It was a learning experience to learn from.
I been stuck getting the blk m car on the road. I have driven it for 33 miles on it with out dying on me. I’m having charging problems. I need to check ground wires and maybe add a couple more.

My fuel pump failed also but it didn't look as bad as yours. The pre-filter crumbled into dust. I'll be doing my rear subframe soon, good tip, I'll be sure to do my filler hose while it's out.Leave a comment:

When I was installing the subframe frame back with control arms on and differential. That’s when I noticed the hose had cracks on it. I ordered it right away. I didn’t want to take the rear off after using 4 floor jacks to install again. It was hard by myself. The two next two e30’s will have new hoses before up grade to suspension.
On the blk m car it 90% the internal fuel was toast.
i never had a pump go this bad in one of my e30’s.

I add the new rubber fuel hose to my car. It was a pain in ass to do with subframe on.
I was to able to get my blk m car to run 💯.Leave a comment:

I was able to put on the subframe and modify the serrated camber plates. I had to grind the out side serrated plates to fit. I was able to clear the rear inner fender by 14mm. Before it was going turn on inner fender. Remember the tire is a 275-40-17 Toyo RA1 tire. I was test fitting today. I still need to install ECS steel braided lines.Leave a comment:

Thank for the tip. I’m not going to powder coat the subframe and control arm. I going to paint them.Last edited by e30m3s54turbo; 12-28-2024, 08:52 AM.Leave a comment:

I hope to see the m88/3 in your m5. If I see a real set of euro m88/3 snake BMW Motorsport I will send you message on her or on facebook.
my S38 has the Dinan chip as it is, and it made a huge difference from stock.
mine is due for timing chain service, based on age, so when i pull it apart, i may install some different cams. the S38B35 is very neutered feeling, in comparison to an M88, which had hotter cams and different timing gears.
when i changed the engine in my M5, i tried installing a set of the eBay M88 headers, but they wouldn't fit at all - the flanges were completely warped. i may try and find a different set to install in the future. euro bumper conversion will be happening first. :)Leave a comment:

I know you have a e28 m5.
If you want to push power up.
I recommend a Dinan chip 293hp 299tq
open exhaust with Motorsport snake headers.
The BMW headers made a big difference in response and power!!!
I also noticed a difference in MSD ignition.
I also had installed 272 cams intake and exhaust. I wanted to install 280 cam for intake. I would have to remove head and have Vac MotorSport port and polish head plus install better valve springs to take the new cam.
I have plans to up grade the m88/3 in the future for N/A power from Vac Motorsport. I would love to see 420hp N/A.
I did install a Split Second mass air kit. I’m still ify about it. They claim withe up grades I did it should be at 320hp.
The engine rives to 7200 rpms on a 410lsd 2800lbs.
my friend Frank has a 1988 e24 M6. He said it doesn’t have the same power and handling of e30. He said the e28 5 series has a better handling than the e24.

don't make sure the trailing arm reinforcements don't rub the fuel filler hose before powder coating them.Leave a comment:
