Alot of wiring diagnosis which was all fine. Ended up being that the battery had enough of a charge to turn over well but not enough for the sensors to start

Little bit of fire wall massaging the biggest problem for me was I had the transmission support backwards and and spent a day before figuring out

Wow.. that was a real cut to commercial kind of break. Fill us in on the details.

How did you support the rad at the bottom? Firewall bashing.. massaging.. or none? Issues along the way? Wiring?

Long time since an update but got the engine in and running still need to hook up exhaust and fans

[330icrazy]

Did some cleaning of the engine bay today and cut the radiator suports and bent them down.

Those look like Good&Tight mounts.

You are correct.

[TimeMachinE30]

Take lots of photos and notes... i will need to reference them one day.


Good luck!

trans/shifter/driveshaft?

Working on a workable combination for mine.
Good luck on the swap!

I believe that the trans is out of a E28 535i and I have read the 325 drive shaft will work. The shifter is a short shifter not sure of the make. Working on the engine bay now cleaning it up and painting it black, then comes the fun of gettting everything to fit.

awesome!
what mounts are you using?

you're going to likely need to bash in that firewall a little bit...

Not sure who made the mounts they came with the swap. where does the firewall need adjustment?

Looks like you're off to a good start!

So I bought a 88 325 with a complete m30 and all the necessary goodies to do the swap and after driving the car for a year I am begining the swap!
