Blunttech / Classic Daily S85 V10 E30 M3 Swap

[AndrewBird]

Gives no reference for the 135i Brembo's though??

the Fronts on the BMWp system are 338x26

They are listed under e82 only, which is odd.

Take a look at the RX-8 rotors.
They are available 322mmx24mm vented, and they have very close to the same shallow offset front rotor. Not sure on how far off the 135i calipers throw the centerline though.

FYI, this is a great resource for cross referencing brake parts:

Glad to see you getting your hands dirty Steve! Can't wait to see what happens with this beast.

Long time no update but moving ahead now. Steve from Blunttech flew in for a couple days to rip it all apart. On to some pictures....

On the new lift...pulling brake booster and hood.




Pulled front subframe and struts


Deep in thought


Rear Subframe down...which was a bitch.



The 135 brakes fit inside the 17" throwing stars. The 135 rotors are a bit to deep tho. Going to have to look for some different rotors.




Just random under body pictures.




Pulling more out of the engine bay


The standard in engine bay photo


asleep until tomorrow...

the engine in that vid seized not long after that vid was shot.
i finished installing another motor this weekend

Cringed

[blunttech]

yes,
there's a few pics of the problem in the thread.
after removing the sump, i could see the chain for the main oil pump had snapped. the engine came out of a burnt out m6, and was untested due to not enough electronics left in the m6.i think the previous owner had blown the motor, then set fire to it to claim the insurance money!
i get a lot of parts from the dismantler (fabdirect.com), and we agreed before the purchase that if there was a problem with the engine, that he would 'look after' me. which he did, i just had to collect another s85 from him:) and now this engine is running sweet.

Nice. Im an hour into your thread . I was supposed to leave but i cant lol

Ouch Do you know what the issue was?? Knowing the cost of the S85 that had to hurt

Jake you need to move to the west coast and establish a shop dedicated for insane swaps like this one, I'll be your first customer. Always great stuff, can't wait to see the finished product.
