Okay, so I'm getting an S50 and Getrag 260 for my E30 soon. I need to pick up a flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate.
What motor should I use the flywheel, clutch, pp, etc. from? S50 or M20 starter?
Basically configure my engine-transmission connection, I'm confused and want to be sure I'm 100% right before I do anything in terms of parts purchases.

Hey guys, Im in the middle of wiring up my auto>5speed 24v swap. On my 91 325is there are 2 connections that go from the interior to the m20 harness through the glovebox. One connection is green/black and the other is black/red, black/violet. Since Im doing an M52 swap, I need to know where these wires would connect to the m50tu harness. I know that the green/black wire is for the automatic neutral safety switch. I do not know what the black/red, black/violet wires are for.
What do I need to splice to what? Please help! Im finally almost done with my swap!^M52B28^

So I have an 86 325ES with an M50. Ix booster, not sure which res, but the install was a total hack. Installing a 2002 res remotely - is there any better solution?
Secondly, I have an 89 coolant res, but there is no mounting stud on the fender. How are you supposed to mount it on early cars with no stud?

You can make a stud there to hold it or you can do a M42 rad and eliminate it all together.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

I did the majority of my harness wiring tonight (NV M50 into 89 E30) and I hooked up 13 wires. I made my own chart with colors, pin numbers, page numbers on the EMTs and all. I cross referenced this with AKG and matched them up. I was unsure about one thing. Oil Temp pin 19 on car side and X6031 pin 10 on engine side. What are these and how do I wire it?

As for coolant, ended up just fabricating an aluminum reservoir..... Mounted in tray behind passenger strut tower. Looks pretty trick ;)
