Bought this last weekend. M10 Auto, nothing special, totally basic, no electrics, central locking or comfort features.

Well, after I got back from work, it was out with a bucket and sponge.
Took a broom and pan just in case
Paintwork is still flat atm on the passengerside as I couldn't be bothered anymore today.


After washing it, it was back inside with the bucket, oh and broom and pan, no rust to pick up
Bit of bufty action.

Only T-cut so far, but happy with the results.




Roof came out well



And then started to strip out the interior, ready for the M3 rear bench and Recaro LS's, M3 Tech 2 suede steering wheel and gaitors.


Waiting on the Hartges atm , not had time to chase my mate to see if he's done all the sets.

More bufty action after work.
Had to do the bonnet, and passengerside, my bloody arm is killing

Anyway, pics of the bonnet first.


Next, I thought I would clean the scuttle areas.



And finally, the passengerside from this


To this


Engine will be M30 with this gear on.
Here's a quick pic of the ITB's I have.




Anyways, todays action.
Hope you all approve.

Cleaned the sunroof area, looks pretty ok, better than what I expected





And also changed the seats over, after a mate had been over to install an alarm.






After a good clean and wash, went out with the missus for a bite to eat, and thought I would take the Chromie out. Looks

good work on the cleaning looks good.

Thanks.

Todays action, picked up the Hartges, tyres on and now it's started to p1ss down .
All I need now is to go fill her up, give her a quick wash, and away in the morning to the German car show.

Excuse the 4x4 ride height, but tha'll be sorted out next week.

Nice e30!
Exhaust is hanging a bit low?

Standard M10 crappy exhaust

Rav

Is it a carb M10 or EFI?

Jim

Carb Jim, it's all coming out including the autobox when I find another engine for the conversion.
Shame really, as it hasn't missed a beat going and coming from Beaulieu today.
Saw Mark to in his Silver M3

I'm thinking of starting to collect M10's again - power upgrade for the slug might just be snail shaped, but using my carefully built high compression 2L motor would be a bit of a waste when I could flog it to an 02'er and use ANother engine in the slug. If this motor is in good nick, give us a shout when you get it out.

Engines definitly in good nick, no smoke on start up, or on the motorway when you kick down in gear.
Doesn't run rich, had the co's done for the MOT, even though it's not needed, and has a genuine 83000 miles on it.
Like I said, it has really really surprised me on how smooth it its for a 4 pot.

looks good mate, id look out for the black number plate surround for the back tho

Have one already.
