[Jean]

Dooooont. too much work LOL.

[GOOBER]

That's sweet Jean. Good work! I'm thinking about buying an early 318i just to do the swap on.

[Wh33lhop]

Awesome. Post up some vids, I wanna see this sucker in action.

Very nice, turbo time!

The rear valance I thought was a SCAM, guy listed his location as FL but then I found out he was in DOMINICAN REPUBLIC and it came in 3 days! There isn't a secret, just browse ebay.de and co.uk and ask questions. A couple times I tried to get some Startec lights or m-tech sideskirts from .de guy and all I got was "NEIN". Maybe my german wasn't good enough lol.

Can you educate me about this scoring cheap stuff from europe? There are some things that I would like :D

Yeah, educate me as well.

FWIW I used the m20 power steering pump and it worked fine, just had to fab a bracket.

The car looks great, you should go full mtech 1 though, that would be sex.

kronus - m30 power steering pump. transfer the little adapter (threaded piece that the power steering hose connects to from the m10 pump). Low pressure hose needs to be longer, so buy 2ft of power steering hose. Engine came out of a loaded 735i with electronic throttle body, it had the fitting for the booster but lacked 2nd (one is for fpr) small nozzle on the bottom of the intake for the intake boot/tb vacuum line. easy way to go is to grab another e32/e34 manifold.

lot of euro bumpered m30 cars coming together in Cali ATM.

[kronus]

Good stuff.

I continue with persistently annoying questions:
What did you do for power steering? M30 pump? what lines?

Did the car you took the M30 out of have a vacuum booster? We realised yesterday that mine does not, and thus I don't have a handy place to connect the vacuum line. (although I do have that tiny nipple on the bottom of the intake mani... is that what you used?)

[N2MYE30]

Thats a sweet motor you got there.

[rThor432]

Good looking so far. That's a nice early model you've got there. And the engine looks mint (yes, I saw that it is rebuilt). Looks great in the engine bay.

[JJe30]

Looks good.

[Jean]

I have to re-learn the car all over again. Before it was pretty much a keep the throttle floored even while turning etc...now it's way different and it's like driving a totally different car. Easy to get in trouble for sure if you aren't careful.

[oldskool3]

Looks great!! How are you liking the m30?
