E30 M50 tear down kinda thing
-
I will make my front-end removable one of these days. I didnt even need an engine hoist back in high school when I swapped a 2.0 16v into an 85 Golf. I simply rolled the engines in and out on furniture dollies. The I6+transmission reaches some pretty steep angles on its way in and out of an E30 otherwise.

Just drop the front subframe,
That's what we used to do on S13's.. So much easier. -

Did you get that 1/4" head gasket I refereed you to?

Went with a 4" mls gasket. I want my plastic fuel rail cover to stick out of the hood.

Frickin NICE!
I have the Turner calendar too. I bought the E30 calendar from Condor last year, definitely a good purchase/office decoration/conversation piece for all the damn Buick drivers.
How much did the M3 wire cover and new core support cost?
Yeah dude, free calendars rock. Im considering buying the e30 calendar for this year, it looks awesome.
The core support was $100 shipped off ebay and the wire covers were like $22 a piece off Penske.
