    Need detail photos of engine bay of 87 M20 motor install for reference
    I under estimated the complexity of my 5 speed swap. I removed the motor and after re-installing it, I have NO idea where everything goes. Very foolish on my part, as I've done this to 2002's many times but they are a lot less complicated. So... does anyone have a good set of images of mainly the wiring harness, small brackets on the intake side, cables, vacuum lines, etc.?
    Not much can be found on line, so if someone out there has taken "before disassembly" photos, or can send me to where I can access this info., I'd appreciate it.
    The ideal situation would be another stock mid 80's 325i with an M20 motor that I can use as reference, I'm on the eastern end (north fork) of Long Island NY.
    Thanks.

      A bunch of the earlier photos in here might be of use (I.e. near the very end).

        Use Bring-a-Trailer. Photos there are usually wonderful.
