Add Another 5spd E34 BMW Touring to the Ranks

This was last weekend's project...









All I can say is wow it’s a whole new car. Took a whole weekend but in my opinion defiantly worth it. I'll be doing a complete write-up in the coming weeks.....

Look forward to it and subscribed.

one quick question, I take it you are still on the lower 4.10 gearing based on parts pictured.

Did that throw off your speedo or affect your highway mpg?

Any plans to change to a 5 speed diff?

Nope 4.10 came out and a 3.23 went in - As you know that 4.10 would have been way way too high for my daily highway driving.

At this point I still have the cruise control to finish - otherwise nothing very difficult. I'll have it all in the write-up. I did not remove the relay others have mentioned.

Sweet!! Nice job.

My '92 525iT is sitting in my driveway right now with a dead slushbox- I'll be doing this soon (I hope)..... I have the donor car all ready to go, just need to make the time to do it.

While you are at it, swap in the S52 you've sitting out there....

That is brilliant! I like the way you make it sound so easy, like anyone can do it!

I fear my torque converter may be on its way out and I am at the crossroads of do I replace it OR do I replace the whole trans with a manual. The mechanicals are OK, its the electrics that make me shiver! I had the dash off once and couldn't believe the number of wires, in my old escort there were 2!!
