Yeah I think it is OZ stamped on them. Just wondered what the actual name/model was

I have just bought these wheels and I am trying to find the spec and name of them as the listing was a bit vague. All it said was that they fit E30, E21 & E3. They called them 15" BMW OZ dishes. Is this correct? http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/8076/alloys.jpg Any help would be greatful Regards Pem

Thank you everyones input. Loving the idea of the truck suspension. How I did chuckle! It's interesting to see the different spring setups people have used. At present I'm using Jamex 60mm springs all round with cheap yellow german uprated shocks off eBay. I have just ordered sleeves etc to make my ...

Just really wondering what people are doing for suspension on there E30 M30's? Mine is currently running uprated shocks and 60mm lowering springs. I am finding that there is way too much movement in the suspension. I do believe the lowering springs are from a 320i. Also got strut brace front and rea...

Thank you. I will do just that!

Hello there I have been doing some research and I was wondering where is best to take the oil feeds for the turbo? I have got the E28 oil filter housing with the outlets for the oil cooler. Can the feed be taken from here and then to the cooler? Any help would be greatful as I can't find much on thi...

It's been remapped and stainless exhaust system. So no major mods!

Thats not a bad idea. I have been looking at BMW E34 535i external pumps. They should be suited.

Thank you

Thats interesting. It's abit hard for me to go back to the standard tank and pump as it has been removed due to the car being used for track.

I suppose I could get an external pump designed for that engine. I have seen uprated 325i fuel pumps. Would this work?

Hello there I am currently having alot of trouble trying to setup my 3.5l. I had the car running fine off the standard fuel tank and fuel pump but have since removed it all and gone for an alloy tank in the boot with swirl pot. First of all I had an overfueling issue so I bought an uprated adjustabl...

Thank you for everyones input. Lots to look into and research now. So go with that quote for the manifold then. It's a mates rate.

Thanks again

Thats great news!! I have been quoted £600 for a custom manifold

Where abouts can you get it mapped?

Any how much for the complete conversion? Will there need to be uprated injectors?

I have a 3.91 and the wheels just spin in first! Been great fun as I use the car from drifting but I find you seen forever changing gear. Im going with a 3.63 meduim case. So somewhere in between everyone elses recommendations.

Hello everyone Long time no speak. I have since taken the 335i on the track for a drift session and found a few things to alter eg rear camber etc. I have been thinking about fitting a turbo to the 335i. I wondered if anyone else has done that on here. I was wondering if an 'ebay special' M20 turbo ...

It looks the same as my big case LSD. Exactly the same! Just one is an LSD and the other is open.

I have an open diff removed from an old 1986 325i SE Saloon and wondered if anyone would know the diff ratio. The car was manual.

I did have the fans the correct way and I used the car with the bonnet off. Sounds like I would be better off with an E34 Air Con fan. Which one? I have checked the rad and there are no blocks in the rad. I think I will also have a look at altering the front grill to allow more air in. I had a look ...

I used my 335i for the first time on the weekend at Pembrey drifting. Fair's they do go well! The car currently has two 10" slim fans strapped to an E28 M535 radiator to help with cooling which prevent the temperature from increasing but it does take a while for it to cool down. I wonder if there is...

Thank you everyone! Yet again you all have helped me greatly. All the wiring is now complete

I only have the 6 wires on the C101 plug connected. They are the wires to make it run.

So I don't have a speedo or anything like that at the moment.

I did have a look through the Wiki but didn't have any luck finding anything to help me

Hello there Thank you for everyones helpf with my M30 conversion. I now have the engine running connecting the six wires as shown previously. Here is my first drive with only the manifolds on (exhaust time Friday): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_5-NggUOYw I am having a problem with regards the wir...

Thank you. That will really help me!

Here is a pic of both connectors

I have read the Brian Mooores write up and I will definately be checking I don't do that! So basically I have to swap the 25 pin E34 plug for the 20 pin E30 plug. I am electrically minded as I am a Electrical Fitter by trade but are there any diagrams showing the pin connections for the 25 pin E34 p...

Tidy! Just when I thought everything was getting easier. LOL!

Are there any wiring diagrams or are the wires colour coded the same?

Aw never! You add me if you like. See if that helps

Thanks guys.

So I need to swap it over to for the plug off the M20 loom?

Regards Steven

It is the last photo

No I have that plug next to it. I don't know how to add pictures but here is a link to my Facebook with the two plugs next to one another. The top plug is the E30 fuse box plug

The engine is from a 1989 535i E34 and the E30 is a 1990 320i.

The ECU plugs are the same but the plug for the fuse box is different. Would I be missing something?

Regards

Hello I can see what you are saying but that isn't the problem. I have read the M30 swap posts. On the old M20 loom there is a plug next to the fuse box which has to be disconnected to remove the engine and the loom. I have fitted the new M30 engine with the M30 loom attached and the fuse box plug i...

Hello there I have my engine now in the correct place thanks to everyones advice. I tried to pull the M30 wiring loom into the E30 fuse box plug to find that they are both female plugs. How do I get around this? Do I have to swap the plug over? Are there any wiring diagrams to do this? Regards Steven

Yes that is very true. I know he has done a few before. That price is because I am a mate. Normally he charges a little more. I will give that a go! There just isn't much room. LOL! I am using a E28 535i radiator. I have two to choose from as I was given them when I picked the engine up. Only paid £...

Tidy! Thats abit expensive mind. I was told £800 for a manifold and full system as I know the owner of the exhaust company. Is that a good price then? I think I should go for it. I bought the mounts off here. I had to wait for them to be made. They were bare metal so I painted them black. Hope this ...
