FrankM,
I just paypaled you..... Thanks for all your work on this, I cant wait to get the info.

I mailed it today. Should be getting to you soon!



So specific instructions: Just paypal me and write specific instructions on whether you would like a CD mailed to you or emailed to you. If you want it emailed to you, then you won't be able to take advantage of the wiring diagrams because they're like 16MB each and too large to email.

I have no problem at all mailing them.

Also, please review and provide comments/feedback on the thread.

All,

Due to the overwhelming questions (PM's, emails, and phone calls), I've decided to document the details of my entire E30 - M30 swap in one concise document.

This 65 page pdf document is the initial revision and will change as a result of future comments/questions. I currently do not have any snapshots of the document, but I've sold a couple copies already. This writeup will include (but not limited to) the following:

My contact information for supporting information
Background of M30
Cost writeups
Schematics
Pinouts
Pictures
Diagrams
Realoem Snapshots
Spreadsheets
Recommended vendor websites
Part numbers...etc.

I do not have stress calculations, CAD drawings, or any infomration about hooking up the air conditioning.

This writeup is mainly tailored to the 3rd generation M30, but I also speak in generalities to ALL M30's and all E30's. I have some information embedded regarding my turbo swap, but not much.

Rev B of this writeup will be $12 and can be paid via paypal.

I've decided to EMAIL the writeup once paypalled. It's much quicker and more convenient. The wiring diagrams are already built in to the writeup in the form of hyperlinks to websites.


For those who purchase the Swap Writeup, I really want some constructive criticism so that the next revision of the writeup can include more detailed information.

Thanks for looking, gentlemen.
