bmw m52 engine conversion
Re: bmw m52 engine conversion
Car looking great. On the 323i subframe which metal motor arms did you use? The stock M52 ones dont exactly bolt into the 323i subframe. Did you make custom arms?
Re: bmw m52 engine conversion
i used m20 mounts - they bolt straight on.

Done a few more jobs to stiffen up the chassis fitted new polyurethane anti roll bar bushes front and rear also fitted a rear strut brace. stiffer springs are next to do which are on order along with some ferodo ds2500 brake pads.

Re: bmw m52 engine conversion
New ferodo racing pads & stiffer springs arrived today hopefully get them fitted in the next few days.
Re: bmw m52 engine conversion
Ds2500 pads are awesome. Should improve the brakes loads. If the brake fluid is dark then you need to flush all that out before fitting new fluid in.
Be careful when bleeding the system you dont push the pedal all the way down as it makes the seals in the master die if they arent new.
