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

Thank for the tip. I’m not going to powder coat the subframe and control arm. I going to paint them.

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. :)

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.

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.

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.

nice work!! what did your buddy fix on the black car?

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 was able to drive my blk m car in town. I went to get gas station to top fuel tank. On thanksgiving my friends son gave my car a clean up.

[e30m3s54turbo]

I worked on my rear subframe and control arms. I tacked on reinforced on control arms. Wire brush the subframe and control arms to primer and paint.
I had my friend Maro come over to get the black m3 running correctly.

Still working on my red Barron rear end. I’m still ordering new parts for rear. I will post pic of up dates on it soon.
I did order new 8mm Nology plug wires. I put them on tonight. I will drain old coolant fluids tomorrow. I brought blue bmw recommend fluids.

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

[e30m3s54turbo]

After posting diff I realized I had the bushings up side down.

[e30m3s54turbo]

I been researching on rear subframe bushings. I was going to use AKG 95a subframe and red 75d controller arms. I wanted oem bmw solid diff bushings. I can’t find them. I recommend from by Ryan C to buy AKG. Im going to order this week blue 85a subframe and daul diff mounts.
I worked on removing the rear end suspension. I disconnected everything. I had a hick up on drive shaft. I will need to remove it this week this week.
