Mine are getting a little older and more independent now at 5 and 7. Praise the Jebus.

[Mr. Burns]

I thought you were selling the m30 swap?

It was for sale
There was a boosted s52 in town. Somebody got to it before I could so in the m30 goes

Just labeled, drained fluids, and removed hood today

[Mr. Burns]

What are your driveshaft plans? I used the Garagistic mounts with a Getrag g260/6, swapped the output flange, and it bolted up to my '85 323i driveshaft, which I believe is very close to the 325i length.

What position did you mount the engine with those mounts?

[Mr. Burns]

Lame update
Changed the oil in my M20 before I pull it this weekend.

I also took this pics

I'm sure yet, part of the laundry list of parts I still need to accumulate.
Might wait for a seta to hit the pnp, or will get it custom made at a fab shop.
Got all winter really to figure that out, it's the last of the "big" parts to aquire

This will be a good build

[Mr. Burns]

Heck ya! Let me know if you are in need of anything!

Thank you sir!
Following your swap as well

[Mr. Burns]

Niceee. Are you sure that's not an m10 tranny? Looks pretty short

No sir, just the pic makes it look a little stubby.
Pulled it from a m30 car myself

[garagistic]

[CorvallisBMW]
