Do you mean an M30 engine in an E34 still - or in an E30?
I can help if you mean in an E30!

Hey Ed!
(Sorry to hi-jack your thread for a mo Tng21)
I'm liking the bracing from the inner wings to the strut tops - with the strut brace as well must really stiffen up the front end!
Liking the smoothed off front inner wheel arch tubs too!

Ok, here's mine.
Cam cover is metal, mine painted in two-pack, as is the inlet manifold. No problems with the paint yet, but early days!

It does stiffen it up. It needs all the help it can get being a cab.

:teehee:

I tried it like that to save weight, but in the end I found it worked a bit better with the top hose fitted!
