Hiya, first post to this forum, blah blah ill cut to the chase.
I recently bought a 1997 318is which now has massive bottom end issues. Thankfully I had a friend with a scrap 1995 e34 525i with a full m50 swap. I currently know very little about old BMW's but I have a few friends who have done similar swaps to this before who are willing to help me if I can get all the parts needed.
Basically, I know I'll need exhaust, prop, gauge cluster from a 325 e36 and a couple of other bits but before I even start I was wondering if any e36 wizzards on here could point out any issues to me before I encounter them. I've heard that I may need a e36 harness as the e34 one isn't plug and play like the others.
Any help is much appreciated, thank you in advance!
Equally if I'm blind and haven't seen an existing thread on this topic please link it, thanks
This forum is more of a place to log your build, not really a “how-to” forum. Also considering you’re trying to put an OBD1 engine in an OBD2 car - you’re pretty much on your own.
Also, I am pretty sure that E34 utilizes a front sump oil pan, so you will need a oil pan, and pick up tube from an e36 M50/S50/M52/S52. I am sure all of this can be done, but it is going to take some figuring to put this puzzle together.
