E30 Zone

I have used a 740i item but the front needs cutting and boxing to make fit as it is much wider than any e30 item

do you know if the m62 auto prop is ideal for the chop? I can not find a manual one to complete mine? when you say MB splined joint is it not possible to do this with just the e30/e39 unit?

Thanks, didnt want to take it off and then find it would not fit, I had to wrestle for hours taking the 320 axle off today

Hi all, I am looking to change the rear axle of my 320 which has drums to disc's and was wondering if the complete rear axle from a 92 316 tourer would fit? I will be using the 320 diff but am not sure if the rest will fit?

thanks.

hi, you have made this swap look so easy!! just re-starting my stalled m62 swap (out side build & shite weather) after many hours cutting welding and swearing at my manifolds I have decided to get some made.. how are your performing? and would you recommend them to others doing this conversion?

still fighting with the v8..... and chasing the unseen rot behind the shiny black paint

still its getting there

Hi jonsku, just been reading the article in Pbmw, your car looks great! and thanks to you I have decided to step my build up a notch, original plan... chuck it together and go racing, now we have decided to remove the engine and tidy up the engine bay as I have not been happy with the way it was loo...

go for it and good luck!! I have been doing the conversion my self and with a great lot of help from the guys here on the zone its going well so far.... (I may change this quote when I get to the electrics )

I was thinking of going the same route, but thought I would give this ago first, actually its the first thing I have ever welded! Im sure they are far from perfect but they will do until funds allow a better option, the budget has kind of been spent on k sport brakes and gaz golds, id love to see so...

I have been making exhaust manifolds fit today, man thats no fun! I managed to complete one side, will aim to get the steering arm side completed one night this week, I will try to post some pics soon of my progress, is danthe still selling the solid steering arm? I think this my make life a lot eas...

Cheers Mike, just what I needed to hear as I have some on order... should of asked on here first! cheap track day toy idear has gone well and truly out of the window! I am mounting the master cylinder inside the car as to make space for the m62 and have a 54oi master cylinder so it should be up to t...

Hi all, im 1/2 way through my m62 build and have been looking for big brakes and I have seen the k-sport 330mm 8 pot kit which seems to be a very reasonable price but are they any good? seen them on a few drift cars but not had the chance to ask any owners about them. anyone here know much about the...

Excellent, so as my arches are heavily rolled and pulled I could go even wider on my m62 track car?

how far do the wheels stick out from the acrhes?

Hi all, looking for a new set of wheels for my track car (heavily rolled arches) and have seen some stunning rota wheels but am not sure on what et I would need to fit this size? Have been usings alpina reps up til now but can't see what et they are?

Nice one, was going to order a 3-litre one today, glad I jumped on here first!! cheers kerrie

I have a 3-litre dual mass flywheel and 6 speed(540i) , so I can use the m6244 clutch?

and that will work ok with the 3-litre flywheel?

Thanks once again, I am still on the look out for a manual ECU I think rocking horse poo would be easier to find! I still have a fair amount of work to do before I get to the electrics but I may need some advice very soon

cheers kerrie

thank you, I am using a six speed gear box so what clutch would I need to use? a 3.0 clutch? and will that be ok with the extra power of the m62?

will the 3.0v8 flywheel fit the m62?

Great, been trying to do that for over a year!!

Thanks for the tips I will give that a go, the wheels are going back on the tourer which I will be using on the next track day, work has gone mental the last few weeks so not had much time to play with the v8, I think there is another day at bedford in october if you fancy going there again?

cheers, i will give that a go

hi chaps, hope all is well. how the hell do I get my pics on here? ive been trying for ages?

yes that is what i have at the moment,I have been looking for a manual loom and ecu but not having much luck at the mo

excellent, thank you very much

With regards to getting the engine in and out I found cutting the front panel off the car gives you so much more space to get the engine in and out, but that said mine is a track car and I don't mind it being put back together with an un-factory look/finish just as long as it is strong.

I have everything you mention above, and I have fitted a manual box. Very grateful for your help, I will have to get someone to go through any information you give me as I will only confuse my self more

Thank you!! I am a chef by trade and have been very proud of my efforts thus far, I admit the project is way out of my leauge but have enjoyed it up to now its an 88 320i that i put a 325 in last year and now the m62 which was out of a 99 540 auto, i would love to have the ability to finish it my se...

hi all, just in the process of an m62 conversion which has tested my minimum mechanical to the limit, is there any one in the london/herts area that would take it on as a job to finish the wiring and geting her up and running for me? I do not even want to make a start as I can only just wire a plug!...

hi chaps, top day, and good to meet you all. I wondered where you had gone? did you have far to go get home? after nursing that rattle all day it finally went on the way home, had to tow it the last mile! ( have to admit to playing silly bugers though) engine already out and and trying to work out h...
