Bhups E30 M52!

[bhups]

Hi Guys,

I've had my E30 since feb this year. It was a stock 320i when I bought it and have some plans for her but taking it slow.

The first mod was a new heart, these old m20 engines didn't cut it for me.

It had its first outing at BMW Festival last sunday. Here are some pictures:





A new heart!



Sleeper!!!



Engine spec:

M52 24v 2.8
M52 gearbox
E36 328i prop
3.07 LSD
Kenlowe electric fan
New rad
Simota carbon induction
Custom exhaust system
M20 single mass flywheel
E36 steering rack

Big thanks to Dips @ CustomCars for doing the M52B28 engine conversion, Kos for detailing the car and to quote him "2 mop heads f*cked, 2 clay bars f*cked & 4 micro fibres f*cked!". More pics of the conversion and the detail will be up soon.

That's all I can think of for now, thanks for looking. Comments appreciated.

absoloute stunner !!! would love a ride in an e30 like this, love the overall appearance and look although center caps and a chrome kidney i think would really look so much better on that car being a sleeper, for that original classic look

whats the overall cost hitting at ?

awsome

you need an m50 intake manifold and throttle body.

Cheers mate, im after centre caps and with regards to the grills im going to keep them black as the car is shadowlined. So far the car owes me just under £3k.
