Have you any Uberkarro IS lower drivers side bolster? looking for the grey with Black leather sides?
Cheers Chris.

if you take the carpet out of the rear of the boot, you can squish a wedge shaped ported box in there. it also helps o vent the bass through into the cabin. I used to have this exact setup, with two 10" subs and a 1000w amp. worked really well, although like you say it does rattle a tad. ive current...

Engine wise, check your knock sensors are the same on both looms, this is where im currently stuck as im refusing to pay £250 for four new sensors. Exhaust wise, I wouldnt waste my time trying to hack together manifolds. Ergen make great off the shelf items (What I have bought) although not cheap. O...

Hi guys, As some of you are aware I've been slowly building an m60b44 and I need some advice on wiring looms. Has anyone done the e30 m60 swap using the e38 engine loom? They seem to be different to the other m60 looms in that they don't have the x20 connector on the head part, to connec to the body...

Firstly make sure you have an m62 and not the m62 vanos engine. The canbus on the vanos engine is an absolute nightmare! Thats how I found myself in the current mess. Then I'd say make life easy for yourself, ditch the dsc and rebuild all of the chain tensioners inside. Also check the oil pump bolts...

It can be done, but you need the full m60 loom and sensors etc as well as the ecu. Search for m60b44 as that's almost what you would have.

To be honest it'd be easier to deal with the ews which is easy if you have the chip and antenna etc.

Cheers Chris.

Thanks Willnz. I'll have another look at it, it would be nice not to have to extend it if possible.
Cheers Chris.

Hi all, Two questions. I've been building an M60B44 engine, however on the M60B40 loom I have I cant see how it connects to the starter motor. Could you show me some pictures of how the starter motor connects to the loom? Also if possible could someone show me the Knock sensor connectors? My loom se...

I'm really curious about where everyone has mounted their ECUs too. Im looking at an m60 winning loom and it will either need a serious extension to get it under the dash board, or ???? Maybe it could be mounted to the bulkhead, but I can't imagine it pretty or particularly weather proofed. Any one ...

Outside I believe. Hopefully it'll work as I'm ordering the manifolds today and the exhaust I've already bought. It was at a decent price so if it doesn't work I'll sort something else.

Cheers Chris.

Thanks Phil, I'm just about to order the Ergen manifolds, I like the look of their full exhaust (saw an S54 one earlier ion the week (with the volume adjuster on it too!) but cant justify the £900 price tag at the moment. The manifolds are roughly 42-45mm going to 54mm at the collectors, do you thin...

I haven't sorted the manifolds themselves but thinking about using the Ergen ones. Not sure what to do about the exhaust from there back, I don't want it too loud as its a convertible and I want to be able to cruise in it comfortably with the roof down, but it would be nice to hear the engine when y...

Guys, I'm on the blag, has anyone got a timing tool kit I could borrow/rent? I need to re time my m60 but thought I'd ask if someone had the kit before I buy one?
Cheers Chris.

Hi Guys, I'm almost finished collecting pieces for this conversion (finally!) i was just wondering what you have all done with regards to an Exhaust. i know the manifolds are a pain, but what have you used from there back? 325 center and back box or something else? What sort of size tubes? Also what...

Hi all, I'm struggling to get the sprocket off the crankshaft that drives the cams, is there any secret? I've tried soaking it in wd40, cooling the crankshaft and still the pulley took won't start and shift it. It's the last bit on my old block before I start rebuilding the new engine. Any ideas wou...

Yeah that'd be cool. Where about s in Portsmouth are you?

Cheers Chris.

Hi Adem, it certainly was. I'm just exploring my options. I'm going to be up in Portsmouth on Thursday, could I pop in for a quick chat?

Cheers Chris.

Thanks Penton. Ill send him a message.

Cheers Chris.

Jim I've got the ews remote antennae and chips etc, so that bits fine. More of an issue is the fact that its the can bus and Vanos engine and runs fly by wire throttle. So I'm thinking to turn it in to a 4.4litre m60. What do I need? Is it just the heads, bottom end ecu and throttle body? Am I right...

Hi all, I bought an m62tu at the weekend with a 6 speed box. Insight of checking with the owner and Bmw, who both said it was a non Vanos engine, it turned out it was! I bought it an way as I'd driven 200 miles for it, and it was a good price (cheaper than just the gearbox alone!). The engines only ...

Hi Guys, As the title really! I going to collect an engine and manual box from a 1998 540 m62 next Saturday morning. I just want to check exactly what I need from it. Obviously the ews ecu (white box mounted to the steering column?) antenna (around the key) and the chips from the two keys. The ecu f...

Hi guys sorry to take this thread a little further but I have a few questions about the can bus system. Is there an easy way to spot which cars have it and which don't? I'm going to look at a car on Saturday. If it does have it, can it be over come by swapping the ecu etc over? This will also remove...

Brainzy, I don't know how similar the electric hydraulic roof is to the electric one, but I'd suspect that the horse shoe is on an electric motor, the same as the electric roof. Try playing with the micro switches under the centre of the boot lid. I had my roof disconnected for a long time, and when...

I'll be looking for around standard to 30mm max! It's running e30 m3 suspension, with eibach springs and Boge shocks. More a comfortable quick cruiser than an out and out race car.

Cheers Chris.

Hi guys, I'm just about to order some mounts from 300mm.de mounts, I'm thinking long term ill try and fit an s62,but currently thinking an m60. So question is, is it worth getting the 10mm spacer or 20mm spacers?

Any advice would be great.
Cheers Chris.

So they all need to be from the same car then. I can see this being a major ball ache! Think I'll keep looking.

Cheers Chris.

Hi Guys, I've been looking at an m5, but the clocks and the ecus have been sold. Will a replacement ecu and ewes module get it working again or does it need the clocks too? Are the ecus coded to the car/engine? I know the ecu will need re flashing to work in the e30, but I want to hear it running be...

Am I right in saying you can still use the same engine mounts? I guess you just need to add the subframe spacers? Can I ask why you went with the m60? I'm sure I read somewhere that you had an s62 as well? Have you a pic of the manifolds you used? Just to get an idea as your pics have disappeared on...

Hi guys, I've been thinking about this conversion for a while now, but I'm un decided whether to go the m60/62 or s62! What are the real world differences in performance? Will I ever miss the extra 100bhp? It's going to go into a cab, so it's not a track car, but I don't want to fit an m60 and regre...

I'm currently running re 318 standard rad, but I'm just trying to collect some parts before I start tearing the car apart. I was thinking I'd run re e36 M3 rad as its a direct fit, but wondered if tere was a benefit to running the 535 rad to be honest.

Cheers Chris.

Can anyone tell me does the 535 rad just bolt straight in?

Cheers Chris

Hi Guys, I've got my complete kit up for sale, here http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=221575 this is the option 2 adapters, Brembo 4 pots, green stuff pads, and EBC discs, already modified for a bolt on change. will come supplied with brand new earls brake lines. Cost m...

Yeah, sorry I meant the starter. That makes sense, just thought I'd asked as he mentioned it that's all. Thought I'd double check. It seemed to good to be true....

Cheers Chris.

Hi guys, acer racer told me that if you put the alternator on the other side ie like they are in Germany you can use the x5 manifolds and just cut off the flange at the bottom and swing it round a touch. Can anyone confirm that is the case?
Cheers Chris.

You can also use the brake "bomb" from the old 6 series. This means you can leave the mater cylinder where it normally lives, and just out the bomb in behind the front head light. This is the route I prefer. Someone told me that you can use the prop from an e36 328 and it should fit straight in. Can...
