Fairplay Paul you have done one hell of a good job! I have the same job todo on my 3 series E92 320D M sport, but i am going to purchase the subframe with bushing online! The getting the subframe out worries me the most as i havent got a clue!

Funny you should say that as that's exactly what I decided to do. I think the answer for next year is to do a couple of other series on an Arrive & Drive basis.

this doesn't look too bad. maybe the posibility of the conttol arm slightly ground down would increase the risk of it failing, but i don't really think it was worth replacing, unless it was bent, which, from my limited undrrstanding, it didn't seem to be.

@PaulOffordRacing 12 күн бұрын

I have replaced it now. I think you're right, though. It probably would have been good for years, but I just don't want to risk it. Another issue was that a chunk of the dust boot was missing, and so dirt would have gotten into the joint.

Hiya Paul. Interesting video as ever. My tuppence....forget about modding the 116 and either plump for getting another vehicle or do some sort of car swap with someone you can trust. Storage on the second vehicle would be less than all that faff plus (importantly) your 'time cost' of switching everything around from month to month. Just pick a timeless and versatile car for roadsports which you can sell or rent out whenever youre not using it and you'll probably be better off net by the end of it all. Just an outside perspective in case youre tunnel visioning it all a bit.

The N46B20 engine has Valvetronic. So it will be quite a lot of work to fit it in the 116. Unless you can lock the valves at full lift, and not use the Valvetronic at all. Might work, BMW has put the rev limiter on Valvetronic engines to 6500 as it is a bit fragile. However a n46b20 bottom and a n45 head might do the trick, and be very close to the N45b20 fitted in the 320si.

You indicate a N46B20 engine and mention the 120i. It also came in the 118i. The 120i has the more powerful engine with around 170 hp and the 118i with the same engine has around 145 hp iirc. Same engine but I think the difference is in the engine management and injector size 🧐 I run a 118i with the N46B20 engine with a header (from Russia, bought on EBAY in 2019) and a custom-built larger-diameter exhaust system with sport-cat, resonator and an Eisenmann backbox. The difference in power compared to the stock exhaust is noticeable. Your best bet in my view therefore seems to be the N46 engine with some mods. Keep us posted.

I'm pretty certain it's the opposite of that. The spring apply a small amount of pressure so that as the clutch wears the adjustment plate rotates.

You can fit 15" wheels that are lighter and tires are cheaper. I am using BMW Style31 wheels. They just barely fit. I just grinded like 1mm of from the rod ends lower corner for extra safety. Front brakes. You can use 286mm front discs with ATE calipers- this way E36 325 front racing pads fit (good selection and cheaper prices).
