I have an 89 318is brilliant rot with 59,000 Kilometers, German car, trying to import to Switzerland, the extensive work put in to bring your bay back to new is insane, its a credit to you!
oooo dude,this is a big big job,congrats more congrats,reborn this vano and engine is impressive and long video is perfect,more thanks and best wishes with your Bmw.
You know, i got my e30 318is from a guy, and he called me after one year, asking me if i could sell it back to him... This is a classic car that you should keep, whatever it takes. Get it back if you can!
Hey Pvm, do you still have this car ? I have a white one sitting in the garage. I want to put a Z3 rack in it. Already done a DBilas intake collector upgrade + ship, short shifter, 540i brake system with braided lines. Would love to meet you guys some day I am from Mechelen.
Hello. This was perfect rebuilt. May I ask a question? Is it legal to change the engine (swap) in Belgium? Because I have an E30 1988 1.6 but it has carb engine. So, I wanted to change it but my country's rules don't allow it. I just wanted to know this.
hi what kind of piston did you changed due to oversized engine block? did you also changed the cylinder head parts with aftermarkets product or the original?
Hi Denis, The pistions are OEM BMW +0,25mm oversize (KS). nl.bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/E30-2-doors/Europe/318is-M42/L-M/sep1989/browse/engine/crankshaft_pistons/ Part nr.: 11251721448 The cilinder head is bought second hand, all new OEM parts (camshaft, gears, valves..)
Dear, can you please tell me in which garage the cleaning process has been done? I know Arsa (1440 Wauthier Braine) but it seems to be somewhere else. Thanks in advance. ++
Geachte, (want heb gehoord in de video dat je nl talig was :-)) Awel waar alle motor onderdelen in een soort water hooge stroom reiniger tafel gewassen zijn daar. 2.28 in de video :-). Alvast bedankt. Mvg.
Thx man. als je wilt ooit alles reviseren (dikker pistons of zo in zetten dan mag je bij Arsa gaan te wauthier braine) en voor de camshaft daarvoor mag je bij recam gaan. fijne week en mooie project by the way. ++
Bedankt! Jawel, nog steeds in mijn bezit en komt (enkel met mooi weer) ook nog op de baan. Ondertussen nog tal van dingen aan gedaan. Is er ergens info te vinden over jouw revisie?
zeer goed te begrijpen ! netjes ! Zoals? Ja, m'n maat, de eigenaar houd alles in een mapje bij en zal waarschijnlijk ook wel iets monteren als hij af is. ik denk dat je hem kent, rocky. Rijd ook al maar nog wat prullen ...
hi i am about to purchase me a 325i i know absolutely nothing about cars but I fell inlove with the 325i i would like your help in building up my dream car PLEASE
If you want a fast car, you don't buy a standard E30. I searched 9 months for my IS and had to had one because I am charmed by the model. 6 In line's are for the 5- and 7-series imo, E30 M3 was an 4cil. as well though (.. the never ending discussion..). And in the days the 318is was my daily car, I had an average consumption of less then 8L/100km so it is quite economical for a petrol engine from 1989. The E30 with the most modern engine and maybe even the lowest consumption of all E30's!
Speed is just one factor in performance. The M42 is lighter, which translates to a more even weight distribution, which in turn increases handling. If I'm not mistaken, it's the most technologically advanced engine that was put into the E30 chassis.
Hey, ik rij zelf ook met een 318is en ben aan het overwegen om een rebuild van een motor te doen? Als je het niet erg vindt, zou je mij wat info kunnen geven over kostprijs, waar je het werk hebt laten uitvoeren, etc? Zou me heel erg helpen want er is bitter weinig te vinden op fora over het herbouwen van deze motor :-)
Quasi alles is terug te vinden op het net, zeker in de USA. Meeste werk heb ik zelf gedaan, motorbklok laten heropbouwen en wat andere kleinere klusjes heb ik her en der laten uitvoeren (injectoren reinigen, straalwerk, elektrolytisch verzinken van de kleindelen..) Kostprijs hangt er net vanaf wat je allemaal wilt doen.
