Hi... cant wait to see it finish...

I have one doubt... I found a donnor for the M50B25, but it´s a 525.... there is no problem swaping this right?? after all... it´s the same engine than E36 M50B25 right??

Oh, and that nasty cheap POS cone filter is just temperary.

How could the starter have gone bad just sitting there waiting for the swap to finish?

[a32guy]

Amazing progress. Looking at the first picture, then the last picture, I would SWEAR those must be two different cars!

One thing-- did you put the shift arm in upside down?

On 6-9-2006 TJ and Erick were nice enough to go to the junkyard and pull a motor out for me. Took me a while to do my homework on what i need for the swap. i bought alot of money in new gaskets and parts. I am pleased to anounce that it has started and i did it before the 1 year mark. All i need to do is put the driveshaft in, bleed the brakes, put the tires on, and take her for a spin!

Yes, I just wet myself and started crying.

When we tried to bypass the starter relay we blew the curcuit. i should have looked at the damn ETM. Also i changed the starter to another and it still had the same problem, it would spin but wouldnt engage to the flywheel. i but the dust cover on it and ran a seperate ground and it cranked over. i dont know which helped but i dont care.

BTW: Taking off m50 intake manifold > Taking off m20 intake manifold
was like a 10 minute job.
