E30 Zone

I've seen an E30 I like but it's got a cracked dash, I assume the E36 won't since it's a wider car but I was just wondering?

If not are all E30 dashes the same or do some have extras?

Which has more usable parts/better for the swap?

Where you there when the big lifted trucks arrived? I know the owners

I want to ring around next week to see what i'll be paying on an 325i and how much extra it will cost with an M52, so I was hoping I could get some references to companies that you've had good experiences/quotes from since cheapest isn't always best.

I've just looked it up, M118 106 lb.ft straight from bmw.

Sorry to all

Bloody wikipedia...

hmmm if that is true, it's quite worrying that so much bullshit flys about...

i'll see if I can find an old bmw user manual...

My bad that's quoting the L-Jetronic Fuel Injection again.

Try this one: http://www.usautoparts.net/bmw/engines/m10.htm

So its got nearly as much as torque as the far newer 16v valvetronic donk in my E46? Whatever. Yes that is exactly what i'm saying: http://www.bmwheaven.com/component/option,com_bkbsearch/Itemid,9/func,bkbengines/mtype,M10 I can provide lots of other sources if you like? 8v engines generally produc...

Ah, Wikipedia - 25% bullsh!t...

Further down it says 103 ft/lb which seems more likely IMO.

If you read it mate, that figure is for the M10B18 with L-Jetronic Fuel Injection.

That can't be true????????????????????????????????

The 1.8 L (1773 cc/108 in3) M118 produced 90 hp to 130 hp (67 kW to 97 kW) and 143 to 150 ft·lbf (194 to 203 N·m).

Applications:

* 1963-1974 BMW 1800
* 1974 E12 518

Wait a second, I was thinking about the M42.

Yes I agree the M10 is a better engine than the M40, for performance use.

You can't compare the M42 to the S14... that's like comparing and S50 to an M50...

EDIT: my bad

You wouldn't need more than 7/8 psi to get the figures he's after, as you say however the effort is hardly worth it... plus the turbo, intercooler...etc all add weight where you dont want it. I think an S50B32 which is remapped on a good quality 2.5"+ non-cat exhaust system with a higher volume perf...

How hard is it to change the pedal box?

When you say struts, what do you mean, since i'll be buying new shocks/springs anyway or is the mounting different?

which engine would be best if your after big bhp using forced induction, m50 or s50? I guess it depends what you mean by big bhp?? At a guess, for ease, simplicity and comparative cheapness, Id say M50. Turboing or S/charging any engine isnt cheap, but starting with an expensive engine to begin wit...

Has anyone got a list of everything required using non M3 E30 parts?

I did a search but it seems the engine only picks up the word conversion which comes up with allot of stuff!

I'm thinking about buying a 316i auto to do an M52 manual conversion, Kos said this makes things more difficult?

Could anyone elaborate for me?

Also depends what you want to use it for?

Is it possible to still buy new e30 m-tech springs/dampers, are they lower than standard?

So just to make it clear I should be looking for an LSD which is sub 3.5 for an M52?

Also for cruizing and fast road what lock up should I be looking for, 10/20/30/40%?

http://www.turrisimotorsports.com/race_ ... M52B28.htm states 170-180 kg

http://www.turrisimotorsports.com/race_ ... M50B25.htm states 198kg

I suppose 18-28kg is about right really?

What's the difference between the B8 and the B6?

I was just wondering, how much weight do you save with the alloy block?

Not much i'm sure but I thought it would be interesting just to know?

pm'd back

Sorry to the OP for taking this slightly OT!

Is the 16" set 4x100?
I'll definitely have them if the price/condition is right

I will be interested BIGJO

Are the 16" 4x100 and if so are they staggered?
Are the B10 staggered?

One variation i've found is: 8.5J x 17H2 et12. Part No. Alpina 3611638 KBA41262.

Did they do anymore?

Does anyone know the spec on them in terms of diameter/width/ET for front and rear?

I was just about to say that! lol. Far too much work and messing around just to get them to fit

they don't come in 16" unless you get some bespoke barrel/dish made up and thats mucho $$$.

Does anyone have a pic of an E30 4x100 8" alpina rim?

Ahhh nevermind, I was thinking if you owned it then I could put business your way but I would rather use fritz if that's the case.

Will do, OT but out of interest do you own zero exhausts and if so can you do a manifold/exhaust system for an e30 m52?

Same colour too!

That's fine it would be great if you could help me out, if it doesnt sell on ebay of course

E36 Dash in an E30? (or anything similar)

528i or 328i for an M52?
