and are you sure that the sound is from the engine? personally i only changed the tensionner, i reused bolt and washer

people usually repalce the M42 tensionner by an M44 one, which have a little better design, I did it, nothing wrong with it, but can't tell if they're is improvement

There is a slight difference but its very small IIRC. slight difference? :eek: no so light if you put an E36 gearbox keeping the same diff ratio it's like using only the 4 first speed of the E36 gearbox... one of the best setup is M40/2/4 with E36 gearbox and 3,45 it's what i'm about to do on my 31...

i love your wheels! and your entire project. keep upadting this psot!

talking about E30 gearboxes they are all the same ratio for M40 and M42, but gearboxes from E36 are what you called "close ratio" as they have 5th gear with a 1:1 ratio (E30 ones have 1:1 ratio in 4th and 5th overdrive) so an e36 gearbox on your M40 or M42 powerded E30 is a good improvement, I'm act...

don't know, but according the fact i will use only front ones, i prefer to have BMW written on it, looks 1000 times better

my mate is going to see in the afternoon at the bmw dealer the price for the front set, cuz actually i only want front ones to prevent my door buying dirty, and also I have an Mtech Rear bumper so rear ones will not fit.

something i don't understand is that in REALOEM they show the same mud flaps, i mind with only BMW written on the rear ones not the front ones
don't know want i must think now

don't buy it..... let it to me

just kidding, looks ok, have some nice parts on it to

well i'm going to think about that a little more
thanks people

thank for the reply
I have seen the rust problem
flaps won't stay on the car all the time, cuz i want to use them more to prevent the side of the car being always durty on rainy days but i will take them off during summer

so blackrs2000custom you are happy with yours?
