    Hey Guys, new to the Forum!

    Hello all,
    I'm new to the forum but not new to the BMW Communtity. I have been a member at BF.c for a while and have always meant to become a member here. I recently made a purchase tho that greatly increased my need to become a member.

    On Saturday I purchased an M30B35 out of a 1987 635csi Auto. I begining to gather all the components to sway this into my E30 and i have heard this is the best place for advice, help, and DIY's.

    I don't mean to start of immediatly with the questions but I don't want to waste any time. I have searched around the forums, exspecially in this swap section (which is just awesome) and gathered alot of information. Curently I'm just wondering a few things.

    1. Does anyone have a 5 speed for sale?
    2. Does anyone have mounts for sale for the 3rd mounting position? which is the farthest back correct?
    3. Also this is gonna sound like a noob question but i am really just an E30 guy. I was looking at the harness that came with the motor i picked up. Its still attached but it has me very confused. I know where it connects to the ECU and to the motor, starter, etc, but i can't find where it links to the fuse block??? Am I missing something here?
    4. fourth and final for now, I am swapping into an 85 which is pre-connector at the fuse block. Has anyone done this and can you give me any pointers/ advice on how to handle the wiring?

    Well i hope this wasn't to long and i really thank anyone who can help me out! I look forward to be part of this forum, it seems like a really great community!

    Thanks guys!



    also here are some pictures of my baby, hope you like them!
