How many BMWs are in your E30?

[ELVA164]

I love how many parts on our cars can be "borrowed" from other chassis, and I've taken advantage of it on a number of (mostly minor) occasions.

E30 - Well, the car.
E28 - Steering wheel
E36 - Steering rack, fuel injectors
E60 - Shift lever
E82 - Floormats

How many models make up your car?

[2mAn]

E21- Transmission mounts with AKG Aluminum cups
E30 - The car which itself has 318, 325i, 318i parts
E34- Engine wiring harness, oil pan, dipstick
E36- OBD1 engine M50 manifolds
E36/7 - 97/98 Aluminum M52 Block

edit: I knew I should've chosen 5+ forgot about some stuff...

Shi-at!!!! I'm going to need to think about this. I might have to come back and edit a couple times.

Body: e30 cabrio
Body panels: e30 m3
Rear diff: e30 325e
Rear Suspension: e36/7 z3 m roadster
Engine: e39 m5
Transmission: e39 540i
Wheels: e36 alpina hard lines
Steering rack: 2.8l z3

That's all for now.

[rturbo 930]

It's mostly E30. It has a Z3 (E36) rack, E46 shift knob and tranny mounts, and E90 drop hats.

Oh goodness, almost nothing remains of my e30 other the the body.

Fun fact....the clutch pedal pad on your e30(the rubber part)....is the same part from a 1967 2002/1600/1500 vintage.....all the way to this day 2016. Same damn part.

100% pure e30. Down to the OE optioned BBS RS001 rims.

Heathens.

Not so much, the p/n may be the same, but the part is decidedly different. I discovered this when I last received an order from ECS.

2002:

E30:


I apparently lied when I voted, I forgot I have an E36 318ti differential, but that's all, I swear!

Shortly I suppose I'll have an E36 rack as well. So much for being a pure breed.

Great thread idea!

[24v e30]

+1 on the great thread idea

My last e30 was a bit of a frankencar.. e30, e34, e36, e46, e28, z3..

Current e30.. just an e36 radio and e46 shift knob for now

[Nick_S]

My E30- The car
Another E30- Trunk and hood (acquired over a year apart from two different people, from the same car....weird)
E36- Engine, some exhaust
E34- Oil pan, few engine bits, floor mats

Sort of on topic but I've had the same Momo shift knob since I was 17. It was in my old VW passat, SVT Focus, a Jeep and now my E30. Closing in on 31, it's got some sentimental value at this point.

[Das Delfin]

pretty much just m50 injectors

[McGyver]

Car: 1989 e30 Cabrio
Engine: m30b35 from a 1986 e32
ECU: Motronic 1.3 from e34
Radiator: 535i e28
Exhaust: e34+e30
Transmission: g265 from 1985 e28
Steering rack: z3
Front Suspension: e36 m3
Rear Suspension: 2.5L z3

Plus lots more, but those are the big things.

Klaus is just one, though I cast my vote for Lola - she's definitely over 5.

Interesting! Well, then it's the same from e21's and up I believe, no? That's interesting that they designed the part once, and said "Ya, we really can't make it any better" - and I kind of agree.
