    s52 swap help needed!

    Hi, I have recently purchased a 1990 325i auto that had the timing belt snap. I bought it to do an engine swap. I had also been looking into buying a wrecked e36 m3 with an s52 and a 5 speed. I need some help with finding out how to swap the engine over while using the most parts possible from the m3 and e30. The reason why I need the help is because I hear everyone saying that you should/need to convert to obd1 specs. I didn't know if the engine will run right in the e30 if I keep it obd2 or if its just preferred. Thanks in advance for any tips/advice when swapping/help. This is my first swap and Im hoping it will go well.

    I suggest taking the time to read the 24v swap thread...



    But, no, you wont need to swap to OBDI. You can have the DME setup to run OBDII. Read that thread, then come back to this one with some more specific questions you have.
