m42b32 Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 I am looking for a few parts to fix my m42's oil leaks... Things I am looking for: - MS43 DME (Have 1, but if you have a cheap one I'd buy it as a spare in the event I brick one) - M54B30 MAF (BMW part number: 13627567451, needs to be known good) - E30 engine harness firewall grommet - 16" spal pusher fan Any help finding these things would be much appreciated! This isn't everything, but I'll update the list as I think of more things or check them off the list patsbimmer1 and HipMF 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HipMF Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Looking forward to seeing someone taking the m54 plunge. Let me know if you have any issues with the electronics end of things. I'd like to get my hands (keyboard?) dirty on one of these... m42b32 and Earl 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic540 Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 If you are interested at all, I have an e39 530i that I would like to sell whole. Downsides are an automatic trans and the engine has a knock (PO hydrolocked it). I bought it with plans to fix it and flip it, but I don't have the time. It will run and drive as is. I understand it's not really ideal, but please PM me if you would be interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the offer, but I just don't have a place to keep a parts car so I'm really just looking for the parts I need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 I believe I have a drivers side mount arm still sitting around that you can just have. The mount was seized to it so I needed to replace it in the coupe. m42b32 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m42b32 Posted July 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Thanks for the tip Snap! Put in an offer since it was an option, never hurts to ask haha. Earl, I'll definitely take you up on that if I don't snag those arms. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't seen that, thanks for the tip! I did some thinking/research on ratio's and based on my intended use of the car I think a 3.23/3.25 will be the best for what I want, so I'm going to hold out for one of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Who knows, maybe after i'm up and running I will want a nice S3.73 to replace my S3.25. You are welcome to pit maneuver me for it m42b32 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
