+1 for the uniroyal rainsport's
I have run rainsport 2's on my e30 for 3years, they are on my main 'daily' wheels and have seen best part of 15k miles still have loads of tread left, handle reliably and give plenty of grip in wet conditions.

Re: M30B35 conversion. How long should it take?
Awesome response guys :D . Thankyou. I was hoping that was the sort of timeframe expected for it. Gives me a bit of knowledge so I can know what sort of labour charge to be expecting getting my mechanic to do the job.

Re: M30B35 conversion. How long should it take?
Yes, if the parts are known to fit already, it would be a matter of 2-3 days work. I suppose you could even do it in one whole day if you were really dedicated/able, or had some good helpers. Yep all parts already in and working, exhaust has all clearances dealt with, rad and cooling system is all ...

Re: M30B35 conversion. How long should it take?
Having removed the M30B35 engine and box from an e34 535i, that took about 2 hours or so - the first time I'd ever removed a big six-pot lump. I think the trickiest bit is deciding the position of the engine, finding/making a suitable propshaft and sorting out the cooling and wiring to it, plus the...

Ok. So I have had an email from Todd this afternoon apologising for the missing items. Apparently the pallet was put together in a rush and he forgot them. He says they will be delivered shortly.

It all started so well........ I purchased an M30B35 conversion from Todd. When I first showed interest he was great, responded to all my messages promptly, sent me all the details and pictures I could have wanted. However....as soon as we did the deal and I paid, I heard nothing from him for 10days...

Ended up buying Uvels 316coupe this week.
Stunningly clean motor and he threw in loads of extra bits from his garage
Quality guy, totally straight up and truly cares for his motors.
