Just introducing myself here. Picked up a clapped out e35 last week. Needs a lot of tlc. I couldn't pass it up at 500 bucks. The m54b30 in it is solid. About the only good thing going for it. Pretty sure it was rebuilt or replaced by how clean the engine bay is compared to the f'ed up interior.

Here's a vid..... it's not edited and I'm not very good with making them. So, watch at your own risk.
