I did some research and most of you agree that the TCD m30 sounds like a great plan.

First, Where can I get a good used m30 and transmission? What other parts will I need to convert my m20 to the m30? Any good write ups?

Second, I would love to see some pictures of your m30 turbo setup.

Thanks!

Anyone?

sorry.. don't have any info for you, but let me know if you want to get rid of those mirrors.. Id like to have a set.. I could trade the M5 style mirrors and some cash..

Pictures of said mirrors, I'm interested. I don't really like the look of mine anyway.

Of course, some of it will not apply, like you can use E34 M30 engine mounts.

sources: I got my engine from Bav Engine Exchange and my trans and engine harness from Strictly German. The total was 1300$.

Ok I wrote your username down and I'll let you know if I decide to swap.

Anyone have any pictures of the m30 TCD? I know there is at least one member on here who has done it.

Did you look on the TCD website? They have several, as well as dyno runs.

I did poke around but all I could find was e28's. I'll look around a little more.

The E28 uses the M30 motor, too.

I've got a TCD S-2 setup in my 92 535. I'll try to post some pics when I get it back together...hopefully soon........
