what motor do I have

[logger]

Can someone help me? I pulled a mtor out of a 95 ti that had a 6cyl swap in it. Wanted to know if I could check the serial numbers some where to see what engine it is. Thanks.

So sorry ! Can you help ?

Look for a VIN number on the block and run a carfax is what I would do. Otherwise stampings on the head/block might shed some light on what it is.

Ok I have all the numbers and will try car fax.

There were E36 Compact's in Europe with the M50, they were referred to as the 323ti (produced from 1/97 to 8/00.) However, the pictured motor looks very much like an M52 (judging by the intake manifold.)

^ what he said.


You might be lucky and get the info off of the white sticker that's on the back of the head or block, just above the flywheel. It's a white plastic sticker that has a bunch of info on it, and somewhere on there MAY be the engine code or the VIN code that will tell you what engine it is. Either take a good pic of that sticker + post it up or post up what's on the sticker and we'll figure it out for you.... ;)

agreed, it is a single-vanos m50/52 with an 96+ mani, at least

No...there were 323ti...m52b25 engine,thats why it looks like m52 ;)

[TDE30]

Yeah, obviously there were no M50's during their 1/97 - 8/00 production run. I meant to say M52 B25, same motor that was used in the late model E36 323i/is.
