I swapped in the E36 drive shaft with a backward E30 CSB.. bolts to diff and trans perfectly BUT the E30 CSB backward puts the center of the drive shaft too far to the left, so I am going to rip it...

do you have the full SETA intake, harness, injectors, DME, sensors and whatnot? I have an ETA that runs like garbage and may want to convert it to the SETA electronics.

also, probably interested...

I have the E30 325e drive shaft in there right now, not sure if I want to run the E36 DS or not.. better because its M12 and that's what the 250 needs, worse because I have to swap the CSB to a...

haha, excellent :)

welcome to the disease!

haha, nope. I frequent uPull, so I had a chassis side X104 connector from an E36 I spliced straight into my E30 chassis harness (it was the square C101 used only 84 and 85) anyways. everything except...

so, are you out and driving this yet?



just fired up my 24v swap tonight as well. feels good man.

yay!

if the E30 started life as a manual, it shouldn't have a neutral safety switch, or at least my E30s never do (can start in a gear).

check all of your fuses. I had a 7.5a blow and crippled the...

so, how'd it go?


my 24v should drop in next week too, hope you didn't jinx the wiring ;)

it was probably around 11:15am on 94W on tuesday

srs downforce on the rear of this FWD beast.

yeah, I know my old 80s benz primed when key was turned to 'on' but all E30 and E36/34s seem to need a crank signal for spark and fuel to be initiated.

I used the M42 rad with no issue in my past 24V car. even on hot days, just a thermostatic controlled fan and it was cool as a cucumber. :)

but yes, those L6 rads from 88-99 were exactly the same.

unloader and trigger wires on the starter backwards? it happens.

check your wiring at the C-101 if the starter doesn't go from manually jumping.

88-90 325i rad is the same as 92-99 e36 6 cyl rad. you must however use the e30 expansion tank setup or go m42 rad to ditch it all together

got on the highway at the BMW of minnetonka entrance ramp and saw a black E92 closing in my rearview, you went 169S when I went N.

car looked good and you were movin'

I was in a silver E36 M.
...

three 18 or 19mm bolts on each side, yep.

at least one will snap off, so have bits ready.

dem rtabs. ^ he speaks truth. soak those puppies for weeks every day, heat em up too. some come out easy, most break clean off and it SUCKS.

making serious progress, very neat :)

if there's no record of the RTABs being done, get your alignment checked at least to see if they're bad (toe in). I'm always suspicious with new tires on e36s. feels like they're hiding something...
