I'm sure someone will know the answer. It's either new idler pulley bracket or I need the alternator bracket and power steering pump from the M44 AFAIK. Although I'd love to hear other suggestions! | | | 05-28-2012, 04:43 PM | #18 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: NJ Posts: 106 | If you flip the bracket (would need to weld the bung on the other side), would that make up for the difference? __________________ Mods: DASC, NickG Stage II DME software, 30# injectors, RRFPR removed, DISA Simulator, Secondary Air Pump relocated, bypass cooling hose removed, Fogged airbox, Bosch silver sparkplugs (F6DSR), Magnecore sparkplug wires (KV85), SeattleCircuit mpg adjuster circuit; Textar CeramicFusion brake pads; S/E/M auto trans selector with Euro software TCU; Royal Purple trans (MaxATF) & diff fluids; Koni FSD (F&R); Rogue RSMs; Strong Strut; Butt Strut; Bridgestone Fuzion ZR1 225/50/16 on Style 42's; hardtop; Footwell lighting; Interior lighting On/Off switchable; Euro intermittent wipers; Padded LeatherZ arm rests; Sisa Design Cabrio Wind Deflector; | | | 05-28-2012, 04:55 PM | #19 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Henrico, VA USA Posts: 231 | M42 and M44 idler brackets are different I will check and see but I think that is an M44 bracket mounted to an M42 motor right? If so then you need the other bracket. I will check for you if you clarify the mix of parts and motor that your trying to fit.

After looking on realoem and cross referencing parts it was discovered it was an M44 bracket.

Best place for 4 pot info, and DASC info. DC12 is the aim, and definitely pictures as well! I may have something worked out before a new bracket arrives. | | | 05-30-2012, 09:17 AM | #22 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: Leeds, England Posts: 133 | Looks different to my M44 bracket, as it has three small holes on the LHS, although I know they changed the design. Wouldn't be too hard to make up your own bracket, and no need for a welded bung, just drill a hole in it and use a couple of spacers. Just make sure everything is square as otherwise the belt will slip off all the time! __________________ Supercharged 318Ti | | | 06-01-2012, 04:17 AM | #23 | Junior Member Join Date: May 2012 Location: Miami, USA Posts: 14 | Can someone tell me the differences between a 318 and a Z3 (both M44) DASC kits? I know intake elbow is different, anything else? I'm trying to buy a 318 DASC kit and fit it in my 1997 M44 Z3 with ASC Thanks! | | | 06-01-2012, 05:55 AM | #24 | Member Join Date: Jul 2011 Location: Northampton, UK Posts: 35 | Quote: Originally Posted by denglish318ti Looks different to my M44 bracket, as it has three small holes on the LHS, although I know they changed the design.

I'm test fitting the M44 parts later on as DA have basically said because they don't make the kit anymore there isn't a great deal they can do. Hopefully after swapping the alternator bracket, alternator and power steering pump over everything should line up.

Someone on another forum bought a kit from a Z3 for his 318is and had to relocate the battery into the boot. Doing it the other way around *should* be fine though. | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
