Good luck with the engine swap. I did this about 5yrs ago using an M30B34 engine from an EU spec 535i mated to a 5sp box. We decided to go with direct to head throttle bodies from Jenvey and a new ECU (Emerald). Sounds awesome and adds some eye-candy to the engine bay. Something worth...
I think you would have to assume the shell will need a lot of work. £20-30ks worth I would guess?
But searching the archives here, I believe the previous owner sold the car as a project about 10 years ago for £50k, and it looked in similar condition (albeit with an Airbox) so the new owner...
Apologies if it was won by anyone on here, as I probably cost you £10k by bidding against you! Lol
I’m sad I didn’t win it, but also slightly relieved! It’s a big project to take on.
I’ve got a Tiaga Green CSL look-alike with a 5 speed and 3.5 on throttle-bodies powertrain swap. It’s a...
Hi Tom,
any progress with your project? I would love to hear about (see) the condition of what you bought and how the restoration is progressing!
Cheers

Thank you all for the advice received so far.
not exactly maintenance - I had a new engine and gearbox, incl rebuild master and slave cylinders! Actually, all was fine for a good few months and then this started. I've sort of lived with it and have just adjusted to applying the clutch using a...
I'm trying to work out what the main culprit of my soft clutch pedal is. The symptoms are that if I apply very light pressure and very slowly depress the pedal it will offer no resistance and push all the way through to the end stop, whilst the clutch will stay engaged.
If I push firmly and...
I found this site where I can buy a new part

I think I'll try this to see if it works.
While I'm taking it all to pieces it would make sense to refresh any bushings, etc. Does...

I’m looked for either a RHS front indicator housing with reflector Euro spec.
...or a LHS front indicator lens, US spec.
(I’m right in thinking US spec indicator lenses and reflector stick further out?)
thanks

Looking for indicator unit for right hand side. Either the complete unit with reflector and lens, or just the reflector (as I can source the lens)

Hi Abzy,
I've still got your first love ;-)
She got a heart transplant and now rocks a 3.5L with Jenvey Throttle Bodies, 5sp Manual Transmission and CSL-spec trailing arms and brakes.
Still looks beautiful in Tiaga Green.
Drop me a line. It would be good to compare notes on what you're...
Good point! They are based in the UK.
I thought I had a complete profile. Registered quite some time ago (3 or 4 years ago now) and only just re-logged in; maybe profile got lost? Will update
