haha guess its too late, , but anyway for next time , Its alot easier and faster to remove the engine and box to change the gear boxes out of the car. All you do is undo engine mounts, gearbox mounts, driveshaft at gearbox end and drop the drive shaft hanger bearing ( mark with a pen a line on driveshaft so that if it seperates at the spline you can put it back together how it was so it doesnt become un balanced). and remove bonnet (if auto remove oil cooling pipes from radiator, and unplug wires from box and disconnect the gear shift linkage) ( for manual disconnect the clutch slave cylinder and unplug wires from box and remove the gear shift linkage and gear shift mounting plate) remove wheels off car and put onto raised axel stands at front... This is so that you can get under car and later lower the body so that you can get clearance for engine and box Remove engine with gear box still attached, Use and engine hoist to pull out engine, but You will need to set up the chains to engine so that i lifts up the engine on a failry steep angle so that the gearbox hangs lower than engine Once the engine is up then lower the body down so that you have clearence to get out the engine and box without hitting the body of car. ( due to angle of the engine and box on hoist) then when its out off the car remove the gearbox and fit the new gearbox while it is out of the car, ( if changing from auto to manual dont forget the bearing that goes in the middle of the fly wheel on the manuals as autos dont have them) after replaceing the torque converter with fly wheel.. before putting engine and gearbox in, ( if auto to manual conversion, Fit the hydrolic lines and changes pedals, and also fit the manual drishaft as it is longer than an auto driveshaft) Then basically put the engine and gear box back it the same way it came out but take care and try not to hit the hydrolic lines or wire on the fire wall. and dont forget to bleed the clutch lines at the slave cylinder before using it. this is easier said then done but should take less than a days work with one person doing the job. Hope i havent missed anything important, but its fairly strait forward once you get started.

Ive made adptor leads before for these and had them work 100% no worries, and it was maby an hours worth of changes if you do it all tidy. I changed my 318i to 323i, then from the 323i engine to 325i engine. all engines went into the 318i prefacelift e30 no worries, and the 325 i fitted was also a facelift. It also changed from l jettronic to motronic and worked no worries without changing the loom in the car or wiring in actual car. I dont have my wiring diagrams anymore so I wouldnt be able to tell you how to do this, but trust me it can be done. But as the others have said you will need to upgrade your brakes and suspension for wof as its more than a 15% power increase in the engine and extra weight.

i have a gearbox from a 525e, m20 e28 I wana know if it will fit a e28 525i m30? Anyone know? google is useless haha

Momo wheel. Fiberglass buckets. Harnesses modified air intake. plus other small mods.. Plan an m50 or newer 6 cylinder conversion Looking for coil overs, new or used also. so lemme know if anyone has any for sale.. Will be going fairly nato on this project so you should see alot more in the near future. gtta get my licence for racing too.

will my 323 clutch and fly wheel fit a 318i engine? both manual boxes but 318i hasnt got a manual flywheel or clutch or pressure plate.

whats the front kit on that car? i have the exact same one sitting in storage at the moment but have no idea what brand it is.

as above its only 110hp . its aparently a 325e engine e30. so just a strangled 2.7 liter for econnomy but can be modified to pull over 200hp fairly easily...

just use whatever cpu that comes with engine and whatever loom that comes with the engine. wiring to car is a 20min job max even if you are goin from preface lift jetronic to face lift motronic pay me ill convert your cars........... Easy............. as long as you have all the bits or ill sus them from ray (if needed).

wanted.... BMW fiberglass front kit. Must NOT be an apron type or lip. must be similar mtech 2 copy style or evo m3 style rieger copy.. will be used without standard bumper under neath so needs to be the full thing, Minus mounts .
