Remaining stuff for the swap . Not too much left . I estimate $6-900 later . Clutch kit and flywheel work may run most of that amount , it’s a 228mm m20 single mass , looking into sachs HD kit or clutchmasters . Also would like to change out the input and output shaft seals and detents on the zf , and found a zf front propshaft on here so I’m going to grab that soon .

Any fuel pump recommendations ? My inline was replaced by me years ago , but my outer one has probably never been replaced which may cause me problems , what do you guys run for fuel filters in the 24v realm?

Friend couldn’t buy the e30 , driveway too full .. where we are now :



Copped a pair for a steal . Easy to fit in e30 just need to flatten where the stud goes in all around , these curve about 70 degrees downwards.

Next purchase will be a zf and driveshaft. I have what I believe is a m20 single mass flywheel to go with that.

As for the 02 , found a shell thats been blasted primed and caged . Price and of preparing this tub would be triple the price of the shell I found . Worked on getting ready to pull the m10 and 4-speed this afternoon . Good progress. Comes out and 4 speed swap will be for sale.



Some goodies :


Rebuilt italian weber 45 DCOE, OEM intake manifold and custom cast velocity stacks.

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 .

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.

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..

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.
