    My e30 24v project, 90

    My names randy- i bought one e30 back about a year ago, and since decided to buy another one to do a 24v swap on. here is my first one thats up for sale right now


    but anyway On to the new one.
    1990 325is black on grey.
    covered up
    black beauty
    the back
    kailine side skirts? the car was a one owner the lady said she bought it with these skirts on it. ive searched and didnt find any.
    clean un ripped grey sport seats, switching out the airbag wheel for my mtech1

    1995 m50tu
    other side
    cleaned up a bit
    oem bmw mounts, intake/ exhaust gaskets, thermostat, gromets, ngk plugs
    mess of a harness before sent out to dave markert for auto side delete, repin, intergrated oil level sensor, and m3 harness covers
    e34 oil pan, pickup, and dipstick tube and oil level sensor
    pile of parts that need to go back on the motor
    another awesome pile of crap that needs to go back on the motor
    oil pan and v/c gaskets
    gromet set
    thats all for now, have more to update tomorow
    Heres an update-

    Started putting some of the pile of parts back on the motor and cleaning them.





    Went with a metal water pump



    Switched out to metal thermostat housing w/ new thermostat and drilled a tiny hole in the top of it for easier bleeding



    Got a new idler pully the other one had a bad bearing



    Engine all dressed up minus the water pump pulley i just bought but havent put on yet e34 oil pan conversion done



    e36 mount arms on



    m20 coolant temp sensor for my car. hopefully the right one!



    Is this the right config for the temp sender (m20 sensor to the right)



    thats all for now, ordered the steel plate that covers the bellhousing and starter, 2 knock sensors, and a red label, still waiting to get my harness back from the conversion from markert motor works, also i finally got a MAF and intake boot :) cant wait its all coming together
    ok so here she is, not running yet but mounted up


    another angle



    this things a tight fit



    my sisters boyfriend giving me a hand



    thats all for now, more to come shortly!
    Havent upadated in a while so heres some pics!

    Heres the next update from today :)
    Got some seats for the e30, they were going to go in a buddys truck. sadly he flipped a car and died in 05, i inherited his seats. Thanks Jon RIP bud-



    Heres another shot of them



    So i finally got around to modifying my shift linkage to work and put my shifter back in the middle of my console check it!



    got my radiator hoses and fan squared away :)



    the exhaust on this swap is a really tight fit. the front manifold comes mm's away from the subframe and swaybar.



    Lets do this :)



    ready to rock and roll :evil:



    stock springs in the front slammed in the rear!



    Dusted em with some flat black for now to prevent flash rusting



    another pic



    Not to shabby



    bolted in the downpipes



    Seriously tight fit on that pipe



    THis is as far as i got with them, still going to run an x pipe to dual muffelers in the rear.



    a shot from the front, im trying to keep the pipes really tight to the floor since the car is slammed.



    Modified my trans x member



    my tool box is bigger than my car :)



    UNtil next time!


    Still havent washed it or lowered the left front.



    Haters can hate on the exhaust i made but if its for free its for me, i took these off a customers car because they said they were too loud and modified them to fit on here because im ballin on a budget. very fast and furious.



    A few buddies over like the smashed 1/4 on that e36? lol



    sold the bronzit car to my buddy rob, sad to see it leave but glad its going to a good home :)



    closer pic


    more to come soon, engine bay has come a long way and i still havent detailed the car yet :)

                Welcome aboard, Randy! Nice cars, both of `em.

                Why are you selling the first one?

                Also, what are you doing for your brake booster for the swap setup? I will tell you that I installed an E36 steering rack and an E36 M3 Shifter when I did my swap, and they were HUGE upgrades! HIGHLY recommended!

                      Still waiting on getting my harness back from markert motor works, hes also sending me knock sensors and the flywheel cover that goes between the bellhousing and the motor and some new m3 harness covers. i also ordered a red label ecu. as far as the booster im slotting the firewall to move it over a 1/2 inch. im trying to think if theres anything else im going to need to get this thing going.
