M50 and other goodies

[/\/\ III]

I am looking at doing the swap project, I saw a M50 from a 5 series...what should I take or what parts you need.

this thread's gonna go well.

Everything. Don't cut any wiring looms and take everything like ECU, Maf sensor, accessories. etc.
You have a complete motor that shouldn't require anything more to fit into the engine bay except e36 m5x engine mount arms and brake booster mods.

If you need any parts let me know, I have some of the parts already before I got the parts car...

You mean to tell me an engine from a 5 series will fit in my 3 series? You don't say.

I think he meant 7 series. That's the one he needs.

1994 525i M50

It has to be 2003+

Why would anyone put another old motor in an e30?

i thought m50's were m50's, is there some height difference or something 2003+

Leave it for someone that knows how to search. lol

2003+ M50s are a bit shorter in height so they fit a little better under the hood..lots of people have problems on their <2003 M50's because once they close the hood they forget how tall the motor is and it dents their hood in a little bit, though some people don't mind the look.

Hood scoop brah
