M50 swap in motion!!!!

[eko]

Just thought id post up my plans for this,bought last week from another zoner for a very good price-



Plans are to swap all the goodies from my 318is inc Hartge wheels,Bilsteins,sport leather,rear dics`s,Black headlining,Nardi wheel etc and then put the guts from this into it



Should be a tool when its done

Still got to sort a decent diff out yet and obviously a few other bits but good progress made in the first week!

Might be worth 6K when its done,seems to be the going rate for M50 E30`s (Only joking Steve )

Not so much bored,more `too used to it`

Anyone know if i can use the diff from a E28 525e?
Tried searching to no avail!

Tony, quality. What engine is in the 5 series, 2.5 valver?

Once you are done, get steve to do a valuation on it, you might be able to retire then.

Don't know about the diff

Yes Jon,its a 24v
Done some mega miles,but chatting with the owner it appears they have had quite a bit of engine work done in the last 30k and apparently runs sweet-thats good enought for me at 200 quid.
Hopefully make some money back on the tax/alloys etc so could work out to be a `bit ova bargain`

Hopefully should be collecting it on Wednesday so well see!

i think you can use an e28 diff if you change over the driveshaft cups from your e30 diff
