    ZF 320D Five Speed for V8 Application $500
    540i Brake Setup, includes booster and OE brackets $200



    This is a well-thought out BMW V8 swap for the E30 chassis. Everything that is listed in this post is included. I am including everything to complete the swap as an OBD2 swap OR OBD1 at your option. I cannot separate the parts at this point in time and would only entertain doing so IF the M62B44 itself sells first. Price is slightly negotiable and only very slightly at that. I've spent almost $6000 on all of this stuff and am offering it here for significantly less.

    Here goes:
    -BMW M62B44 with 90k miles. Compression tested at 210-215 psi on all 8 cylinders. Some oil leaks (I’m including gaskets and seals to address all of this)
    -New Turner Motorsport Chip for M60/M62 OBD1
    -BMW X5 Exhaust manifolds (both sides, unmodified, Garagistic offers a service for this or you can do it yourself)
    -New Wilwood Pedal Cluster (with pedal sensor)
    -New Wilwood Master Cylinders ⅝ bore X2 (for brakes)
    -New Wilwood Master Cylinder ¾ bore (for clutch)
    -New Garagistic WIlwood/Tilton Booster Delete Pedal Bracket (powder coated)
    -New Garagistic M60/M62/S62 Engine Mount Arms (powder coated)
    -New BMW X5 Oil Connection Flange
    -New Victor Reinz Gaskets and Seals for M62 (does not include head gaskets)
    -E34 530i M60 engine harness
    -OBD1 Harmonic Balancer
    -M62 Engine harness x2
    -M60 OBD1 Lower Timing Cover
    -BMW 404 DME for OBD1 M60/M62
    -BMW DME for OBD2 M62

    Choose your transmission option:
    -ZF-320D Five Speed Manual Transmission for BMW V8 application, clean fluid.
    -New TTV Racing Lightweight Flywheel

    -=OR=-

    -Getrag 420G Six Speed Manual Transmission for BMW V8 Application, condition unknown, it drove to the scene of the accident.
    -USED OE Flywheel

    Price is $4000 for this complete swap.

    If you elect to purchase the swap without either transmission and flywheel setup, the price is $3000 firm. For those who select the five speed option, I will throw in an E36 328is driveshaft to complete the package a little more. That driveshaft is not listed up top because it may need a new universal at the diff end of things.

          A few items are left to the builder to select.

          Motor mounts, different options here.

          Radiator, I would recommend the OEM Z3M three row radiator or equivalent

          Electric fan, if you decide to go that route, although I know of at least one vehicle in a hot climate with only the A/C fan. He isn't running A/C though.

          Driveshaft, if the buyer selects the five speed option, I have an E36 328is D/S I can include but if I were using it I would want to redo the rear universal because it is stiff.

              I would entertain parting out in logical groupings. Check the original post for updates.

                            Whaaac, you will need to make the upper gasket between the top of the ciming cover and the head work. some use a little RTV to seal this up better.
