DU WERKIE!!!! Hit me up for swaps. :)

good clean looking work.....


how did you paint/tint the plastic ..ie the coolant res?...

[Gatts]

that looks great man. Is that gas cap for the oil fill cover?

and you only have one A/C line hooked up?

Thanks Brian. It actually is an oil cap that I had powder coated. It came with this M50B25 (NV) that I pulled from a salvage yard here in Savannah. I haven't seen it on any others, so I'm guessing most swap it out for either the 318 cap or M3 cap. Otherwise, maybe a previous owner swapped it out at some point for some reason but it does say "Oil" on it.

The A/C line was left in place b/c I'm in the process of making a few changes to get the A/C working with the M50. Gets a bit warm here:firehop:

Just wanted to ask.......


I dont remember what the m20 coolant res. looks like...but in posts # 708,712 and 716 what coolaNT res is being used?..

Just a quick note;

Two different types of M20 coolant reservoirs. Old type ended in 8/87 and new started in 9/87. Old was on passenger side and new was on driver side. Shape was different as you've seen, and they utilize different mounts. Radiators are also slightly different.

I just swapped in the 9/87 res and radiator.

Can somebody please tell me what sort of brake fluid reservoir is used at the car in this picture?

Guys I need your help, is there anybody that has a part number on the bmc reservoir?

Thanks!

Is Dbilas the only place that would have the ITB's for the s52? I know BMP makes them for the m50, but I am not sure if they would work on an s52. Anybody know for sure? I don't mind spending money on my car, but only if I know that said mod will work (albeit with crazy tuning time). I'm hot and bothered by BMW's with CF airboxes. I saw Will Turner's e46 M3 when I was picking my car up once, and he popped the hood so I could take some pics. Boooooiiiiiiiinnnnnnngggggg!

i have no idea about it.please contact ot ur frnz or to the dealer...

Latest of mine. Still needs some fix up but puts out a little bit of power.

new:
So much clean up to do but I'm happy with it so far. Last dyno run had 488wtq and 421whp but I had break up issues and couldn't rev past 4,000 rpms
