Unfortunatly because i`ve got abs i`m having to use a cone filter.
So i`m stuck with the coolant valve.
What i want to know is what have other people done with theirs.
Apart from making a lar di dar tube the only answer i can think of is to cut the cone and bang the valve in the back of it.

I bypassed the throttle body and just left the bit that goes in the airbox tied up.

Did you get your prop sorted?

I plug the head outlet and use a bolt, PTFE tape and jubilee clip to blank the hose

I've got my original 320i prop on an m40 box at the mo, needed slightly lengthening at the splines from where it was for the 320i box but that was it.

When i put the 325 one on, the bearing bracket was a good two inches away from it`s locating holes.
My old haynes manual (815) says that the 320 used a less powerfull gearbox than the 325.So maybe a slightly shorter box with a little longer prop?
It`l all come out in the wash :)
