I got it up on jack stands yesterday. This lowrider life is a chore...
Engine bay shot
Dinan BBTB
Super awesome "boost controller" it says it is "high performance" I am a little skeptical.
Looks like they were nice vintage H&R spring before somebody took a grinder to them. Maybe it wasn't a complete set so he used half for each side of the car??
Sweet action boost piping
Dryer vent intake, easy routing at least. It had an ancient Spectre filter jammed on the end of it.
I am not sure how it works if you plug the ICV hose...
No milkshake here or oil cap so that seems good.
And a dead Fleet Farm battery to top it off.
My first steps have been to remove the janky security system. And get it up on jack stands to check out the bottom. It has some rust so i don't feel bad about it being a work beater. Next I am going to remove the turbo and exhaust and install the exhaust from my other car to run it N/A for now. I don't have time or money to finish it properly right now. I will see how it is with the Dinan chip and BBTB. I am pretty excited to drive a BMW again, even a junk one...

Was PO actually that big of a bum**** to put an Mpower cover on an M50? or is it actually swapped?
It's clearly swapped look at the time and detail spent on this car.
-
I don't think it is swapped. I think the car was pretty nice looking at some time5-10 years ago. The PO bought it in 2013 and never drove it, legally at least, because the license plate stickers go from '13 to '18 with none in between and the title was a recently acquired replacement.
Maybe I will get a surprise but I doubt it. I haven't gotten far enough into it to see the stamped numbers. It has a 413 red label ecu but who knows what the Dinan chip is set up for. It does have a tilt wheel!
-
TB is a nice touch!
-
Make sure to hang your muffler properly folks.
Also route exhaust "as the crow flies" for best results.
Shining that beast up.
Pretty nice no name turbo, it just says "WSHH" on the exhaust housing. They must be rated by the sound they make.
At least I have all of this reusable exhaust mounting hardware.

Wow. Looks like you are in for a rats nest of fun!!!

I was working on the awesomely fun task of installing exhaust manifolds on a 24v engine, all 24 of them. I was able to see the VIN sticker on the back of the head. It appears to be the original. Bummer I was hoping it had been swapped long ago when a more caring PO had it. Oh well. I also pulled the plugs and they all looked nice. No cylinders steam cleaned...

My favorite part about e36 24v motors.
Oh, wait... nope. Got confused. They suck.

I've just been cleaning stuff up and making sure everything is ok-ish. The ICV hoses were shot so I ordered new ones and PCV hoses. Also ordered new orange intake gaskets for the intake manifold to head and to throttle body. I am putting my stock exhaust from my sedan on so I ordered new downpipe gaskets and donuts for the muffler section. Also ordered new NGK plugs because it had funky Champion ones.
Rockauto has coil boots for 4.37$ ea. The listed brand is "Prenco" but the photo shows Bremi so I will let you know what I get. It said wholesaler closeout
Total spent so far, 460$ for the car, 142.47 from FCP, 30.90 from rockauto. 633.37

It just said "93 M3, needs work". The auction was mostly farm machinery and was in rural MN. It wasn't that great of a deal, its trashed on the bottom from being so low, the door card fell off when I shut the door...etc. The rockers are rusted some from drilling and putting on the late model side skirts. Running and driving well it's probably worth 1500 max.

Front half of exhaust installed, TB installed. Looked at the differential tag, it's a 3.15 LSD. Might be fried from vape filled drifting for almost 300k miles though, I took Thursday off work so I should get a good amount done then.
I need to:
Plug the turbo drain into the oil pan.
Install intake
Install back half of exhaust
Fill with oil
Secure expansion tank
See if it starts
Get it on the ground without the springs falling out
Attempt burnout
