My 3.5 M30 project so far

[mincedbeef]

Its taken about a month or so to get this far, just been cleaning things up and painting, Replacing old parts with new. As long as all goes well its going into my cab this weekend. Took a while trying to source the parts needed but still looking out for a prop.


My bargain doner car. A sweet ebay purchase of £177 with 1 owner from new full bmw sevice history and a new complete head. I drove it about for a few weeks untill the tax ran out.

i love the brutal panel chopping on the E32. just like i did! i lifted the engine off the mounts and rolled the car backwards (minus bumper, smam panel, front panel etc!!!!)

That's it mate! Just let the grinder do its job and it makes life so much easier.

Just wanted it looking a bit different.
I did have alpinas on there but just got bored as everyone has them.

Engine should be going in saturday/sunday if all goes well.

Keep the wheels... Looks spot on.

[mincedbeef]

I think so too

Cheers mate

I reckon some spacers would have it looking absolutely spot-on - especially on the back wheels

Now that sounds like a plan, will definately sit better!!

RS8's don't cut it for me IMO....if you were from my home town...you'd have them off in no time....their on corsa's, saxo's, golf's, and every other hatch you can imagine.... i sure wouldn't want to be associated with that croud...!!!

hat's off to you for trying something different though!!!

Engine looks stunning...when's it going in???

You car looks a real minter aswell...

[elliott]

seriously thinking of doing this to mine (325 sport)
how easy is it?
and what parts are needed to be changed?
cheers?

your best bet is to do a search for "M30" in this section. i outlined the basics here a while ago.

essentially it's not hard, just time consuming. the tough bit is tracking down all the parts you need to do the job right (manuals are rarer so tougher to find, m3 or custom prop, m3 or custom exhaust etc).

nice car fella i like the wheels looks proper low at the back. How much is it dropped?

[m-dtech]

still got the exhaust off the 7 series ?? i need one lol
