    S50 swap odds and ends and questions

    I am in the middle of swapping a 95 m3 engine transmission clutch into an 89 325i convertible.. I have been looking and cant seem to 100 percent figure out what drive shaft im supposed to be using.

    Parts i have:e34 oilpan, dipstick, pick up tube, oil pump, engine mounts

    Parts i need: Brake booster(preferably one i wouldn't have to modify), ecu adaptor/someone who can modify my harness, driveshaft to work with my 95 m3 tranny

    Im sure i missed alot of stuff but please anybody who has suggestions/ any useful parts for an s50 swap leave a post or send me a pm. any information or parts would be much appreciated!! i just wanna get my car ripping allready

    PM Gregslow here on R3v. He sells the wiring harness adapter making it plug and play.

    I'm not 100% sure on which DS you'd need, but if IIRC it's the late model small guibo verson? Someone else could probably clarify this a bit better.

    What diff. are you planning on running?
    Need a part? PM me.

        You should be fine with that, but don't expect much in the way of gas mileage.

          I have a dual chamber booster you can use, out of e32 735 like the iX booster. $100 shipped.
