M52/Zf Alpine White 1986 E30

[JeLani]

Remaining Optimistic : 18 y.o. self gets ripped off ---> 24v

Did some e36 stuff today .






Old black rear seats -> dove gray rear m3 seats and door panels + some mats. . Picked up half of the m3 interior for free while I happened to be in LA . I love how the outer gray on the door panels matches the car well. I might paint my black bench to match the doves. Seeking vaders same color now. I dont want people thinking I want it to be an m3 clone with the bumper and interior lol .. As for progress on this thing , I have the rest of the parts coming in at some point tomorrow then I can hurry and get this thing driving again so I can work on the e30, my garage is pretty crammed .

last week picked up some '02 parts ;) , surprise surprise, s50 cam trays for the 3.2 s50 I am building . also a m20 lightweight flywheel kit to couple with the g240 , it is missing a dowel so I'll have to order that new from ECS , along with a new clutch to go with it . nearing assembly or the drivetrain parts to drop in . only thing stopping me from doing that is the brake booster which I may just end up relocating a quarter inch or however much it needs to be moved that method . also found a little bit of rust in the transmission tunnel underneath the foam shit the car comes with , filling ,painting , sanding of the engine bay will come before the m52 goes in.. also I need a front half of an e36 m50 shaft to work the g240

Picked up a set of style 3’s for a humble $100 . One has a medium long gash in it I plan to fill in .




Dreamy plans for them :

Wider in the rear , probably when I go wider body , for now I am fine with stock painted white to match the car.

Scored x2 g250 , bunch of 24v small useful parts , and a s50 block in exchange for $47 worth of beer , it was a good trade ; I plan to use the 250 instead of the 240 now so I have no use for it or the driveshaft in case somebody needs it . The shifter assembly for the 240 seems to couple well with the 250 ; we will have to see how it goes in the car ... if one of you could chime in on this combo with 24v swaps that would be great . I know you need the 260 assembly with 24v e30’s if you go with a g240..

Seats sold to 2man. Sad to see them go but needed extra money to have my 2002 towed over from another state up north. Im the mean time I am looking to source a pair of beat or well used recaro sr3’s at a well price , to have them reupholstered to match M3 Evo recaro seats because I am infatuated with them.

pending sale on e30 and m52 :/ , my 2002 just arrived. Thread: https://www.bmw2002faq.com/blogs/ent...ntro/#comments ; Don't have a whole lot of room to work on that with the e30 sitting there, plus I need to start school again soon. Not worried , Its a good sacrifice , I cant wait to dive into the 2002 .
