Great swap. Awesome looking car, too.
That is the one David Towe owns. Jim Richards still owns his championship car (and his championship E24). The stock arms are 99% likely due to rules mandating stock arms vs the much freer DTM regulations.Pork Hunt Motorsport

Love this car! Something about a reliable hi-revving 4 banger. Congrats on getting it legal. Im building an aluminum M52 and when it gets swapped in, Im going to have a fun time trying to make it legit. All part of the fun, right??Simon

In California the emissions is really strict since the air quality is terrible. Motor must be from the same manufacturer and must be newer than the vehicle itself. You also have to have all the emissions equipment from the donor car. My M52 is an OBD2 car, but Im going to tell them its a M50 OBD1 car and I have all the emissions equipment to support that. My 84 needs a little more work though since I also need a working CELSimon

Most other places in the states don't give a crap about engine swaps. Any cars that came pre OBD1 only have to pass a sniffer test and a gas cap test. That is, if the county even requires emissions testing. Many counties don't even have safety inspectionsComment
