M60 engine into an E24: what chance... or alternatives?

[arros 0]

Any personal experience of the E24 as a transplant recipent. A manual 628 E24 at a reasonable price as a possible candidate looks like a nice cruiser.

Would need brake and suspension modification too I guess?

An E34 3.5l one may get away without certification if done properly- testing stations v unlikely to know but v8 engine would be way more obvious

What's my objective? Something that looks nice- bit different (in eye of beholder granted) with a bit of gas when right foot wants down

535i engine will be an easy swap , maybe add turbo for extra go.

m60 v8 will require a bit more work.

,possible remote brake booster set up (maybe e34 v8 set up with some mods might be ok)

matching V8 manual box will be better than trying to get a auto to work etc.

modified headers and engine mounts etc . other than that they fit in ok.

if possible go afor a later non vanos 4.4l from 96/97 540i 740i etc and run it on a m60 4L v8 ecu , loom etc

have an actical in a mag with e39 m5 v8 in a m635csi

Thanks Brent. I'd look closer at the 3.5 = turbo setup in an E24 rather an 4.0/4.4 if it's an easier convert.

Looking at another option: same as you- the E28. Had one before (auto) and do like the model. Would be interested in sourcing a manual E28 and looking at what engine I could put into it (perhaps a turbo on the 3.5). Turbo parts wouldn't come up very often...

What sort of options for less than $10K me wonders

talk to marty(back yard bandit) if you want to do a turbo set up , he has done a few and may have some parts /options for you .
