Went to fit the rear section of the exhaust however when the seller said the exhaust system was bodged to get it to his house i thought it was the cable ties holding it up however the whole thing is an epic fail. Basically its a 2 piece system thats been made longer for what reason i have no idea :S its a right mess so i need to get the front section re done. i'am no welder and cannot afford hundreds of pounds worth of manifold etc so your opinions welcome here. As i dont know how to get round this. Ideally if someone has an"off the shelf" manifold down to a 2 piece system sat in the garage i will buy it :D

I expect plenty of critasim but i wont loose any enthusiasm :D

Oh well sell the interior and bits and bobs you will get some money out of it.

Will a 2 piece exhaust fit upto the current manifold and sit in the right place or does that need altering :D

You can easily mate a 325i system to M30 downpipes,

M30 downpipes are 50mm E30 325i system is 46mm so they slide in nice and tight.


Have you sorted the loom out yet? And where's the pics of these mounts? :)

awsome ive sent you a pm too as i'am after the speaker panels too

When removing you can cut around the heater box if you wish as long as its above where the centre console would go, it just lifts over the throttle pedal and there is one bit you have to cut right at the top where the pedal box is other than that comes out easy enough :D

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Whipped the engine loom out today.

Not sure whether to fix the loom with heatshrink and solder or to get another, not sure why the starter wire has been cut in about 3 places :mad:

It was a bastard getting the loom through the bulkhead but managed in the end.

this was the starter and fan control

Image

Removing loom
Image

Loom out

Image

Starter wire cut

Image

Image

Dont understand why all these have been cut and put back together but hey ho

Image

More starter wire chopping

Image


Can anyone tell me what this is suppose to be connected to? its brown and white and goes to injector loom?

Image

am i right in thinking these are normal on m30 converted cars?
Image

green and black wire ??? whats the suppose to connect to ?

Image

?????

Image

Is this normal ? aircon perhaps ?

Image

Bought a Danthe fan loom, and got a 324td washer bottle on the way from the dealers along with m3 battery tray wiring covers and lots of other odds and sodds

Ive also sorted a minty beige interior
