i want your steering wheel!

[StrictNine87]

@soccerisdabomb18 It's the standard steering wheel in an e30 is.

@StrictNine87 Nope. It's an M-Tech II. It was never offered on any E30 in any factory trim. Here's a guide to common E30 wheels: rtsauto DOT com/e30-steering-wheel-options­/

@StrictNine87 it looks a lot nicer than my fat e36 standard wheel. your wheel looks a little different than my brothers e30 325is. his have slightly sharper edge and no rounded lump above where your thumb would go lol

I just bought my first BMW. (E30 M42) Which engine is the M52B28? I'm still learning the BMW jargon. That acceleration is amazing BTW.

[StrictNine87]

@jordub It's the engine in a e36 328i, bmw only claims it has 1 more hp, but it has way more torque. It's basically in between a 325i and an m3, it gets the m3 short shift and clutch.

About how much are you putting to the ground? I am looking to do the M52 swap. How much did that six speed cost you?

[ilivonsports]

This is the exact setup I want! How much did it run you?

[shocko69]

5ish seconds to 60 without an abusive launch. Nice.

[gverelli]

Have you ever dynoed it?

[fa1k0n]

The engine is an M52 (24V DOHC inline-6) with S52 cams and software. Rev limit is 7200RPM.
