thanks fellas. wheel specs are bbs rs211 stepped up to 17 x8.5 and 10. good enough to stuff up under the stock fenders and still be able to lay out. lots of work ahead still.

Sooooo dope man keep it up!

Looks good! I'm gearing up for a manual swap into my 745i turbo, so this thread is great encouragement.

Quote train for this page!

Wowzer

That's what I said when I got the rear wheels to finally clear the fender. With no camber adjustment, it was cutting it close.

All of the above! What a great transportation device you have there

thanks! Going from point A to B now may take a bit longer. Not because its slow but because its more fun to drive.

yes! That's the combo right there. Nice ride. If this motor ever takes a crap on me, I'll be dumping an m62 in it.

Do you find the ergonomics weird with regard to the shifter? It's been since 2004 that I drove a manual E23 (so I forget) and the console seems wide enough that it might be kind of a reach.

Anyway, you might be waiting a while for the M30 to blow, especially since you've sorted out the top end oiling.

the shifter ergonomics seem just fine for a car like this. it doesnt feel like a reach, but its no sports car. im not looking to do any motor swaps anytime soon, so i would like it to run forever. i just worry sometimes that it wont pass CA smog, as these early motronics need the motor to be sealed tighter than tight.

Best e23 definitely

Any paint plans in the future?

P.S. do you find that sunroof visor thing actually useful? Mine was scratched and purple and I took it off to respray my e23, is it worth putting back on?

[kittenpuncher]

You sir have won the game, your attention to detail is really inspiring. Great and I mean great job.

Yea, the paint isnt in good condition so that's what I am currently saving for. I'm not doing a respray, but a total color change. The car will have to be completely stripped and will give me an opportunity to take care of some other things when the time comes. So for now there has been a bit of downtime. I don't notice much of a difference with the sunroof windguard, but for now it adds a different look to the car.

thanks man. I can't wait to get it in the paint booth and finish the exterior once and for all. Nice screen name. Lol
