    Car looks clean! Did you use G240 out of an early 318i ?

    What's your top speed in 1,2,3rd gears with 3.73 ?

    Motronic 1.3 conversion,
    M10 transmission,
    320i ´88 driveshaft,
    Spec Stage III M10 clutch,
    3.73 LSD ,

    Was an awesome plaything,

    I´m doing one right now for a guy.
    Here is the mod list .

    Suspension :
    THR CAB´s
    Koni shocks front
    Alko shocks in back
    KW thin wire race springs. 475/515lbs

    Wheels and tires :
    CR7 "17x8.5
    CR7 "17x9.5
    215/45-17
    245/35-17

    Drivetrain :
    BMW 320i manual driveshaft
    BMW 318i M10 transmission
    Spec Stage III 215mm clutch
    lightened M10 flywheel (6kg´s cirka)
    Shoftshifter

    Engine configuration :
    M90/M30 B35 call it what you want but it´s a short stroke 3.5 ´80
    ´91 B35 Cam
    ´91 Front timing wheel and sensor
    ´91 distributor setup
    ´94 M3 Variable TPS
    ´91 E32 Oil pan and pickup
    ´80 287cc B35 Injectors

    Oil Catch Tank setup.
    Custom Exhaust Dual "2.25 into a Stock E30 M3 rear muffler,
    E28 Radiator
    Electric fan
    Poly Motor mounts
    Head is completely reconditioned

    Engine management :
    XMS V3 Standalone
    Semi Sequental injection
    30 AMP Ignition amplifier feeding a stock coil,
    Wideband with closed loop options,
    Fuel is TPS vs RPM vs MAP.

    If everything turns out well it should crank out more then 230hp and hopefully 330nm´s,

              block is stock right now but i'm looking at a rebuild
              maybe a stroker if it will give a power boost

              I need a 5 speed transmission for it
              The car is gutted but I still need a set of racing seats
              Im looking for more horsepower but I want to stay N/A

                                Hi fellow E30 lvr :D , well my car had an M10 engine so maby i could help on the wiring (having hooked it up my self) the only thing is that I used an automatic M30 Wiring harness which by the way started at the first try, but I dont really know if the manual and auto have the same colors. oh and one thing is for sure.. THE TEMP SENSOR FOR THE CLUSTER ON THE M30 DOESNT WORK ON THIS CONVERSION. be carefull u need to get the 1pin temp sensor from a 325 E30, i overheated my car, not to red line but did heat up 3|4 and the gauge said Blue cold. so anything ask. Hey, and the G240 from the M10 handles the M30?? cause I had that gearbox and sold it and really had a hard time finding a 260/6 in Honduras! I heard that combination before but how does it handle? Thanks
