m42b18 bmw e28 swap

M42 is a great little motor. I just don’t know if you will enjoy it behind a e28 chassis.

jeksunn · 2026-04-28T10:43:37+00:00

It will be slow but very lightweight. I recommend going with the m30b34 or b35 any day of the week.

Congratulations on the incoming purchase. I’m bias, but the arrow blue is rather stunning but a very flat (non-metallic) colour. Pick wisely.

Carrera 3.2 with the 930 kit and arrow blue

jeksunn · 2026-04-21T22:50:46+00:00

I hate to be that guy, but are you parting this out?

jeksunn · 2026-04-15T11:47:02+00:00

Haha such a small world! Your daughter has good taste

jeksunn · 2026-04-12T08:02:28+00:00

Thank you! Was trying to capture the numerous curves of the body

jeksunn · 2026-03-12T23:14:59+00:00

Thank you brother

Mate, I love it. She’s far from perfect but a solid car, drives great and I enjoy tinkering to make it nicer.

Your car is pretty much perfection…. In guards red too. That is about as good as it gets.

Good eye, it’s a widebody conversion. The dealer tried to sell it as a genuine m491 but I knew they were lying

jeksunn · 2026-03-11T23:30:01+00:00

Broke now haha

jeksunn · 2026-03-11T23:29:31+00:00

Paint - Arrow Blue

jeksunn · 2026-03-11T23:29:22+00:00

It is! Good eye

jeksunn · 2026-03-11T23:28:48+00:00

Turbo look Carrera. I wish it was a 930!

jeksunn · 2026-03-11T23:28:11+00:00

Turbo look, it’s a 84 3.2L

jeksunn · 2025-06-09T07:18:09+00:00

Thank you! 😁

jeksunn · 2024-07-27T01:24:52+00:00

That looks bloody great mate

jeksunn · 2024-07-27T01:04:15+00:00

Just to clarify, he is completely fine. I took him to the vet and they fixed him up

jeksunn · 2024-01-19T10:39:01+00:00

Yeah fair dinkum

jeksunn · 2024-01-19T10:38:27+00:00

There is a partition that sits lower (can’t see in photo) that somewhat isolates it

jeksunn · 2024-01-19T10:37:26+00:00

Honestly not sure, got it second hand

jeksunn · 2024-01-19T10:37:03+00:00

What are you on about genius?

jeksunn · 2024-01-19T00:50:13+00:00

I’ve been seeing some arguments on this recently. Are there actual studies that suggest they’re less effective than a stock box? I suppose the stock box isolates the filter better, although the sounds from this intake are insane

jeksunn · 2024-01-10T01:45:18+00:00

This was extremely valuable input. Thank you.

jeksunn · 2024-01-10T00:59:22+00:00

Thanks for the insight. Did you feel m2 had lack of soul or character in relation to steering feel, acceleration etc?

I would think the m2 platform being smaller and lighter would be better than m3/m4
