[@TheNorthernmunky]

Brilliant work Joe

[@WTButtonDo]

Looking good man, sounds like its a good upgrade to make.

[@JoeBradley]

Thanks mate! Can’t wait to give it a road test !

[@neiljackson5137]

Nice work Joe. 👍🏻

[@JoeBradley]

Thanks mate!

[@restorewithcal]

That’s ace mate, might do that on mine at some point!

[@JoeBradley]

Thanks mate! Can’t wait to give it a full road test and see how everything works out

[@restorewithcal]

@@JoeBradley it’ll be ace, won’t feel far off a fully gated box now haha

[@JoeBradley]

@@restorewithcal yeah I’m hoping so! The old engine and gearbox was so sloppy. The steering was like sailing a boat too. Just want everything stiffened up and tight 👌🏼👌🏼

[@lukekennedy5350]

Very nice shifter setup. I'm planning on mating my getrag240 up to my m54 but unsure about what that'll involve at this stage.

[@JoeBradley]

Thanks mate, it feels good! I’m unsure as I haven’t really touched getrags. Good luck though mate

[@onesikm3]

The dssr look like it’s touching the flex disc just barely

[@JoeBradley]

It was, the shifter has a thread for adjustment

[@onesikm3]

@@JoeBradley oh nice did yours self clearance too like mine ? 😁

[@cmack4life]

what size guibo and driveshaft are you using for the e30 driveline and clutch kit

[@JoeBradley]

Stock guibo, driveshaft is z4 front mated with a e36 328i rear and. Clutch is the dual mass for the m54

[@Worldwidentertainment290]

What brackets can i use and engine mount coz my bonnet wont close?

[@JoeBradley]

Using e36 engine mounts with e34 rubber mounts I think!

[@salehmohamed5557]

How's the vibrations of the shifter? Unbearable?

[@JoeBradley]

Haven’t really noticed it

[@ChelseaMay]

Great video 👌🏽

[@JoeBradley]

Thanks 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@drayescobar9469]

Reppin from Jamaica 🇯🇲

[@JoeBradley]

@@drayescobar9469 yeah man it’s all good, shouldn’t be jacked up! And love it my guy 🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@wiwjdnd1989]

Alright mate. Quick question, what fuel do you use for your e30? Do you use any additives or anything like that? Picking mine up Saturday but can’t find anything on fuel

[@JoeBradley]

Not with the M54, just use fuel from shell or BP, I dont use supermarket fuels

[@timsintim3346]

where did you get the shifter from pls?

[@JoeBradley]

Can find them on eBay mate or other sellers on google

[@timsintim3346]

@@JoeBradley thanks chale

[@JoeBradley]

@@timsintim3346 no worries mate !

[@gespinal0301]

One step closer!

[@JoeBradley]

Hell yeah man! That’s the motto 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@30wagn]

Really enjoying your videos! I’m planning on doing same M54B30 swap with GS6-37BZ which is exactly same setup as yours. Just wondering how you mounted the trans. Did you make custom mount and crossmember? Also did you have to shorten the selecting rod? Thanks man!

[@JoeBradley]

Hey, glad your enjoying them! Got a few updates on the way! Yeah I made a custom crossmember & and the selecting rod is significantly shorter mate !

[@30wagn]

@@JoeBradley Awesome mate! I will probably go for the same chassis mounted shifter and DSSR that you made, just seems so much easier than modifying other shifters. What material did you use for fabricating the crossmember? Do you have a template or picture of it by any chance? Cheers mate! :)

[@JoeBradley]

@@30wagn yeah the chassis mounted shifter and dssr was easier than modifying any oem parts… and it’s made from some flat bar stainless mate. I have a picture for reference but can’t send pics on here :)

[@berkebozkurt8233]

solid car mate, i plan on m54b30 swapping my 318i ive followed your insta as well, what 6 speed trasnmission have you used?

[@JoeBradley]

Thanks mate. Appreciate that! 🤘🏼 I’ve used the GS6-37BZ mate
