I don't know much about the M20...

There was a video a while back with Chris Castro mentioning E46M3 mounts work well if you flip them upside down (I assume frame rail clearance) - and those xref to the same part.

I don't know who else is far enough in the NE to get this bullshit, but goddamn it's cold today.
The back door of the car was frozen solid, so I gave up trying to open it.
When I got...Last edited by Northern; 12-05-2025, 02:48 PM.Leave a comment:

Having not looked at this at all, I think it's too much custom stuff and the body modification will be a hard sell.
If there was a way to pull much more from an E9x/E83 (Adapt the e9x subframe...Leave a comment:

Intermediate shaft/oil pump should be different/spin the other way. Oil pressure relief also likely different. Might need an extra hole drilled for oil pan (or plugged/ignored, I can't remember which...Leave a comment:

Isn't that a fact. $1500 for the engine without accessories/harness and the locking LT230. Not sure if the transmission comes with it but it ate a driveshaft at some point so it's not usable anyway....Leave a comment:

For the D2, I've been trying to secure some sort of engine donor, whether it's an LS or something else (M57 X5s keep popping up on marketplace and that's tempting.)

It has been bulletproof so far. Has some sort of engine noise - I don't think it's chains, maybe cam phasers but I'm going to just live with it until it gets worse... I know both issues are very common...Leave a comment:

I'm also glad about not gutting the 325is. Not sure that you're going to get the full benefit of the M3 without the front suspension. That said there are more aftermarket options than ever. MRT DTM front...Leave a comment:

I like the left side because you don't need to do a bunch of ratchet action to get the clamp off, Although if the angle of that tab is wrong I could see it pop off like you're saying.

It will bolt to the M52 manifold directly. If you have an M50 manifold, you'll need to make some small tabs to mount it.
It uses quick release fuel connectors. I tried to flare mine for hose clamps...Leave a comment:
