Congrats dude!

Nice work! The first rebuild is definitely the most surreal. The feeling of, "wait...it's running! On purpose!" is pretty special. As far as the gearbox goes, seriously do the oil change before driving it much. You should really do the diff fluid too if it isn't fresh, that way you know how old everything is. It is extremely worth it. And it's really hard to get any hair mixed in while you do it! :razz:

We all need to be on the lookout for any other signs of the apocalypse.

^This, you've doomed us all Spence. Congrats though!

You have got to be kidding me. All this work and you never changed/ checked fluids?

how much do you think it costs?

Baby steps, Swanny. Baby steps.

all engine fluids are good, brake fluid is decent, should be bled probably. never checked gear oil.


iduno like 20 bucks?

[Swanny]

this is another thing, fluid levels havent been checked so i need to handle that, drain old shitty fluids and replace them.

I made a pass by but there was no red E30 where there should have been. I had to see for myself. Give me a call if you want a 2nd opinion on the iffy parts. I have a wrench that should open the fill plug on the transmission (assuming its the same as the M3) the diff is easy to check.

Let me know, I'm bored out of my mind.

Is... Is this real life?


Way to go man! Brings back memories to my first-start. I just wanted to hear it idle forever and ever haha

[Pantless Spency]

is there fluid in the tranny?? Ill admit once I did an M52 swap and the car sat so long i forgot the diff was empty. Took it out up to about 80 before the diff locked. It was a handful keeping it straight

thats a great feeling. I still remember my first s52 swap and the feeling I had when it first fired

ha, my heart sank at that moment of my first s50 swap. Had a spun bearing which was repaired, but didn't know the thrust bearing was bad. Felt much better putting in the next motor, as I sourced it from a complete m3 I bought from bf.c
