z3 m-roadster engine same as m3 engine?

03-04-2007, 06:35 PM

Are they the same? I'm talking about a '99 M-roadster engine. I've read they are S52 but I don't know if they have something different in the mounting of stuff, or the engine mounts themselves.

What about the tranny?

Thanks!

They are the same, except possibly for the length of the wiring harness.

Same shit, the wiring harness lengths will be a little bit different. If you get it for a good price go for it.
