[bmwm42]

my m42 has, but is not limited to:
bavrest refurb afm with UNI foam filter (for lightness!!)
NGK premium silicon plug wires
NGK BKR6EK plugs
new bosch coils
rebuilt head
all new intake seals
sssquid chip
all new cooling system (radiator, water pump, thermostat, hoses)

I can go on... basically it runs awesome with lots of power lol. Only problem is that every morning when stone cold it will hesitate around 2000 rpm till you gun it up to 3000rpm or so in third and shift. bogs down kinda bad... gonna see if the o2 sensor cleans that up.

get a new cps and cam sensor and ONES for the m42 not your mickey mouse shit

That looks like a really nice DIY part. I make one similar that bolts right to the shock tower using factory nut clips and bolts.

Pull your motor lol

[e30_world]

Pull your motor lol

For reals tho! It's possible to do, but it's a huge pain in the butt. Honestly, I'd wait till you have the motor out and do it then.

You talking bout the m20? Or the wiper motor? Ima take your tryna be funny and mean pull the m20...

Not funny. Haha


But seriously like 5 hours later I got both linkage assembly's out. And that's about it. I need the linkage that connects the motor to the actually wiper linkage if that makes any sense I was gonna reuse the one out the parts car but f that. I'm not tryna do this again. Ever!.

Anyone here have a g260 transmission swap brace gathering dust? I'm in the market atm, looks like a couple of the 24V swap parts are compatible with the N54 swap.

I have the front suspension/arc asylum s54 subframe in, and so far so good! I might have to make an inch or so of clearance on the firewall, but that's okay!
Thanks
