Please read the thread, that offer Paul gave you was before they had the garage sale. As you can read a couple of posts back:

In my case the transmission mount bolt was too close to the opening in the slot, so that didn't feel safe enough for me, but as with most things on these cars YMMV. If the transmission mount bolt is a bit offset to the opening, a "washer" solution would be neater.

I fully agree that the CK mount is a way better and nicer product. But for anyone looking to cheap out like me, another solution is to make your own mounts/adapters out of a piece of flat bar. First weld a threaded rod/bolt without the head to the flatbar for the transmission mount (drill a...

Just to clarify my previous post, the '84 is NA, the '86 is a Turbo.

The white one has a snail that makes funny noises on the exhaust ;)

VIN swapping was possible at least over here in Finland in the '80s, but when that was done, a car got a totally different VIN than the original VIN, but this one seems to have another BMW VIN, which is very strange and gets all the alarm bells going. I would look for another car even if it's...

Exactly, the front springs I use are E12 H&R, the rear springs I use are some random lowering springs I found at a friends shop, since the rear E12 springs won't fit the E9. But IIRC the E12 rear springs should fit the E3. As to the other part I wrote in my old post, I've driven several...

That isn't the original VIN numbers, where are the ones pictured located? The original VIN is stamped on the firewall, on the right side: And looks like this:

Because lowering the front won't result in a whole lot of negative camber.

The fixed (non adjustable) camber plates adds 0,5 degree of negative camber.

Continuing this thread, anyone installed a sr444x in a CSi? Any problems with the solenoid hitting the water pipe under the intake? I got it installed but it's pressing a little too much on the pipe, so I'm considering to find another solution. Does all sr444x have this problem, or is it just my...

Here is also @JohnFBD 's S54 swapped e9 build thread: https://e9coupe.com/forum/threads/2800csa-restomod-in-oz.23897/ Discussion regarding the S54 swap: https://e9coupe.com/forum/threads/s54-drop-in-good-bad-and-ugly.23200/ I'd stay with the M30 if you're not totally sure about what you're...

It's a really big project. First question, are you planning to do it yourself? Does the S54 oilpan fit with the e9 front subrame, my guess is that it wont fit. You'll need to figure out a new brake system, as the stock booster and MC probably won't fit. Don' t know about the steering, you might...

Hi guys, I had a couple of hours free last weekend, and with the e3 hanging on the lift waiting for other parts I thought I should give these brackets a go. This was unfortunately not very well documented, as I didn't really think I would get it kind of right the first time I tried, but it...

Yes, less unsprung weight is the advantage.

These are the ones I use on both e3 and e9: https://www.ebay.com/itm/363584995175?fits=Make%3ABMW&hash=item54a75abf67:g:6OsAAOSwy8Ze7m2z There are adjustable plates on the market as well, but the fixed ones have worked great for me.

No, I haven't done anything to the fenders myself. The upper part of the front fender lip is pointed a little bit upwards and not quite parallel to the ground, but then again I don't know how they looked from factory. The car is currently sitting on -40mm H&R springs and fixed negative camber...

This is how 215/65R14 looks on a 7x14" wheel.

No Way! How cool aren't those, now I need one or two for my kids... (yeah, yeah, mostly for myself) :D

Here's a better picture of that window sticker from our E3, it seems to be the same sticker.
