Beautiful car and a beautiful colour! It looks like an e46 colour, is it?

WoW

Good Lord

Holy Shit

Just a few words that spring to mind bullmoose, she looks lovely.. and dont lower her she looks real purdy just like that. But the brakes would be in need of serious attention with a 3.5 loose in her.

Thanks again for all the kind words guys. As for the colour, it is Avusblau which I think first came on the E36 and E34 ///M models.
Still some issues to deal with I'm afraid. I never noticed it before but the LF wheel is sitting further forward then the RF. It must have taken an impact on that wheel even before I bought the car, but I never noticed it with the little 13" wheels on.
As for the brakes, yes, I do need to do something about it. Once everything else is in order that's the next thing to do :)

Yes it is. Standard equipment on a 635Csi I guess.
what BHP is it pushing out??
Something like 218hp and 310Nm
and are you happy with the result!
Not quite yet, there are still some issues to attend but so far I cannot find the time for it :(

hey, just a thought.......
if this is a special 3.5L short stroke, meaning there is a large stroke 3.5L, and you wanted to increase the capacity, what would you get if you squeezed in the biggest crank in the range of engines??? :shock:

Also, does the engine weigh more?

As some of you already know I was having some problems with the M30B35 in my e21. Eventually it became apparant the problems were so severe that I've had to replace the engine :cry:
But that is now almost completed, the car is running again. Here's a picture of the engine bay with the new M30. No longer a B35 but now a B28 from an E28. So a bit less power :? but still enough to get around I'm sure :D
