I too would like to know about the oil filter mounting options. It seems the factory motor mount arm is integral to the oil lines...

[mark///m3]

Just wanted to give myself some inspiration....

I got my mounts and spacers from Garey today, they look great and I had them in a weeks time after payment!

I bolted them up and am now figuring out what to do about my oil filter mounting.




I am either going to adapt the old mount/oil passage to fit over the new arm or explore the idea of the remote mount plate from a m62. Any input on this one is appreciated.

Also I have noticed that most people delete the asc throttle body. Is there any harm into just not hooking it up and keeping it in place?

I hope to drop the engine in place by the end of the week just for some inspiration.

They got way bigger and now they are off in the woods. Hopefully they make it ok!

Mark - yeah sucks that you aren't nearby! Hey, how about just the door pulls, at the minimum I need the rears if they are the leather stitched/covered and not just the plastic kind.

I will check and let you know about the back handles. Garey makes a good point, if you need the whole panels I have shipped Greyhound a few times in the past with great luck. The only challenge is finding a big enough box. From quick glance last night these were very clean.

[bmwmech1]

Oh man I can't imagine what shipping would be across country.

Mark, ship them via Greyhound Freight... I had doors, bumper covers, etc shipped that way and it was not very expensive. If you're just shipping interior door panels, it should only be around $50-$75 to get them to Sac-town...

EWS isnt aligned.

Dont feel bad those things are junk!

Yeah that is true, the fuel pump relay is still going to need to be activated by the ews in this car.

Give me the door panels lol

A little motivation for you Mark... I got your mounts cut, prepped and welded before I left tonight. All they need is dressed and painted and they're ready. Once I get the aluminum stock in my hands, I'll get the spacers made up and then get it all packed up and ready to send off... hopefully by the end of the week!

Garey

Sweet! Maybe I can get the motor sitting in place next week and start working on my downpipes. My x5 headers came in yesterday. I just need to order my new steering joints.

I brought my donor car home today. It is super clean so hopefully I can make a couple bucks back on some of the parts. I figured I'd pop in my 404 dme to make sure it works before the car comes apart. It didn't start the car.... I wonder if because the e34 has ews inplace it wont start unless the ews unit is unplugged. Can somebody confirm this theory? Or possibly a bad dme. I want to figure this out soon since the dme is nearing the end of its 30 day warranty.

Here is the dme



Its a shame this cars life is over, its so clean
