what sort of cost would i be looking at if i wanted to build a custom m10. preferably i'd keep a four pot in there. also makes sense to try and avoid conversion complications if i can.

yeah i was thinking about dropping an m40 in and turboing that but that would definately be overbudget. anything over about 1200 and i may aswell just sell mine and buy an Is. still dont really know what to do. an m20b25 would probably be the best bet if i keep the car but im just worried about the ...

i would honestly prefer to turbo it though. has anyone done this?

i already have webers on it. i put them on last october to replace the pierberg. they're 30/32 i think, and have a manual choke which is quite cool. if anyone knows how to safely turbo this then please let me know as i can only find turbo kits for a 318 and the engine management problem as i mention...

the problem is the carbs and getting it running right with no engine management. ive looked into it and it seems a bit dodgy.

what about the weight of the 6 pot compared to the light Is engine? i think its probably going to be one of the two. speaking to the guy that'll do it for me, an e36 engine would be a lot more work due to the mounts etc.

yeah a 2.5 would be lovely but mine doesnt have rear discs. would that be a big problem?
i was thinking an is engine?

any thoughts on what engine i should replace my m10 with? will an e36 lump drop straight in? i have about £1200 tops to spend on it and need some ideas......sensible ones

ah so a trip to ocean bmw i feel is needed. i think the leak is where you say between the body and plastic. at least im not the only one... cheers guys.

anyone have any ideas? today i tried winding PTFE tape around the threads. i drove home from work and the oil had spilt again and was burning up a treat

hi, i have just replaced the oil pressure sensor which was leaking and three weeks later its at it again. is this a common problem or is it a fault with the oil pressure sensor that GSF supply as its the second one i've had leak in year? i changed the distributor housing gasket and the wave washer o...

yeah i would like a 318is really, but haven't really got the money. would need for someone to px with me and i doubt that would happen even though my 316 is in very good nick. how do i find the diff ratio?

can someone please inform me which diff would be best to replace the standard one on a pre facelift 316 M10? would like the car to be a bit more responsive.

GSF ones good then?

need new rear suspension bushes for my m10 316. does anyone know where the best place to get them from is?
cheers

i see. so what is the best option in your opinion? what do you reckon about putting a cone or something down behind the front headlight where the ducting is? could i then do away with the element on top of the carb. or could i get a very good element somewhere for the original filter? like i said be...

ha it does look a bit 2001 a space odyssey to be fair. well ill look into getting a better element instead then. you really think it wont benefit? im not worried about keeping everything OE though. not that much of a purist, just want the best performance.

well i replaced the pierberg 2be carb with webers and wanted to maximise the induction. is the filtration technology of the mid 80s not outdated now?

cool. thankyou

ah the hose came off last summer and i neglected to replace it as it fell to pieces. it was alright all winter though. i do live in the south west so probably not as cold. you definately think i need it?

its cool. i went for this in the end as i have a weber conversion http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/Motorsport/Air_Filters_Accessories/Carburettor_Bolt_On_Filters/KN_Filters_Weber_DFT_DMT_Filter/1686/3162 i think it already does duct the warm air from the exhaust manifold or is that something else on th...

i am looking to replace the air filter on my 316 carb and was wondering if this would work?

any help greatly appreciated

could i use something like this;

i am getting a new air filter for my 316 m10. as i have changed the carbs to webers i was wondering what air filter i should use to maximise the induction. are there induction kits available? if so from where. also wondering what spark plugs would be best. appreciate any help offered.

try looking at the control box. i had this problem this weekend. the control box is located behind the speaker on the drivers side footwell. the loom going to it has a plug i the door arch. you can pull this apart. when i did the pins were corroded and after i scraped them clean the central locking ...

as above. the drivers handles, inside and out wont work. any help please as cant close door or lock and the car is parked on the street

ah just looked at the likn. a bit pricey aint they! any idea where i can get some used ones?

well i dont know where to get them..i still have the original ones yes

does anyone know how to modify the mounts from the standard rear chromie bumpers to fit the tech 1 kit? the pics should help. if anyone has any i have an ad in the wanted secton for some proper ones but was told i can modify the standard mounts. http://i856.photobucket.com/albums/ab121/user1830/DSC0...

i can get the custom exhaust and manifold made quite cheaply as a good friend is a blacksmith/custom bike manufacturer so thats not a problem.

will look around on e30tech as suggested.

any input from anyone is greatly appreciated and taken on board

can you not turbo a carbed m10?

nice! id like to eventually get something like that out of mine. just really hunting for the best way to get there

yeah i should have gone bigger when i fitted mine...hindsight is a great thing.
that looks tasty

what bhp do you get out of her?

ah right. i just recently fitted webers to it. 32/34 if i recall correctly. which did you use?
it came with a manifold so was simple to fit.

i dont want massive amounts of power like i said earlier but definately needs something. think i definately want to stick with the M10 though.
was it hard to convert the head and pistons? did you need any other mods? what was the cost?
