BMW E30 M-Tech Cabrio (M-tech2, BBS RS, M30 etc etc..)

is that an m62tu? sounds like a chain, maybe a bad vanos.

It's M60, the rattling noise is coming from lifters on righthandside. New lifters cost about the double of the cost of "new" engine so i think i'll have to search one..

Here's a pic of the new look:

Thanks.

Yes my rims are 17", 34-bolt pattern.

Here's a video of the cabrio. As you can hear, there's still some problems with the engine which i haven't yet cleared. Drove it for ~100km, and damn it feels good :).
The rattling noise doesn't come from gearbox, all the chain tensioners are new. Also main bearings seem to be in good condition. Might be hydraulic lifters, not sure though..

I've been busy doing all kind of other things so the cabrio isn't finished yet, actually quite far from it but after i get the rattling-issue solved i've whole winter time to finalize it for next summer..

how in earth did you get a set of 17" RS's? are they redrills? also are the wheels running the "smaller" 17" centres? 34 bolt 12.25" diameter or are they wheels full 17"?

I love the wheels...
