        Maybe should have asked someone about bad trans b4 [maxing out your credit card by ordering overnight express Chinese T/O bearing and] ripping apart with misdiagnosis. LOL Zack!

            Zack's Euro e21 m20b23 with g245 sound like this.



            Too bad Zack don't have straight-cut gears in his g245 like that though.

            LMFAO!

                Maybe you could sell your e21 and just tell the buyer you have a "super-sick rare Euro g245 with straight-cut" gears and show them the above video if they don't believe you!

                  Does anyone know a good place around Denver to source some 2.5" OD stainless steel piping for fabricating a exhaust? So, I would need pieces in ideally 5' sections or longer.
                  Thanks!

                      really? Hmmmmm...

                      replacing m20 motor and g245 tranny mounts / shifter bushing = 1 hr.
                      replacing g245 T/O bearing for no reason = 13 hr. wasted

                      Good thing were not at 24 hrs. of LeMan's, as dog-ass Porsche 914 1.7 liter repeatedly pass us up, while Zack in pits ripping apart tranny for 13 hrs. for no apparent reason.

                      CEO of BMW Motorsport, GmBH, at 24 hrs. of LeMan's dumbfounded scratching head in bewilderment...

                      watching Zack slap-on Chinese parts to his e21 with happy-go-lucky guessing misdiagnosis mechanical practices = "made it worth it"

                      style points = MAXIMUM style points

                      LMFAO!

                          Just a heads up, most ix owners are a bit cultish and will be buried in their ix when the day finally comes.

                          You'd have much better luck selling your wagon and hunting one down instead of trading. Sucks that a 528 is with about as much as a clean ix.

                                Roland - I'm sure you can run circles around me all day and I'm glad you know ALL the surrounding circumstances without knowing me, being their, or ever seeing any of my work. You sir are AWESOME...

                                And for being so AWESOME please don't ever work on my BMW, as I like to take a real, real long time when I do work on them. Ask people who DO know me. Thank you

                                Shop time m20b25 rebuild = 30 hrs.
                                My m20 rebuild = 150 hrs. plus hours and not even near finished









                                Sorry I can't be all fast custom builder/fabricator like you Roland! How much of your labor did it take for Drew to rebuild your s38 head? Your everyone's idol...
