    The wheels are not from a E36 M3.
    Are from E46 with the M pack.

    • @ImOldGregg
      @ImOldGregg 7 лет назад +33

      André Ribeiro you're correct, but I know which wheels he has confused them with. They are relatively similar

    • @brettcastro97
      @brettcastro97 7 лет назад +5

      Yup, the E36 wheels he confused them with are called Forged M Double Spokes. I know they came on the M3 lightweight and I guess as a wheel option for the regular M3.

    • @ChittysMusicGear
      @ChittysMusicGear 7 лет назад +1

      yup, I had them on my 2003 330i M sports package.

      @bmos02 7 лет назад +6

      Yeah, Matt was totally on point with that. So many e36s have them that the owner must have assumed they were meant for the car.

      @ChittysMusicGear 7 лет назад +2

      yeah, 17" staggered. They weren't my fave, but they looked really cool when you get close, pretty deep looking. Definitely stock with that year's MSport package. I see them around town
      semi regularly.

    I have a V8 Swapped 1987 E30. Best thing I have ever done to my E30. It's a freaking rocket now.
    I basically did the same thing he did, with a M60B40 from a 1994 540I, Getreg 420g 6 speed out of a 2001 540i, and a 3.24 LSD out of a 2002 Z3M.

      I live here in N. Italy (I'm American) and I whole heartedly agree with you! I think the 2010 models were as future looking as they needed to go. The actual steel/chrome bumpers were nicely done and....RWD + manual transmission + driving skill=😃 Oh and the cops here in Italy have no radar in their cars....it's normal to drive 55mph in a 30mph or 95mph in a 75mph. I love these roads!!!

      bmw purposely designs their parts so they fit into other bmw's.... swapping most engines is pretty straight forward. For example, they used the same shitty waterpump (identical part) in something like 15-20 different cars. This is not uncommon with them.

    • @mescko
      @mescko 6 лет назад +3

      Until I started on my E28, I knew little/nothing about BMW's. I have since found out that, indeed, there is a lot of design continuity and parts-bin engineering in these cars. The shifter in my project is out of a Z4. the stick fits The original E28 shifter support 'console'. All I had to do is shorten the rod between the stick and the shift shaft on the gearbox. There are half a dozen or more different shifters I could use depending on which shift ratio I wanted. There's even an X5 manual shifter (if you can find one) I could use.

    You mentioned Akebono brake pads. I once tried them on my Jetta and must not have had the right type of pad. They were the right part number but they seemed to take longer to stop the car than the ones I had. I took them off and got a set of Stop Tech para aramid pads that are slightly better than OEM for stopping. I think they are even advertised as being more fade resistant and fading is a very common thing with many brakes.

  • @placeholdername3206
    @placeholdername3206 3 года назад +1

    You can fit powerbrakes in M60 swapped E30's. Pretty common swap in Europe. The easiest and cheapest is to literally just mount the brake booster where the stock airbox normally sit and then literally have a rod you welded up operate it. Its going to look ghetto, but it works great. Yes that can be done by a 17 year old, i know that for a fact. Ofcourse if you spend your time playing Need for Speed Underground and Gran Turismo instead of holding the flashlight in the garage for dad, I guess you cant.

    I drove a stock e30 325i years ago (except it was lowered a bit) It was some of the best fun I had in car at the time. I can't imagine how amped up it would be with a V8. But it must be scary fast.
