Subframe completely junk, salvage title and a none running engine in pieces.....seems like a easy pass for me.

He still didnt take our advice and lower the price. Dont think his FS ad is going to matter is he is still asking 9 or 10k. He should be asking 8500 and take anything above 7k
 

Considering kbb is mid/upper 8s and people usually pay under Kelly's blue book for a vehicle that isnt special aka M car or such. Also this being only 2wd and can pick these up at dealer auctions for 6k with close to same mileage I'd say that's your issue.

E30 owners have lost their minds!

Hmm....I have a e92 335i and your localish. 
 

You will need to tow it to concours and have them bleed the system along with the clutch adaptation as you installed a new clutch. If the smg isn't in neutral it won't start. Also the hood needs to be closed or it won't start either.

As much as I'm thankful you didn't have kumrow do the work. Doing it in your garage without a lift will be so much of a pain in the ass. Dropping the subframe is really needed to get in there. But good luck to you. We just installed a pair of Hexon r550s in a e90 335i and long with motiv port injection. The power is insane even at only 15psi.

Usually o-ring and MLS isn't recommended as it's a metal layered gasket. O-ring and factory gasket is what people do it O-ringing. Do you know how much you would be milling down? With low compression pistons MLS usually isn't needed. Unless you think your going to be increasing the compression that much which I wouldn't think the issue would be. Eitherway run e85 and you won't have an issue. If you think your pistons or rods have issues send them out to get analized. They can tell you with doing an xray on them. Better be safe then sorry.

This was my thought on buying one. Now that I know that I will be switching to getting on the list for a m4 gts. That for sure will make money if I can still get on the list for only $10k over msrp.

Just wait till it happens in the m2

Some of our past work

Grab a straight edge and check. Also post up on bimmerforums FI section asking for help prepping the block. Many different methods. May be a better method for the cut ring.

$20k and no turbo....sad day

$20k and no turbo....sad day

This guys speaks the truth especially on a high mileage one like that

Replace the pump. Filter and relay. End of story. On to the next cappy part that is going to fail on a e30. If they have never been replaced under your ownership why not do it for peace of mind anyways?

Wait wait wait. All this work and your still using the m42?? But why?....

Miller software is garbage. Having TCD in WI I have no clue why you didn't go megasquirt to begin with.

Bout time you stepped up to the big leagues

Please don't listen to anyone here that says its bad. Its stock feel as it has 2 clutch discs so doesnt need as much clamping force to achieve the same thing your south bend would. I have driven a 673whp m52 e34 with one and could a very slight difference. Go to bimmerforumns were people actually have experince with them not here were its all here say. John I know all the secrets let me know if you need anyother info. Haha
