Guys - I'm so sorry about the audio quality with this video. Rest assured, in the final episode 10/10, I plan to provide quality audio through an external microphone, eliminate the shaky video, and generally improve the quality!
Frank i really enjoyed the drive to Kassel perfomance and the walk around there. Thx for sharing. p.s. the sound quality from the inside of the car could be improved with an external mic and maybe an additional one near the exhaust 😉 Cheers.
Thank you so much for the comments. I actually have an external mic (didn’t set it up for this video unfortunately) and I plan to issue a “finale” video in ep 10 of 10 that will have much better quality video. Great feedback though thank you
@@Garageaholic I think you made a wonderful choice of motor swap, I used to own the E39 M5 and it was really reliable and if I was to choose a V8 to stick in the E30 that was BMW sourced that would be the one. Some guys stick M50s, S50s or later turbo engines but they are more trouble than they are worth. The S62 is a real gem of a motor, I doubt you will have any issues at all, I abused mine and barely even serviced it! Makes good torque, revs too... it's just a great choice. I would of done the same but the 1UZ over here are super cheap and any german engine is insanely expensive. Please upload some more vid's about the swap and if you can invest in a rode mic, they aren't too expensive and give great sound quality so we can all enjoy that glorious sound!
I have been trying to figure out how to replace the standard sunroof with a glass sunroof on my e30. From my understanding no e30 (or e36) came with a glass sunroof option. Do you remember if what you bought was a direct fit? Or did you have to modify to get it to fit?
@@KiaShah Some E30's had them. It's was an option that not many original buyers checked on the options list. But you see some pop up from time to time on eBay. For about $2000 lol A few years back, before all the hype, you could get them for $300-500
There is. The n57 or m57 are two that come to mind that we have in the states. They're found I. The e9x cars. As far as I know, they were only offered in automatic form here in the USA UNFORTUNATELY.

Yup - and that’s how much MINE cost back some 7-8 years ago when I bought it
@@Garageaholic How I wish I would have known they existed back then. I learned about them about 20 seconds after the prices skyrocketed. 🙄
LOOOL is that YUGO on 6:47
Hi from Zagreb Croatia :P
Sven Subić YES!!!!!!! Good eye!!!! They have a Hugo at Kassel!
@@Garageaholic nice that shit is from Balkan ;)
i have bmw e30 too ,alpinewhite II 3 door m10 with carburator
You should try an octane booster
Why is that?
@@Garageaholic you'll get more power
Siick.
"It's a zippy car" - This is a 3000lbs car with a 400HP engine. It's not "zippy", it's downright fast lol.
Hahah and it’s sooooo smooth!
Hello. very nice car. your engine very protect use mobil1 or castrol 10w60 oil.
6:46 diesel engine swap?
Biturbo?
I always thought there wasn't bmw diesel engine in usa 🤔
There is. The n57 or m57 are two that come to mind that we have in the states. They're found I. The e9x cars. As far as I know, they were only offered in automatic form here in the USA UNFORTUNATELY.
Yup this was a custom m57 engine swap by Kassel. Very tasteful.
s62 engine weighs less than the m20 just fyi
M20B25 weighs 396lb, S62B50 weighs 487lb.
@@Garageaholic Oh shit. Maybe I mixed up my engines
