Hi!
As you probably have seen, I've been working on a basic servicing guide for e30 engines.....
I was wondering if anyone would be good enough to provide me with engine bay pictures so that I can annotate them (so folk can find where stuff is

)
Full credit will be given for the pics.
I currently have one of an m20, but its from an e34
really would like pics of the m10, m40, m42 please
thanks

Yes dude thats all correct! except that the ICV is under the strut bar like the on the M40 so its near the bulk head sitting on the inlet manifold.

u were merely testing it........it should be able to stay on the limiter for a good 10mins...LOL

Definately! OF course it should!
I've said it before, but I'll say it again. It's hard to not bounce it off the limiter the first time you are doing donuts.........from outside the car!

Need an S14?
Edited to say: DOH!!! The pic didn't upload immediately, I see you already have one and it's much better painted than mine!

I'm feeling a major case of engine bay jealousy.
My picture was of the breaker though, the driver is better it's got manifolds and everything but no where near as clean some on here.
Those bosch batteries really do get about

Never see it there on other pictures.
A late production change or something? (It's a '94)

Billgates' sport is manual I'm pretty sure!
Has cruise control too!
