The celebratory, NOTHING IS LEAKING!!! Is something all us can appreciate!

[@quentinrance8974]

Nice work fellas, I love seeing these conversions and all the detail that goes into making them successful. Keep it up. BTW, get rid of the Bernie sticker and you'll pick up another 5 hp.

[@38bmxboy]

I own the same car with same engine.. I know everyone wants a clean car but there is something so satisfying about pre facelift "rough" look like this 😁 Btw with turbo you can push this engine up to 400hp reliably on stock internals I love your videos man, keep it up

[@derkm]

Haha yeah man! I feel like it's because you're less afraid to drive it harder and not worried about damaging a lip or something 😂 or you see the potential of what it can become. But yup! Turbo would be the way to go whenever I think I need more power!

[@ChewChellios]

derkm thats an m50b25

[@Euroaddiction87]

I also a have 1987 325e. Love the build currently have my engine out and can’t wait to get it running again

[@SwangBangCo]

Boy that sounds beast

[@BuildsOverdose]

We have the same car model. Same engine swap. If I move to the US you're the first one I want to collab with 🔥🔥

[@derkm]

Ayyy hell yeah man!! 🤟

[@brady5829]

Oh man that letterbox transition with the music fade-in @ 3:16 was sick. Great work dude

[@derkm]

Thank you man! I appreciate you noticing the details 🤟

Nice dude!!

Thank you buddy!! 😁✌

[@the_unbelievable8968]

Awesome video!

[@derkm]

Thank you!!

[@davidshitakha5864]

Where can I source a the mat for the dashboard?

[@bigjermparadisetrucker7236]

Tight video. Relate to the "common swap but feels good to own" feeling. Good tools to invest in is a coolant pressure tester. Pressurizes the system so you can find leaks that you wouldn't see when running. Btw what song was that when you were over heating. Sounds familiar but i cant come up with the name.

[@atteblo3303]

I need to get me a set of BORBET A's .. love them, got borbet T's at the moment but they just aint the same :D

[@TheComedy97]

finally, i have been waiting :D

[@derkm]

Thanks for bein patient🤘🤘

[@user-hg2sm6wq6v]

Pls do the cost reveal for the swap!!!!

[@EFNLOTUSDRAGON]

Damn my $300 e30 sedan sounds just like the one at the beginning(Sammy’s). I thought the motor was hurt but if you guys said it’s ok Ile probably just sell my mini truck I was building to boost and boost the e30 I fell in love with. New sub!

[@derkm]

Hahah yeah the M20 motors are known to have a "sewing machine" type ticking noise. A valve adjustment will help reduce the noise but it normally still lingers. And that's dope man! Thank you for subbing as well 😁🤙

[@Ebzyy__]

I told you i would buy an e30, and that’s what i did. 1989 bmw 325i coupe, turbo inc soon as i get the money

[@derkm]

Hell yeah man congrats!! Excited to see how it turns out and hope you're lovin it so far man 😁🤟

[@olavopg12]

whats up man ! sweet build. im in san marcos and im finishing my s52 e30 swap and bbk with e36m3 parts up and alot of other goodies! would love to check your car out and do some car stuff sometime!

[@derkm]

Thank you man and that would be dope! Shoot me a message on IG - @derkm. Would love to check out your build as well 😁

[@kratu6625]

is sammy’s e30 needing a valve adjustment?

[@derkm]

We did a quick valve adjustment on it and it sounds better but it can probably be a little bit better 😅

[@CarlosJimenez-ip1ms]

I have a '84 E30 with M50B25 No Vanos swap, I'm still finishing it. 😁 Cool swap for low price as you said.

[@derkm]

Sick! Definitely worth if you've got an m10 or even an m20b27 in my opinion 😌

[@CarlosJimenez-ip1ms]

@@derkm Before doing the swap I turbo the M10 and stroke the m10 to 2 liters (originally 1.8) and it was running sick, after a month or so the cylinder head blew up and here I am finishing this beast.

[@derkm]

@@CarlosJimenez-ip1ms ahh damn I bet the m10 turbo was fun while it lasted! Time to boost your m50 now 😏

[@CarlosJimenez-ip1ms]

@@derkm I felt much more power from that turboed M10 than the M50 (stock) but I find more reliable the M50, I'm collecting the parts for the turbo M50.

