I’ve been driving my 87 M30B35 swapped sedan for a several months now without issue.
Nothing special just a 87 sedan with a M30B35 mated to a G240. Here is the build thread. (Lots of good info)
I live in Florida and it gets downright hot, so having A/C is a necessity. That and I plan on turning this car into a family car. One we can take on long road trips with the family. Our first child is due in 63 days so that’s the deadline. The car is super reliable with the swap, I’ve driven it over 6,000 miles without a single issue.
The car was originally a 87 325, which uses the same A/C compressor as a 535i, 635csi, 735i, and a e30 M3.
Today I took my car off the road to mock up the A/C compressor.
My M20 A/C compressor fits perfectly on the M30 compressor mount.
Don’t mind the filthy compressor, just using it for mock up. I plan on buying a new one.
With the M30 A/C bracket mounted to the block it became very obvious the pulley wouldn’t clear the radiator.
I’m using a e36 2 row radiator. Maybe a e28 535i radiator would give me more clearance.
