Here ya go

Copy and pasted from that link:

E34 525i oil pan, oil pump, dipstick
E36 engine mount arms
E28 motor mounts
E34 throttle cable
E21 brake booster

These are only the basics, and some may be substituted for other parts. People find cheaper/better parts to use all the time, but the above listed are the common parts that the majority of people use.

parts

seriously...YOU NEED TO SEARCH this info..........there is no excuse not to......


then you may have specific ?'s......which all of us will be glad to answer.

I did a swap 8 mos ago......I spent HOURS and DAYS reading up.......no, weeks!


get with it.....newbie or not.

Even when you think you've found everything you need, you haven't. There is no COMPREHENSIVE swap page - at least that I've found yet. It's all really good information in bits and pieces scattered just far enough out of reach....you'll have to search. You will know the right questions to ask when you dig into the car.

[mohamadr89]

Oh trust me I have been doing research it's just that I find a lot of different ways to do it so I just asked to get more ideas I guess. I'm going to start the swap really soon so I will keep everybody updated on what I run into. So u said u did a swap around 8 months ago, have u taken ur car to the tracks yet to test the 1/4 mile?

I'm popping in simply to see where this goes, for entertainment purposes only though.