[@derkm]

@@CarlosJimenez-ip1ms ahh I see. I'm sure when the m50 is boosted, itll be crazy quick 😎 we'll see how long my m50 stays NA 😅

[@BuildsOverdose]

Also what camera and lense do you use? I forgot to mention that we also have the same wheels lol "Borbet Type A (Classic)"

[@derkm]

Oh damn haha same cars pretty much 😂 I mainly use a Sont A7rii with a Canon 17-40mm f4 lens for these build videos

[@BuildsOverdose]

@@derkm Ayyyyyyy thanks ma dude. You da best lol 🔥🔥

[@bombakdik]

The Sammy e30 engine sounds actually very bad. I think it is not only the valves, but connecting rods or crank gone. Already told I am a new subscriber. I asked about the balljoibt separator. Only halfway the video, will continue watching. How exactly do you get the master cylinder out? Do you need to block oil lines in order to prevent oil spillage? Greetings from Belgium!

[@kewingrabowski6760]

Bro how did u connect the wiring loom

[@derkm]

I cut the e36 m50 wiring harness connector off and spliced in an e30 m20 wiring harness connector (c101 plug) so that it connected to the e30 chassis wiring harness. Lots of diagrams online and its alot easier once you have the wires in front of you 😁

[@Brandon-wn5js]

I know this is an old vid but what wheels are those and what size are they

[@derkm]

Yoo! They are Borbet Type A's 16x9

[@JD-ml7cg]

m20 ITB plus turbo = less trouble

[@Standstrong_dave]

Bro wht computer u run on E30 Turbo

[@derkm]

On the turbo e30, I'm running a kdfi ecu which is a clone of the megasquirt v2 ecu

[@johdoh6182]

anyone know any reasons why the anti lock light stays on??

[@derkm]

I have no idea why to be honest 😅

[@thesneak281]

Is your car swapped? Pin 20 of the c101 needs 12v for the abs to have power.

[@jessegarcia9825]

Dope what part of cali you around?

[@derkm]

Ty! And San Diego 😁

[@freddy2521]

Are those borbert A's 9x16 all around or do you have 7,5x16 in the front?

[@derkm]

They're 9x16 all around 😁

[@freddy2521]

@@derkm did you pull the fenders?

[@derkm]

@@freddy2521 Very slightly for the front but mainly just rolled

[@MitsulliOn]

can you make a video of wiring the fan?

[@derkm]

Most definitely man!

[@kirilchuk]

I like the wheels , where can I get them

[@derkm]

I found them on Craigslist but I believe you can still get them new online! They're called Borbet Type A's 👍👍

[@northeastgiants775]

What do you do other than KZbin do you have a 9-5 as well? Sick build bruh

[@derkm]

I'm a freelance videographer but will be moving to a full time position somewhere once the whole Covid stuff settles. And thank you! 😁

[@christophergarcia6221]

Hey man glad u got the car back and it's looking bad ass. But I was wondering what wheel you have on the drift car and what are the specs on them. Good work!

[@derkm]

Thank you man! And they are Borbet Type A's 16x9 et24 with 10mm spacers all around I believe

[@TheFireworkfreak16]

Since M50’s are getting terribly expensive here, I’m thinking of swapping an M52B28 in my E30. What are your thoughts about that engine?

[@derkm]

I would totally do an m52b28! I just would get one with single vanos so that you can swap it in and keep it obd1 and not need to do obd2.

[@TheFireworkfreak16]

@@derkm Thanks for your response man! Gonna start looking for a single vans M52B28 now ;)

[@derkm]

@@TheFireworkfreak16 do it man! Good luck with the shopping venture 🙌

[@ethandizonn]

I want an e30 sooooo bad but I can never find ones in good condition worth buying without the price being through the roof for me :(

[@derkm]

Ahh I feel it man! Takes patience and you gotta be constantly looking on Craigslist and Facebook everyday since the good deals normally get scooped up super fast. This car might be for sale soon if you're interested though!

[@Mysz_Ofi]

Its m52

[@MrZoranbebek]

it is m50b25tu,iron block,m52 is aluminium block.

[@cars-math1430]

men, I can't wait to build my own drift car. I gone use a maserati just to go out of the box :p i'm going to post videos of it while building it. if you sub you can see the proces when I start :)

Dudeeee, its M52.....

[@derkm]

I've been told it was an m50b25tu which is just the m50 with single vanos. It came out of a buddy's e30 but I guess it could be wrong o; pretty sure it's an m50 tho

[@olavopg12]

@@derkm looks like a regular m50b25 out of a 94 and under e36, with an s52 oil filter housing

[@stevereyes3008]

It is an M50 you can say by just seeing the engine valve cover..
