This weekend I will be removing my rear subframe to modify and install AKG bushes and serateted camber and toe adjusters. I will have my friend son weld the adjusters on. I also finish my AP brake kit.

I wanted to see how much camber I needed to clear from out side fender. I went under the to see how much room from tire to shock. I have a 13mm of clearance. That gives me good news I can clear away from out side fender. So The AP caliper are close to Hartge spokes. I still feel confident they will not rub.I finish up on the AP brakes on rear before I take the rear subframe off
to put on bushes and add adjusters.

I had my friend Maro come this to help me with the blk M car.
He diagnosed four problems on the m88/3 motor. The intake boots were cracked, the white relay to ecu was bad, the Nology 8mm were spark plug wire in bad shape after 20years and I had two injectors were not working. Maro tapped the with a screwdriver. He got them to work. I ordered a new set of injectors.

On Saturday and Sunday finally separated the the rear end apart. The bushes been on e30 for 37 years on. They were hard and cracked. I started to mock up camber plates to cut and weld on. I want to see how I need to modify. I decided to buy to buy new bearings and differential kit. I bought Condor diff metal plates to Weld on subframe. is it

We switched white relay with the red m car and Alpina project. The white relay was bad. The 20 year Nology plug wires were shooting sparks on side of tubes. Two injectors were sticking. I ordered three. On Monday I’m going to order the remainder three to install them at once. He noticed the intake m88/3 boots were leaking vacuum. I ordered new NKG plugs and burned off exist fuel off oxen, sencer. I will order a other set NGK spark plugs.
I didn’t drive it for at least 8 years.
When I drove in town I got thumbs up and my friends were happy to see it on the road. My friend Maro has two e30’s that he has not driven in years. He owns a 1987 325is and a 1985 325e. I’m trying to sort out black m car to give him a ride on some curvy roads to experience. He never been a modified e30. At this point he is stuck on mini Cooper’s.

I wired brush the rear subframe and control arms. I welded on serrated camber plates to add camber on my 2750-40-17 RA1’s.

glad you got the M88 car going again. nice work!

glad you got the M88 car going again. nice work!

Coming from you is great!

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.
