kid2002

Don't think my 02 will be running by them unfortunately. Any way I could join and shoot some photos in my E30 or E46? Would love to meet the local 02 guys! Paolo

Ahhh, been hearing a lot about this show. Excited to scan through your photos when I get back to a Laptop. Thanks for sharing!!

This happen to be the green one that's been on CL for awhile? Very nice. I'll keep my eyes peeled for you. Preference for roundie or square tail?

Dez, yes. I use Tapatalk App to post photos from my phone. I have an android. PM me and I can help you figure it out for your iPhone.

Bump! Thanks for sharing guys. Loving this thread. Very good idea.

Wow. Very cool build. Love the paint and the simple paint scheme of your M20. Thanks for taking and sharing all the photos. Like others have said, this is very inspiring and i'm sure it's a kick in the pants to drive. I plan to do the same except with a G260 (E30) transmission.

Great info in this thread!!

I know this topic has been beaten to death but most the info on the subject (at least what I can find.) is REALLY outdated. I just picked up a 1976 Auto 2002. The head is trash. Block is rusty. I'm an E30 guy. I know M20's pretty well, and actually just finished up a 2.7i (325i head on a 325e block and pistons.), fresh clutch kit, lightened single mass flywheel, M50 Injectors, and Motronic 1.3. Currently that engine is in a pretty ratty E30. I'm ready to get rid of that shell and throw the M20 into my new to me 2002. I've been dreaming of building this car for years, and now this 2002 finally fell into my lap. (Got it for free. ) So here's what i'm looking for. I'm used to a thriving community of Enthusiasts. I'm used to R3Vlimited.com and E30tech.com, Tons of current/new info on the new and old swaps and common issues! This message board seems to be the best so far i've found for the 2002 chassis and I like what I see here. Who's done this swap? Who currently has one and drives it pretty regularly? What info about the M20 swap is just hear say and what is the actual truth? Buy mounts or make my own via the PDF file i've seen floating around? G260's, how much work is needed to make them fit? I'd love to take as much as I can from the E30 and use it in my 2002. I want to avoid having to shorten the driveshaft and i'm okay with doing some modifications to my trans tunnel. Just want to keep things clean and well thought out. So there is my welcome. Happy to be here, and very willing to learn. Thanks for your time, Paolo PS. I'll post a photo tonight of what i'm working with. The car is an automatic. I have a pedal box and four four speed transmissions. haha.

I'll be sure to read that! I'm doing as much research as I can and M20's are nothing new to me. E30's are my forte' (I've got a 91 iX, and 87 325e - 2.7i). Any idea what he's charging for a set of these? Do I need a custom driveline or can I use everything out of my 87 325e. I literally just got the car yesterday. No head, and the block is trash.

Very interested in getting my hands on a set of these elusive M20 engine mounts. Sent Chris an email and also and looking into other options. Sounds like this is something that's been beaten to death, excuse me, but i'm new to the E1O world.
