But to be honest. Its a team effort. We all work together, some of us handle body, chassis and suspension. My colleague handles engine, electronics and drivetrain, and so on, We all help each other too.

Some parts. Dont have all pix tho.

Dont have original pix. But we ordered a rev counter (looks just like this) because the original engine was a 4 cylinder. (Originally its a 316i) so it rev counter still thinks it has 6 cylinder.

Engine setup. M50 rebuilt

Upgraded to S5x injectors
Upgraded to 3.5 MAF
New NGK Splugs
BMW head bolts
New Gasket

More details will be in the coming video. Will drop link soon

Ah! Finally some pics for us to feast our eyes on... I can't wait to see how this project evolves.

Baba drop pictures please ..I wan dey see something

Ok

Is this how much angle you get from a stock bmw e30 steering setup. Nahhh something has to be done.

Wsefab e30 kit ?
SLR angle kit ?
or are you Good with fabrication to make yours ?

So many options out there to sort out drift angle

Fabrication like increasing the tie rod length ? ..I'm just imagining

No. Shipped.

However I saw some at one shop locally.

That will only ruin your toe and alignment, but you can try and see. Best bet is to replicate exactly wats on a proper drift angle kit

Hmm. Lets see what we can 3D print for our project. Can you guess the part we 3D printed?

Found them ..I observed extra threaded holes on normal e45 where the lower arms are .I used to think those ones are for the x drive I didn't know something like this can be fitted there tbh

Nope nope ..dunno what that is

There are three points. Which are you referring to

you'll notice it's threaded ....
This is from a 318i .e46

That single hole you are seeing is for chassis bracing. There is a missing single brace that ties up the chassis frame rails for more reinforcement.

A is the stock one. (Which is missing on that car pix you sent)

B is a more robust design that also ties with the front sub frame. This is a much better reinforcement. (More tieing points over a much larger area)

I've never seen that bracing tho ..I'll try check it on the xdrive version .lemme see

Is this found in regular cars at all ..or it's an aftermarket thing ..
I've never seen it

There are on some e36 and e46. Just keep checking, and you will most definitely see it on convertible.

Regular
I have seen on coupe and convertible
