anyone still doing m30 swaps?

Around here, you can still pick up M30B35’s for fairly cheap from the yards. As said before, it’s the manual transmissions that are getting scarce. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

m5x is only cool if it's turbo.

i wish i still had the m30 but there's no off the shelf clutch that can hold power.

i am also glad the M50 trend is all but dead. long live the m20.

(18 year old me never ever thought i'd say that, yay for maturity)

Meh, it's just a little single cam. :P

^ just thinking about it
the m30 is so fkn king.
stock everything even headbolts it completely maxed a 60mil hx40 and the 66mil borg it totally spun the ceramic clutch at the same boost.
what a shame there isn't a twin disc for it. and it sounded so bad ass too. m50s sounds sweet if you like buzzy raspy shit.
where as the m20 i blew that up like 3 times probably making like maybe 400hp.

If you need a twin disc clutch you could run an S14 one?

eg. http://ttvracing.com/product/bmw-s14-m3/

or

or RHD make a flywheel to suit a generic 7.25" Tilton twin disc:

I wonder what mine will do once I order the final bits to assemble it tonight... poor e30 hasn't moved since 2010 but I finally got the money to finish the m30 swap hahaha

[lukeADE335i]

Did you get your car up and running? Mine fired first kick after the engine had sat under a tarp for 3 years back in 2012 when I did my swap.

Still ordering parts, can't find an s38 or m90 headgasket but nobody has goetze or elring.
