It might be too late, it looks like they have already being serving your morsels ........

What colour was your M3 convertible and why did you decide to ruin/ frag a decent car to create your frankenstein bodge fest ?

guys any one with a e34 525 oil pick up pipe i guess mine was modded and made too low on the sump will this cause oil starvation ?

Post Fri Dec 30, 2011 4:20 pm

it was artic silver and i wanted ae30s50 . dude do you think if i had an idea this would happen i would have done that ?

Post Fri Dec 30, 2011 4:25 pm

how much oil do you guys put in the e30s5ob30 engines to ensure no starvation occurs ?

Post Fri Dec 30, 2011 4:37 pm

The E34 sump takes about 7 litres of oil

Post Fri Dec 30, 2011 5:04 pm

God knows whats happened with the brakes or coolant pipework but its not likely to be any good looking at the above pics.
Basically, as has been said previous, it looks like you will need at least £3k to get it to a 'basic' acceptable standard

Also.... i cant see any signs of a oil cooler, the engine looks to be mounted to far forward and the brake fluid reservoir looks like its resting on the inlet plenum. God only knows what box/prop/diff combo you have got. The sump also needs to come off to check what they have been up to in there.

i remember the knobber that did mine had wired some of the lives from the loom to a thin permanent live on the alarm.
driving along one day minding my own business when smoke started billowing from under the dash and the car cut out at 70..... obviously several of the wires had melted together but no serious damage done.
my how me and the auto spark laughed as he inspected it ......

That VW Camper they depicture isn't exactly what I'd call 'Jank' - half decently restored with some T-Cut, it would be worth a tidy pile!

Post Fri Dec 30, 2011 10:26 pm

To be fair, the oil filter problem could have occurred at any time.

What mileage had the engine done, and what timescale did the 'specialists' have to do the conversion?

Frankly, trusting people to do such a specialist job at this time of year when most folk are concentrating on eating, drinking and being merry is asking for trouble, imho.

FACT , if the sorry bodge up that is your E30 is the best they can do after you GAVE them a complete good M3 convertible AND 3k, their M50 conversions will be anything but amazing !

The plot thickens.

Id say this 'lob in' conversion has taken less than a week, and when i say week i mean 5 days.

Post Fri Dec 30, 2011 11:45 pm

it may even have been done in a weekend ! a drinking one that is this can never go on a track ! im thinking of salvaging something out it not sure but will have to stump up about 4k to get it going ok like clenching my teeth and buying a m3 e46 coupe , not sure what to do with this though,
