540i to e30

[318lotis]

this may be a silly question, i inherated a wrecked 540i, would any parts off a 540i fit onto a e30 two door?

[Alkasquawlik]

you could swap the engine.

[vivalegreg]

if and only if...you had a set of balls...you would take that hopefully intact drivetrain and swap it in your e30..

tis what id do, and many others

with losta work and welding.

Everything fits everything.

If it is a good runner, I have a 530i auto that you could buy for parts, or sell me a motor?

keep in mind if you are wanting to do this in an E30, you need to use the V8 remote braking system. No firewall mounted booster will allow clearance.

What style of 540i? E34 or E39?

[stegosaurus]

If it's an e34 you could do the dome light swap.

[318lotis]

thanx for replys , Someone mentioned manifold intake swap, from 540 to e30 318is, is that possivble?

[SamE30e]

To put the engine in you need to weld mounts to the frame rails.

Engine swap!! Have fun modifying the transmission tunnel, that's a badass swap though if it's an m60!

[Edev]

m62tu I think? Depending if its an e34 or e39
