1990 325i Touring S50 Swap Thread

Any advice on the issues I'm having? So close to being done!

When you hold the clutch down does it slowly engage? I would re-bleed everything. Try reverse bleeding the clutch.

Does the driveshaft have the damper on it still? you'll need to remove it if it does. If not try a shorter shifter.

It doesn't really slowly engage. Its more like it Alllllmost engages. The transmission will pop into gear but it takes a while.

The car has a z3 shifter, so that should be pretty short right?

I am not sure if the damper is still on it. Is there another name for the damper?

Any other comments or advice?
Thanks guys!

Done!

Omg! Finally drivable.

I didn't expect the car to be this fun and raw. It's a beast!

Only issue I'm having is a vibration when off the throttle. Seems to be coming from somewhere under the shifter as can be pretty intense. Little to no vibration when on the throttle.


All in all- wow.

My mechanic took it out last night on the highway and told me he was hanging with a Shelby cobra for a bit before it very slowly pulled away. I would have loved to see that. He said the look on the cobra owners face (and his passenger) was priceless.

The 4.10 rear end is bonkers (especially in the rain). Going to change that shortly.

Thanks for everyone's help!
