My daily '84 318i m30 swap

[E30_Pare]

M10s seem to be on the rise lately. Nice ride. Clean & simple. It may not be fast or brake at all, but I still love early 318s.

This is a jaded statement, but these cars have their "charm".

M10's are underrated and rare!!!
Do you notice a difference in handling between an m10 and m20 e30? I bet it has a great turn-in feel.

Lets see some engine bay pics. I like how it looks so small in the e30 engine bay like you can get to anything on it so easily. Looks cool and vintage.

why the need for fancy brakes when you can't go that fast?! haha at least in its 28 year old stock form.

turn in has gotten much better since I put in a rear sway and new springs.

I'll snap a pic of the engine bay this weekend.

I love all of your pics.

thanks! i paid too much. i was desperate for a car and it was my favorite of the 8 or 9 e30's i was scoping out at the time. it's all good, it's become mine and i've grown to love the m10 despite it's lack of power. simple to work on, parts are abundant and cheap. maybe one day when i pick up that 2002 i've always been eying the m10 experience will help me.

I was just asking cuz im trying to get rid of mine and im asking $1950. With a bumper tuck included!! haha

[glnr13]

I paid a little more than that. I should've talked him down but i left my low baller hat at home.

Amazing car! I love everything about it. Everything. Those wheels are available right from a dealer? I'm looking at replacing my konig remembers with something a tad wider.

Also, my car is an early 318 (84) and previous m10 car, I freaking loved the m10 and sometimes miss it. Unfortunately...it blew up lol. And is still sitting in my garage lol. I don't know what to do w/it and the trans.

Anywho, big thumbs up. Keep rocking the early 318s!! And the bumpers also double for a great place to eat your lunch, or perhaps you could mount a bench vice and make them work benchs Hehehe.

[A Sucked Orange]

I approve. Just push your bumpers in, it's free to do, and will make a huge difference.

fuck that! keep em just the way they are! love it!

When I bought my 84 318i 5 years ago it came with Enkei wheels , your car reminds me of mine when I first got it.

Your car was the shit with those enkies, even better than my car with them.

new to me interior and junkyard mtech1 steering wheel but i don't like it though. it looks sportier but it's the same size as the 4 spoke or at least feels the same to me.

DIY shift boot and ebrake boot. Ebrake boot is too short but the shift boot came out pretty good.



I followed this to try and get the horn to work but no go. It's just blaring on after installing the slip ring.

Love that color, and so jealous of your blue interior.

Car looks great!
