Dude,
did you even look at the top of the fucking page? There are two threads that are stickies - meaning they are EXTREMELY relative to what ever the fuck your looking for. I suggest clicking on these first before doing anything else, they will help you. I promise. Don't just automatically make a new thread. Thats not what I meant in my previous post directing you here.



I'm not going to do this for you again.

Doesn't it seem like there's a new thread about people asking "whats everything I would need for an m50 swap" every other day? It's too funny.

Seriously though, next time try searching. Not only will it answer your questions, it'll answer questions you have yet to ask or think about.

The 1991 318i/is EDMs floating around are incomplete, but all the missing pin outs appear to be the same as late-e30 325's.

Here's a good thread:

I have this engine going in that car - do I have everything I need???

Absolutely impossible to put an M50 in a 318fall apart is. Car will literally fall apart with an engine bigger than a 1.8. These darned unibody machines are just garbage.

Why do you say that? Aren't 318i/is the same cars as the 325i/is/e/es except for the engine and some suspension components? I doubt bmw engineers would dumb down on a e30 chassis just for a 1.8.

If you are joking then please excuse me, if not, could you enlighten me on your conclusion? Thanks
