I looked there but the diagrams are awailable only for cars from year 87 and newer, can't find anythning for m20 with jetronic

Hey m8s, sorry for digging out this old thread, bud I need some help. My project 335 is on the move, need to get the wiring diagram for m30b35 (from e23 735 automatic '86) and for m20b20 with jetronic (from e20 320 manual '86) to combine them togather... or maybe some other useful info... Thanks Go...

take a look in www.e30.de, there should be useful information.

is looking good batch, that cam cover looks sweet ! thinking i might put an old style cam cover on mine now there's no inlet plumbing hanging over it. matt black :cool: I'll have to refurbish the cover because the paint comes off... Now i'm planning the brakes upgrade - i think that brakes from e38...

8) looks like sweet progress you are making...is that from an e28 or an e34 and what tranny, clutch are you putting in it? Engine came from e23, tranny from e28 535, clutch... i dunno - bought it from breakers... Got the flywheel lightened (about 50% off) and ballanced, clutch - stock, but in very ...

thanks 4 the advice :) But unfortunately i'm not planning to go to UK very soon. Fortunately I got the right rad today - not in a very good condition - it has a small leak, but still better than nothing for now. Later I'll try to find a better one. Here is the pic of the engine bay - still a lot of ...

The problem is that the rad from e28 i have is a bit different from others - it's a bit thicker - the plastic side parts are different - they are thicker. And it seems to be rather hard to get the right one. So i'm thinking about any alternatives - like the rad from e36 m50 or anything else. The gap...

Hi m8s! I've finally started the swap - the engine is almost in, steering rack from e36 already installed. Now i have a problem -what radiator to use? There is only ~5 cm (a bit less than 2") gap to put the radiator in... So what radiator should I use? The one from the e28 535 doesn't fit there, it'...

I suppose the center part of the splitties is the same size as for the 15", so to make it 16" the rim was modified.. actually not my favourite x-spokes but still lookin good

P.S. You lucky - you don't have all the winter snow and salt on the roads...

thanx

Can I please have a pm with where did you buy them too?

Thanks

1982 is on the changeover from jetronic (i think) to motronic with 635s. if it;s jetronic forget it, way too old and the inlet plenum is the wrong shape. if the 635 is auto forget it too. assuming it's motronic, these older gen engines have motronic speed/reference sensors on the gearbox bellhousin...

Tnx a lot

Interesting. Maybe someone can help me find some pics of it?

One day on topgear i saw Clarkson mentioning some valve in exhaust that opens when you press throttle hard, something like this is uset in aston martins. They say that when it's closed the car is normally quiet, but when it opens you can hear the roar even 2 miles away

Tnx. Isn't it too loud?

I made my exhaust from scratch, it's not all that bad really :D So maybe you can answer my question what to do: make 2 pipes of ~stock diameter or (it's much easier) make one but bigger pipe where two pipes from exhaust manifold come togather? Something like stock e30 320 exhaust only bigger diamet...

i used a standard 325 system ( for now )

Job done

I won't get m3 exhaust because we have no e30 m3 in latvia, not even one. So the only way is to make it from scratch or modify some stock exhaust. I'm looking 4ward to making one from a scratch.

I've posted a PM to toby but he has disapeared somewhere so maybo someone else can help me? I cannot decide weather to use 2 smaller diameter exhaust pipes on my 335-to-be or just not mess with it and make a single pipe bigger diameter exhaust? Let's say the area of crossection of the two pipes coul...

m60b40 weights about 212kg but m20 around 175, and m30b35 215kg. So there is a difference between the weight of m20 and m60

pardon my ignorance but whats a Baurs Style, cos to me that looks like a cab with an MTech2 kit on and nice wheels, car looks nice btw! :D Baur is a bit different cab - it has doors like a coupe (with frame around the glass), only the roof is removable, and it's removable in 2 parts. Originally bau...

v12 rightness

I disagree with you, m60/m64 engines i suppose were much better and much more reliable than m70 v12. And it only puts out 8hp more than the 4.0 litre v8.

Maybe with four really fat guys in there

Actually dunno, because I don't understand a word in Estonian, it's completely different from Latvian.

Here is the tech info on that biturbo v8. It's in estonian language, i don't understand a word too.
http://www.hot.ee/mdslankora/tutvustus.htm

Found some info about the e34 540 biturbo i mentioned some posts ago:
It has 492 hp, 680 nm of torque, does 1/4 mile in 12,04 seconds and does 267km/h in one mile from standing start. Dunno if the power is on wheels or on flywheel, soon i'll find out - chatting to the friend of the owner at the mo.

If I were you i'd be looking 4ward to changing the engine to m30b35, the swap has a very good power-to-cash ratio

In estonia one guy has a bit modified e34 540i - he has fitted twin turbo on it. Cant call the numbers of power/torque, but in 1 mile top speed race he beat porsches and i suppose even ferraris. I'll try to find out something more about his car

Haven't you got that engine fitted yet ! winkeye :lol: er.... no. I hope soon the project's gonna move on a bit faster, although i don't hurry with it, anyway I won't get the car out on the streets till april - don't want to drive it in the winter - here roads are being salted, so cars get rusty ve...

Love the rims and the lowering, but in my opiniot that tape-modding looks cheap and shite - somthing like a classic rice tuning

P.S. I'm also into the vee-dub, can you tell me website to look in?

Here are pics of lightened flywheel http://fotki.lv/fotki/all/4/322/32144/90928/1345160040644.jpg And installed oil pan from late m30 http://fotki.lv/fotki/all/4/322/32144/90928/1345160297790.jpg Took off about 35-40% off flywheel's weight, but as most of it was far from center from inertial point t...

Hi.My name is Sotiris and i am from greece.I have a bmw e30 m40 '88 316.I am thinking to change engine.But i cant decide.Which one is better?Which is cheaper?Is it worth to bring a full car from german to greece or should i check to find here? Very difficult question if its worth or not. Every coun...

unless the pump is broken you can just swap the pickup and sump, and leave the pump and chain well alone m8 that's what i did. only a few 10mm bolts to remove the pickup, 2 minute job :wink: i've had mine running with just the auto ring gear on it m8 (under 2kg) and the response was better but not ...

why didn't you use the e28 oil pump and chain and just change the pickup? are you sure you're flywheel isn't going to break? :eek: normal flywheel is fine to be honest mate. the clutch parts are pretty heavy and so the weight of the flywheel isn't as significant as you'd think What refers to the oi...
