Granny's E12 build, general nonsense




Got 4 new goodies for this thing. RFX Revolutions, the pre-cursor to the popular Shmidt Modernlines. 15x8. ET decent.

Also, anyone have any suggestions as far as cut springs seating on these cars? The springs keep going above the top perches, which is a pain in the ass. I plan to cut another coil sooner or later, so maybe that will solve the problem to an extent. Could I use E28 top perches? Would they even be any different?

Also, if you read this and then afterwards feel the need to bash cut springs in my thread, take this in to account:

-you're beat

Got new rimzzzzzzz so Miroteknik will be happy. Stay tuned, gonna clean them up a bit before the big reveal.

Glad you got it pinpointed. Bottom tensioner is a lot easier to get to with the car in the air , But still a pain

Finally figured out my alternator issues. Hung the reman (what a fucking bitch to get to that bottom tensioner) and had to rewire one of the connections to the alternator, which took a bit of time to pinpoint.

This is the second e12 build i've bumped into today!



this makes me very excited, looking forward to seeing what happens further, although I must say I'm not a fan of the us bumpers though

Looking forward to more updates

Yeah they're quite an eyesore, 10/10 for sitting on, it was a perfect bench at h2o this year

picked this one up for mine.
Amazon.com: Bosch Reman AL41X Alternator: Automotive

Picked one up from Auto Zone for $79

[dholla]

Are there any alternators that would be a direct replacement that would work better on the E12? Mine crapped out, just wondering if there are any upgrades out there!

looks like a bad ass project ! Cant wait to see what you do . Subscribed

Yeah I can't wait to get the ball rolling. Ideally it'll end up with a nice NA build on the M30, 4 speed or 5 speed swap, and some of those lovely alpina aero bits for the exterior

Geez this is lovely. That interior looks like a nice place to be

Thanks man! It's the place to be these days
