Welcome everyone. I picked up this 91 BMW 325i and will be documenting the progress with you cunts. As it sits it's a 2.5 liter straight six, autotragic, porno red interior, rwd sex machine.
Here is the car in question the first time I saw it.

Got a big box in the mail today. Should be everything electronically to convert the m52 to obd1 (- the o2 sensor) and hook it up to the e30.

Got a new radiator for a m42. I went with this because its a little smaller and it has a built in over flow tank that will eliminate the giant overflow tank of doom in my engine bay.
More progress
Thank you Sean Dysphagia for all your time and patience with my stupid questions. You are awesome and together but we got the motor out in 6 hours. Thank you to Turbo Dan as well for letting me use your hoist for the second time.

Drove 16 hours + 3 hours in Denver to get the new motor. Came with every accessory and sensor and a mint power steering rack for 3 bills. The new steering rack will change the steering pretty dramaticlly going from 4 complete turns end to end to 3.0 turns end to end.
The champion XB went 1100 on 4 tanks at 20 bucks each and the tank is still full. PS anyone who thinks stretched tires are unsafe can kiss my ass cause even with the car 2.5 inches off the ground not a peep from the tires.
just picked up a 98' ZF transmission from a 328i same transmission thats in a e36 M3.. another trip to Denver FTL.
Will update more here in a few
