Yeah she looks mint mate. Any plans?

Mine started off as a 318i (not as mint as that by the look of it), now its a 2.5 :D

What you studying at Cov? I graduated from Cov uni in 2005, doing car design. Spent over 4 years there.

Still got some mates up there. In fact I'm seeing them next wkend.

Getting some HIDs when i sell my omega, then some adjustable suspension and some nice deepdish wheels and see what happends from there. Need the diff welding soon aswell.

so is the engine bay the same size on all e30s? 4 and 6 pot? and is it easy to put a 325 engine and box in it?

Im doing motorsport engineering at cov

Yeah, although I did not do the conversion myself, I think it is easy for someone who knows how. Just make sure you also change things like the rear brakes to disks also, suspension, exhaust, box etc

If you have all the bits and know what you're doing I think you could do the conversion to a 6 pot in a wkend.

What year are you in? I have a mate doing that course but he's on his placement year in Huddersfield working for Cummins turbos. Don't spose you need to rent a room in Coventry by any chance coz I've got a house up there too, but one of the tenants recently moved out.
