I bought an 325is a couple months ago with the inentions of swapping an m60 into it. After having a couple mishaps with the m60 I had I ended up scrapping the idea and I think I'm going to just fix what I have.
The problem is I bought the car because the body and interior (except some wiring issues) is in pristine condition however the motor is not.
The engine is running but not well, it has a bad idle,trouble starting. The PO mentioned putting a 525i head on it because the previous one was junk. I took a look under the hood a couple weeks ago and noticed "2.7 eta" on the cylinder head.
The car has no exhaust on it (cut off before the cat).
Not sure what intake manifold is on it. Is there a way to tell or can I get a part number off it anywhere?
the MAF has a ford emblem on it. I did some research on the internet and it looks like a ford MAF interchanges with the BMW of the 525i.
What do you guys think? I don't want to sell it because i hate dealing with people on CL. and would prefer to deal with mechanical issues rather than rust issues.
