Young Thrash Driver 1020 Report post Posted January 20, 2016 That's awesome. Finally a diesel Laurel that can pull the skin off a rice pudding 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gjm 3194 Report post Posted January 21, 2016 I've never looked for one, but do the engines really sell for $8-9k? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

polley 916 Report post Posted January 21, 2016 I love turbo diesels, would love to build one some day Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eliongater 718 Report post Posted January 21, 2016 I would totally consider putting one of those in my e28. Just not for $8k+! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ahmedsinc 414 Report post Posted January 21, 2016 I wonder if the seller ever got the engine to run using the E61 brain. Custom wiring loom is all well and good but the DME goes looking for quite a bit before it will give the ok to run. Somehow I doubt that an EWS delete will be quite as simple as cutting the wire at pin 18 Would be an epic swap into an E30 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hybrid 1039 Report post Posted January 22, 2016 Needs manual programming which needs a whole lot of other things connected as making it all work correctly outside of the vehicle on the bench isnt trivial. Sweet concept, and would go super well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
