Got armrests back and they look very nice.
Im looking for e39 528ia to take engine and transmission for this.

I will get the engine this weekend.

I'm having hard time finding E38 728i m52 oil dip stick tube which should perfect for this. New one costs a bit too much for my taste.
Back on the road summer 2199?
Been fixing E65 lately. First starter broke down and now electric fan. Without it ac did not work. So money that was itended for this when't in to "dailies"
Let's see how it turns out after some wash and polish.
Turned out pretty nice.
Valve stem seals replaced on the B28. Next step is to do the rod bearings. Then put new timing guides in and timing cover with new gaskets back on. Then it is pretty much ready to start swapping the engine as many parts are needed from the old engine so cant really do more for B28.
I will also use cam trays and new lifters from M50. So... let's turn it around.
Gotta get plastigauge and install new bearings if clearences are ok.
Also ordered F30 335i front brakes (someday have to do something about rear brakes too, easiest would be 540i rear brakes but they are hard to find and expensive) and Alpina Classic 18" replica wheels. 235/40R18 front and 265/35R18 rear.
Currently working on my friends E32 750iL to change engine, after that hopefully it's time to do this one.
Test fitted new brakes and it is 10mm spacer all they need to get caliper to be in center with brake disc.
You can get those calipers new with carrier for 25bucks, so much much cheaper than E34 540i calipers.
So it will get 300x20 discs rear.
Upper main bearings looked like new, but these are things "while you are in there"
