Half a year ago a bought an 1985 e28 m535
The car was salvaged and i bought the chassis
The idea is to get it back on the road again with the m30b35,
Then build in the new engine management system, upgrade the injectors and fuel system. Then add the turbo and ic.
So i can learn to understand the management system whitout the turbo first.
Here the pics of the car from the last owner
Because parts are expensive and wanted, he sold the car in pieces.
He took out the motor,gearbox,cardan axle, Speedometer.
interior,bilstein springs and shocks, wheels, mtechnik bumper and wings. Lights and so much more
I didnt care for the engine because i wanted a m30b35 from an e34.
As you see on the first pics, it doesnt seem to rusty.
Here some pics without the plastic.
So it was quite crispy
I bought a mig and i welded some metal into it.
I bought a mtech bumperkit.
17"Rondell style 58
M535 speedometer.
E31 alu brembo front brakes
new koni yellow front shocks.
some used Bilstein m5 rear shocks with mtech springs
Powerflex black bushings front and rear.
And not to forget the m30b35 with getrag 260 overdrive gearbox, harness and motronic
Because of the mismatching engine mounts i made my own , as you can see i used the four boults on the engine.
I installed the engine and wired it to check everything
This was a bit challenging because i didnt have the old cable that came out of the fusebox, and i had to wire directly to the wires in the fusebox. Some colours where different than the counterpart.
But after one small mistake it worked out fine.
Here some more pictures for the rest of the vehicle.
This week i will get the welding ready, i already took off the rear axle for cleaning and changing the bushings. It improved the welding on the rear beams also
