    I've got probably over 1000 hours into mine so far and it's still not completely done yet. Much more involved than a 24v/m30 swap- theres a lot to be fabricated.

    Yap, it's doable. Though with M62 you need to hassle with the electronics a bit more as it has EWS II so you need the key, EWS ring and EWS box from the same car where the engine came from.

    Check out the showroom thread including build pictures at my signature, i guess they'll clear the swap problems in best way.

    M62 Swap

    Hey guys,

    I have an opportunity to pick up a complete M62 w/6spd and wiring from a '97 540, but want to know a little more about what would be involved. obv i'd need custom mounts, radiator, brake booster, driveshaft, tranns tunnel...but can i just yank the whole unit out (engine, trans, wiring) and drop it in my E30 after mounting modifications? i've tried to read the e30.de site but i'm confused navigating it. for those of you who have done this, please let me know what quirks are involved before i get in too deep.
