Lovin it !!

Cheers

Is the output shaft on a M42 gearbox a couple of inches shorter than that on a M40 gearbox? 99% sure it is but just wanted to check.

Andy that is Fooking Fantastic!!!!!

Makes me want to go out and buy another!!!

Lovin it

That suede is flippin gorgeous mate.

Well cool.

The Black Bubble is nice too

Cheers EUN

Love it m8 - The colour & the Interior.

Bubble Leather Rocks

WOW

When you turn the engine over and it does not start can you take a spark plug out and see if it is wet with fuel? If they are bone dry like mine were then you will know you have a fueling problem (or not).

Many thanks again for your VERY kind comments.

Gromit: The interior is full leather - It is a Motorsport bubble leather interior, the centre parts on the seats are leather weave. It sounds a bit strange but hard to appreciate until you have seen one.

I may be forced into parting with my cab as I have just bought a new project and my garage is full. Does anybody have any idea what this may be worth. I've sunk in Ãƒ”šÃ‚£12k up to now ..... obviously I know I won't get all of that back. See: http://www.e30zone.co.uk/modules.php?name=Forums&file=vie...

nav786,

No rubbing problems at all

Still waiting for my Zorst coming from Germany but now just about complete. http://www.harleyfatboy.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/iS/drop01.jpg http://www.harleyfatboy.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/iS/drop02.jpg http://www.harleyfatboy.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/iS/drop05.jpg http://www.harleyfatboy.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/iS...

It's taken me about 3 months coz I've been at work most weekends.

You should be able to get it done in a weekend if you work at it full time and arnt waiting around for parts from the dealers.

Saying that I've got some sort of electrical problem I just can't seem to resolve.

Cheers

Andy

Pretty straightforward job but definitely easier if you have the donor car. Mine is now all swapped over, just canÃƒ”š't get the bugger started. You will need to swap: Engine Gear Box Engine Mounts Prop Shaft Engine wiring loom and ECU Exhaust Manifold and System Coil Pack and Coil Pack Brackets Air...

Yep Andrew, got the iS ECU and engine wiring harness from a 318iS which I am using for spares. I might take the engine harness back out and check all the connections. I'll need to find out what the pins are for that connect it to the main wiring harness.

Andrew,

Yep I have a Clifford ..... fitted it myself ... doesnt control the fuel pump thou.

gonna have to get the multi-meter out and start testing the loom

Hi Jon, Yep I remember you, good to hear from you m8. Been out to test the pump like you said. When I bridge the terminals on the relay there is nothing from the fuel pump and when I run a positive directly to the fuel pump I can hear the pump running ok. I was hoping the coil packs were ok coz each...

Just finished converting my engine from M40 to M42 but the bugger wonÃƒ”š't start. All cylinders are firing ok but I canÃƒ”š't hear the fuel pump priming when the ignition is turned on. However if I loosen the petrol pipe where it goes into the fuel injection block there appears to be pressure. I ha...

Cheers Bootyman

Nope havent done too much since the above pic. Just finished fitting an M42 iS motor but waiting for a zorst coming from Germany before I can test it.

That makes sence now.

Cheers

The M3 ones are smaller .... def won't fit unless you fill the wing and repaint.

Couple of things I was wondering about while doing my iS engine conversion: Can anyone tell me what the 3rd relay is used for, it was missing on my iS wiring loom and I wondered if I will need it. Also I have one plug remaining on the engine loom - anyone know what it's used for. http://www.harleyfa...

Absoulutely WOW !!!! An amazing master peice.

Bootyman ..... you are the Dady.

Well smart m8

Cheers guys I'll give em a try.

Ordered a twin pipe back box from a dealer in Germany.

Anyone know where I can purchase a new 318iS (M42) front pipe (none-Cat)?
Ãƒ”šÃ‚£220 from the stealers!! Mine looks like it will only last a few more hours

IÃƒ”š'm after some help again with my M40 to M42 engine conversion. This time it is to do with fuel. My car is a 1991, which had a M40 318i engine originally. There are 3 fuel pipes entering the engine bay Ãƒ”šÃ¢â‚¬”a a flow and a return and the third which goes in to some cylindrical thingy which I...

The gearbox must definitely be different on the 318i M40 engine compared to the 318iS M42 motor. The output shaft is a couple of inches longer.

Does this mean I need to change the propshaft too? Anyone know if there is a difference? How easy is the propshaft to remove?

Cool

Would be worth sourcing some secondhand genuine beemer skirts. They fit really well.

Cheers Simon M8
