I have a fully restored Alpina B9 motor FS. The motor came out of a B9 that was a total loss car (flood damage). It’s essentially a long block (no intake, no exhaust, fuel, ignition). It currently has an E9 oil pump and sump, which would need to be changed out depending on the target car. I say rest...

I need a diff vent cover (cast aluminum with a black plastic cap). Has to be from an early e24 with the side loader diff. Ideally this would be the vent cover with the pipe for the external reservoir but I could live with the non-reservoir cover too (USA models did not have the external reservoir). ...

I would have thought it most important if it was destined to go into a genuine Alpina car sure that would be best, but that's not the case. It will be installed in a car has a lot of genuine Alpina upgrades, but these were not done by Alpina at their factory when the car was new. If I could find a ...

Guys, I have an opportunity to purchase a professionally and fully rebuilt Alpina motor out of a 635. I do not yet know if it's a B9 or B10 variant. The seller has paperwork documenting the authenticity of the engine, and the documentation matches the internal parts (engine has been disassembled on ...

But I have a difficulty in squaring this with the recommendations of plug makers and the experience of others. I've been working on my own cars for close to 40 years and I would NEVER put a steel plug into an alloy head without copper or nickle anti-seize on the plug threads. TORQUE: all my cars us...

Need the "bow" (pn 11531277934) that supports the coolant bypass hose that goes from the thermostat housing back to the T-nipple near the firewall.

These are NLA.
Anyone have one they can sell me?

We have a rebuilt side loader diff from Metric Mechanic. /quote]

Sounds idea, but I'm almost afraid to ask what you want for it (MM rebuilds are usually big bucks).

I'm restoring an E9 (old 3.0l coupe) for dual-use touring and occasional track days and auto-x. I realize this means it'll not be optimized for either but I have a real race car for serious track fun. It currently has an open 3.64, and a stock 180hp motor. The powertrain will be upgraded to around 2...

Wtb side-loader LSD in a 3.07 or 3.25

Much thanks. I've been driving the car for 20 years, I've invested a significant amount in it mechanically, it's running better than ever and realize restoring it would be expensive. That said, does anyone have any recommendations for a shop in reasonable proximity to metropolitan NYC? Automotive R...

Not totally rare. A 3.07 is standard ratio with a dogleg close ratio gear box, They were in E3,E9,e12 and pre82 E24s. Going price or a good one should be between $450-$650 depending on how lucky you get That was my understanding. And, I've gotten some flack for the 265/5 dogleg CR gearbox being wea...

I'm afraid that may not help you though

Thanks but this is being combined with a 265/5 (CR 5spd), so I want the tallest production option which is a 3.07.

You might also post in MyE28.com. That's gotta be a rare beast you're looking for, though. It's an 'economy' ratio even higher than the usual standard E28 535i/is that was a 3.25. Finding one with LSD has gotta be damn near impossible. Good idea, I'll post a WTB there. I thought this was the most c...

I'm in the market for a 3.07 LSD (early side loader) that is known/confirmed good condition. I'm in the East, but don't mind paying shipping from the west coast. TIA
