WTB: 24V/M54 swap parts

[KaiserRolls]

Enjoying the influx of 24v e30 things lately

[HipMF]

Looking forward to seeing someone taking the m54 plunge. Let me know if you have any issues with the electronics end of things. I'd like to get my hands (keyboard?) dirty on one of these...

If you are interested at all, I have an e39 530i that I would like to sell whole. Downsides are an automatic trans and the engine has a knock (PO hydrolocked it). I bought it with plans to fix it and flip it, but I don't have the time. It will run and drive as is. I understand it's not really ideal, but please PM me if you would be interested.

I appreciate the offer, but I just don't have a place to keep a parts car so I'm really just looking for the parts I need

Decent price for mount arms, other people are charging 100+

I believe I have a drivers side mount arm still sitting around that you can just have. The mount was seized to it so I needed to replace it in the coupe.

Thanks for the tip Snap! Put in an offer since it was an option, never hurts to ask haha. Earl, I'll definitely take you up on that if I don't snag those arms.

Thanks guys!

Got the engine mounts arms for a good price, thanks snap!

I texted that guy with the harness last week and haven't heard anything, sent another and PM'd him on BF.c, so hopefully I hear back.

You helped me find an engine so here's some payback

[m42b32]

The guy with the e39 harness sold it a while back, bummer...

[Dominic540]

No problem! Just figured I'd throw it out there.

Edit: Tried quoting your post to reply to it, won't work for whatever reason.

2.93 in madtown. price is high for that ratio, IMO, but maybe you can talk him down.

Hadn't seen that, thanks for the tip! I did some thinking/research on ratio's and based on my intended use of the car I think a 3.23/3.25 will be the best for what I want, so I'm going to hold out for one of those

Who knows, maybe after i'm up and running I will want a nice S3.73 to replace my S3.25. You are welcome to pit maneuver me for it

S54 fuel pressure regulator housing on the way, list is getting shorter!

[m42b32]

Oil pan sourced. A lot of what is remaining could come from a manual 530i being parted out, let me know if you see one in a junkyard or being parted out!

[m42b32]

Bumping this up in case anyone comes across anything I need, list has been updated and is getting shorter!

[Tkuhn]

Message me I may have the harness you need! Or text is easier!
