    Positive.. The bad m60's were replaced with alusil m60's. I had a 540i that had an m60 that was replaced under recall (the majority of them have been swapped) and I looked into swapping an m62 into my e34, which is a good bit of work. Someone could've swapped an m62 in, but not BMW.

        It's definitely an m60.. But I wouldn't pay near that much for one. What trans are you planning on running with it? If you're wanting a 6 speed thats going to cost you another grand, so keep that in mind

          I wish BMW put m62's in place of the m60's when they did the recall. I'd be one lucky SOB. All I got was an Alusil m60b30. F.

I am not it a rush to pull this off but would like to start getting everything i need. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks
            740i harness computer. motor mounts. how much research have you done? sounds like a fun swap though! good luck.

              There's always at least 1 v8 in my local junkyard you
              could probably get for under $200 complete on a holiday (half price)

              This is southern California though. :(

                Good price would be around 1000-1500€ with transmission and ALL the parts..
