E36 M3 guys first E30

[ClassicSkril]

Nothing special about E30 318's. The ///M is worth a lot more. '

Nice pickup for a beater. You will have a lot of fun in the snow.

e30>e36

[KamakaziX]

I love the style 5's on the ///M. Nice car.

[alpinee30m50]

Nice m, but the e30 needs more s50/2

[JustinE36]

type a's dont look good on 36's.
Welcome to r3v.

i had them laying around and decided to put them on, thought they looked better than the contours.

The button just right above the passenger window switch, is a,lock button to the windows, try replacing the window switches first before you change the motors.
The wiper motor will definitely will need to be replaced as well as the lock to the trunk and hood. I'll comeback for more when my phone charges...

oh and the cluster is easy, replace the worn out bulbs or the cell, the key hole needs a new set of locks dude. Good luck and welcome to R3V.

window lock buttons for a coupe? hmm, maybe my windows may have been locked and thats why the passenger window wouldnt go down, dont know but il check it out. thanks for all the other info also. looking forward to more

Thats a sexy little m42 you got there. Can't wait to see her all dolled up. I believe the hood latch can be adjusted a bit. The rear latch should probably just be replaced. Also, If you found rust there, check your weather stripping for leakage. I'd give her a tune up before checking for other issues. Usual spark plugs, wires, oil, fuel filter ect.... As far as the other items are concerned, time for replacement parts.

Good luck and nice e30.

will do

i love green bmw's so much.
boston green e36 m3's are one of the most beautiful bimmers.

Love the Bostongrun m3, and is it on Modena also? Sweet color combo! love the style 5's on the e36 too, very classy. Welcome.

thanks, but its fern green. fern>boston

Nice m, but the e30 needs more s50/2

ive been looking at swaps for the /m, if i pull the trigger next spring then the s52 will go to the e30


thanks for the welcome everyone, looking forward to more comments and help

Welcome, be ready to drop a couple dollhairs on that e30. But also be ready to enjoy it. That 318is isn't as peppy as your m3, but I think it might eventually sway you to the darkside. (Liking e30s more, not being gay). I just recently traded my e36 m for the 325is I have now, and I have no regrets. Also, I concur with the info that has been given to you thus far.

Thad.

id say garage the e30 and run that e36 as a winter beater... Nothing special about an e36 m.

Wow, I see e36's arent welcome on this forum :(... FWIW I sorely miss my e36 :/ But then again, I havent had the e30 long enough to judge it...


Welcome to R3V and nice e30 :)

[bimmer630]

stalling issue could be a crack in the intake boot between the afm and the throttle

Actually, nobody's welcome on r3v. The people who stay anyway are the regular members.

[cmybimmer]

Nice... Well now I know lol

[F34R]

When are you planning on swapping the engine from the e36 into the e30?

[JustinE36]

if i decide to do it and the money is available for me to, then sometime in spring or early summer

[kishg]

part the e36 into e30.

Welcome.

agree. the e30 looks better and with the e36 m drivetrain will be a killer combo..

welcome to r3v and the addiction.. once you have that 318 all fixed up, you won't be driving the M3 much i bet :)

[87_black_325is]

Even though e36's aren't my favorite, this is one clean m3. Nice car, enjoy the e30 too!

If somehow you were involved in an accident and your e36 was totaled, you could buy it back from insurance for next to nothing then swap everything into your e30. This is only hypothetical, so dont go getting any insurance scam ideas.

The greatest honor that could be bestowed on an e36 m3 is to be parted out for a alpine white e30. Ask me how I know!
