Hey Dave! I'm interested in the E30 M42 Throttle Body. I'll send over a PM.
thank you! it's a fun build. I think everyone should do it  ;D

I finished up my rear end this weekend.









- Swapped out the 320i Trailing Arms for Euro 323i Trailing Arms.

- Swapped out the 3:91:1 Open Differential to a 3:91:1 Limited Slip Differential.

- Swapped out the Euro 323i Calipers/Rotors for E30 325i Calipers/Rotors.

My car has an identity crisis. It thinks its an E30  :P

Very nice!!

It's very 80s...I just pictured scenes from Karate Kid and The Lost Boys lol.

Hopefully you can flip this puppy fast. Good luck with the refresh/restoration. Keep us updated!
Thanks for the updates - your components are first-rate picks!

Say, I have a line on a pair of E21s...and a spare M42...

What am I thinking?!? I don't need any more projects, that's for sure.  :-[

But...you're making it look so easy...

 :D

Do it Dave!! I put the engine in last night. My hands were too dirty to take pics, but I got some in this afternoon.







I have a lot more work to do, but the biggest task is out the way.
Been so busy with other things...I finally had time to post something...if anyone is following my build, sorry for the delay. I don't have anything cool, but I am almost done with the M42...



















In order for me to spend time with my build, i bought the wife a 2014 320i and the son an X5 (he's 3...)





More to come...still waiting for parts in the mail...damn backorders!!!
What's up guys,

Thought I'd document my build on here since I'll be swapping an M42 into my 1980 320i (e21 - M10b18).

Guess the best way to document this build is with pics;

The project;

Car: 1980 BMW 320i
Current Condition: Not Running
Mileage: 107k




The engine;

Donor Car: 1991 BMW 318iS
Current Condition: Runs
Mileage: 170K




I'd like to rebuild the engine, but it might just come down to a light rebuild or heavy refresh, however you want to take it. All depends on how much the warden -- ahem, my wife allows me to spend.

Definitely updating the timing components, resurfacing the block, and would like to invest in M50 360* thrust bearings.

Hopefully I can start dismantling the motor this weekend and get to the juicy stuff.

More to come...
