i dont know if any e30 guys in norcal who have done a m60 swap

[dhcg86]

Im also looking at m30 or m50 swaps

who can help me?

I hate my 325e!

I also seem to think the m60 swap is fairly easy?

[kronus]

Will do.

Thank kronus. I feel like it only has a misfire at low rpms 7-1000. Once it gets about that it smooths out.

above 1000 rpm the engine has too much rotational velocity to notice a misfire in 1 cylinder

have you read any of the build threads? It's far from easy, probably second hardest behind S38. (not counting extremely one-off swaps like LS1, S62, etc)

shops will help, but thats $$$$$$$$

forum members might help if you find the right guys.

the m60 swap deals with a remote brake booster system that the s/m5x's dont deal with.

If youre tired of your "e" just find an m20b25 motor and drop that shit in. I am sure you will be much happier, especially if your car is a DD.

If you have driven a325i and still want more power look into m50/m30 swaps. An m60 swap is far more then you need for a DD.

Thank you very much.

Have to sell my motorcycle :(
I didn't do my calculations quite right and I wont be able to keep both the e30 and motorcycle at this point in my life.

[mbonanni]

What motorcycle?

Model?
Price?

Quick question: will e36 GC coilovers fit an e30? The springs should be the same, rear adjusters shouldn't really matter, I'm mainly wondering if the front adjuster/top hat is different.

[mbonanni]

If they do I am hoping on that set form the guy on here before you. I would offer him more then you in fact..

I dont think they fit though.

[Vivek]

I would offer him more then you in fact.

Congratulations.

This guy? http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=256360

Also I'm just talking about the springs and adjusters/top hats. I know the shocks and especially the struts will be different.

[mbonanni]

Congratulations.

[Danny]

I bet they'd work.
