91 525i anything good

[Rocco335i]

i found a 525i with a m50 motor i have a 88 ix and i thought of doing the swap but is it really worth it or not also is there any on the 525 that cn bolt on to the ix such as 5 lug conv. or the shocks anything at all

No, you will have to have many parts fabricated. It would be cheaper to buy a new awd 3er.

[Rocco335i]

should i pick up the car and part it out maybe someone would want the motor and trans

[blunttech]

must be a late 91 huh> you sure its an m50?

[Rocco335i]

its got to be they only came with that motor that year i believe its not a m20

[StereoInstaller1]

24V swap on an iX?

Fuck no.

Buy a coupe and swap that.

'89-'91 for the E34 had the M20, so I question how legit that car is.

[Van Westervelt]

Some late 91 year 525i's had m50's.

[Rocco335i]

can i just use the m20 block thats in my car now and swap the head and intake computer etc or is the m50 block completely different

[Kilomph]

completely different. are you trolling?

My car is a 6/91 build and came with the m50. So the transition began somewhere near mid year.

OP, if you can get it cheap, buy it and part it out. The oil pan, pump, and pickup are worth a couple hundred bucks alone...

[Rocco335i]

what do i have to do to the m50 to make it work in the ix then or were can i get more power for the ix

[Jesse30]

you dont have many options for your ix. unless you like spending a lot of money.
