First E30, First motor swap. M50NV

[SkorcherX]

Well... Got it painted.

[SkorcherX]

Suspension stuff is on. Its not super low. but it sure feels better. I am waiting to get the car back from paint. I still haven't found black door cards, and I still haven't put he glove box back in. I will post pics when its back from paint.

Car will also likely be up for sale in June. Got a kid coming in a few weeks and I need my daily to accommodate her. (I have a crew cab pickup but that thing costs so much in gas, I would rather buy another car.)

I think I'm going to make the jump to an E39. If I sell this thing.

Did you get the suspension stuff on?

Just send a PM to StereoInstaller1. I'm sure he'll send it right over

thanks for that.

didn't realize it was a purchased thing and not something he built, I'm happy to support a forum member if they're selling them.

Keep the updates coming, I love seeing someone build a nice early model. Any plans for wheels?

[Pipes]

[cormier]

[seven-57]

Nooooo. Where are the rest of the updates? I love this build.

Finally worked on this thing again.

Got the carpet dyed.








Looks better in person. Cant wait to get it in the car.

I got the TNTAutoTuning.com E46 Key Fob Keyless entry unit working.

Keyless Entry Unit: http://tntautotuning.com/store/en/re...-z4-x3-x5.html

This still gets installed in the trunk and still pulls 12v from the antennae motor.

Twist the blue and the Yellow/black wire on the Keyless Unit together.
Car Wire - Keyless Wire - Function
Brown - Black - Ground
Red (Antennae) - Red - Powers the Unit
Green/Black - Yellow - Lock
Green/Purple - Brown - Unlock
Brown - Blue &Yellow/Black - Grounding for Units internal relays.

Here is an atrocious picture of it wired up:


I have not gotten it soldered together and cleaned up yet. My buddy came over and helped me get it sorted on a lunch break.

Here it is all cleaned up.

[SkorcherX]

Got some more work done. Stereo is in and plays. It;t like 95% done, a couple of little doodads to finish up.

My buddy working his ass off getting the wiring going.



Had to recover the rear shelf.



With no carpet we got to run all the speaker wire in the factory locations. Super Tidy.





Test fit.


And the hard work begins.






Sub is in.


Came in at a whopping 68.5 lbs.


All installed.






I forgot to take finished rear shelf pics before I put it back in the car. But you can kinda see it in the last pic.
