Thanks Simeon, that's correct those are Solex, I had Webers before, I got them mixed up.

 

You use these?

Here's another mock-up

fifteen52 wheels, white bonnet and trunk. How about that?

If you ever need something I have a good friend in Legnica. He's a Mercedes guy but knows his way around BMWs as well. 

 

I'm sure others will correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like it was originally an automatic car as the tailpipe cutout is in the center.

I have had a pair of Solex PHH side drafts on my shelf for years that I may get around to fitting eventually. The later styles of Solex and Mikunis are good carbs. Very popular with Japanese car owners. I think some 'builders' like Alpina and Heidegger used to specify those carbs over Webers at various times. If they are in good condition and you have all the jets you will be pretty happy.

Thanks Simeon for info

 

winstontj If you don't mind, you can send me the contact details of this guy.

 

Anybody can confirm that only automatic cars had center tailpipe cutout?

[TobyB]

Nope, only later cars had a center tailpipe cutout.

 

 

 

 I have a 5-speed transmission from E30 

 

I can think of at least 3 4 5 different variants on the 5- speed transmission that went into the E30.

And I'm sure I don't know about half of them.

 

WHICH 5 speed are you proposing?  

Post a pic-

The 1.8l M10 5 speed works fine, it just lacks a speedo output.

The M3 5 speed might also work.  If you don't mind cutting the tunnel.

The M20 versions probably won't.

I think it's a modified M3 5speed, because it won't fit that easily, and we are going to cut the tunnel.

 

I will be at the shop on Monday, I will take some photos and let you know.

Oh by the way, thanks to jmr_1602 I got to know that the original colour was Bristol, paint code 058.

Give me a vin number and I'll tell you something about the car.

I've got 5 speed from E21, and fits well.

 

Probably you have Getrag from M30 engine. 

 

And I'm in Rzeszow

The E30 never got the M30- but the M3 trans is similar to what was behind the M30...

...and yes, the M30 trans bolts up, but doesn't fit so well in the tunnel!

Still didn't have time to visit my car in the shop

 

I hope that after New Years I will have some new photos.
