My project 84 318i

[e30edward]

wow the inside of that m30 looks clean!
can't wait to see this!

[T3rd Ferguson]

Alright, it's now official. Tired and neglected by PO m10b18 will soon enough be replaced with a recently picked up clean 91 m30b35.
Keeping the S3.73 diff, I wonder how that will work out...

"These are the only US models that had the 208 hp M30B35: E32 735i/il, E34 535i, 88-89 E24 635csi."

"M30 Getrag 260/6
1st 3.83
2nd 2.2
3rd 1.4
4th 1.0
5th 0.81
Rev 3.46"

The B35 came in E24 L6's as well, thats where we sourced one for a friend

Got a couple needed parts for the swap today, an ecu, ic, and tb from another 735i car. The TB is way smaller and lighter (lighter = faster right? lol).



The TB is missing a manual TPS that I am still looking for, according to realoem m10 cars had the same TPS as m30 cars...

And ignition coil



T-stat housing (I learned that the traction control m30 cars had 3 sensors on the T-stat housings.

Purchased a b35 5speed engine harness and it's on the way. Plan is to grab an engine harness connector from an m10 and m30 cars and make an adapter.

What could this be ?

The 'writing' looked like arabic for a sec...

Christmas presents from Father Winter?

That's funny, I thought it was Arabic at first too

Early fogs for the euro valance, first time I had Blunt check on these one side or another was NLA. Must be all the e30m3 guys using these (same part). Once the weather clears up I'll get them installed, need to pick up a pair of h3 55watt bulbs.

[kronus]

Ooh, nice. How much were those from the dealer? I have the same fogs now, they're not as bright as I want them to be...

[el bob]

As soon as I saw the cawk n balls on a BMW parts box I thought Blunt.

[E30nate]

thats what i tought too.

[e30edward]

Those are going to look good
How much were you able to get them for
from Blunt?

[Jean]

They go for about $90+ each but sometimes one side or another is NLA, which makes it a pita to order. It's cheaper to get them complete than to order just the glass.

[Jean]

Well, I am still collecting parts for the m30 swap, haven't done much to the car. Installed the euro fogs and found out my rear defroster doesn't work because the connections at the window/grid are corroded and don't make any contact so sometime in the near future I'll need to replace the rear glass (would be about the right time to change the headliner to oem black lol). I do need to order tires first though before anything else.

Car is extremely dirty right now, haven't been washed in months.

[E30nate]

hey jean, i have the rear glass from my black car if you want it. its tinted though, so it might mess up the defroster if you take it off.
