      You want an e32 or an e34 motor. Correct oil pan. Get the gen 3 motor m30b35, has 208 HP and 225 TQ. Chipped will be 250 HP and 260 TQ.

      Welcome to the next big swap, before it is big lol.

            Im in Ohio, is the motor pretty complete, estimated miles?


            also is there a m30 swap parts list somewhere, and anyone know how hard this swap it is?

              since i've never done the swap i can't say...but from what i've read (and you should too) it's not terribly difficult

              there is great write-up that has helped me



              good luck to ya...now back to getting me an engine

                    Just read that entire writeup and WOW, so detailed and the swap doesn't seem to be terribly difficult if you just have time. good luck with your swap, i won't be able to do one for a few years sadly cause my car is my daily.

                            supercharged m30, duh.

                            you'll be the first one to prove it doesn't fit ;)

                            j/k, good luck man!
