swap troubles.

ok so i new to bmw i got my 325e in april. its kinda slow for me. so i bought an m50 planning to do the swap. but the guy i got the motor from gave it to me in half. so the head is off as well as the manifolds. it has s52 cams and port and polish done i got the whole swap for 400 but he gave me a huge bag of bolts and i just got gaskets and idk what bolts go where to put the head back on. so if anyone has a diagram or knows what bolts go where that would be a huge help to me thanks!

exactly. every question regarding where anything is, or where it should be, search realoem first.

then search r3v.

then go if you still cant find anything, ask.

Drop the bag of bolts, pull up a comfy seat and do ALOT of research. RealOEM is a good place to start but check out the some of the subforums in r3v that specialize in engine swaps.

Realoem should answer the vast majority of your questions, it'll be the best place to find free diagrams.
