This #e30 finally got some TLC!! Let me know if you want more E30 content by liking and commenting on this video! Don't worry we still have more projects in the background waiting for their time to shine ;)! Thanks for watching and supporting as always!

As an owner of two E30 I really found this interesting. I did my driveshaft center bearing , but the conversion and sump reseal was fun to watch .

17:20 that's what we call the "Slimer Ooze" in the VW world. Shits expensive about 60.00 for a tube, but works great on cork, and just gaskets in general where you don't want a solid, hard seal.

All the BMW you guys do is great! But IMHO the dream build would be the famous yet never over done S54 into E30 swap! From what I have garnered that set up is truly one of the greatest parings for engine to chassis. The power along with the E30 weight and suspension, size etc makes for one of the best driving cars EVER! I have the engine and the trans LSD etc. But not the E30 LOL.

The south African 325is and 333i versions of the e30 fetch stupid money this side. And the looks of these models is even better!!!! Our 325is was our special edition since we did not get the e30 m3 this side. :(

@31acruz 2 года назад

Don't forget you have to get it aligned now, that's why it was not tracking perfect on the test drive. Also, you forgot to tighten the sway bar tie rods 'under load' not while hanging on the lift. Other than that, great video!

Hey! i am on the fence of doing a manual swap on my e90 n52 any tips or advice?

@ShopLifeTV 2 года назад

E90 manual swaps are pretty straightforward and luckily the parts are still readily available. Double check to make sure you have everything before you start including grommets/connectors/wires. Its best to find a donor car and strip everything out of it, plenty at the LKQ and Pull A part yards. Also you can check on RealOem.com for any parts that you need and for diagrams (just input your year and model but enter "Manual" when asked for trans)

@ShopLifeTV 2 года назад

A lot happened lol Most of my viewers didn't show much interest and I got swamped with customer builds while I was waiting on parts for the C10 so customers ended up taking priority. Finishing up the last 2 customer builds right now before I can pick back up on the C10 along with our other personal projects. I will probably just post major updates on the C10 instead of filming the whole process.

@seanshepherd6767 2 года назад

How much do manual swaps cost the bank 😬

@ShopLifeTV 2 года назад

It honestly depends on how much other stuff you want to do with it. For example, the cheapest Getrag 260 you will find for the E30 is going to be close to a $1000. Clutch and Lightweight flywheel will cost you another 800 or so. E30 manual driveshaft and pedal set will cost you another 500-1000. So just in parts alone you are already going to be close to 3500-4000 with all of the maintenance items and other odds and ends. It all depends on how cheap you are able to source everything and most shops/individuals will also charge you for sourcing parts if they are not readily available due to how much time sourcing can consume. Every situation is unique so it is hard to put an exact number on it, but you get the idea.

Hey ShopLifeTV, would you be interested in owning a 90's 8 series BMW with a V8? I found a silver one for 24K and it's still up for sale.

@ShopLifeTV 2 года назад

Hey! I would love to pick up an e31, but it would have to be cheap since I would want to do a drivetrain swap and bring it up to modern performance. At 24k i'm assuming its in pretty good condition, so it would be only right for someone that wants to enjoy it in stockish form is able to get it.

@Ayixlia 2 года назад

@@ShopLifeTV I think that's the cheapest I found besides the 18K one in black and that got sold last week it was a V8 auto.

@houseofno 2 года назад

Be very careful. These E31's were all low production vehicles, and the vast majority of the owners could NOT keep up with the maintenance on them. On an E31 priced that HIGH, I expect to see EVERYTHING - all keys, brochures, papers, and absolutely all current maintenance records. Three words for you: SCHEDULE TWO MAINTENANCE. This is the 100k maintenance schedule, and it costs a BUNDLE to do on these cars. Expect to pay $10k and UP to have this done PROPERLY. If the seller can't remember which president was in the White House when the car had its most recent oil change, RUN.
