e30 alpina replica

[jits123]

hi guys

im new here, im from Johannesburg, South Africa,

i own an e46 325Ci and an e30 325i,
i love the 325i to bits, its my first car, i got it in 2004
i prefer stock cars but eventually i could not resist,
the mods so far:
2.9 stroker motor, 535i dog leg box,
and then alpina cluster, mags, valve cover and badges- c2 2.7 and b6 2.8. i will use one of them.
I love love love ALPINA cars

im still trying to source more alpina parts.
ALPINA parts do not exist in SA, so far i bought everything on ebay and i fabricated the badges which i sell on ebay to fund this project.

how did you make the 535 dogleg (getrag 262) mate to the M20?

[jits123]

never fit it yet. my friend says i can just the 325i bell housing. if it does not work i will source something else

[kronus]

Ah, well, you'll have problems. The 325i bellhousing is 1 piece with half of the tranny case, unlike the 262 (which is a 3-piece case with a detachable bellhousing).

You will need a bellhousing from an '82 528e. see this: http://www.mye28.com/viewtopic.php?t=61367

So you are the guy that makes the badges, was going to grab one before I saw they were reps.

Some are still available but are pricey, I think 250 or so each.
