have a look in the scrappers so, cheers

Nice one lads, appreciate that!

Sorry if this is already here somewhere, Ive tried searching for it, just finished the conversion and Ive used the wrong one(its blue instead of brown)

Has anyone got a part number for the brown temp sensor for an m52b28?

That sounds good,sometimes you can just get lucky, ye Ive just been hunting around, Im in no major rush, its on temp classic policy for now

Ye its true, they really are a no good bunch of humps,Its just crazy the way it works. Im gonna have to do a bit of research on whats the best route, better safe than sorry. Its the inconsistency of it that gets me. I was insured on a 525 sport when i was 19, for a year and a half, now I'm 23, and t...

So what you're saying is, you're doing something illegal and people won't let you do it? I want to be as legal and straight as I can be with insurance but I refuse to pay the so called "road tax" of 1200 Laws aren't pick-and-mix. If you want the big toys, then cough up like everyone else has to. I ...

I never declared the engine swap to DVLA when I put my M52 into the touring, then I stacked it and had plenty of plod looking over the car at the scene of the crash and all they were bothered about was whether the mods were declared to my insurer (which they were). Obviously, in Ireland you have a ...

pushing â‚¬2400, just finishing now, its really ALL about preperation in my opinion. That includes a very good engine that I got to drive for a month, and a few small cock ups. maybe that seems expensive to some, but any of the good ones Ive seen seem expensive

Ive just completed an m52 conversion, the reason for doing this originally was so that I could have a fast big engined e30 while paying the original 318is road tax. The annual irish road tax for the 318 is 550, which is bad enough, but the annual road tax for a 2.8 litre engine is....a whopping 1200...

Congrats man, looks amazing! gagging to get mine finished now

aaahhhh I see, Dan your a legend as always! thank you!

Ok great I'll try that, cheers Dan! where to the lambda cables go through? under the inlet? should these be fixed/cable tied tight?

In the middle of doing this job now, unfortunately with the lump already in. Was just looking for a bit of advice on the subject of throttle cables, Does the cable, once clipped into the bulkead, need to be clipped to anything along the way from the intake, or have people just left it loose? should ...

Ok sorry think I got it, I'll be at it again tomorro and check it out, thanks a million!! Really appreciate it!

Ok great, just to clarify, on my throttle I have two steel ports, one closer to the inlet manifold, do I blank just one of these or both. Also, sorry to be sponging info, I'm not beside it the engine, where does the other hose(not the one suppose to go into the block) lead to? And should this be blo...

By binning it, do you mean just remove all the hoses an blank off any ports/holes? Or I's there more to it, any negative effects to getting rid of it?

Almost have the engine in the car, its an m52b28 with b28 manifold. Under the inlet manifold there are two ports on my car, one has the brown temp sensor and one has the 328i temp sender. My question is this, I have the return coolant pipe coming from the throttle, but with no port in the block.I re...

Huge thanks to Dan for being extremely patient with me purchasing from Dublin, Excellent to deal with, no hanging around at all, postage was perfect, I cant recommend him enough, I'll start another thread when I have the car built,
Thanks again Dan!

Sorry if this is a repost, i'v tried the search option but cant figure it out properly. Im using an M50 sump on my M52, I have both M50 and M52 dipstick tubes, I know Im supposed to use the M50 dipstick tube, but what do I do about the oil seperator, or should this be incorperated into the M50 tube?...

sound for the reply lads!

Just wondering if theres many out there that have got the flywheel lightned on a lathe, and just used it without balancing it and the crank, I've heard of a few over here in IRL, but just wanted to get a bit of feedback from here, as if it "malfunctions" its a lot of time and money down the cr@pper....

sorry if this is a repost, ive looked through the search, but cant find anything. what needs to be taken of the m50 sump, am i right in saying the piece of metal that is like a little shelf or tray needs to be removed to allow space for the oil pickup? i can take a picture if needs be, but i think i...

cheers man!

wondering if anyone can help me out, im fitting an m20 fly to an m52b28 and need the torque spec for the 8 fly bolts. thanks, also if anyone has the clutch bolts spec that would be a huge help!

Quality write up, the cab looks amazing, best of luck with it.

when you close the door, the glovebox falls into the passengers lap.

nice one, will have to sort this.

Im doing an M52 conversion into a 1990 e30. I have a full system from a 328i coupe with a scorpion back box. Is there much work to be done to the system to fit onto the E30?, excluding the manifolds, or does it fit underneath the E30.

Thanks, Josh.

bought an identical looking cab from a seller on here a couple of years ago for dirt cheap in birmingham(lesson learned), thought i had a bargain,almost four and a half grand later it was sellable, was identical looking to that, but engine was fine and rust wasnt even nearly as bad. really reminds m...
