    Japanese Spec 1991 320i Convertable

    Hi there I was thinking about picking up an imported Jap Spec 320i auto convertable and throwing my s50 w/ ZF tranny in there... is there any differences between doing this swap and the swap into my current NA 325is?

    I have all the basic parts for the swap, still waiting for an adapter to be built but how about other items? Any differences in the wiring harness? I am assuming its a small m20 engined car (320i), 5 speed swap doesnt look like it would be to difficult since i will be tearing everything out anyways...

    Only thing I am concerned about is the wiring, anyone with a Euro or Jap spec car please chime in...

    TIA

    I dont think it would be that different. Let me see if I can get some diagrams.

        I'm in the process of putting an S52 in to my euro 323i, and I haven't run into any notable differences yet. My car was older, so it had the square style C101 but all the wires matched the ETM.
