One of your members here named 'speedhop' is about the be M30'ized. Got the old 2.5 pulled out just the other day.
M30 from a 89' 735i (Rebuilt with new rings, bearings, reconditioned, polished and shot-peened rods, Polished and chamfered crankshaft, timing chain guides and tensioner, valve job, surface, etc..)
E28 535i 5 speed manual, stock clutch setup. All new seals, shift console bushings, etc..
Driveshaft appears to be a mystery driveshaft, big flange up front. Possibly mid 86 E30 325? Waiting to get the engine and trans in place so we can get it measured, shortened if needed and fully rebuilt and balanced.
E28 radiator?
Factory 325i wiring harness, someone told him it will work, we shall see. And the 535 Ecm.
Hoping to at least have this bitch shoved in and mounted this Saturday. It seems for so many people who have done this swap there is a wide variety of ways in which this setup works. Kinda making it up as we go. I will be happy when this one is done with.

It was nice meeting you two today. Keep us updated on the swap.

M10 on a M30
Hi fellow E30 lvr :D , well my car had an M10 engine so maby i could help on the wiring (having hooked it up my self) the only thing is that I used an automatic M30 Wiring harness which by the way started at the first try, but I dont really know if the manual and auto have the same colors. oh and one thing is for sure.. THE TEMP SENSOR FOR THE CLUSTER ON THE M30 DOESNT WORK ON THIS CONVERSION. be carefull u need to get the 1pin temp sensor from a 325 E30, i overheated my car, not to red line but did heat up 3|4 and the gauge said Blue cold. so anything ask. Hey, and the G240 from the M10 handles the M30?? cause I had that gearbox and sold it and really had a hard time finding a 260/6 in Honduras! I heard that combination before but how does it handle? ThanksLast edited by HandalE30; 02-11-2009, 12:27 AM.Leave a comment:

Im new to the site but working on a black 86' 325e to M30. Lots of work left to do but starting it none the less. Building a partial track car.
Location: Woodland, WA
91' M30B35
Port and Polish head
double valve springs
three angle valve job
not sure of the cam specs but thinking around a 290 duration
block is stock right now but i'm looking at a rebuild
maybe a stroker if it will give a power boost
I need a 5 speed transmission for it
The car is gutted but I still need a set of racing seats
Im looking for more horsepower but I want to stay N/A
I'm sure I will have questions!Leave a comment:
