Here's mine.
Notice I had to cut the body alittle cuz they're too long.
Too long as in get the shorter ones that are made for the e30.
I set it so stock hole location is right in the middle.





What I would do is just make it so the bottom of adjustment is where the stock hole is.
Because stock camber and toe is pretty crazy on a lowered e30 anyway.
and just see where it maxes on the positive side and cut it short there.

What kind of build are you aiming for?

Not sure at the moment. Was thinking about going with a 24 valve, if i dont go that route i would probably want an M30. What about you??

All my money goes into the 72 El Camino now. I'm kinda burn't out on changing things on the e30. It's been 16 years and alot of changes / parts swaps / 6 different sets of wheels / interior swap etc etc.

I want to do an m30 also, but my m20 runs so damn nice and it sounds sooooo good. I've been reluctant to take it out because of that

Yeah same here, the m20 thats in the car now is pretty healthy and runs smooth. But at point itll be swapped out. For now its just the urge for more power that gets to me.

Hey guys,

Anybody have any experience dealing with bmrparts.com I am looking to buy a longblock from them, I called and talked with them and the price seems really good. Just want to make sure people have not bought from them in the past and ended up with a disaster.

They don't have the best rep. I'm sure you can find threads somewhere.

FML, finding an s54 from a reputable place is becoming a real pia

[semaj4712]

And to make matters worse, turns out that bmrparts and bavengine are the same place, or atleast are trying to sell me the same motor lol

[semaj4712]

Ok so I am starting to get ahold on how this buying a used engine from recyclers works. So every time I call a shop or engine recycler they keep giving me the mileage and price that the previous guy gives me. And now I am noticing that if I search around online, I end up with that same motor, or specifically three depending on where I search online.

So my question is, where are these guys all getting that same motor, who actually has the motor and is there a way to purchase it directly from whomever has it rather than through a third party?

[MrBurgundy]

Have you hit up LKQ? I think they'd be one of the first companies to get their hands on a recycled motor.
