Hey,
So im on the hunt for my new e30 and i may have found a contender, 1989 bmw 325i with a m52 swap.
Should pass emmisons but my problem is MD engine swap laws, mainly " you can install a newer engine of the same displacement and configuration as one that was originally available for your vehicle" (http://www.ehow.com/list_7203154_mar...ment-laws.html)
The m52 is a 2.8 and the m20 was a 2.5, problem?
Ive seen some people grind off the 3.5 off a m30 and just say its a 2.5, does this work, would i have to do anything other then find a lenient state inspector?
P.S. this would be a daily so historic is not an option.
Anybody been down this road?
TIA
