So i did pickup new wheels today..

Then..
Front..
Well old looks like this from inside..

New ones like this:


So if i even try to fit that in there i need atleast 20mm spacer..

So its been some time.. and heres current look. im currently waiting that my new rims arrive, so maybe soon pics with those on

[Exami]

No pics no nothing!

Well i've been driving the car daily after the swap, seems pretty darn good, for fast job as it was car has been working like it should!.. and i hope i didn't just jinx it.. anyway 2 'small' issues 1st radiator cap didn't keep water in(no expansion tank so too much preassure) 2nd powersteering pipe from pump to steeringbits was leaking..

So problemsolving... 1st i got new moroso radiatorcap with 20lbs spring(old one was 16lbs) so far so good, havent leaked water out.. 2nd i got new powersteering pipe, havent installed it yet hopefully i get that done on weekend..

Stancewise there might come some updated in month time or so.. i got some wheels in mind and coilovers and such.. but also i need to work on my E46(coilovers + styling5 set refurb)

Today i got the swaybar i was waiting for, from W124 500E Merc.. i got it from local MB dealer.. Fitted nicely onto the car and cleared the M50 oilpan!

Ok, first test drive done, wheel alignments was WAAAY off.. and 1 connector on powersteering was lose.. so not bad for this kind of project.. anyways new photos and video soon as i get it uploaded to youtube..




And the video is done...

[Exami]

There is no time for monkeybusiness...
for most of you this is just some letters.. anyways this is my todo list that i started today. and this is where i got.. hopefully all remaining things will be done tomorrow.

missed this thread somehow

this is interesting tho

y did u choose for the bimmer engine btw?

Basicly 2 reasons, me and my pal have been talking about M50 Turbo W201.. so first stage would be fitting N/A version(to see how it fits)
Second which contains several, M50 is quite nice engine good power and good reliability

Its cool when someone comes up with a whacky idea, and instead of just talking about it, they do it. Props to you.

[Exami]

some new potato quality photos :P



Oh and the pile of 'crap'.. parts that have been removed & replaced..

its not all but most of the stuff..

[Exami]

todays update, some small bits worked out and some test fitting photos:

Bracket done for atf oil

Test fitted Air flow meter fitment and generally pipes / hoses...

I picked up new Griffin radiator today, so test fitted that..

Nice pass for cold air for airfilter


Also i fitted clutchline + bleed it. and after these photos i cleaned up the wirings.. im still waiting on the exhaust manifolds.. hopefully i get them before weekend so i can do the exhaust on weekend.. other than that i might need custom swaybar.. but thats not important now. :P
