Bimmo... 1991 E30 318 with M20B25



 

and for myself... 1991 BMW E30 4door 318 with M20B25 L6 2.5ltr engine conversion. it supposed to make 125 kW (168 hp) @ 5800. 222 N·m (163 ft·lbf) @ 4300 rev limit 6700rpm. but i supposed now it would make alot less than that.. its nothing impressive, but better that the 80KW original 1.8ltr M40 engine... 

 

this car came with AUTO box which is on the car... and the manual box, which is in my garage... sitting there. waiting for me to have enough time and money for it... Razz the previous owner convert it from manual to auto... he called that an 'upgrade'... i dont think so... Sad 

the auto sucks... yes, its good on jakarta's constant traffic jam... but i it would be no where near good as the manual box in terms of responsiveness... 

 

the car came with: 
1. all the 325 gears from front rear brakes and rotors, diff, suspension, 325 exhaust and most electronics 
2. M steering wheels. 
3. retrimmed leather interior... shaun would love this plush leather... lol 
4. auto and manual box. 
5. remus muffler *sigh* 
6. shitty 16x7 all around alloy wheels. 
7. minor defects for a 1991 car... Razz 
8. the 318 m40b18 engine. just in case i need to get the 1.8 power back Razz 

the car have few problems of course... but nothing major and i can fix that on the way... thats why its cheap... Smile 

the main things are the body is straight, paint is good, engine running strong, mechanically good. it hits 220kmh on highway back from picking it up... jakarta on NYE is almost dead... all the highway to myself. i ended up circling around inner highway ring for a while till i almost ran out of petrol... haha 

the problems are: 
1. the power window at the back are rusty so often stuck 
2. need radiator flush... the old owner use water... not coolant.. and its moulding on the plastic tank... lol 
3. left head light is off 
4. door hinges need grease 
5. the odometer doesnt work... i checked and found that the plastic gears in the dials lost some of its teeth... 
6. shit tyres and wheels... 
7. need alignment bad!!! pulling to the left... shaky, and not stable at all 

so i brought the car to the alignment place near home and look at what car that goes there... o_O i was shocked... the service at the place doesnt cost a fortune... i dunno whats with all this cars... 

   


the next step is to fix the odometer and did a services on it... i dunno how long that oil has been left in the car... the car looks like it hasnt been driven for a while...
