    2 owner early model sedan S52 over haul(pics)

    This will be my first post so i may just be throwing this in the absolute wrong area but here we go.

    I bought this car actually off of Rev about 2.5 years ago and have daily'd with the M20 since. Bought with all service records/dealers tags and original everything. 1987 325e 5 speed tan houndstooth.

    had a set of ccw's then came across a cool set of HRE's for a good price in original E30 spec bore. Also love the set of broadway static suspension i ended up going with. 16k 18k spring rates.

    Ive done the IE camber toe kit, and a 3.73 lsd.
    somewhere around -5 and -6.5 camber
    Interior: crackles dash, nardi stuff, euro clock, and aston martin Vantage Recaros

    Well at 249k miles (running fine) i pulled the m20 because i actually had 2 e36 M3's fall in my hands after sell my e39 m5. One, a daily, the other wrecked in the rear. both '98 3.2's

    I pulled everthing off the wrecked m3 (150ish miles) and began the s52 overhaul for the e30. The engine received:
    (new unless stated)
    -new cylinder head with machine work
    -belts and pulleys/tensioners
    -water pump tstat
    -vc gasket and vc
    -new timing chains and guides
    -head gasket and ARP head bolts/rodbearings
    -cams/lifters/injectors with 61k miles (removed and confirmed miles)
    -new cam and crank sensors
    -Cleaned block and surface
    -rebuilt vanos unit/ oil lines
    -bosch spark plugs
    -all hoses
    -trans shifter rebuild and linkage refresh
    -M3 driveshaft
    -e28m5 motor mounts and e21 trans mounts
    -RED46 24v plate
    -turner motor sports M50 mani adapter
    - m50 manifold
    - e32 brake booster and master cylinder
    - New clutch and surfaced flywheel
    - e34 throttle cable
    - New steering rack/w knuckle




    Sorry for the lack of narration, I'm not much of a writer.
