That sounds great. What intake manifold are you using, does it face out the other way like the SA 333i?

The intake is the same as for Alpina B 2.8, 3.5 and South Africa 333i.
On my 1984 Alpina B6 2.8 had the same intake.

This came in from Poland. It is a early e34 Alpina B10 Biturbo m30 valve cover. Alpina m30 valve cover was made for the m30. Alpina never made a m20.

How sensitive is the coil to heat? I am looking to relocate my coil to make room for the M30 airbox and eventual washer bottle.

I am not covering up my sexy valve cover! :)

I see you have your spark plug wires in a sheathing.. is it for heat or touch protection?

Do you know how the (of course you do) tuners relocated the coil?

It better to keep heat away from coil.

It is for heat protection from turbo heat.

What tuners? Are you asking about AC Schnitzer?

The tuners.. you know all those parts under your couch, behind the TV, in the coat closet. Alpina, Hartge and ACS primarily.

I found a really nice photo from Bimmer Forums with an engine bay shot of a 3.7 ACS M30. Granted that was an E34 S5 bay. I will see if I can mount it in a similar fashion. S5 bay. S3 body and interior.

Yes it is true about about my tuner stash....

I add some protection to oil feed return line and for front oil cooler lines.
I also chased my down my fried wire under dash.

I need a new master cylinder brake. I tried a few times to to bleed the brake system. The brakes feel to soft.
The shift rod clip must of come off or forgot to put it on. I ordered a other shift rod from ECS Tuning. I did get a chance to move it in it power. The clutch felt very aggressive. I like it how quick it engaged!!!

Still have more things to do.......

[TimeMachinE30]

How did you blerd it? I used a motul power bleeder at 10 or so PSI only to see I overcame the master cylinder seals. Ordered new ones.

Get one of them manual vacuum bleeders thats how Ive done mine. With braided ss lines it should be very stiff same with clutch.

My buddy Chris and I did it the old fashion way. What did you guys use and any links to buy one. I am going to order a new e32 750il master.
