    Forget it. To make that engine run in your car will require a standalone engine computer - you simply can't deliver all the signals that computer needs. Expect to pay many thousands of dollars, and I hope you have the transmission, too. And the mid-size diff, and the EWS 3.3 module and wiring and key, and......

    And really, if you're going to THAT much trouble and expense, invest in another liter's displacement.

    i have a complete car...why it cannot work? what sensors?

    i have all the wiring, the key, the ews module, i wrote that in the upper post...

    i have a complete donor car, its a z3 2002

    so nobody nothing???

    today i pulled out the gas pedal and tthe wiring i prepared, so that is sorted out,
    i have the EWS module and the key and the key ring also prepared...next to do is to cut the wires i dont need and to find time to put the engine in...so any help about the wiring diagrams would be much appreciated...

    i want this engine because it has 50000miles, and the engines here in my country all have over 150000, or more...so do you now understand whay i dont put 325 or 328 from e36 in my car...
