hi guys! i got a donor car for my e30 swap. Its a 2000 540i 6 speed. The car runs and drives. I live in California and I plan to swap over all the body harness and keys. I was just reading online about the driveshaft needs to be custom made? May i get some more info on that? The car has a 420g getrag 6 speed transmission. I will be using all the parts off the car and the mounts would be easily fabricated. What I am missing is the info on the driveshaft and engine wiring. I guess like all engine swaps, the only modification to the wiring is the one that connnects the engine to the body but since I am using the whole body harness off the e39? I would also be considering swapping all the electronic components of the car to the dashboard that way I can pass CARB with flying colors. I noticed that these engines are not that great to mantain but I am willing to do all the work myself so i will be saving a couple thousand bucks for myself. Thanks for the replies if I get any. I will update this thread as it goes on but for the time being I still need these 2 information.
1: Wiring
2: Driveshaft.
My e30 is a 1987 325is, the engine currently overheats and theres a lot of white smoke coming out of the tail pipe. I purchased the car from an insurance auto auction and the car was previously put into sale as a donor vehicule so i knew something was bad with it.
Any opinions or info will greatly help me a lot. I am new to this forum and some guidance will be 100% appreciate. God bless all of you thanks!
