duggybuggy 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2007 (edited) hi guys, i just got an e34 525i m20 as a project, its very noisy in the engine bay, it sounds like the injection. is this normal? also just out of curiosity....would the 5 litre v12 from the 750il [late 80s onwards] fit into one of these? what kind of work am i looking at if i buy a m70 and fit it into the 525?
