I've finally got the W123 out of the garage and driving. There are still a lot of things to do in terms of finalizing this project but going for a ride in this thing provides some gratification for the early morning hours spent in the garage over the past months.

The first few rides are always the best! Now shake it down on a long road trip... I think you know where to :) Awesome work!

i found your channel through your om617 to 240d swap peachparts post. Love the builds man, keep it up.

@kfinez32 Год назад

Thanks! I'm purchasing another 240D next weekend and will make some more videos. This is going to be a fixup/clean/refresh job. No crazy swaps on this one.

This build is really nice, wish we had more content on what it took to fit the engine and trans in 👏👏👏

Car looks great Kyle... You still have your green G-Wagen? I still have the silver E500 Wagon I bought from you, running great with 210k. Keep the beat...

@kfinez32 Год назад

Still have the G. It's a forever car I think.

Lovely project! It's my dream to do something like this. How did you do the propshaft, connecting the 37dz with the w123 diff?

@kfinez32 Год назад

Amazingly the BMW front shaft section has the same splines as the W123 rear section so they just slide together. I had a driveshaft shop shorten the BMW front section and am using the stock W123 rear section.

Hi Kyle, I'm looking to buy an 03-06 w211 and having trouble deciding between an m112 and an om648. You're the only person I know who probably has extensive experience with the om648. My biggest consideration is low cost of ownership and not having to spend my weekends working on the car or having to fix things. Wanted to know what your opinion is

@kfinez32 Год назад

I think the M112 is a solid platform and probably has lower cost of ownership. That engine shared many parts with others (m113). Both the M112-113 are cheap and readily available at local pick-n-pull lots. Anything for the OM648 will be harder to find and unique to that engine here in the states especially.

Who mane your stand alone ECU? This is my dream build

@kfinez32 Год назад

I've been tuning the car myself. It's been a learning process for sure. I took courses online from HP Academy for common rail tuning. There is a good facebook group for Baldur's ECU and studying existing factory maps from different vehicles as well as reading technical papers on common rail injection.
