Welcome!

[@lloydgriffiths1847]

this happens to not only be an incredible achievement but the best exhaust sound I’ve heard! I see the tips say miltek, can anybody tell me the full exhaust set up?

[@SALVAGENATION]

Its just the miltek tips. Literally just straight. Sports cat, all silencer removed and the stock back box. On these car you need not waste money on the big exhaust companies

[@javierbristol6320]

Great job but wouldn't it been easier to rebuild the m140 breaker instead?

[@SALVAGENATION]

Nope. This is salvage nation. Always up for the challenge plus can never put a cat b back on the roads. Its for breaking parts only. Hence cat b

[@bluesky8872]

I didn’t know that the facelift tailgate/lights fit on the pal shell! Also the B58 fits in existing mounting positions!

[@SALVAGENATION]

Yes. Same shell same subframe and the engine sits on the subframe. All the same

[@bluesky8872]

@@SALVAGENATION I have an M135i with a seized engine, crazy that a B58 is cheaper than an N55 by a fair amount! Guess it just shows which one breaks more...

[@sowbener]

Was it not easier and cheaper to fix the donor 140i car?

[@JestaBl1tz]

The Engine alone is twice that amount here without a box or ecu/ loom. BMW stuff Down Under is BS $$$

[@jamesgibb2172]

Amazing work but I’ve just one question. Why did you buy a 118 instead of just buying the 140i and repairing it

[@SALVAGENATION]

this is my second m140i, i didnt want to pay full price now i got a second m140i for under 7k

[@chrisraju-s6h]

monster vid fr good work

[@SergioAlves-y6p]

Cool project but it's a bit disingenuous to suggest the cost was just 6 grand. That's only true if you consider the work and a fully kitted out garage free. How much would you say you put into this time wise? 50 hours? 60? 70? 100? Even if we low ball it and say you, as a qualified mechanic with his own garage, were willing to work for 50 quid an hour stripping a car down to bare bones and engine swapping the other (which you wouldn't, you'd charge a lot more) some quick back of the envelope math tells us you didn't actually save much money.

[@azzr0464]

What did you do for the fog light is there anywhere for it to go on the m2 bumper ?

[@SALVAGENATION]

No m140s dont run fogs

[@azzr0464]

@@SALVAGENATION what I mean is the 118i has fogs do you just bypass them ?

[@Sr_Roukmout]

IS that an E87 or an f20 ? Cause my mom give me an E87 and i wanna do thé conversion but idk if the m140i " body kit" will feet on it cause m140i IS a f20 ans my 118d a e87

[@sul5501]

Could I do this on a 2012 BMW 116d ?

[@SALVAGENATION]

You can do it on ANY f20/1 chassis once u have the parts mate.

[@CharlesWilliamson-nx8qj]

Would the suspension from the 140i fit into the fitment on this car??

[@SALVAGENATION]

Yes i said it

[@CharlesWilliamson-nx8qj]

@@SALVAGENATION yh just had to rewatch again, the because I’m asking if the suspension mounts on the 118 are the same for a 140i, but after watching you drill a bunch more holes and dropping in different parts I’m guessing not🤣 My friend wants to fit 140i kit into his 120 but was unsure if the coils would fit on.
