This would look nice in a 3 series.

[jeffbebe 1559]

what's going to replace it, Brent?

[lord_jagganath 421]

M62B44. gosh I would love this engine to go into the touring .... but mountings.... :sigh:

[jeff002 23]

He has exp to do this engine replace.manual touring is coming

[BM WORLD 1258]

yup just a M62B44 and 6spd to go in its place.

and yes the m60 will mount up in your 525i touring , will need a few other parts to make it all go , but nothing is impossible

Thats the spirit.

M62 E34 Touring will be a real package Brent! Would this require a cert?

LVV Certification is always required for any engine or drive-train-related modifications unless specified below: (if modification

does not appear below, always refer to LVV Certifier)

Fitting of or modification to:

LVV Certification is not required provided that: (refer to LVV Certifier if beyond threshold below)

Substitution of engines

 When compared with the OE engine, the replacement engine:  is of the same or less cubic capacity; and  has equal or less weight; and  has the same or less power output; and

 uses the same fuel (petrol, diesel, LPG, CNG); and

 uses the same unmodified attachment points and system (ie bolts-in); and

 uses the same family of block and cylinder head from the same vehicle manufacturer; and

 is of the same configuration.

Reckon you'd need to have a trainspotter of a WoF inspector to pick up the difference between the B40 & B42!

But yes, technically it should be certified However if the vehicle has been converted from auto to manual using ONLY OEM parts and with no modification to the car it does not require certification. I had a good long chat with the certifier the father-in-law uses before commencing on the 325i conversion.

Better safe than failed!

bump anyone want a nice new low km m60b40 v8 engine and trans??

[Andre3000 55]

Damnit Brent if only i had the cash right now i'd be throwing that in the touring. Got stung with some hefty fines/charges after some spirited bike riding... If you still have the engine and trans in March look me up.
