I think mounting on the M3 cover is cleaner. Thats just me thoughYour signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

Its too tight against the firewall to unscrew sometimes is my gripe. It is alot easier to put it there and not have to deal with the extra bracket.

Put rags in the block, and just bend the bracket back and forth, it will snap clean and not affect the cap bolts or make a mess of shavings.
Done it this way 5 times and counting.Originally posted by 325Projectzdon't listen to the diagram... listen to mr. swiss.

Concerning the CSB on a e36 drive shaft.. Oem say that the rubber mounting has a collared extension - this MUST face the shaft (rather than the spline) end.
Is it true that I must go against their directions and do the opposite? Basically to mount it backwards would be the that collared extension will with face the spline?

I posted that pic in some other thread. On E36 driveshafts you put the CSB on backwards in relation to how it mounts on an E30 shaft. The biggest thing is making sure the DS is straight from Diff to trans.

I hope this is an acceptable area to ask this question. But, I'm helping a friend swap an S52 into his 90 model E30. We're planning to keep OBDII. He bought the AKG adaptor, primarily out of convenience, but I'm not convinced it's going to work. He did speak with the owner at AKG before purchasing and was told it would work. But, my friend also said the owner's accent made the conversation difficult.
Does anyone have any direct experience with using the AKG adaptor and keeping OBDII? Thanks!

I would have him call AKG again and check with them to be sure.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.
