E30 Zone

Want to get my final list of parts together and ordered so I can get started in Jan.

I've gotten a good few of the part no I'll be needing there's a few missing maybe someone can fill in the blanks.

*325 Clutch - Sachs - non aircon from ecp 641110100 or 641110090 ??
*M50 Sump steel gasket BMW 11 13 1 437 237
*M50 Manifold profile gasket BMW 11 61 1 716 174
*E34 525 Bowden cable BMW 35 41 1 160 611
*E21 323? Release bearing BMW 21 51 1 204 525 <---- Is this correct?
Exhaust & manifold gaskets
Rocker cover gasket <---- will I need this if changing the inlet to m50?
Various serpentine belts

*Water pump (metal imperler) BMW 11 51 7 527 799 <---- ECP
*88 degree thermostat - I'm only seeing 92deg ones
*M50 metal thermostat housing <---- ECP
*E30 brown temp sensor 325 or iS

*Rubber propshaft coupling BMW 26 11 1 225 624
*Propshaft Bearing BMW 26 12 1 225 071 <-----Do I just need the bearing or also the mount?

E36 328/325 rad -Have an alloy one sourced
E30 M3 or e36 aircon electric fan - Should be getting this of a scrapper
Elect fan loom - as above
E36 318ti air-con fan temp switch <---- Anyone have a part no?


Will be using the iS box and think this is correct for rebuilding the shift mech:
*Shifting arm (320)
*Bearing slieve and bolt 25 11 7 519 669 & 25 11 1 221 849
*Straight selector rod 25 11 1 220 835
*Gear shift rod joint 25 11 7 501 309
*Dowel pin 23 41 1 466 134
*O-ring x2 25 11 1 221 243
*Spacer 25 11 1 220 199
*Circlip 07 11 9 932 863

Clio Servo - plastic winged Clio, 2001 up
Brake master cylinder - use standard? Anything better?

I think thats it and pretty much the complete list unless someone spots something missing?

I already have the following:
M20 starter & e21 323 flywheel
M3 Scorpion exhaust
3.64 LSD
Manifold + sump + TB + Dipsick
Rubber engine mounts
E34 UJ (x2)
Steering spline

Probably a good time to also do the clutch slave and master or am I going over board?

I know a 2001 shape clio is the plastic winged one, Brendan. SummerHill Spares (over in coolock) wouldn't be crazily far from you and should have a few in

I've used an m20 brown temp sensor and its fine!

Also e36 328 rad on mine, again fine

I've used a plastic winged clio servo around 99-00 ish with my e30 master cylinder, used an old manifold stud cut to 20mm inserted in the master piston then bolted to the servo

And I'm saying this to everyone cos I found out AFTER I bolted my box to the engine!!... A spiggot bearing for an m20 engine with 12mm diameter hole! I had to take appart again to fit this bloody piece then put back together!!

Is that this: Propshaft Bearing BMW 26 12 1 225 071 or have I got the wrong one?

M20 brown sensor it is

I'll give them a bell during the week Phil No car to pickup anything at the min though

I will have to have a rummage through my now book of bmw invoices for the part number mate but it sounds about right. Also different names for dif things... Heard people refer to them also as pilot bearings.
I will have a look tomoro unless someone beats me to it LOL

Just checked thats the wrong one, meant this one:

E30 323? Release bearing BMW 21 51 7 521 471 part 4 here: http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E30/2 ... ch/clutch/

You can use a 323 release bearing as far as I know.... I've used an m20b25 bearing! Seems to work alright man

Got offered a M3 rad so will need a expansion tank and plumbing for it. Anyone got pics of the tank and plumbing for me? So I know what i'm looking at.

Beware getting the Sachs clutch from ECP, when I went to pick mine up the guy at the couter gave me an LUK one, and said that that part number just refered to an OEM quality part which could be either. The website disagrees with him but thats what he said anyway.

I used the LUK in the end and it's been fine, grips the M50 nicely, but still...

OTTO do a Sach clutch kit for the 325 for 140+VAT Euro's, prob cheaper than ECP

If ya wanna ring them and find out if they have one there for ya i could pick it up and meet ya where i did for the fan coupling sometime next week if ya like

Phil: I might get one of DaveG. I'll keep intouch about it, hoping to have a car to take back next time I'm home, no rush yet anyway.

Yeah no worries, drop me a text or PM if ya want me topick one up for ya

Finally got all my parts priced up, hoping to order this week. Anyone spot anything at all mising for a m52b28 conversion and I mean anything at all?

What is the part number for the M20 Brown sensor?

I'll let you know when I have the bag in my hand over the weekend as I couldn't find out the number but I did get a price on it and ordered it.

Any luck with the part number?

You don't need the part number, just ask in bmw for a brown temp sensor for an e30. That's what I did, cost about £15 iirc

I haven't got my hands on all the parts yet, they got send to a mates house. You should get sorted though just asking for a e30 brown temp sensor

Even if using an e36 gearbox (with m20 fly and clutch)?

I was given the part number 62110788115 when I phoned BMW and asked for a brown temp sensor
