I've been on the forum too long to not have a build thread. The old M42 finally developed rod knock after lots of abuse and high mileage. I have been building up for a M54 swap for over a year now since I pulled a M54 from the yard.
First is a few pictures of the car and what I've done so far on the swap and I will update the thread with more pictures as they happen. This is my first swap so I am learning a lot and taking things slow as well as fixing a lot of issues in the car.
Shortly before the M42's demise
M54 from a E39 330i
Sold the M20 form this 325is and I'm using the, gearbox, driveshaft, and diff for the M54 swap.
Beat up M42
Cleaned up pretty well, I'm shaving some brackets and partly repainting the engine bay.
