Hey Guys i have a few questions on this M30 swap we just got started on:
Just some background info we are currently pulling apart an an e34 535i donar car and getting it ready to drop into my mates E30 318i. The car is an automatic which we want to convert to manual so we need a manual box and and harness.
Manual gearboxes arne't easy to come by here in Australia but we found one in an e28 533i, will this work I'm thinking it would as the gearbox is coming out of an m30 so it should fit, what are your thoughts?
And also what are the physical differences in an 325e and 325i wiring harness we got our hands on a 325e harness for free, i've already read up that an i harness fits up to the e34 manual ecu just fine how about the e, is it exactly the same? We chose to go with a harness that come out of an E30 as its fits into the E30 chassis better with a more cleaner look and all the connections and clips are exactly the same as the one sitting in the e34. so again what are your thoughts?
I would hope to get a response as soon as possible as this conversion is going along very quickly and it will be verrrry helpful if the responses come in fast.
Thanks fellaz the sooner I can get this done the sooner I will post up the build timeline for all of you to enjoy. :-D
