Its not an e21 but my Pops insists I post this...

Another one from my dad, in New Orleans...

attachment removed

cameltoe? hahaha, that's what i wanna be if this pilot thing doesn't work...professional laytex/paint clothes maker :D (except i don't do dudes....chicks only :P )

uberpanzer:
-the s14 crank does work, but i hear that it has to be shortened (lenghth wise....i think at the oilpump sproket area) to fit in the m10 block. and u'd have to get custom pistons & rods.
-the oil filter housing (which has a built in thermostat to use with an oil cooler)
-the starters are said to fit the m10 (as well as being smaller in size...which is nice for installation & removal, especially if u have an 80-83 320i)
-head gaskets are nearly identical (some coolant & oil passages differ slightly)
-and it's possible the chain tensioner pistons may be similiar (i'm not quite sure about this one tho).....altho, if that is the case, that means chain tensioners from m50/2, s50/2, & 740i's should also work in the m10 since they work in the s14.

the starter does bolt in, is lighter, smaller, and more powerful. Faster cranking

:eek:

i remember that :D ....nic's car is just off the left side of the pic in the garage getting the rear LEDA's installed.

checkout this one....this was from a little meet we had in phoenix last saturday (the weather was crappy, overcast & a little bit of rain :( )...but sure had some fun in that huge parking lot at the base of the mountain :stickoutt

Are those four or five-bolt wheels? If so, do you remember where the five-bolt conversion and new wheels were purchased from?

4 bolt and correct offset believe it or not!

Yea that was in the restore process, that rear valence was a bitch we tried to cut/shave/bondo and what not but to no-avail. The body shop had an english wheel thank god and someone who actually knew how to use it. So they just cut it completly off and made a new one from scratch:eek: :eek: :eek:
Heres one more with the old Rotaspeed wheels 205/16/40, and yes the offset was correct, diving boards, and 22 year old paint:buttrock

sorry crappy pic again...

slick.. looked good back then!

where is everyone getting these four-bolt correct offset aftermarket wheels from? :confused:

is there some secret e21 club i have to join that i have to give my left testicle to as part of some weird initation ritual? :dunno

how'd you find out about the testicle thing? :confused:

There's no secret club, just have to be willing to spend the bucks (like Blitzed did, I'm assuming). Or make the right friends. I purchased my MiM 15x7's and Exim 14x6's from a good friend and fellow E21 gentlemnen in Colorado. The wheels are out there... you just have to really make an effort to find them. The roadfly classifieds are good for that kind of stuff.

read read read.. they are available/// i know someone with a set of the 15" alpina lookaikes off of a 323 the staggered set actually if thats what youre looking for... i personally would give my left testicle for a set of 15x7 BBS rk,rs 's .. mmmm

cj, haha, did u goto jesse james for the english wheel? (saw him using that on tv....that thing looks like it takes lots of experience to use it correctly)

dammit, i may be joining the single-nut club when i get my rims. :( LOL

oh yeah, here's another random pic (not quite the car, but it WILL be a part of the car soon :D )

Those wheels above are still available, Made by Rotaspeed and the model is Aztec. Yea Nic this was back when I was in high skool making 5.25 an hour at "Burger Palace Cafe":buttrock and I got the wheels for a cheap price cuz in reality they are cheapo wheels, $700 for the set including BFG Euro T/A

Damn Jason those are ganna kick some ass.... details?....

little late here are some old pics, well a year old getting the new pain and new paint on.

more

Last one

///ME21: what muffer are you using i like that look! something different than dtm!
thanks in advance

cj, they're ground control coilovers (7" 350lbs front & 8" 250lbs rear)....not quite true coilovers like nic's LEDAs since they're the sleeve-over type. they will be going on with a set of koni adjustables :)

attila, dam, that's one extensive paint job....hehehe, wuts up w/ the license plate on the car in the 2nd pic? (lol, been driving around sporting the primer color? :D )

The muffler is from e-bay its a reums look a like i think, The plate was put on cause shortly after the pic we were going to get it painted.
