Have not posted for a while now..I was waiting for the right time!
I have been driving my 90' M40 316i for almost a year now and finally the time to post my plans for it has come
It has been almost 3 weeks since I left the car in a local BMW garage (Unfortunately cant do the labor myself considering the lack of knowledge space and time..).
The car will probably be finished next week, so here's what we have done.
-M50b25 Non Vanos from an 325i E36 paired to its original gearbox (around 170.000 KM), A/c delete
-5Lug swap all around using Rear E36 ti parts for the rear and E36 for the front.Whole suspension will be E36 (330ci E46 front brakes will be a future upgrade)
-Power steering rack from an E36.
-3.38 open 168mm (unfortunately) differential making a good combo considering the non overdrive E36 gearbox.
-E36 M3 LTW 17x7.5 front 17x8.5 replicas (
) on used 225/45/17 all around. Will upgrade on P zeros shortly.-Stock M50 headers with custom fabricated exhaust - Cat delete.
That's for now considering the mechanical parts..
Full alcantara headliner will be installed shortly after driving the car for a while. I have also managed to pair Uberkaro Antharazit front Sport seats from a cabrio as well rears from a Coupe with original uphostlery, just needs some refreshing.
Many pics will follow as long as the car is finished!!
