I got offered one of these for free a couple of years ago, because I had no space I had to turn it down

Good luck with the project though - it would be lovely when done

M50 though not M30

On a budget, m30 is alot cheaper than a m50 atm

Post Wed Feb 04, 2009 5:07 pm

Fair enough! I was only saying that as it's what I've dont to my E30 - chances are if I'd stuck an M30 in it I would be raving about that

Post Wed Feb 04, 2009 5:15 pm

I've stuck a M30 in my cab

and done most of it myself, so luckily i sort of know what i'm doing on the mechanical and electrical side of things, plus i've already bought the engine mounts

That will certainly shift well, a little nose heavy maybe. I do like a nice e21

I love the big six mate, think its an easy engine to work on and cheap on parts, plus the torque in such a lightweight car
