E36 Compact is what you need. Very common 5 stud conversion.

I think your a bit mad to leave the sump guard off with it this low. I would rather hit my sump guard on everything rather than hit my sump on something once. I cracked my sump twice before I got my sump guard, wouldn't go anywhere without it now.

Hello All, Wondering if someone can send me a good .bin file for a M42 engine. Will look out the ECU number later if its required... but from memory its a 175. I've used a .bin file off TunerPro's website but it has loads of maps within it, 3-4 for fuel and also for ignition plus idle control and WO...

Found one!

This add actully gives me the measurements!

Hello All, I'm in need of a new propshaft rubber joint. All I can find are too big. The same size used on E36's which are no good to me! eBay, Euro car parts etc all the same... Real OEM brings up a joint which I believe is too big also. Has anyone got one that they can post really fast to me or kno...

Didnt last long.... No one there when i got there, anyway had a great day and met afew old friends too followed by a short pub crawl. Minimayhem81- are you sure you met me... Im driving a white K plate 325i cabby with the borbet bs. Ahh maybe not think it was aze30. Was a good meet, but we were the...

Spotted at snetterton circuit.... I was packing up from the track day session and saw this going out for the evening session

.

Maybe I'll have alook

Not that I can see...

I currently use the DTAwin software.

How would I use this on my DtA? The file type it opens are .MAP files...

Yeah I have the current ECU I can open this up if needed, but I can't confirm this is the original ECU for this engine would it make any difference? ( idles like a turd at the moment so could be?) I don't mind if it runs badly as I will tune this out eventually as I'm converting this to throttle bod...

Bit of a long shot but has anyone go a basic start map or values I can use to get my M42 running on my old DTA ecu?

Thanks Neil

That's cool!

I would have come but I was home for Easter.

Noo! Not tomorrow! I can't come

Let's see peoples Easter Sunday photos!

Here's mine complete with broken splitter

I fitted heated seats to my 325i still on the standard alternator no problem at all Maybe thats because you started with a 325i? .... Better alternator to start off with? I've already fitted heated seats last year. My battery always goes flat... like within 2 days I think my alternators excite must...

Cool, thanks... I'll have good read later. Which models had the 95amp alternator? If from an M20 could I fit this to an M42?

Hello, did e30's with heated seats as standard come bit bigger alternators?

If so what amps were they or does anyone know a good upgrade todo?

Cheers

Neil

I'll come if there's one near coventry, leamington, rugby or something....

I have one!

Hey!

Yeah havent updated this for ages.

Yeah my bother and I race and dad looks after a total of 6 cars.

Been looking at the wheels looks like its going to be tight, but we will worry about that when I have the 5 stud kit on haha.

I have Helix paddle clutches which I plan to use for my turbo M42. Investigating lightened flywheels it looks far easier to lighten an M20 flywheel compared to an M40/42.... Been as I have been given these padle clutches I would like to use them instead of having to buy my own which would fit an M20...

Randomly found this... its truly amazing.

Sounds like another going for the 'stanced' look.... Just a word of warning you will get slated on here if I'm correct....

Your welcome to use any of my photos... Or any of mine you can find :) http://i1303.photobucket.com/albums/ag155/Minimayhem81/BMW%20E30/7ebac6465ba5fd307fa3a49937aeb8fc_zps763fa47a.jpg http://i1303.photobucket.com/albums/ag155/Minimayhem81/BMW%20E30/f71256cd0cbe03b0f6446dbe1f739145_zps4c011b64.jpg h...

No I just tackled it as I came to it, their construction is very simple really. I had a mate to help me, some bits can be hard to get back together from memory

but if there is a seat repair guide I guess follow that!

Hello!

I did this a while ago. It's amazing we'll worth doing!

Here's a link to my thread.
