ILL. E30 M3 / S85 / multilink rear suspension

[Brew]

Wow. Didn't think I'd see a project like this for at least a few years. Wonder how the hell he's planning on running that motor.

probably using the s85 dme...

or a shitload of money on a Motec setup or similar...

I'm sure to this guy, or whomever is bankrolling this thing, MoTeC is cheap. :mrgreen:

[NC325iC]

that asshole stole my idea

except where he used the m5 v10 i used a boosted M60 and where he used e90 stuff i used mostly custom stuff

The S85 DME and harness won't work without the rest of the car there. Hell, we can't even update the software in the DME without updating the rest of the car. I'd be very impressed if Motec has engine management available to the public that is on the same level as the factory stuff.

[bimmer8604]

Motec is the shit, it can run anything!

Sure it wont work with the rest of the car, but it will work with the engine. And yes, you can update the DME without updating the rest of the car. Special Measures my friend....

I guess what I'm trying to say is he doesnt need to make the DME work with the rest of the car, instead he's probably making the rest of the car work on its own system ie guages and shit.

I hope he's running SMG III, cause that would be bad ass! And with the new suspension he can probably have all the DSC sensors and everything tie in to the main harness. It's not that difficult when you think about it...

My money is on an on/off Vanos or Vanos delete implementation. But, if the guy can get a continuously variable Vanos to work, more power to him.

Can you special measures that DME?? Damn, I gotta get on this shit. I haven't had M5 training yet, but I'm going to Jersey for it in 2 weeks.
But yeah, I'd imagine this would be a pretty difficult project if you aren't extremely familiar with the E60 M5 chassis electronics. And I wonder if the SMG III trans fits in an E30 tunnel? Fuck, I'm wasted right now.

[FredK]

well, there's not much of the tunnel left in the pic above!

[Jordan]

I'm impressed.

[Stu]

I'm impressed.

Edit: Do they need a test driver? Someone to do a few shakedown runs? :D

[Jean]

Ummmm wow!

I love the Scmidt's. Fit the car really well.

You don't need E60 M5 training to know that you can special measure most modules.

That looks sick!
