:)

Looking forward to seeing the m30 in your car:).
You work really fast, but where did you get the alpina parts?
Also, was that a set of black houndstooth door cards I saw in one post?

There was a Alpina B10 Biturbo on eBay Germany not to long ago. Maybe were he bought.

Is your B10 Biturbo complete motor?

Well done young man! You are doing it right! You have knowledge/experience/taste well beyond your age!

I remember seeing that a while back. This will be a very nice build with the b10 in there:)

Lots of fancy parts in this thread for sure. You'll come to notice that making everything work together as it should is the tricky part. Things like brake bias, neutral handling, ironing out quirks take the most time and money to resolve.

Good luck, can't wait to see her with 3 pedals

This is absolutely true. Once I get the rear suspension under it, I'll be working on dialing everything in. I cant believe I waited so long to do a 5spd swap. Soon she will have an m30 mated to a g265/6

Yes, I picked up a set of anthrazite houndstooth door cards and rear seat for FREE off of craigslist about a month ago. I have been cleaning them up and they are almost ready to go into the car. I've always wanted a houndstooth interior.

I actually picked it all up off of Craigslist about a week ago. Not a complete motor:( I only was able to buy the: intake manifold, fuel rail w/ injectors, turbo manifolds and a pair of Garrett T25 turbos that are NOT the original turbos alpina used, but are very similar in size (I'll post up the specs of these when everything arrives in a couple days.) I plan to build an m30 over the summer for boost with all modern parts, and tune everything with megasquirt.

It'll be an upgraded, more modern version of the b10 biturbo engine, since I didn't get the whole engine.

Nice B10 bi turbo stuff. Cant wait to see another turbo m30. I was gonna do a m106 system also but for now will be NA and then go to conventional setup.

fitting those turbos will be a challenge though. I suggest having custom motor mounts made cause your only gonna be able to use drive side of what ever set of mounts you get.

Whoa, calm down man. Looking young is a good thing. Keep up the good work!

Generally, telling someone they look 12 is a bad thing. However, those pics are almost all 3 years old and I did look young. Great observations

I need to spend more time on cl:)
You have some great parts for your car, going to be fun to watch this build.

3/25/16: Made a trip down to seattle to pick this guy up. Mint grey rear parcel shelf from an 84. The 84 and 85’s had no 3rd bake light and used a different style rear seatbelt, so the rear parcel shelf is completely flat instead of having the raised edges like 86+ e30s. I think it looks wayyyyy cleaner. Pic of my tan rear parcel shelf from my 87 for comparison.




/QUOTE]

Whats the part # of the 84/85 Seat belt pieces that go through the parcel shelf? Mine are missing on mine and I used the later pieces and it looked like shit.

[bruner]

2mAn, the part numbers are:
Covering left- 51461916979
Covering right- 51461916980
They're super cheap!

Thanks Brandon! I've been following your B6 3.5 build, its a huge inspiration. I'll be making custom motor mounts for sure. Fitment of 2 bottom mount turbos is going to be interesting to say the least..

I can almost guarantee they're going to interfere with the frame rail

[bruner]

They definitely might. Does an m3 have more frame rail clearance? Here's an m3 with a full B10 biturbo engine:

Granted, he doesn't mention how much modification it took. It looks like he is running the factory manifolds and turbos though

[kronus]

no, frame rails are identical
