questions about an M30...

[bimmer_E30]

ok i found a 528e manual radiator and manual trans ... both look good. but i dont know about the miles ... would this work with my 325e??? i am getting a M30B35 soon. also my freind told me that i can use my eta trans??? also what about the wiring harness???

[E30SPDFRK]

Transmission wont work, harness might depending on the year, and not sure about the radiator.

[RickSloan]

Trans won't work, Rad Won't work, and the harness from an M20B25 would work but not your m20B27 harness

[bimmer_E30]

holly shit... then what kind of trans and radiator do i need???

[speedhop]

A g265, g260.6, or a g280 and e28 535 rad. Get a late model 325i harness.

i know i am newb ..but g260 os the same one that i have ???? (325e 5sp)

[RickSloan]

they both have G260 but they are not the same trans, one is for the M20 and one for the M30. where it bolts to the bell houseing is different on the M30 also there are other differences so it wont work...

That's what my ".6" was to denote. As stated, one 260 is for the small six and the other is for the big six.

finally got to drive mine today after working out some cooling issues... and yes it was worth every minute

[bimmer_E30]

damn i really want an M30.... how is the traction???

[RickSloan]

well im running 215's right now and it seems pretty good, but it will break when ever you want it to! I havent had a chance to really test it out cause i have just about no exhaust so its insanely loud!

[bimmer_E30]

nah, you need all parts out of a 535i, including radiator, and trans. Depending on what year and model your eta is, you may be able to use your factory driveshaft and shift linkage...
