Mate of mine is wanting to put an E36 M3 lump into his E30 325i - does anyone know of any conversion guides or good articles on it?

Cheers

 

thats what BMW forums are for, but do post up what you find as id be interested to read

 

Yeah and? Having tried searching them I thought I'd ask here as theres some knowledgable people on here.

Quick edit! Been looking most of the afternoon - can find parts lists and stuff but no step by step guide which is what Im after.

 

my mate put a E36 M3 evo lump in his E30 318i, it was a very quick car. It was a fairly straight full convertion. I think he used a sump off a 525i took of the power steering and fitted an aftermarket pedal box. Would really recommend doing it. He had a few races with a modified E46 M3 CSL and blew him away.

 

go to www.e30zone.net for several long threads with this conversion.the best starting point is a 325 or a touring as they have the heavier duty 51mm suspension and disc brakes all around.

 

Sign up to www.e30zone.net very friendly bunch who will be only to happy to help you out. This conversion was completed recently by a user one the forum.

Other users are having good fun with the 24v engines from the e36 2.5 and also the easily bhp increased 328i

Don't just disregard the m20 lump though, company called a-tech do mad stuff by turbo'ing them.

 

E30 Zone? Friendly? Ok then

Markos, Ant @ A-Tech sorted my car, he's on 01959 534 718

He'll know what you need or I think it's prob covered on the engine conversion section on the zone (havent been on there since I had mine)

 

its friendly unless your a knobber with an attitude or there to argue. much like any forum.

 

My E36 M3'd engined E30 was fucking awesome!!! Sideways everywhere even in 5th gear down a straight dual carriageway in the wet....although that was a bit much really

 

Thats why hes posted it here

 

Ta! Found a good build guide on E30 zone - Martyn asked me to have a look cos hes doing the conversion on his after Restall took his car round Brands on Monday. Pottering around the warm up lap apparently & now the engines f*cked, pottering around the red line more like ha ha
