Decided to pull the guns out yet again ... snagged up yet another bmw ,this time an e34 m5 ..i only intend to use the engine and drivetrain for my dream project ..s38 stuffed’’ into an e30, the plan is to replace restore every single nut bolt seal gasket bushing bearing everything with extensive detail .. so far I began with the throttle bodies. top of engine working my way down, engine harness ..everything getting restored, .carbon intake in mind ...should be fun , enjoy!
