Being the fantastic husband that I am I've bought the wife a 1990 325is tech 2 that needs a little work to get it to its deserved condition being her daily motor I'm having to do it over time which is fine. However I'm trying to find a semi local source for the door moulding clips the only ones I ca...

Yet another morning no sleepy so i trotted off down the garage again with a brew.
Mount cut out and air box in steering all back togethe,
just need a prop brake servo and manifold.

Tondeur

Your mental!

Aload of the bs wiring in the cab cut out(old stereo wires and carp) Not sure if we are going to fit a temp cone to replace the air box on testing or if i should cut the mount away and use the...

IT`S ALIVE!!! Last night pel came round and we did the wiring coolent hoses and a bit of tinkering. would turn over lovely and fire on easy start but no go. multi meter came out and no live to the fuel pump! bridged the fuel pump relay and got squirted in the face with fuel. still no go everything ...

Thanks guys I will have another look this afternoon. Very strange with the fuel pump not a connection issue as if I take the fuel pump relay and bridge the main 12v feed to the purple and green the pump buzzes up so what ever feed the switch on the relay clearly isn't or of corse the relay is capoot...

Would really appreciate a few pointers on this one did the wiring on the conversion tonight following this guide. http://www.e30zone.net/e30zonewiki/index.php/M5x_Looms the only wire i was unable to connect was pin 20 red yellow.

Big day tomorrow, if things go half well we should have the new heart running(with out exhaust manifold).

Still a benchmark in the project.
Cameras charged and ready to go.

Look in tomorrow!

Can I pick someone's brains please new centre bearing turned up today. Now admittedly ive only had 5 minutes to have a look but I can`t see a reasonable configuration of the prop. M50 engine and box mounted up pel bought a semi complete kit for the conversion and came with e36 2.5 front section. It ...

Up early this morning with the bug Managed to complete the gear-linkage buy combining the m40 and m50 linkage. Also got alot of the m40 wiring loom out and preped. Anyone got a solution for the top heater matrix pipe/hose only 2mm away from the inlet manifold. i might just loop it and not connect th...

could`nt agree more about sourcing all parts first its a big lump to be imobile.
Depending on your mechanicle ability i would allow 3-5 full days unless you have a full workshop with 2 post ramp ect in which case 2 days is optamistic but doable on a first go.

Tondeur

slow progress this week as we both have young families E36 slave cylinder fitted and E30 1.8 gearbox mount fitted up with E36 rubbers. I have my doubts about the clutch arm so i want to get the clutch bled up this weekend to test it or it will have to be replaced when we strip it for paint. also nee...

gunni would not say anything against you as you seem to be the kiddie on here but i don`t see why this would not bolt up to a RHD m50.
