Is that a M21 diesel? Looks quite tidy in the bay.

M51
Looks good, whats on at Stoke?
Also have you removed the condenser rad? No point cooling it if the air con has gone

Keep the aircon

Having the ali elbow at such a 90 degree angle will cause you turbulance on the intake Gem, see if you can have a gradual bend insted fitted, nothing with a sharp angle.

Good effort on this one, and I'm amazed that we haven't seen more diesel conversions on E30s - makes a lot of sense for those of us who use them daily...
