Hey R3V
Real Quick about me: Been a Mechanic/Fabricator for about 20 years now
worked at Greyhound, Ford, Volvo, a few repair shops, Now Construction Equip Mechanic
Army Mechanic, I Mig & Tig etc... I have a turbo on every car in my driveway.
I just picked up a two owner 187,900 mile, auto trans, 4 door E30. Its got blue vinyl interior and no cracks in the dashboard. Got a shoebox in the trunk full of receipts and records, starting with the bill of sale from the dealership.
I have been reading up as much as possible on E30's, this is my second BMW. But I have had German cars, VW. Already got the bentley service manual.
I plan on swapping out the M20 in favor of M52TU w/ZF gear box(recently acquired on a trade) and possibly BOOST later on...
Hopefully I can find parts and KNOWLEDGEABLE help here..
Thanks
PS: I been doing A LOT of reading... but not sure what Diff to use.. I have seen 3.23, 3.25, 3.73, 4.10...ETC..
I'm thinking 2.79 or 2.93. I do a fair amount of highway driving but also the thought of 5th gear 170 is nice also
