Just now, KaiserRolls said:
I have a friend interested in the stock e36 midsection. Let me know what you want for it if you go to a full custom setup
Throw me an offer! It didn't leak at all and I also have that bmp strut bar I'm wanting to sell.
-
debating whether or not to pick up some cheap headers for all the noise!
-
nope. gonna fab up a whole custom setup that will hopefully run out the center like my current setup.

Also will you be using the stock mid section from the e36?
I don't quite understand what you are saying Kaiser???

Some form of an LS or LT will be going into the bmw at some point in time. the m50 is just to make up in the lacking of power dept... May do an m50b30 setup this year or just a quick dirty regasket and mild rebuild to not have it down for long...

Well Im back with some updates! Its been forever since ive been on here but I still have the e28 and have done the all black interior and pretty much just been enjoying it for the beautiful classic toy that it is!
Also kicked the van to the curb and bought another much faster toy!
But back to the e28. heres some interior shots finally! I did the door cards and rear speaker deck in black suede and it turned out awesome!
Moar e28 porn!
And for the best part! M50 donor car!!!! Gonna be tearing into it soon!
And just recently went out to visit my pride and joys... Cannot wait for spring to be here!!!
-
I just don't know how well it would hold up on the door pulls and such but it's worth a try I guess...

Lost your number with my last phone... Text me snap...

Well I'm Back!!! Lots of updates now and more to come...
First off, I ordered a ton of parts for the e28...
OE air filter
PCV breather hose
New intake elbow
Spark Plugs
Cap and Rotor
Lower Control Arms
Thrust Arms
All new say bar links
Rear subframe mounts
Center Link
Inner and outer tie rods
New Idler arm with bushing
While I was waiting on parts to show up I stripped the beige carpet out that weighed a ton in the and have been cleaning any bits of rust in the floor (Gotta say I'm impressed for a 31 year old WI car!) All in the pursuit of weight reduction YO! I'm putting black carpet in from MKOEPP That will save me close to 50lbs and itll get me closer to a full black interior! (Anyone have black e28 door cards???) And I painted all the lower dash sections black to match the dash as well.
ADD kicked in YO
While still waiting on steering parts, this happened...
Couldn't ask for better fitment

As described in my e28 build thread... Gonna have some actual build money for this too!!!
-
So getting a new job that is actually going to pay me a fair wage thanks to jc43089!!! But now what to do to the e28??? Still debating to turbo the m20 super eta or just go full retard and get a non vanos m50 and turbo that on a stand while I have a driving car...
-
It's been so long since I've seen this thread... holy progress batman!!! Looking good earl!!!
-
How's the exhaust gonna route with the steering linkage? I'd be all over a v8 swap in my e28 if it weren't for the damn steering linkage!!!
-
This thing needs to see the road this year!
-
So you scrapped both the white and the blue e28s?!
-
Need a super eta brake booster?! I'm ur man!
-
And before snap trolls in on the spoiler yes i know its slightly crooked but its coming off again soon for some much needed trunk, hood, roof paint...
-

and some suiting stickers...

Update! I was partying with bfinley and the crew and was challenged to a burnout... I haven't had the car all that long by this point and have done nothing to it at all... So I revved a little and dumped off the clutch and awesome burnout! So I figured after a 200+ foot burnout that another little one wouldn't hurt... The curse of the Japanese cooling system caught back up with me
I blew the old rad sky high! Glad it did tho... There were tons of little stress cracks all over it and was gonna go sooner or later so I was glad it did it a half hour away from home rather than hours away... Stay tuned for some maintainence madness! -
Dang! Those lights really completed the front end!

Got some more work done to the M50. I got the trans, clutch and flywheel off of it, and took off the harness and all the old vacuum and coolant hoses. Then threw it up on a stand so I could work on it without throwing my back out. As of right now I have the manifold nuts and studs soaking in penetrating oil and the rest of the engine soaking in deagreaser.
Also got the E28 out of storage and did hopefully its last oil change to the M20!
