If you ever decided to sell, kindly let me know. Thank you

Man--I had to skip this year. The stroker 2.9 was kicking my ass. Would like to have met you. I'm finally getting the itbs onto my car and your videos are a huge help.

Where is this track?

I know its been a while and not sure you are checking the comments anymore, but would you happen to have a base tune to share? I have the exact same setup that I am about to finish installing.

How long did this take you mate

Very good video good details and explanation👌👌👌👍👍👍

Where was this meet at?

hey brother, maybe you can help, I have a bmw E30 but I have swapped the engine to a Nissan SR20 DET my speedo, fuel and temp gauges work but not my tachometer I need to feed a signal to the tachometer do you know from where I can get my signal connection? Is it from the coil signal wire or the injector pulse wire? Ecu wire? I have no idea how to get a signal.. if you have a suggestion Please advise 🙏

Wow. Saved me. Your breakdown of how to get it apart and repaired was spot on. Thank you!

My floorplan included two of these for workbench space, but I've been waiting for this to go on sale since my garage was kind-of finished and I haven't seen a sale. So my old 26" boxes and some shelving have migrated up from the basement and now I just live with 2' of bench space and it's less than ideal. Hoping once I'm fully moved in, I can get back on track. I will say that Amazon has metal cabinets by "Fedmax" that are the cheapest I've seen, and that's what I'm using for my chemical storage. In case you're looking.

Excited to see where this goes!

You will appreciate the usefulness of that tool box.

Don’t know if you’ve molded big pieces like this before but calculations is critical. Also invest in an aluminum roller, it spreads the resin much better than when doing it with a brush. When spreading resin you don’t want to see any “white spots”. That’s air trapped in the fibers and those needs to be removed for a solid mold. Keep up the good work! I’m sure it’s gonna look good in the end 🤠

Better off putting a e90 booster and master on, the 750il master only works on abs cars and its not ideal, the e90 master and booster is more suited to the e30 brake sizes

Great vid and many thanks. I would just add that this is identical for the Australian Kluger and that around 4:20min into the vid, that if you pull each mob off, you can completely remove that inner board for easy access to the screws. Jobs done. Keep up the great work.

I don't want a Ferrari, or a Porsche. I want an E30. In 1988 and 1989 my then girlfriend used to let me drive her 318i when it was brand new. It wasn't an M3, but it was still fabulous.

The primer is a good call, and the single coat IMO is the right call. The paint should cover well in one coat. I can't tell the difference between the wall I hit with 4 coats of primer and the rest that only received one.

Nice filming, thanks. About to replace mine on my e28…terrible intermittent brake fade (loss of braking).

Thanks for putting this up! Was able to fix it as you described.

Did you check the oil cooler adapter to block o-ring?

👍🏼 great job, nothing more satisfying than upkeeping a good ole truck

I’m new to all this, but I’m going through a refresh on an M30B35 in an E34 (new engine seals, head gasket, rebuild engine head and add ITBs). And just having it out of the car on an engine stand makes things much easier and gives peace of mind, because you can see and get to every single part of the engine. It probably takes a bit longer getting it all out of the car, but I reckon time gets saved in the future, because all seals etc are done in one hit rather than bit by bit. But in saying that, I’ll see how I go, I’m yet to get the engine back in the car 😅

That's not junk it's a E30 no matter what.

cool builds are so much more fun than M3s in my opinion. Wrenching over big budgets any day.

Would love to visit the picnic. My car is in Maui. Just an original 89 Cabrio. New paint, interior It’s my daily so not as immaculate clean

I've never thought about this before, but I wonder if using the engine bay/windscreen/fender corner as the default place to put any fasteners you remove is a universal E30 thing?

blunttech tag spotted

nice! just ordered the same catch can for my m20 swapped bmw 2002. You saved a bunch of time finding a can/hose combo that'll work well

I know people say to resurface the head of you take it off, has this one ever been resurfaced?

Any improvement?

My truck uses the red Mopar coolant. I buy it on Amazon for $19 Not sure if it's factory coolant or just a previous owner decision.

Hey man do you have a link to where you got the parts?

I have one it has m52b28 tu and it has been cluncky since i bought it it was m20 ,I replace every thing even engine😂 and still got the same low speed throttle clutch clunk noise I think now I have to replace the car it self

Did you have to take the lower radiator hose off or was that just for easier access?

nice video recently drove my e30 325ix 11,565 miles all the way up to alaska from GA these cars are bullet prove if you take care them

Thanks for the honest insight on the ITB's. The e30 sounds great.

Did the itbs come with the pieces for the vacuum lines?

nice 🙂

I planned to go this year but glad I didn't Because my uncle died from cancer that Thursday before the picnic. Also it's pronounced hart-guh for that name lol. That is an M60 swap in that black car though, the reason people don't do m30s much anymore is because they are so big and heavy and not much power over an m20 you may as well go M50 because it's a better swap

Just in time! Thank you for the video!

Glad you like my led headlights!

Miss my E30 '87 chrome bumper Lachsilber 316 carb version every day.

Holllly! Extremely nice cars. Just M50B25TU swapped mine. This kind of stuff difficult here in Greece. We only get 316's and 318's.

I would absolutely kill to bring mine to something like this in the UK. Looks like a great event, thanks for the coverage!

Dope asf, I know nothing about this stuff. But I would love to replicate my garagistic “Alpina/zender” spoiler in carbon fiber for my e30.

Is this Missoula?

You made it look easy. Looking at the brake lines in the car they look daunting

Always wondered why you switch from the 2.9 L?

You didn’t show how to remove the reservoir and the connections and hose. Thanks for nothing.

Good job changing it before it broke. Don't know if you ever changed the crank seal before but be careful with the alignment as the bottom timing cover has both the oil pump and crank seal on it. Last time I changed mine I did a double check with a mirror and noticed the crank seal lips were messed up and had to redo it. I used Toyotas sealant where it bolts to the front of the oil pan. Good video sir.
