Electrical / HELP: My alternator is dead...

« on: October 05, 2008, 05:06:13 AM »

Hi, my alternator just died today and I am desperately in need to get my baby back on the road! I have a '94 318i and I want to know if I can use any other alternator (e30? M50?) on my car. Any help will be appreciated!!!

Engine + Driveline / COP: M50 coils into M42

Sweet! Thanks again man, I'm pretty new to the M42 (ex M50 owner) and there is a lot of things I am not familiar with.

Is this possible? I just have a few coils off a 325 I sold and I was wondering if they would work.

Engine + Driveline / M30 flywheel on M42?

« on: August 21, 2008, 08:07:59 PM »

I have recently replaced my clutch with a clutch kit from an M50 (e36 325i), but I find it too heavy, and I am really disappointed at the way it revs up (SLOW). Searching around, I found a thread talking about swapping an e30 325i flywheel and clutch kit, because it is lighter in weight.
What I am curious about is if this will also work on the e36, since the thread was intended for the e30.
I am not familiar to the M42 engine, and I'm not sure what parts are interchangeable -engine/tranny/diffwise- between the e30's and e36's.
Here is the thread:
